[From the Democratic &taadard, Jan. 81. 1861
GLAD TO HEAR Ir.-Fo several months past
DR.. j. II. Josselyn for the last six years so well
known the Resident Physician of the Electro
p,thic Institute, Gi5 Washington street. San
francisco, has contemplated retiring from his po-
sition for the purpose oil accepting the position
as Visiting Physician in one of the largo hospi-
tails in his native State, Massachusetts. The mat
ter becoming known to a number Of scientific
gentlemen OF San Francisco, who feeling that
great loss would occur to the community by the
withdrawal Of physician Of such scientific at
tainments as DR.. Josselyn, a meeting was called
at which resolutions highly laudatory of the
Doctors abilities were passed and q committee of
gentlemen appointed to wait upon him. present
the resolutions. and urge him TO give up his in
tcntion Of leaving the State, and continue in his
present position. The arguments Of the commit;
tee facilitated by certain pccuniary propositions,
made by the directors Of the Institute, have in
duccd the Doctor to retain his position Resi-
dent Physician. We announce the success of the
negotiations with satisfaction, as it would have
been difficult for the numerous patients that
heretofore relied on the Doctor for scientific and
successful treatment to have found another physi-
elan capable OF filing his place.

A HAPPY DARKEY.-Some scribbling
chap for city sheet, with a common sense
that we rarely meet, bis dread Of the
"sboulder.straps" forgets, and slauders one Of
the Bureaus pets:
"A negro sat on the curbstone bare: the
LIGHT Of his grinders showed freedom from
care: hia hat was brimless and full Of holes,
his shoes near minus uppers and soes:
while his coat, pants and vest into fragments
were blown, and excepting the collar, his
shirt was all gone. TO any passing, twas
easy to see, this darkywas happy as happy
could be: although wanting food, he seemed
not to feel it, but patiently wai'ed chance
TO steal it.,No master to hector him now, like
Turk, no mistress to hurry him up to his
work; no handling Of plow, hoe, shovel aud
spade, and nothing to do but sit back in
the shade-and s,arve to death.
