A correspondent of the Newbern Progress con-
graduates the public the passage of law by the
late Legislature appointing Board of Medical Examn-
ers, before whom persons wishing to practice medicine
shall stand an examination in the that law
yers are now required to do in order obtain license
The writer thinks that the passage of this law is of
Importance to the people of the State than any
other of the Legislature, for the health and lives of
every man, and child depends, a certain ex-
tent, having competent physicians. In considera-
ton of this benefcent Act and in order to recprocate
TO the public for the confidence placed in the medical
profession by the Legislature, the correspondent pro-
poses that County Medical Societies be formed and that
the members attend the inmates of the County Poor
Houses gratis only requiring the county to pay for the
medicines used, and suggests that good stock of gen.
ulne medicines be kept in the premises each
physician compromising his own prescriptions. By a
Course of this kind says the writer the members of

THE SEvENTEEN-YEAR LocUsTs.-Two weeks
ago we published the communication OF Dr. e. b.
Smith, of Baltimore, stating that the seventeen
year Locusts would visit portions of Virginia and
North Carolina this year. We see that Peters
burg correspondent of the National Intelligencer
expresses the opinion that DIR. Smith is mistaken
about the visit of locusts this year;-he says they
appeared in 1909, 1926 and 1913, consequently
he thinks they will not appear again till 1860
1t will be remembered that in the northwestern
States last year, wherever the locusts appeared,
whole crops were destroyed by them in very short
