Delicate Operation Performed.

DR.. John Kelly yesterday morning
performed an operation on Dominick
Killeen, of Brooklyn street. for an
abscess on the neck. The operation
took place at DR.. Wheeler's private hos
pital. Great skill had to be exercised
because of the many nerves and blood
vessels in the part of the body manipu-
lated upon.
Mr.. Killeen had bel II affected for
more than three weeks, and applied to
DR.. Kelly for relief. The physician at
once determined the nature of the
trouble and advised him to go to the
hospital. When the operation was per-
formed an incision one and a halt
inches deep was made, which opened
the abscess. A large quantity of pus
was extracted. The doctor also found
that the pus had begun to spread and
had the operation not been performed
the patient would have been strangled
by the pressure of the swelling on the
windpipe.

announced to be taken up to help de-
fray the expenses Of the evening,
Druggist w. S. Bloes was in the au-
dience and offered TO pay all bills that
had been contracted for the evenings
enjoyment. 1t is needless to state
that the offer was promptly accepted.
Mr.. Bloes wishes to correct an error
that was penned by the local Republi-
can scribe, to the effect that he had
recepted bill for the supplies pur-
chased at his store. Such was not
the case, as the committee made no
purchases at his store and his offer
was to the effect that he would pay
all bills contracted for that evenings
entertainment, including the candy,
nuts, etc.

RopIna in the Farmers.

The farmers of this county are warned
to be on their guard against five smooth
tongued agents of agricultural nipple
ments who have lately been working in
the neighboThood of Freehold, and who arr
said to be working their way Southwark.
Their plan is to start out with five
wagons loaded with plows, etc, in al
many different directions, stopping at al
the farms by the way.
They fstter the farmers by Offering
each a special price in order to INTRODUCES
the pillow, and will sell to him ten dollars
cheaper because he is "a man of influence,
and they wish his name TO use in selling tt
his neighbors..
In proof that it is really an under price
they show each farmer note signed by
some nearby farmer for the foil price, bui
offer to let him have pillow if he viii
sign note for the full amount and give
him credit for ten dollars on the back O.
the note.
If he will buy on these terms, and he
usually does, for the plan is said TO WORK
like a charm, the credit is written on the
back, but in such place that it can be
torn off without injuring the note.
1t is in this that the trick lies for tbs
agents will not accept cash, and as they
can easily turn the note over to third
party, the farmers have no redress, but
must pay the full face of the note to thu
party holding it when it falls due, tbs
agents never being seen again.
Not only do they make farmers pay
more than they expected, but they ever
beat them out of their board. One War
rem county farmer boarded them, and OF
buying pillow accepted credit on the bach
of the note for the amount of the board
lie has been compelled to pay the full face
of the note.
