TEN of medicine, and attended Lectures in one
OF the Old School Medical Colleges Of Philad-
elphia; but becoming convinced of the super
iority of the New or American Eclectic system,
he commenced its study, and attended two
courses of Lectures In the Reformed or An!e-
rican Eclectic Medical College of the Queen
City Of the West. This Institution, although
yet in its infancy has superior in tho Great West AMI
has already annually Students than the four other
Medical Colleges OF Cincinnati ooml nei. 1t sending

A POINT OF ORDER.-Oue of the men,
bers of the Lower House of New York re-
ioiced in the name of Bloss. He had the
honor of representing the county of Monroe,
and if his sagacity as legislator did not
win for him the respect of his associates, his
eccentricities often ministered to their en-
tertainment. One day, in the midst OF a
windy harraugue that had became intolera.
Bile for its length and emptiness, ''gassy
member from the metropolis stopped to take
a drink of water. Bloss sprang to his feet
and cried,
"Mr. Speaker, l call the gentleman from
New York to order J"
The whole Assembly were startled and
stilled the "member from new York stood
aghast, with the glass in his hand, while the
speaker said:
"The gentleman from Monroe will please
state his point of order"
To which Mr.. Bloss, with great gravity,
replied -a
ri submit, sir, that it is not in order fol
a windmill to 50 by water"
1t was a shot between wind and water
the verbose orator was confounded, and put
himself and his glass down together.
