SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. —Oil Thuile.
day, Janua-ry 12th, Dr. McNaughton,
of this town, assisted by Drs. Gunn of
Clinton; Evans, of Seaforth, and Hut-
chinson, of Brussels, removed a large
double abdominal tumor from a lady of
this place. The tumor weighed over
twenty pounds, and contained a large
lump of hair, some bone, and several
well -formed teeth. The lady at latest
accounts is rapidly recovering. Dr.
McNaughton and his able assistants are
to be congratulated in thus grasping
from death what must have proved an
easy victim but for the triumphs and
pluck of modern surgery.
FARMERS' INSTITUTE. — The East
Huron Farmers' Institute was held on
Friday and Saturday of last week. On
Friday the officers were elected, and in
the afternoon session papers were read
by the president, U. McFadden, on the
raising and breaking of the driving
horsehorseD. Ro.bertson on sheep, and by
Mr.
;
on Rotation of crops. In
the evening an interesting entertairnent
was given, consisting of music, readings
and recitations by local talent, and ad-
dresses from J. McMillan'M. P., on
"The farmer's position," by Simpson
Rennie on "What the schools have done
-for the farmer," and by Professor Pen-
ton on "The formation of soil." The
latter was a scientific lecture, and was
intently listened to by the large audi-
ence. The professor is at home on a
lecture of this kind, making his subject
so plain that all can understand. He -is
certainly the right man in the right
place. On Saturday papers were read
by J. McMillan on "The draft horse,"
W. H. McCracken on " The raising of
rnangolds," and by Professor Penton on
"Cattle feeding scientifically considered,"
and on "Testing of seeds." The papers
were well critized, and were full of in-
formation to all. Papers were also read
by R. Mchlillaai on "Feeding of stook,"
S. Rennie on "Draining," and Russel
Bishop on "Manures." All the papers
were of the best, and were a bly criticised
by leading farmers present. This insti-
tute was the most successful held,
and farmers are beginning to resalme the'
benefits to be received from them.. • The
attendance was large, being about 300
at each session. The next institute will
be held in Wroxeter in June of -this
year. The Institute has a good scientific
library on farming and kindred subjects,
which is circulated among its members,
and every farmer in the -riding should be
a member. It only costs 25 cents, which
should be sent to Wm: Bishop, the secre-
tary.
Zurich.
FARM SOLD.—We understand that
Mr. John B. Geiger, of the .Brownson
Line, Hay, , has- sold his hundred acre
farm to Mr.'has. Brills of thie village,
for the BUM of $6,100. Mr. Geiger in-
tends leaving, about March next for
Dakota. He is an old and highly
esteemed resident of the township, and
will be much miised.
. BRIEFS.—Mr. S. Witwer a few days,
ago moved to ' Blake, where he has his
own property. We regret his leaving
but wish him success.—Mr. Levi Hai-
macher, formerly living in Blake, moved
last Tuesday into the vacant house on
the farm of the late Mr. Dustin, on the
Bronson Line.—Mr. Chas. Baur, for-
merly of Zurich, but now of Dak ta, re-
cently paid his father and brother Henry
a visit; he only stopped one nig t and
then went away again.—Mr. Joh Wil-
liams is preparing to build ne4 sum-
mer, and Mr. M. Zeller is doing lik wise.
They are getting a lot of stone an' and

tract. The congregation of the van-
gelical church on the 14th concesiimi of
Hay, are also making preparations to
build anew brick church next year.. _

ed two powerful sermons in the Con-
gregational church on Sabbath last and
lectured in the same place on Monday
evening. He was also announced to
give another lecture on the following
evening but owing to the scarcity of
seating capacity it was adjourned to the
_Presbyterian church when that large
edifice was filled1 with an appreciative
audience. He dwelt largely on the
emptiness of secularism showing
its utter worthlessness to mankind.
The Doctor is, perhaps, one of
the greatest reasoners of the age
and a powerful lecturer.—The members
of Maitland Lodge, Independent Order
Oddfellows, paid a visit to Teeswater
on Friday evening last and some of them
took part in a public entertainment,
under the auspices of Teeswater Odd-
fellows.—J. A. Cline has been elected

