of Langenbeck, has performed another
deed in surgery, He removed cancer
from the stomach of q woman, formed
healthful, If reduced, stomach, and

the Peekskill(N, W Reformed church,
visited Herman Forces house and
while there, SO it is reported, took
drink of liquor. At subsequent meet

the miscellaneous charges arising out OF
the Secocoeni war. Thus the contents
of 1883 bottles and 100 gallons OF
spirits were poured out on tho ground,
and probably a great disaster and dis
grace, such rs might have befallen
