MEETlNe OF THE DoCToRs.-On Tuesday
night last, according to previous announce
unent the Medical Societies of this city and
Covington, assembled at DR.. Tripler's Office,
in the Barracks. An essay on Parturition,
was read by DR.. Major, which elected no
small amount Of attention and interest. An
other essay on Puerperal Fever was pre-
sented and read by DR.. Thomas, of Coving-
ton, which was also well received. After
transacting other minor business, capital
supper was served up, consisting OF roast
turkey, oysters raw, fried, stewed, scolloped
and broiled, together with other su6stantlals
not necessary to particularize. This was
followed with a bounteous supply of Cham
pagne Sparkling Catawba, etc. The gath
| ering of the Doctors in this instance proved
pleasant one, and although they sometimes
disagree upon some speciality of disease to
| which the human body is liable, they were
| of one opinion respecting their reunion and
DR.. Tripler's hospitality. r5.I

i. ! 3 STREET CARs.-Some enterprising street
f railroad company has placed one car at the
. terminus of Lawrence-street in Cincinnati,
for the accommodation of the Newport
: ladies wishing to ride a square or two, for
which they-the ladies-are charged five
a cents. We do not wonder that the car is
! | not patronized because the company issue
v no tickets and the arrangement for stopping
the car and collecting the fare is not up with
O the present time, resembling the old omni-
: bus style more than a street car. If the
! company want to accommodate the New
portonians better accommodations must be
made. r. ..-
