Orville Fisher, of Tefft son qf Frank Fisher, got n piece of toothpick or n splinter out of sugar In his throat last week caused him a great deal of

pain. The family physician was called and made three or four attempts to extract the splinter, and then only got a portion of it, enough, however, to relieve any possible danger. It was thought the remaining portion would come out of its own accord and with less pain than an operation would be. Wm. Bachtold is .now able to he out of doors a part of the time.
