A Country Doctor.

The Knickerbocker does up yarn in
a superior manner. There is more truth
than poetry in the following sketch
from the experience of country doc
tor-a fact that more than one of that
badly treated and worse paid class Of
individuals would be willing to verify on
oath:
The poor doctor is called from his bed
on stormy night with the stirring sum-
mons
Doctor, want you to come right

mum for paregoriky."

"Do'no-a great deal. Think be
won't get over it,
The Doctor pushes on through the
storm, with divers mishaps on the way,
and at length arrives at the house of the
poisoned patient. He finds it all closed,
not light to be seen.
He knocks at tie door, but no answer.
He knocks furiously, aud at last a
nightcap appears at the chamber win
dow, and a woman's voice calls out
"Who's there ?"
"The Doctor to be sure. You sent
| for him."
ooh, it's no matter, doctor. Ephraim
is better. We all got little skeered,
kinder. Gin him laudnum, and he slept
kinder sound, but he's walked up now"
"How much laudanum did he swal-
low ?"
"Only two drops; faint hurt him
none. Wonderful bad storm tonight"
The doctor turns away, buttoning up
his overcoat under his throat, to seek
home again, and tries to whistle away
modification and anger, when a voice
calls:
"Doctor! Doctor 70

Iowa City, March 3Oth, 1860.

Ar DETROIT, on Thursday last, a
young woman Of pretty and respect
able appearance, made application be-
fore Justice Purdy, for legal process to
secure the detention of her lover, who,
she had reason to suspect, was about to
desert her, and forfeit many fair prom
ise,, whose fulfillment she considered
smiuently necessary to her comfort and
good standing. He was brought up by
an officer, aud the pair were confronted
in the hope that their own inclinations
would devise a remedy for criminal
prosecution-a hope which was not dis
appointed, for, after little confab in the
corner, during which she bit the hem OF
her handkerchief, end brushed away
frequent tears from pair of pretty and
imploriug eyes, he came forward and
said he was ready and willing to marry.
The pair soon departed in the happiest
state Of mind imaginable, fully con-
WINGED that there was to be no more
trouble on this mundane sphere.

Gov. Baker did not offer his substitute to
he voted upon and to be made law by
the Legislature, a. was the intention Of
the movers of the original bill, but with
the proviso that the Auditor Of State
should not issue warrants on the Treas

This the Opposition could not stand
They read the doom OF their Asylum
Extravaganza in that provision. They
would undoubtedly have voted the Hun

not that the people we're to pass upon 1t.
The people would never have voted
to appropriate any such sum. They are
already satisfied that their taxes are too
heavy. Another reason the Governor
rave for his substitute was that in case
the people voted for the appropriation It
would be Constitutional, otherwise it
would not be-the Constitutional limit
already having been oyerstepped by the
Republican Legislature.
