AMPuTArIoN.- James Meekin who has
been the subject of great suffering from
wound, caused by slight blow with n
hammer, upon his knee when child,
had his leg taken off just above his knee,
on Friday last The operation was per-
formed by DR. G. l.. Allen of Rutland,
assisted by Drs. Eddy and Bass of this
place, DR.. n. Harris administered ether
to the patient, and kept him in an I'M
conscious state through the whole opera
ton. We were never more thankful for
the triumph of science over pain. than
while viewing this operation. The pa
tient soon after the operation was over,
asked pleasantly if it was all off, and on
being assured that it was, said "all
right I" Since the operation he has rest
ed well, and from present appearances
will soon recover his strength aud health.
FAST DAY.-Rev. E. P. Hooker preach
ed the sermon at the Congregational
church. the Methodists uniting in the SER
vices, and in his discourse he showed up
some of the forms of commercial dis
honesty not always recognized and pro-
perly condemned as such, taking for his
text the words of Isaac to his son Jacob
when he was practicing upon his blind
father that deception by which he stole
his brothers blessing. 1.-The voice is
jacobs voice, but the hands are the hands
of E5aa." 1t requires courage to treat
specifically and definitely, sins so prevail
ent through whole communities, that he
cannot touch them without hitting large
numbers, but we must honor the faithful
pastor who does not shrink from even this
unpleasant duty.
AS marble worker Mr., +. W.
Judd of our place is not excelled in this
section of the state. His work in our
cemetery proves the above assertion to be
true. He executed granite monument
for Daniel S. Wells of Milwaukee which
has been set up on his family lotand shows
his superior skill in his profession. The
following card proves that we are not
alone in our good opinion Of Mr.. Judd's
work:
New HAVEN, Jan. |, 1872.
We the heirs of the late Daniel Wright
aud wife, desire to express our thanks to
Mr.. f. W. judd, for the superior quality
of the marble and also for the excellent
workmanship Oh monument for our
ever venerated and worthy parents.
