Could, we nqt, as a community occupying a district with little less, than 1800 inhabitants, combine and offer inducements to the medical profession that one could be found, that would-station himself in our midst? I believe so, if the matter were taken up in earnest. Promoters o£ racingvclubs arid other similar institutions find little difficulty in obtaining the ends the}' desire ; and here ps.for us, as heads .of families,,a qiieffion affecting'uß vitally— our Hvefeand tho lives of those near and dear to us.

We moralise and denounce the burial where the rights of clnistian interment arc not observed,..and say in such cases -.that the deceased was buried l ; kc a brute ; but too f"cqueut'y .the aphorism would be more applicable with'many here if it were said that he was allowed to die as a brute, having depaitcd without the a ; d . that science is now capable of rendering. Atropos, o.ic of-the fates, it was who presided over our .troubled destinies.
