Uncle Daniel Bennett had quite a
novel experience at WOrthington last
Tuesday. He was sitting in doctors
Office there waiting for pension exami-
nation, when he felt suddenly a severe
pricking on the inside of his left arm,
about half way between the wrist and
elbow. Thinking it came from q nee
die in his clothing, he removed his
coats, but found nothing. while the
Pricking became almost unendurable.
The doctor stripped away the shirt
sleeve and found protuberance under
the skin Of the arm. Making an incis.
ion the the cause Of torture was dis
covered in the shape of a fine sewing
needle with the eye outward and the
point probably reaching to the bone of
the arm. The needle so resisted the
doctors efforts to remove it with a
pair of forceps that the eye was bro.
ken. How or when the needle entered
his system Mr.. Bennett has not the
slightest knowledge. He does not re-
member OF ever having been mistaken
for pin. cushion. and thinks he must
have sometime swallowed it with food.
Aside from pretty sore arm he does
not feel any the worse for his novel ex-
perience.-Spirit Lake Beacon.

EDITOR OF ADvANCE-Dear Sir
AS l failed to put in an appearance
last Saturday evening, allow me
through the columns of your paper to
thank those friends who remembered
us in such a kind and substantial man
ner on the fifteenth anniversary of our
welded life. l had no intlmation of
your intended visit until All hour after
the trains passed that could have
brought me among you, and even then

marrying the widow. hope that none
of you will ever be so disappointed in
your matrimonial anticlpations as l

circumstances combine to debar man
the pleasure of attending his own we'd
ding. With many we'll wishes for your

The visitors reached here after md
night last night and were warmly well
coined. Professor Shepherd, noth~itn-
standing the late hour, had his brass
band in the tower awaiting the ARRIVAL
Of the distinguished party, and sere-
naded them handsomely as they Grove
up to the building. which blazed WIN
the electric light from every window.
After par,aking ola bountiful lunch the
guests, accompanied by the snperintend-

laboratory Of the electric light, and
were entertained with the novelty. The
party retired about . o'clock.
This morning after late breakfast
the visitors we're conducted by Captain
yawter and members Of the faculty
over the elegant and spacious building,
visiting the boys school, where l51 hne
lads in neat new uniiorm-blue and
gTsy--were busily engaged in their seve-
raj rooms in their intermediate examina-
ton; and to the female department
where fifty nice-loOking girls In their
pretty brown dresses aud white aprons
were similarly engaged. They then
visited the well-arranged kitchen where
dinner was being prepared in huge
steam-boilers and cooking-ranges for
275 persons the well-suppled store
room; the comfortable and roomy
infrmary, with not single sick
inmate the well-appointed steam
laundry, where everything goes like

The gentlemen then paid visit to
the extensive stables and barns, where
are kept some very fine horses and
pretty equipsges the well-arranged
cow and Lighthouses, with their blood
ed stock, and the capacious silos ada
cent.
An excellent and abundant dinner
was the next thing on the programme.
This was the more enjoyed from being
partaken of in the large dining room
with the 207 happy, chattering chill
dren.
After dinner the machine and
cabinet-shops were visited and the skill
of the young operatives in the manu-
facture of engines, iron and steel inn
plements and handsome furniture was
witnessed, with much surprise and
pleasure. The drawing and book-keep-
ing, the printing and telegraph rooms,
were also visited in turn and the re-
markable proficiency Of the pupils adj
mired. BY this time the round of in
spection, including lookout from the
tow er, was completed. The guests left
about 4 o'clock in conveyances for
Crozet, the nearest station, which is
reached over a fine macadamized road.
Their entertainers were highly pleased
with the pleasant visit, and the visitors
were charmed with everything they
saw, delighted with the system and
good management everywhere dis
play ed, and amazed that 50 much had
been done in seven short years.
