WoNAS HER owy PHYsIcIAN.-"AnA Appeal to
the Medical Society of Rhode Island in behalf Of
Woman to be restored to her natural right as
Midwife, aRd elevated by Education to be the
Physician of her own sex, is a very small, but
very torcible and truthful pamphlet, just pub
Hshed at Newport RI We have no doubt of
the correctness OF its leading proposition that
Woman ought to be educated for the Medical
profession, and should especially be consulted and
trusted in all diseases peculiar to her own consti-
tuition But we DO not perceive that there s any
obstacle in the way now. Only let one hundred
capable, energetic, fearless women resolve to be-
come Doctors OF Medicine, and they will encoun-
ter no greater obstacles than so many yoqhg men
would They might obtain instruction IN any Oh
our present Medical Colleges by Simply uniting
in the demand for IT, So far as was proper, they
might attend the same lectures with the male
students and be instructed as separate class
on peculiar topics In short, it is only necessary
for some women to seek Medical instruction, and
for the sex generally realize that they ought to
preler women as Medical attendants and the re-
form is secured

QUERY-We have been requested by sew
eral democrats to enquire of the Republican
for the names of the individuals who wrote
those letters in favor of James Myers. which
appear at the head of the leading column yes
terday. These same men intimated to us that
they were manufactured for the occasion in the
Office.
The above we clip from the Toledo Blade of
Wednesday last. The letters in question are
decidedly rich, and then such sympathy for
the man that could not get the nomination for
Board of Public Works. We wouldn't be
much afraid to go a bottle of "cronk" on the
author of the York letter. Mr. Blade don't
you think you hear WAIE(s) )ing sound?
Wonder, if the York township letter pub
lished in the Democrat sometime since, came
from the same source.

re- Do not fail to read Judge Johnston's
views on the xexed question of Slavery in the
new Territories. We think his arguments are
to the point, convincing, and easily to be un-
derstood.
The voters of this county win soon have an
of hearing from his own mouth
upon all the various topics which now agi-
itats the minds of the people. Due notice
will be given when be will be in our vicinity.
Judge Johnston has put on the harness, and
will not put it off till the fall election and be-
fore that time it is bis purpose to address the
citizens of every county in the State
While at Cleveland he was the guest Of
Judge Wood the Democratic candidate for
Governor; at which time he politely invited
Judge Wood to take seat in his buggy and
stump the Reserve in company. The Judge
would hardly venture on such tour.

@ There have been various flying rumors
circulating in our community during the last
few days, that the cholera had broken out
in Sandusky city and Toledo. We feel war
rented in saying they are rnnors, only; and
that not case of cholera has happened in Ell
ther of the above places; there is also good
reason to believe that il will not appear in the
northern part of the State. 1t is fast on the
decrease in the southern cities. We believe
that not case of cholera has been known in
the northern part of the State this season

gg The engineers, employed to survey
the Rail Road route from Wellington to Tole-
DO, passed through this place on Friday oflass
gsek. They represent the route, as being
very favorable, much more so than was ex-
pected. The greatest obstacle is the sandus-
ky valley, but this was found to be more prac-
tica6le than was at first supposed. The route
surveyed runs south of the Western Reserve
and Maumee Road and crosses the sandusky
at Morgan & Downs mill dam. They are now
some distance west Of US, on their way to To

We are told that Rev, Mr. Smith during
his discourse on the death of Gen. Taylor, last
Sabbath evening, remarked that he saw in the

very aged was older than the Declaration Of

acquainted with all the Presidents of the ma
ton, all but one of whom now sleep in death.

The last Moments of the President.

can says:
Washington, July 9.
The President was sensible of his critical
condition this morning, and when he was
spoken to on the subject, he said he was pre-
pared to die, if it be Gods will; he had moth
ing to reproach his conscience with in the
discharge ofpublic or private obligations. He
did not doubt that he might have erred, but
felt that he had not done so Intentionally.
Throughout the day: whenever he was
awake be was composed, and perfectly resign
cd tothe result which he foresaw was newt
able; and while he allowed that it was pain
full to be separated from friends,he at the same
time expressed his entire readiness to obey
the DEGREES of Providence. His dying hours
exhibited the same calm composure which he
had evinced during the perils of the battle
field, and impressed those who were near him
with forcible conviction of his eminent merits
as hero and Christian.
