of good, large•size with plenty of qual-
ity of all demands, and possessing an
extra appearance of rare beauty.
Such horses are becoming very rare,
both in Canada and the Old Country,
consequently they are high priced and
in fact very difficult to procure.
The following taken from the Al-
goma Advocate, printed at Thessalon,
has reference to a former resident of
Usborne and is a brother of Mr. Thos.
Case of that township. His many
friends here will be pleased to hear
that he has gone through the opera-
tion successfully. "One of the most
successful operations as well as the
first of the kind ever attempted in our
district, was performed in the Victor-
ian Hospital on the afternoon, of the
8th inst., when Dr. Taylor, assisted by
Dr. Baxter, operated on Mr, Case for
a severe forts of Hernia. Mr. Case
has been a sufferer from hernia for 22
years and during that time has, been
treated by several experts but without
receiving any benefit. Not long ago
he was carefully examined by Dr.
Taylor, who assured him that the
chances for a successful operation with
the knife were reasonably -certain, and
accordingly he entered the hospital on
the 2nd inst. and the operation took
place as stated above. Mr. Case stood
the operation well and the doctor is
quite satisfied that a strong union of
the ruptured parts will have formed
at the expiration of a month's perfect
rest."
Sold His Practice.
It is with regret that a ,number of
our readers will learn that E.. A. Ten-
nant, V.S., has sold his practice and
intends leaving Exeter. His successor
is Arthur Ramsay, V.S., who has been
practising at Staffa for some time,
and, while welcoming him back to
town, we cannot but express our re-
gret that the town is about to lose a
valuable citizen. We understand. Dr.
Tennant will go out west to practice
his profession. Dr. Ramsay is an old
Exeter boy and we bespeak for him a
liberal share of what is going. •
Mr. W. H. Levett has this week en-

place of the old door way; thus leaving
room for a much larger and better
appointed office.

Dr. Ramsay met with an accident
on. Saturday last which might easily

and, when about to throw a steer, the
beast kicked him in the face, inflicting
a lengthy gash under the left eye that
required fourteen stitches to close.
The Dr. is able to attend to his prac-
tice but carries a nasty wound.
