operations of this kind, to assist, and
the lady having been brought to town,
the operation was yesterday success
| fully performed. An lncision about 10
inches in length was made in the ab-
domen, and the tumor was found to be
u polycist, that is, numerous cists or
sacks in one large one. A number of
these cists were punctured to remove
the colloid fluid, the adhesions to the
abdominal walls, which were numer-
Gus, were then broken up, and the tu-
NOR was lifted from the abdominal cav
| itX, after which the pedical was ligated
and the tumor cut loose. 1t filed
patent pail nearly full and weighed T.
| bout 26 pounds.

ed to perform the operation, during
! which Mrs. Anderson was under the in
| flurnce of ether.

The mills at Milford, eight miles
south Of town, are having work from
long distances. owing to the river mills
being short of water. These mills were
both put in good repair last season, yet
Mr.. Barkman informs us that he in
tends to increase the capacity Of his
mill for work yet more. If this town
and county had more Barkmans it
would prosper ut Il greater rate. He is
what yon might call '>broad gauge"
man, and not only willing to let others
live, but has given many a. lft.-Jack-

of all denominations and creeds shall

enough in it's place; hut when the Or
Eanzer of the new church has to draw
II congregation by announcing that
wonderful miracles have befallen him,
we think the lunatic asylum is a more
appropriate place for him than the pull
pit. The age OF miracles is past.-WY.
