among which was the following -
Restored, That this organization as

Female Physicians.

We, last week, noticed the receipt of
the Announcement Of the Pennsylvania
Female Medical College, located in
Philadelphia, for the current year. We
had intended at the time to make some
more extended remarks in relation to
that matter, but lack of space and op-
portunity prevented; We will, there
fore, embrace the present to say few
words for we think the subject one Of
great importance as connected with the
welfare and happiness of humanity.
If we shall be able to throw out few
crude hints which may have the effect of
drawing the attention Of the reader to
that-(in our opinion very proper
and important field Of female labor, our
attempt will not entirely fail of it object.
The importance Of more extended
diffusion of useful knowledge among fe-
males is getting to be pretty strongly
impressed upon the public mind. There
seems TO be no good reason why female
education should be wholly confined to
accomplishments to the entire neglect Of
of the useful. There have been and
still are many serious obstacles in the
way of giving females the requisite
knowledge of anatomy and medicine tc
qualify them for medical practitioners
These have, in great measure, grown
out of the prejudices of society and the
want of suitable institutions for their in
struction. But prejudice is gradually
giving away before the light of reason,
and colleges are being opened where fo-
males can enjoy similar advantages to
those afforded the opposite sex in the
requirement of medical knowledge.
That the male physician will or nceC
be supplanted by the female, of course
is not the question as females are no
so well adapted to the tolls and sever
labors of the country physician, NOR
particularly, whose duties call him fort
at all seasons. But she may very pro
perly become co-worker-a help NEE
for him in very many Of the "ills tha
flesh is heir to-" Indeed, in very man
cases common propriety would seem t
demand that the medical attcndan
should be Of the gentler sex. Does an
one ever think Of questioning the ftnes
Of women for nurses No; by he
natural gentlcness and tenderness she
eminently qualified for the station
nurse. The same qualifications, to
great degree, are requisite in the phys
clan. There could te nothing more
accordance with the fitness of things tina
for nurses TO receive medical eclucatic
which shall warrant them in giving az

To the Editors of the Literary Echo -

Being stranger in your pleasant
village, l have learned that very many
are suffering from the ravagcs of Hoop
ing Cough. AS it is the part of philan-
thropy to assuagc as much as possible
the afflictions of Humanity, by publish
ing the following simple recipe, you will
furnish to many ofyour readers remedy
for the above disease, second to none in
our country.
Take two spoonsful of powdered coch-
meal to two ounce vial, of equal parts
of alcohol and water well sweetened with
loaf sugar. Shake thoroughly and it
will be ready for use.
Dose, from a half to whole teaspoon
full, three times day on an empty
stomach, the last time just before rctir-
ing at night {; oftener in extreme cases.
For infants the dose may be diluted at
pleasure with sweetened water.

HGy" On Tuesday morning last, Leon
ards Hotel was discovered to be on fire
in the upper story. The alarm was
given, and the two engines in the village
were promptly on the spot and the fire
was extinguished. The roof and upper
story of the building were considerably
burned. The building was insured.
Mr. Leonard had no insurance, and will
be sufferer to considerable extent by
the fire and water. Messrs. G. w. 8,
n. Marston, the halter and shoemaker,
and Mr.. +. G.. Barnes, the news agent,
will suffer some loss by the water and
removal of their things. The fire was
caused, I'VE understand, by some children
who were at play in the garret.
There is one circumstance highly
creditablc to the firemen of this village,
which perhaps it would not be amiss to
mention in this connection. Some two
years since the young men belonging to
Engine No. 2, after considerable effort,
succeeded in raising sufficient sum
among the citizens to furnish them a
Uniform. They then concluded to ex-
pend the money in purchasing more
hose, and paid for their uniform out of
their own pockets. Had they not had
this hose they would not have been able
to reach the fire from the river Does
not this circumstance show the necessity
of being prepared for such emergencies

A scene of wretchedness was witness
ed IN this village last week, which we
trust may not often occur in this COM
munity. A gentleman entered miser-
able abode where lay dead child, and
the parents a<el third person were all
A" dead drunk" upon the floor. The un-
fortunate child was born deaf and dumb,
and if it did not die for want of proper
care, it is known that it was often left
entire days to take care of itself, while
the unfortunate parents were stepped in
liquor Is there not need of missiona-
ries in places less remote than foreign
lands p WOOnSOcket Patriot.
pe5~ Missionaries, forsooth 1t is
all very well to talk of missionaries for
the reformation of these crimes, or as a
remedy in such cases as the above, but
there is no kind of missionary labor that
will touch such cases, but the mission of
laying hold of just such men as the one
who furnished the liquor to these I" un-
fortunate parents" with the strong arm
of the Prohibitory Law. There is no
man in this section of country that sells
intoxicating liquors, at this late day, in
ignorance Of the iniquity of the traffic
A runseller can now be classed with
none other than those whose hearts
are fully set in them to do evil" in
spite Of all the light they can possibly
have.

