Glover. seerd for NGVino A SINGULAR surgical operation was performed a few weeks ago, by Dr. Macdonald, on a young son of Mr. John Gray. of Varney. The boy he came very ill, and the Doctor was unable to diagnose the case .to his satisfaction. In some ways it seemed like appendicitis, but evidence was lacking so a postponement was made, and aperients given with very indiflerent results. The Doctor was at his wits end to know what to do. Other physicians were called in anda consultation held when it was decid. ed asalast resort to examine the intestines and, if possible, ascertain the cause of the obstruction. The Operation followed accordingly, and it seemed that beyond a slight in- flammation of the intestines they were quite normal There was notho ing wrong with the appendix to cause any serious ailment. and the Doctor seemed more baffled than ever. Before closing up the wound, how- ever. the intesrines were again examined, when the discovery of a lump caused a suspicion that the seat of trouble was now located. There seemed to be some living thing inside. An incision was made, and wrth his forceps the Doctor drew out a large sized worm eleven and one half inches long. This had been curled up in the intestine so as to form a lump sufliciently large to stop all passage. All this happened about three weeks ago. though we only heard of it Monday. The boy is well now and the grateful parents rejoice over his miraculous recovery. THE ground is now here in spots but there’s a great depth of snow in the middle of the road. The rapid thaw was suddenly checked and saved much destruntion from spring freeh- ets. As it was the low-lying portions of Kent and South Lambton met with much loss from floods. Chatham. Dresden and Wallacebnrg were heavy suflerers, West London too met with heavy loss by the rise of water in the Thames. A GENTLEMAS said the other day that a sale advertised in the Uh ronicle was sure to draw a crowd We can readily believe that people enjoy reading the list at their own tire-aide in cold weather eSpecially, much bet- ter than to stand up beside a telegraph pole and read it on a bill.

DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, MARCH 31. 1904 S G. Women’s Institute. Derham Cemetery Q 1.. .ra l LAST Wednesday afternoon a very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mrs. \Vilkinson near Varney. when her daughter. Miss Annie. was married to the young man of her choice, Mr. Fred Forrester. former- ly a resident of Varney but now livo ing near Holstein. At four o’clock in answer to the lively strains of the Wedding March played by Miss Maggie Aldred, the bride entered the parlor leaning on the arm of her brother Harry. and took her place (unattended) beside the groom who was waiting. The ceremony was con- ducted by the Rev. Truax ol' Holstein. The bride looked charming in a tra- velling suit of silver grey cloth with waist of rream lustre trimmed with white silk cord and pearls. The groom looked very happv indeed.- After congratulations were ofiered the company repaired to the dining room where two tables were laden down with dainties suitable for the occasion. The Bride’s cake was a handsome three story structure, made by the Bride’s mother. After tea the evening was Spent in games, music and singing. when all went; home well pleased at having beeni there and wondering who would be the next one to take advanta e oil leap year. The presents to the ride were handsome as well as each and every one being useful. On account of the blockade on the railroads only one of the relatives from a distance was able to get there being Miss For- rester. sister of the groom of Toronto.

THE travelling shows have been kind of scarce this Winter, and the public hasn’t lost much, if the shows this season are built on the same plan as the great majority that. struck this town. The big lethographs are a taking feature, and those who gaze with mouths agape on the red pic- tures can’t see for the life of them the connection between the picture and the show. It’s so seldom the peOple get value for their money that few of those travelling concerns deserve public patronage. It’s likely there will be one here shortly since traffic has Opened up. UN Saturday last Mr. E. A. Rowe. who spent the last six or seven years in the Bakery Business disposed of his household effects by Public Auc- tion. and Auctioneer Carson astonish- ed himself in the prices obtained for many of the articles disposed of.
