No My Friends l:

wish to correct statement in regard to the operation on my little girl.
 I had engaged Dr Averll to perform it but was obliged to cut into the wind pipe and insert the tube myself.
 Two days afterward, Dr Averill and Dr Weed from Falls Village, introduced an aspirating needle about two inches in the side of her neck and drew out two ounces of matter. After that my baby could take nourishment, but the wind pipe was still closed. Four days after Dr Averill had performed his operation, l had another council of physicians-Dr Young from Bridgeport, Dr Averi1 and Dr Weed from Falls Village, and intro duced an aspirator, (which is needle with hole through the center and sharp at one end," and drew out nearly as much matter as before. I left the tube in the wind pipe eighteen days before baby could breath through the natural passage. 1 then removed 1t and now the wound is entirely healed, and baby doing well.
 In conclusion would say that 1t was caused from what physicians call ''post pharangeal abcess." Trusting this ex- planation will set at rest all questions, remain, Respectfully,

Surprfsers Surprised.

About 70 people from this village, comprising old and young, assisted in concocting one of those diabolical schemes known as a surprise party and perpetrated the crime at the residence of MT and Mrs Frank Hitchcock last Thursday evening. The surprise wasn't a surprise after all, for some one who had evidently read Josiah Allan's wife's opinion on the subject and probably agreed with her, let the cat out of the bag, but that incident had no tendency to mar the enjoyment of the company. The evening was passed very pleasantly, refreshments were served and music fur nished and all enjoyed themselves. The presents were numerous, useful and val uable. The party broke up at a season. able hour, wishing Mir and Mrs Hitch cock many years of happy welded life. We append list of the presents and names of the donors:-

We're lovingly told in the book of life,
 Of beautiful land with beauty rife; Of home where the crucifed Jesus waits, To welcome us in thro' the golden gates. home where the weary feet can rest,
 Where never a sorrow or vague unrest, Can come to mar our perfect bliss.
 In the book of life, He tells us this. Of city whose builder and maker is God, Where mortal foot has never trod; For the river of Death flows darkly between That heaven of rest-and this world of sin, And the boatman who carries us over the tide, Brings no one back from the other side; He returns alone from that land of bliss, In the book of life He tells us this. We're told of the angels so bright and fair, Ofthe loved and lost who will meet us there; Of the crystal sea, and the harps of gold,
 And the river Christ, will our eyes behold. Of the tree of life with it's branches wide,
 And waving palms on every side; Ofthe river which flows thro' the city's midst, In the book of life He tells us this. At the open gate, Christ ever stands, With marks of the nails on his pierced hands; To the weary, worn and sore distressed,
 He tenderly says, 'I will give you rest" Come unto me, your burdens I'll bear, In the beautiful home I Ihave gone to prepare For those who love me- a mansion of bliss, In the book of life He tells us this. And so when my life is full of care,
 Andmy burdens seem greater thanIcan bear When with bitter tears my eyes are wet,
 And thorns and briars my path eset, think of this loving Christ, so grand
 And feebly grope for touch of His hand, To guide me alright is His precious promise, In the book of life He tells us this. And when my earthly life is past,
 And my weary hands are crossed in rest, When the angel calls 10 bear me away,
 May I enter this realm of endless day. I fshall gaze onHis face as 1 pass thro'the portal Of this beautiful home where all is immortal; He will welcome me into the land of bliss, In the book of life He has told us this.

A Cat Adopts Chickens.

Bless her motherly heart She pitied their forlorn condition, and having been bereft of all but one of her own babies, she yearned to comfort these two downy chickens, which we had rescued from death, so we put them in her nest, for which she showed her thanks as plainly as cat could.
 She cuddles them under her neck or puts her paw over them, and when they pick her ears is as patient as possible. When they hop into her dish to eat with her, she takes it as quite the thing for them to do, and waits to see if they can eat piece of meat before she will eat it herself
 They return her affection, following her about the room, calling loudly when she leaves them, and nestllng close to the kitten when she does not soon return. When we first put the chickens out of doors in the sunshine, she several times brought them back in her mouth, with out iniuring them, having to climb a wood pile seven or eight feet high to do so, the doors being shut.
 She hcks them as though they had fur. They are happy family"

1t is interesting and wonderful to see how
much animals are capable of being taught Those
who understand these capabilities, and mako
use of them, render the task of caring for the
animals much pleasanter one; besides valuable
time is often saved. An animal that will come
at the sound of his masters voice will save HIM
many a step during the year. One man steps
into his pasture and calls, and in a few minutes
his horse is at his side Another spends half an
hour in hunting for his horse, and then has
more or less difficulty in catching him
A horse naturally timid and nervous should
be handled with all the greater gentleness.
There is 10 need of throwing the harness heavily
on his back it can be placed there gently lust as
well; and no good can come from the cross, loud
or harsh tone of voice. BY Jerking pulling and
scolding, he can easily be spoiled. The horse.
so far as possible, should be taught to obey his
masters word of command without depending
wholly on the use of the halter or rein The
rein may unbuckle or break when on the road.
and serious accident may be avoided if the
horse is thus trained to obey.
The nervous unframed heifer may be far
from the quiet gentle cow we wish her to be-
come, and goodly amount of both kindness
and patience may be needed before she becomes
such. One thing is certain, what these can nos
do in the right direction, harsh treatment never
like the plan of beginning early in the
training of animals; in fact, to have course in
view that shall commence with their birth. The
power of habit is strong in animals as we'll as in
men; perhaps stronger in the former since they
have not the intellect to teach them the advan-
tage or necessity of any change. 1t is easier to
teach good habits in the start than to break I'D
bad ones after they have been formed
Kindness to animals demands that there be
uniformity in the course of treatment adopted
Otherwise they become confused, and are often
blamed when the blame is not theirs In order
for them to know their place and duty at all
times, they must have master who knows his,
and who recognizes theirs whom they can
trust, and on whom they can depend Many
cross, fractions or unruly animal has been made
so through improper training often imagine
that l see in some animal certain traits of his
master These dumb creatures around us may
know more than we give them credit for know
ing, and the silent workings of our influence
over them may be far greater than we suppose.
