litter, designed more particularly for use about
the stove. She said her step.daughter clicked"
her for the reason that her husband signed
over some property to her. She had hardly left
the Office when the wife of Cornelius Sullivan
came in andi displayed her neck, red from the
attempts made by Con to choke her.
A difficult and very successful operation in
veterinary surgery was performed a few weeks
ago by Mr. Nathaniel Sessions of this city, upon
a two years old colt belonging to Mr.. James L.
Libbey, a farmer residing near the Holden line.
The case was one of unlbilical hernia, and was
such bad one that the other farIiers had re-
fused to undertake its cure. Mr.. Sessions ac-
complished it, however, in his own peculiar way,
replacing the protuberance-which was the size
of quart bOwl-by cutting the abdomen open.
The abdominal muscles were then sewed up, the
skin drawn tight over it with quill, and in
three weeks no traces of the breach remained.
The colt was valueless previous to the operation,
ry promise Mr.. Libbey invites the attention of
stock raisers to the job, which is considered a
remarkable one by medical men.
