Mrs. Capt. Robert Beebs, On Sunday
last, was relieved of the middle joint of her
fore finger in e6HsequeAee Of esFious de-
cay. The operation was performed BY Drs.
Bartlett, while the patient was under the
influence of ehlorofOr1n. The front Of the
finger was slit and the skin and flesh turn
ed back to admit Of the cutting Of the bone
on either side Of the knuekle, andTleav-

The temperance lecture of Jane E.
Weeden-the Quaker lady-at the 0pe-
"a House on Friday evening last, was
complete success. The house was filed,
and the lady acquitted herself in y two
hours speech, that commanded respectful
attention. Her style of dehVeEyis very
eedd, though her reasoning may be said to
be open to the criticism more or less COM
mon to the sex1a lack Of compactness, co
hesion and force. It was however, pop1-
lar, and VII ns dsnbt have the good effect
to stir tie peopll up 70 j greater thought-
hilness alid aetiisiity.
The desk Of tle eongrss tional church
va szpflisd ob Sunday ls By Rev. Mr.
afo6,gomery, from Ma1asf. Easten Tur-
ks5, here be has been laboring for several
ye. a the missicaary field. In the even
inc. tlls PIssb9teliiah church accepted an
invitation to join with their neiighbors in
to the Missionary on the subject
of his work-the field and people where his
lot is east. The gentleman showed him
self q man Of ready ability and thoroughly
understanding his duty, and endowed with
wisdom and devotion for its discharge. His
address was instructive and satisfactory.
Miss Belle Marsh, teacher in our public
schools, has made known her wish to the
ladies' missionary society of Ashtabula to
offer herself to the American Board as
Missionary to Japan Steps ,are to be tax
en- to bring her application before the
Board, and her self sacrificing wish graft
fed. The ladies OF the local society have
pledged themselves to contribute to her
to the extent of $50 year. Td1
10 this, some Of thsme1nbers have propos4
ID to double their annual subscription.
Should this propo lion be adopted, Miss
Marsh win be considered as the special
ward Of this society, and the ladies of the
Presbyterian church.
0elN. B. BatekAm is good authority in
fruit matters, and therefore the following
paragraph from the Painesville Telegraph
no doubt faithfully and intelligently shows
the condition of things in that locality.
THE FRUIT BUDs.-0n our trees we find |
1ut few of the apple buds uninjured. Pears |
ire, perhaps one-half killed, and sweet |
,herries about the same-some of the vari- |
.ties not hurt. The finer kinds Of plums |
IRE also damaged, but the damsons are all |
light. Peaches are nearly ali killed; the |
,nly tree upon which We find any live buds |
S a seeding, and the meanest tree on the |
premises. Reports from around Toledo are |
more favorable. Raspberry bushes show
Iome injury Of the buds, but we think viii |
not be failure. Other small fruits, and |
yrapes, are seemingly all right.
We have to congratulate our friend
Brett, musical leader of the Presbyterian |
'hoir, upon his success in getting togeth-
Z . really superior choir. After the trials |
nd disappOintments which have been ex-
in this department of worship in
hat church. the achievement is one of inn

nay be permitted to name those of this

Profanity is about the most common

little surprising. Its long and frequent