vice also; thus combining the nurse and
physician. They would, probably, lack
the firmness and severity Of disposition
necessary to qualify them for surgery.
And an extensive practice, perhaps
would not accord we'll with the duties Of
wife and mother of large family. But
how much better qualified a woman
would be to assume the responsible sta
lion of wife and mother, were she versed
in physiology and the laws of health,
than all the external accomplishments,
which are now considered so indispensa-
bic to the well-educated female, can
make her. Music, painting, and the
languages are very well in their proper
places. But while these things are at
tended to the more important matters
should not he neglected for no woman
can be happy, or qualified to make her
family 50, if she be Ignorant of the laws
of health, though she may be ne YER so
accomplished.
The fact of the establishment of two
medical colleges for the benefit Of fc-
males in Philadelphia for there is ono
other similar institution in that city,
is strong evidence that a healthy state Of
public opinion, on this subject, is gain,
ing ground.
The Faculty Of the Pennsylvania Fe-
male Medical College is composed oi
some Of the most eminent med cal talent
and among the number is female M. ID
who acts as demonstrator of anatomy
and who is cmincntly qualified to i'm
part information on that important sub
ject. This institution rejects none o
the various medical systems, entirely
but endcavors to gather from each o
them that which science approves ant
which experience demonstrates to be
worthy Of attention.

all the facts and circumstances in the
case, and fair and manly presentation
of their claims to their employers. Vio-
lent measures should be dernier resort.
The right, if rightly presented, and
urged with an open, firm, and honora-
BILE persistence, will win the day in
peaceful victory.
We may work too little or we may
work too much /; either extreme will be
followed by disasters, though differing
in the kind, yet always resulting in i'm
becility and deterioration of the powers
of mind aud body. A just measure of
laboring time is the desideratum.
And if any think, as possibly they
may, that ten hours are two little, they
certainly cannot be so unreasonable as
to think that we oug ght to work fourteen
or even thirteen, which amount is in
some cases actually required. 1t is GER
tainly unnatural and wrong to work
through the day and part of the night,
leaving scarce time enough to wash,
dress, eat, and sleep, in decent and
healthy manner To reconcile existing
extremes no one ought to object to the
proposed compromise to "work while
the day lasts )" that is, to work from
sunrise to sunset, which, after deducting
an hour for dinner and incoming, would
leave an average, for the year, of eleven
hours per day. Every laborer would
be justified, at least among the just, by
adopting as his general motto, this, the
night cometh, when no man can work D
When God in nature commands silence,
let the hum of human toll be hushed.
Let the stillness'and solemnity of night
be sacredly given TO study, meditation
and repose. Nothing is gained by over
reaching our natures through excessive
labor; on the contrary much is lost
the capitalist and employer, upon long
run, will lose the services Of intelligent
and efficient laborers, and in the poor
quality of remaining labor, lose part Of
the fruits of his capital /; and the laborel
by overdrawing his physical system
ennervates both body and mind, Injuries
the community, especially his own family
and hastens the day of his dissolution.
This problem of labor and time ough
to be thoroughly discussed. Let every
man carefully consider it and give
free utterance to his convictions. Thu
by mental study and intcrchanging o
thoughts we may correct each other
views and arrive at the golden mean.

and has not been afflicted with any such
symptoms since. The above is taken from

Watch Hill.

At Captain Nash's-Thursday night
We all were gathered round,
When suddenly curious wight
Appeared upon the ground,
Who looked to us about half tight,
And Just about half drowned.
He wore upon his head hat
Sublime in its repose,
And round his neck thin cravat,
And glasses on his nose,
And patent feathers on his feet
That pinchcd his lengthy toes.
From Westerly he hailed, and told
The ladies merry and fair,
That there he was a merchant bold,
Of cakes and crockery ware
That very morning he had sold
Four sticks of candy there
When very gallantly he bowed,
And wished to let us know
He "never yet had seen a crowd
In which he couldn't CO."
And that by all Rhode Island "gals"
He was reckoned quite beau.
But Watch Hill ladies seemed to think
The beau was quite fiat,
And winked and laughed behind his back
And stole his yellow hat,
And pulled his hair, and asked the price
Of that new check cravat.
One lady begged to know of him
The PAIGE of summer squash -
Just then he dropped his handkerchief
And fourteen cents in cash -
Perhaps he didn't hear the girl
Perhaps she fixed his hash!
Then to the alley all adjourned
And then the ladies bowlcd,
And kept him setting up the pins,
And shouted as they rolled
And sent the balls against his shins--
Lord wasn't the fellow sold
At length our hero gave it up,
So give up my song;
But when he left he loud declared
We were first-ratc throng,
And really hoped to see us all
At Westerly, ere long.
