a Mr.. EAGLE: Suppose you ''move in
Il graceful circles DER our infant town.
% alight on the beautiful hill our gener-
4 Gus town company have set apart for
o the seminary to be built upon, fold
q your gorgeous wings awhile, and let
& me show you the most lovely panorama
4 Of hill and dale, river and rivulcts, for
r ests and farms, your proud and pene-
I trating eye ever gazed on. Meanwhile
q let us bethink ourselves that we are
q sober men and talk awhile of coming
! years, when others fresh as We are now,
shall strut upon the stage that we have
left. 1t will need no scer's glance to
forecast the physical richness and gram
deur Of this romantic eden, when fruit
ed orchards, waving grainficlds, we'll
fenced meadows and homes Of sweet
content, cover the varicgated landscape;
but wcighticr inquiry comes to us:
What will be the intellectual, social,
moral status, Of this fair and favored
part of our glorious state, i'm the next
decade? What kind of men are already
at work on the foundations of So
ciety! What influences are poisoning
or vitalizing our body polite? With
out doubt the immortal bard of Avon,
in the text at the head of this letter,
had his prophetic eye on this embryo
city and its men from whence and of
whom we write, and we propose to
chalk out the outline of the place and
those i'll it, and then go out and gather
up note or two from each of the neigh
boring towns Of this fair county. And
if, We bird of America, the sensitive
ears Of your many discriminating read
ers, detect one strain Of discord, or
sound one minor key, please remind
them that every skilful organist throws
in note of discord of necessity, when
he desires his closing effort to have
final crowning effect, and that all the
music of nature, the lowing of herds,
the cry of human sorrow, and the song
of nearly every bird, are attuned to the
minor key. We shall be just and spare
not, omiting not even the slurs and for
tissimos.
OF physicians we have but two. 1t
is SO alarmingly healthy here that pills
and paragoric are little needed. Our
DIR. Maggard is yonng practitioner of
much promise. A well-rcad physician
of the old school, a christian gentleman
whose principles, habits and example
are sound on temperance and other
leading qualities. Liberal i'm charges
and charities, kind and conciliatory in
his bearing, he is likely to impress So
cicty favOrably, through life Of such
Is kind degree of usefulness, as scarcely
any but good physician can attain to-
Then only DIR. Austin is left to rattle
the pestlc and Mortar. lie is good
naturcd, perira. Tie, c-l...., III, retir-
ed on his laurcls, whose bittcrs say to
ague chills ''begone foul ficnds, to dire
damnation CO." and if anybody, espe-
cially sickly saiuts, get said bitters
from the wrong bottle it is not the good
doctors fault, though possibly their
pedestriOnic misfortune. Very few
towns can present better druggist or
physician.
How great has been the change in
the past few years in the religious
views, as well as the style of practice
of the medical fraternity. The one has I
doubtless arisen from a better and
broader course of cducation, producing !
a profound conviction that true science \
not only comedies with, but confirms G
the dogmas of christianity and the rec 4
ords of the bible, and the change in the !
methods of treatment has grown part
y from the fact that the same class of
diseases requires different mode of
now from that which was ;,
proper in formeryears, and partly from \
'eing compelled by irrcgulars to admit Ii
hat quality, rather than quantity of $
