Joynes, who has been officially connected with
the Medical College since 1855, resigned the
chair of physiology and medical Jurisprudence
on the LIST instant, having some time since re-

"PETERs' MUSICAL MONTHLY" comes to
us for the month of April, and an exami-
nation of its contents affords more than
ordinary pleasure. The opening ballad,
'Send the Little Ones Happy to Bed," is a
perfect gem, and should be sung in every
home circle adorned by beautiful child
hood. There are a great many r,usical
periodicals throughout the land which
catch only the floating rubbish of song,
and are only so much accumulation Of
vulgar type, but the above magazine is
worthy place at every fireside, and we
feel confident is destined to enjoy more