—The Congregational church at Listo-
wei held their annual social on Tuesday

ance of the evening spent in merriment.
—At the funeral of Mr. John Hazel-
wood, who died recently near Kirkton,

township about 38 years ago, and at his

ers of five hundred and sixty acres of

— Owing to Mr. Kidd's financial diffi-
culties the salt works, stave factory,

Mr. John Hannah, of Seaforth, the
enterprising owner and manager of the
creamery has just shipped 17,000 lbe. of
butter from our creamery to Liverpool
direct, and intends to follow and market
it himself. This is a step in the right
direction. We hear that Mr._ Hannah
intends trying to make arrangements for
sending next season's make direct to the
' old country; if so, we may expect a
boom in the butter line next summer.
It does seem that the creamery business
here has fallen into first-class hands.
—The now celebrated election for
Queen's, New Brunswick, between
Baird and King took piece on Wednes-
day, but owing to a severe snow storm
and blocked roads very few returns had
been received up to Thursday morning.
At that time, however, it was learned
that Baird has a majority of three in the
parish of Petersville, comprising three
polling places. The result would indi-
cate the election of King by a good
majority, as Baird's majority in the
parish last winter was eighty-three.
--Robert Orme, a farmer who attend-
ed a cheese factory meeting in London
on Tuesday, was murdered and robbed
on his return home the same night. The
scene of the tragedy is on the first con-
cession, township of London, and the
place bears evidence of a desperate
struggle. The first intimation of the
tragedy was° received by a son of the
deceased who found his father's horse
and empty cutter standing at the door.
Jumping in, he traced the way back and
found his father lying beside the road
covered with blood. There were four
shots in his head and a 32 -calibre re-
volver was found lying beside him. As
all the pockets were inside out it is pre-
sumed the object of the murder was rob-
bery. There is not the slightest clue at
present to the perpetrators.
—A very important despatch to the
Toronto Mail from Washington appear-
ed on Wednesday, stating that no
progress whatever has been made by the
Fisheries, Commission. Canada's de-
mands as_to her fishing rights are not
supported by Mr. Chamberlain, her re-
-,quest for reciprocity is rejected by the
American representatives; and it is
understood that the bill to be passed by
Congress putting fish, coal, lumber and
salt on the free list will have the proviso
that Canada is not to be included until
the fisheries dispute is ended, placing
this country awkwardly between the
devil and the deep sea.
At Curious Messenger.
We hear many stories of bottles pick-
ed up at sea, giving accounts of ship-
wrecks, but a curious story comes from
Australia. A dead albatross 'as found
on the coast of Freemantle, having tied
to its neck a tin tablet on which was
written in French: "Thirteen ship-
wrecked persons have taken refuge on
Crozet Island, August 4, 1887." The
dead bird was carried to the Governor at
Sydney. It was believed that the ship-
wreeked persons were the crew of a
French bark hailing from Bordeaux.
Crozet Island is situated to the south-
east of the Cape of Good Hope. Fish
and game abound in ;and about the is-
land. The albatross must have come a
distance of over 2,000 miles across
water.
The albatross is the largest web-footed
bird The spread of its wings is about 12
feet, and it weighs twenty pounds and
upwards- The plumage is white with
the wings tipped with dark feathers.
•
The beak is long and very strong.; is of
a pinky' white, and tipped with yellow.

Liv ERPOOL, England, Jan. 18.—While business
here is not actNe in any sense we are able to re-
port a steady improvement. Canadian and
United States receipts have been light
but of better (plenty, and if shippers will bear
in mind that only the best descriptions
are wanted here, and that only those will laell at
all advantageously over here, it will be better
for us and much better for them. The prospects
of a considerable lift in trade are, we think,
good; quotatiens now are hardening and must
soon advance.
