SUPPER OF THE MEMBERS OF THE STATE
supper Of the members Of the State Medical
Society, was given at the LIE Claire House
on Thursday evening. At nine O'Clock. the
members left Wesley Chapel, and pro-
ceeded to the parlors of the LIE Claire
House, where an hour or so was spent In
social conversation. when they proceeded
to the spacious dining hall, where the tables
fairly groaned under the good things which
were there provided by mine host. Mr..
Magill The bill Of fare was extensive, but
We noticed with pleasure that the majority
of those present succeeded in going through
the greater part of it in style that is not
often superseded in any society. The supper
was most excellent. and just as we had
nearly finished discussing liberal pro rata.
We imagined we heard an unfamiliar noise
something like the concussion produced
when any substance cork, for instance-
leaves a given point with whiz and strikes
the ceiling above. Whether We heard
Alright or not. We leave others to decide
but we are sure that peering through small
steEamed glasses - though something of an
extraordinary character was to be seen, was
the next thing we noticed after hearing the
aforesaid noise or noises.
And soon there was call for toasts. The
President, DR.. Rauch, was called on to sd-
dress the audience, which he declined to do
just then, and gave satisfactory reasons for
not doing so. Be it known, however, that
subsequently, he addressed his fellow disci-
Piles in very able and happy msnuer. DR..
r. is Q man Of genius.
Prof Hughes also gave sound reasons why
it would not be polite to make . speech
when first called upon; he had other matters
Of an absorbing nature to attend to. But
the worthy professor did speak before he
left the table, and in very interesting man.
nsr. He expressed strong hopes in refer
snce to the Keokuk Medical School, of
which he has taken the lead. We trust
that Institution will flourish.
DR.. McGugen of Burlington, addressed
the Assembly in very acceptable manner,
with reference to his early practice in Iowa.
He had been in this city when there was
scarcely habitation, and had since been
IN ardent and untiring laborer in the field
Of physic.
