On my way up here 10 the village Of
Harrison, where indife this random
scroll. | met with several Of your patrons
who said TO me, where base you been
keeping yourself? Why don't you let us
hear from you in the Am<rican?" an

of the "Connecticut Mutual aud The
Globe Life losorapce" Companies, and
have been busy trying to provide for tho
widows and orphans Of coming years.
The one all cash. and the other half note,
and either worthy Of the highest conf
dence Of the iDsuring world. Life In-
surance is rapidly becoming the great
system Of family economy, rs is and has
been demonstrated in many instances in
the history Of many families. The case
Of Judge Mcdowell, of Kansas, is illastra-
tive of the exceeding goodsss Of the

ney. 1t is certainly true that every man
who can 90 so. ought to keep a life To-
surance on his life, as steep as he is able
to pay for. II is wise, q safe investment,
and such as every man ought 10 seek af-
ter who has true regard for those who

But must not forget my,elf an not
advertising nv business; that speaks al
ways for itself have, 10 some Of my
letters, made some allusion to my friend
DR. james Thompson Of this place, both
as ply stefan and surgeon. The doctor
for nearly year has been engaged in the
drug business in this village, but learn
that he has sold out his interest 10 Mr..
Jas. II. Roberts, his partner, who in every
respect is worthy of the confidence aud
patronage Of the public. and of the par
ticular regards of all single ladies, as he
has nobody TO care for him in q connubial
way, as yet Roterts is clever, good
looking young man, and every way wor-
thy Of the smiles Of even any Of our fair,
no matter how rich or how pretty. Dr..
Thompson, who is one OF the best read
and most intelligent physicians Of the
White Water Valley, thinks strongly of
devoting his entire attention 10 the spe-
cialties Of 1.-THE eye aud ear" For num-
Der Of months he has been attending the
private clinic Of Drs Il & A. d Williams,
Of Cincinnati on the above spccislties.
There il no doubt that the suffering world
would be greatly benefited IL more OF our
physicians would give themselves TO these
aud other medical specalties.

Tn. mass corgh medicine IS doing wonders
in this community. Ii is good remedy
for coughs aud colds Of every character.
DIR. Clark has not yet left us, rs many
feared he would. and his numerous friends
here hope he may live and die among
them. DIR. Clsrk is one of that sort OF
men which the people love, and his emf
nent abilities rs physician make him an
inestimable member of society, both NJ n
physician aud as man. His noble wife
has no superior among women.
am right glad 10 say that the ministry
Of this village are living in the line Of
their duties. and the quiet aud peace Of
the community are evidence Of the faith
fulness of their labors.
Ia few days you may. Mr.. Editor. hear
