TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO DR.. HoIYoKE.
The occasion. of this celebration is SO inter-
esting and so remarkable, that we give a
full account it. The venerable object of
this mark of respect, Edward Augustus
Holyoke, NJ. D. LII. D., has so long held a
distinguished rank in the profession, that for
ty-seven years ago, when the Massachusetts
Medical Society was organized, he was the
first to be elected President of that impor-
tant and useful institution, to which Office
he was annually elected for several years ::
and ten years ago, at the age of ninety, he
succeeded the late President Adams as
President of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences. The celebration was emil
nently medical one, designed to show the
respect felt by the profession for him who
had so long and SO honourably practised it.
The only guests from without the profession
were the Rev. DR.. Prince and Rev. Mr..
Brazer, one long an associate and friend. the
other the Pastor of DR.. Holyoke. The com
pany, consisting of about fifty physicians OF
Boston and Salem, were assembled at the
Lafayette Hotel in Salem, when little be-
fore two o'clock DR.. Holyoke entered, ac-
complained by the committee of arrange

RAISING OF THE BoLToN MEETING
House.. We observed an article in the last
Galaxy remarking upon paragraph in our
paper, stating that no ardent spirit was used
by the hands employed in raising the Meet
ing-house in Bolton. In order to prevent a
wrong construction from being put upon the
motives of the gentleman alluded to in the
Galaxy. we deem it our duty to reply.
We are no advocates for canting hypocri-
sy, but we do honour the man, of whatever
sect, who exhibits truly christian spirit in
endeavouring to better the condition of his
fellow-men by checking the progress Of
vice. The Galaxy says: =
Mr.. Wilder, the patron and chief owner of the
new house OF worship, gave to each man thus EN-.
Ployed twenty-five cents day, compensation for
abstinence from ardent spirit" What virtue there
is IN temperance bought at such rate we have not
sagaeity enough to discover"
To this we reply that we think no one could
for moment pretend that there is the least
vlrtue in such an abstinence, but who can
deny that it is much to the credit of any one
to prove, by hiring the individuals engaged
not TO drink ardent spirit during the raising
of building, that there is no necessity for
their use on such occasions. This the gen.
deman, at whom the Galaxy has aimed its
scurrilous shaft, has proved and not only
this, but he has shown also that there is
much less danger of accident, at such times,
when no Intoxicating liquors are used, for
the whole work was completed without in
jury to any one an incident somewhat re-
markable when it is considered how manv
have been killed in assisting to put up the
frames of such large buildings. This is the
light IN which we view the late transaction
at Bolton. We did not consider the absti-
nence OF the workmen employed in the rais-
ing as particular evidence of their temper
ance. We know none Of the men who
are engaged in the erection of the meeting
house, nor are we in the least acquainted
with the general habits of any of them. We
simply stated the fact that they raised the
Westinghouse Oh which they are engaged
without using ardent spirits. This we did
simply to correct an opinion which is too pre-.
yalent that rum is indispensable on such oc.
casions. No candid reader of our remark,
would put any other construction upon them
The Galaxy continues:--
We have also been informed, from source en-
titled to the fullest credit, that il the worlmen
whe were thus hired to abstain from ardent spirit.

TAKE CARE, HUSBANDS. 1t has long
been the custom for men who chance to be
caught in the matrimonial moose with viz
en- or spendthrift, to advertise her when
she leaves his bed and board; but the tables
are turning, as the following advertisement
will show, and it behooves husbands to be
very careful not to provoke their wives to
leave them; and, especially, to see that they
do. not go off mad enough to write poetry,
lest they share the fate of poor Bewamin
Hobart. Wecopy the annexed advertise
ment from Saturdays Centinel:--

EDITORIAL VANITY. We profess not t.
be more sensitive than our neighbours, MOI
to have more than common degree of thai
human frailty switch flesh is heir to, "uani.
ty; but we do most honestly, and we think
laudably, desire that the crude effusions Of
our editorial brains should be passed to oul
credit when copied into other journals, that
we may not be robbed of our mite of fame
which we are conscious is but drop in the
great ocean of the present day, by our arti-
cles being incorporated under the editorial
head of, or attributed to, other newspapers.
But it is worse than all to deprive us of our
beautiful location. At one time we find our
selves far in Ohio State, anon in the peace
full community of the Quakers, and then in
the ancient town of witchcraft and mill-dam
memory. Is it not known that there is in
existence such place as Lancaster, Massa-
chusetts, reposing in the "sweet valley of
the Nashaway," surrounded by hills slum-
bering in native beauty? or is it that our
city brethren are unwilling to acknowledge
that any thing originating in country pa
per is worth reprinting ? We are as yet in
infancy. and, like the gentle twig just
springing from the parent seed, feel the loss
of every leaf; not like the sturdy tree, a
branch torn from which would be imper-
ceptible in the abundance of its remaining
foliage. With Shakespeare and all printers
we say "who steals our purse steals trash I;
but he that 6lches" our paragraphs "robs
us of that which not enriches him but makes
uspoor indeed:" therefore we most respect
fully request that henceforth if any one
should (which is barely possible) compliment
as or themselves by copying articles from
our paper, they will give US here habita-
ton; name however vain the idea) we
will endeavour to gain for ourselves.

THE SEASON. The following, copied from
a late st. Andrews Herald, is one among
many evidences that the same degree of wet
and unpropitious weather for the farmer, has
been experienced in almost every part of
North America. In our own vicinity, we
are inclined to think, the inconvenience suf
fered on account of the weather has been
much less than in many other parts of the
country -
The Hay-harvest has commenced in this county,
but under most unauspicious aspects. For several
weeks past we have, with few days fintermission,
been enveloped in fog, with frequent heavy rains.
Nearly every day, last week. we have had heavy
peals of thunder and torrents of rain The wind has
constantly been southerly. We have no recollection
ofsuch season, and are apprehensiye the hay cut

WARREN BRIDGE. The application ofthe
|proprietors of Charles River Bridge for an
injunction prohibiting the building of the
Warren Bridge, has been negatived by the
Supreme Court. The Court ordered "that
the motion for an injunction be overruled,
and that the bill stand for answer according
to the rules of court in that behalf at the
next term" So that the main question:
lie. the question of the constitutionalty of
the law granting an act of Incorporation to
the proprietors of Warren Bridge-remains
undecided. The refusal to grant the injunc-
ton is no evidence, as some have said, that
the Court incline to the opinion that the law
is constitutional. The opinion of the Court
as to temporary injunction does not involve
the main question.

Honest LAWYER. The following ad-
vertisement is from Tennessee newspaper.
We should like to know whether the adver-

but wonder that his remarkable candour and
honesty did not prompt him to give the in

DRY practice offers his professional services to the

fession, and not oyermuch of that.''
