MY REASONS.

Knowing of the many prejudices existing In the
public mind as we'll as in the mind of the "recu-
lar Physician against specialists or travelling
physicians, feel that fcw explanatory words
in regard to my position, and the circumstances
which Induce me to Gravel" are duo to the pub
lie AS well as to myself. Before making engage
ments to visit diferents points, in Vermont and
vicinity, I was almost daily in receipt of letters
from parties in the country who, though anxious
to consult me- avowed their utter inability to come
to Burlington for that purpose and being anxious
to meet the wishes of those applicants, but con-
WINGED Of the uselessness and danger Of prescribe
ing without previous personal examination,
finally determined on making regular visits to as
many towns in Vermont and vicinity ms my time
would admit Of and thus afford such persons an
opportunity of consulting me-.
From the commencement of my professional ca
reer, my time and attention has been exclusively
devoted to the study and investigation ofdiseases
Of the NASAL CAVITY, THROAT, LUNGS and
CHEST to affections of the EYE and EAR, and
arrangements Of the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Ny
speciality embraces the eradication of CONSUME
TON, CATrARH, THROAT DISEASES, AT
FECrIONS Of the VOCAL ORGANS, ASTHMA,
and all LARYNGIAL, BRONCHIAL and Pull
MONARY COMPLAINTS the removal of DEAF
NESS, DISCHARGES from the EAR, NOISES in
the HEAD, the restoration of DEFECTIVE
SIGHT, by medical and surgical means, and the
treatment FALL diseases leading to GENERAL
DEBILITY, or to the establishment of consump-
/ ton
In every case coming for examination, 4 can
did opinion will be given as to the probability Of
a cure, and case will be accepted for treatment
which docs not offer reasonable chance Of sue
cess
In opening permanent office in the TINE.
BrILplNG Burlington, for the cure of all chronic
diseases, where will be found in personal attend
ance m0st Of the time. am determined to d,
everything in my power in order to strengthen
the good opinion, which from my reputation ma,
he already entertained of me, and to exert my
self to the utmost in behalf of those who ma!
couddc their caser to M professional care
In conclusion, permit mo to assure the publ
that inyalid' coming UNI r my care may cxpec

HANcoCK.-EdHor Register: - Oar
little town is still plodding along in the
even tenor Of its way watching and wait
ing 70. something to turn up wherein she
can show her Importance, and there now
seems to be a prospect that ere long she
is to be a railroad town, as there is con
siderable talk by railroad capitalists OF
connecting the Rutland Il Burlington
road with the Vermont Central by a
branch running through the mountain
from the Rutland road to Stock bridge
and from thence to Rochester, Hancock
Granville, Warren &c., then turning of
to the Vermont Central. Many have
secuted the idea of a railroad ever pass
ing through Hancock, but such an event
is just as certain as are the mountains to
stand and the road will be built with as
little cost as any road in the state, the
grading through Rochester, Hancock and
Granville being literally nothing.
Our farmers are all grumblng about
the extreme rainy season which has
deferred many from finishing haying
there being now more than three hundred
tons to cut and much that has been cut
will not command five dollars per ton
Grain is also suffering terribly from the
damp weather. The recent heavy rains
have caused much trouble, and will cost
the town quite sum for repairs, but We
have great cause to be thankful that so
have been spared while our sister towr
(Roches;er) has been SO fearfully deluged
Mr.. Blodgett and some others having los
all they had. The farms 10 the ives

duced the speaker. Our Agricultural
editor took notes and will be heard from
on this subject next week. At this time
we will only say that the audience was
somewhat disappointed in the judges
speech. He certainly did not speak with
the earnestness and force and effectiveness
that he has formerly, in his campaign
addresses. There is also another point
in which we were personally disappointed.
Some Of his statements were apropos aud
legitimate as arguments, but his address
was weekend by sophistry and misapplica-
ton, if not Misrepresentation, As for
! instance, the whole reference to the Ger
man emigration, the sheer at Grants mill
itary career and the insinuation, unworthy
of any candid man, that Genral Grant
, was inpebted to Gen Rawlins for his sue
cess, the grouping of events in such "a
manner as to imply, what he did not dare
to state, that Pres. Grant vas responsible
! for the New York Custom House frauds.
His attemptto make cahital out Of Senator
Wilson's former connection with the
Knownothings was hardly commendable,
when he had no word of objection for the
Liberal candidate for Governor of YER
mont who was in like position,
There were others points of weakness
which will be noted next week. OF course
he glorifed the Sage Of Chapaqua, which
was certainly in better taste than the at
tempts to doprecate the valuable service
of the Republican nominee.

GRANv1LLr.-M. Editor The Re-
publicans this side of the mountain are
not all dead, fer they have not taken the
dose they might perhaps have taken if
Greeley had been nominated by the reg

the whole Of the Democratic party make
too bitter pill, and cannot be coated

We had quite romantic freak here with
bear a short time since. A man was
going home little before dark through
the woods and bear took after him, and
he sprang up small tree and the old
bear thought that she would follow the
fashion. She freed also. Soon cub
came along, and we had two bears and
one man all freed. When the man would
start down the tree, bruin would come
down too. The man then commenced
to shout, and made such a noise that the
bear gave up beaten without trying.
Vlelp was raised and they succeeded in
Wllirg the young bear.--A son Of
Nathan Carpenter was kicked by a horse
a short time since, which damaged his
upper jaw and mouth badly, but is now

death has been gaining the victory over
her. She wasted away to a complete

which her Saviour intended. Although
SO young, she died perfect little Christ

her short life, than some learn in fifty or

presents advantages such as no other As

although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and suni-.
cient to create large SURPRISES, out O:
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
q 6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society,
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe.
and that they do not demand such exces

other Company.
