How 1t Fsels to Undergo an Operation.
A party of three gentlemen were
seated at table of popular cafe the
other evening discussing the case of a
friend who had recently been through
terrible surgical operation, when one
of the party, who had had similar
operation performed on him some
years ago, observed: "a man who ia
about to undergo a difficult surgical
operation experiences something of the

The Troubles OF Publisher in the Eigh-
tecnth Century.
A quaint old newspaper clipping, illus
trative of journalistic enterprise in thu
good old colonial days, has come to light
in this town. It is from The Connecticut
Gazette and bears the date Of July s,
1865. This paper was the first established
in New Haven colony, and the first num-
Der appeared in 1855, over a hundred
years after Connecticut was entered By
the whites. Dr. Franklin was for q time
connected with The Gazette. The clip
ping in part is as follows:
A year is past since the printer Of this
paper published proposals for reyiving
The Connecticut Gazette. IT'S needless
to mention the reasons why it did not
appear sooner. a sample Of it is
now sent abroad in order to collect
a sufficient number Of subscribers to
barely pay the charge for carrying Of it
on. When such number appears It
shall be printed weekly and delivered to
subscribers in town and country at the
rate of two pence for each paper, which
is eight shillings eight pence for one
year. And no addition shall be made TO
the price when the stamp act takes effect,
if it is then encouraged so as to be afford
ed at that rate.
Subscribers are not desired to engage
for any particular time, so that they can
stop it when they please. Aspecial post
is appointed to carry it out Of the CON-
mon post roads. Advertisements shall
be printed at a moderate charge accord
ing to their length.
All kinds OF provisions, fire wood and
other suitable country produce will be

money, if delivered at the printers dwell

LONDON, Dec. S-The Parnellites and
their opponents rested on their arms Sun
day after the exciting events of Saturday.
The secession of forty-five members of the
Irish parliamentary party from the con-
vention, upon Mr.. Parnell's refusal to put
a motion ordering him to leave the chair,
is still the talk of the town. The Parnell-
ties, it is sunderstood, are anxious to force
an appeal to the country as soon as possible,
and claim that their antagonists are afraid
to submit the issue of their conduct to the
people. It IL stated on the alleged author
ity of Timothy Healy that the party headed
by Justin Mccarthy will continue to keep
their seats without any designations, up.

proportion of the Irish members have been
in receipt of stipends for their services IN

those disconnected from Parnell are to
receive their salaries hereafter, as the COM
