FEeALE DocToRs.-We notice the fact
Of many females entering into. and gra.
duating at. tie various medical institu-
tions IN this country; and the time appears
not far distant. when women, more than
before, will devote their attention 10 the
healing art. "In Queen Christmas time"
relates the historian Fryxwe'l. "ihe duties
Of physicians were mostly performed bv
wise women. and there were. in ihose
days, very few sick in the country" Wo-

kindly Offices OF the sick room; her gentle

same in vain. Miss Benton most readily
consented, so far as she was concerned,
but in,m atcd thai she had father who
had manifested some degree Of interest in
her welfare, and might want to be eor-
suited in the matter. She laid the propo-
sal before the old gentleman. He object.
ed to the proposition in toto. "His daugh-
ter educated for Prince, was not going
to marry a Corporal" Fremont was
forbidden TO enter his domicil, and Miss
Benton was put under guard. "Old
Tom had over acted the matter. He
did not then know the young lieutenant.
His daughter. too, took that occasion to
show her Benton, and as '.Old Tom had
stuck to the "Expungng Resolutions"
she was bound to stick TO her young low

anxious father knew Of his once devoted
daughter. she had escaped her keepers,

following law:
"If man offers 10 marry a woman, or prom
ises 10 do il. he is not bound TO comply with il,
nnIess she agrees to accept him. Ii takes tw o
to make marriage contract as well as any 9TH

she becomes impatient, she cannot drag him iu-
10 court and demand damages. unless she has
