Quite controversy has sprung up in Hartford, growing out of the expulsion of Dr. Curtiss from the State Medical Society, for holding profession al consultation with homeopathists. In card
 Dr. Curtiss says that he is not believer in the doc
 Urine of Hahneman. but has frequently derived use
 full hints from practitioners other than of his own faith Dr. Beresford. also eminent hyscian of Hartford is out in a card, defining his position which is. that by the rules of the State Socie-
 ty "no physician surgeon in regular standing
 is authorized to meet in consultation with irregular practitioners, under any circumstances '-and fur ther, that unless the patient would dismiss the said | ssirregular" he would not prescribe for him &c. Now Dr. B. is highly respected gentleman, and an experienced physician-but really cannot agree with him in such sentiment The annoyances of quacks. are always provoking and they appear in all professions and always will, probably but that does not justify refusal to administer to their dupes-cspecally when life is at stake. man has limb to be amputated, and quack surgeon advi- ses that it be done with hand-saw a regular is sent for who, mortified at the hararous sngges- tion refuses to his instruments until the quack is driven from the house, and finally leaves the man to die But what has he to do with the whims of any other practitioner his duty is to give his opinion. and if that is rejected. he may properly leave; if approved, proceed to business. Endeav- bring to compel sick person to fight the battles ot the Faculty against heterodcxy. will never do-and cannot be justified. Every tub must stand on it's own bottom" and "every tree is known by its fruits" Persecution makes many converts.-Rcg.

THE ST.

Shaw is twice that age She is poor and he is worth over million. Ac cordng to her testimony and that of her sister, he was very attentive during the courtshp and as ten der such tough old fellow could be expected to be- He gave her numerous presents sent a piano to her house and requested her to employ teacher visited her frequently, and made formal engage. ment, fixing the time of marriage. When the time came he wanted it deferred till he should make some improvements in his house and grounds for the better accommodation of his wife, and when she went to his house at his request, to examine it. ac- cording to her account he attempted liberties with her which no virtuous woman could tolerate. She, however, orgaye the indiscretion, but he does not seem to have been pleased with her obstinate vir- tue, for he discontinued his visits, carried away his piano and broke off the match. His lawyers at tempted to impeach the virtue of Miss Carstang and the character of the house where she resided, but without effect and the jury to have considered the offense ar aggravated enc on the part of Shaw for they gave all the damage demanded by the dc. serted female. The defendant takes an appeal, and having plenty of money and no family, will afford rich picking to the lawyers. We hope Miss Cars tang will get her s1O0,0OO and afterwards a better husband than the rich old bachelor to spend it with her.
