SOUTHWESTERN OHIO MEDICAL As
ISOLATION.

/ This Association met at Lima. on
the 5th inst. We attended for the first
time since it, organization, and so we'll
pleased were we with those We met and
with al We saw and hear,l during the
transactions Of the Society, as we'll ss
the grand receptions given the mem
bers the evening previous, by the
legal profession, aud by the citizens
the evening after its adjourn nsnt, We
feel that passing notice Is but just,
and perhaps would interest many;
and nrst let us ailude 20 the generous
hospitality Of the medical brethren Of
Lima, who, laying aside superfiuOus
foPmalItieS, received Us with rpeD
hearts and hands and gave US n cor
dial welcome tO the meeting and the
attendant festivities. The transactions
Of the Society satisfied US that there
was no want OF talent or ability.
Papers were read upon medical topics
eyincing the deepest thought and care
full research, reports Of eases, both In
Surgery and Practice, exceedingly
novel AMI interesting.
Although not present the evening
previous at the reception given by the
legal profession Of Lima, yet all did
not hesitate TO pronounce it all that
could be desired in the way Of mutual
good feeling, happy interchange Of
thought and the civilities Oflife with
q most sumptuous entertainment.
But how shall We beat notice and do
justice IN the citizens for the grand
reception they gave us? u? Since our
language would be entirely inadequate
to the task we leave u for those better
/ qualified In the descriptive arts, and
content ourselves with = brief allusIOn
10 some Of its more prominent ehaFae-
teristics
( Repairing To city Hall about q
O'Clock, We found Il handsomely light
ed, a splendid band on the stage dis
cOurslng the most inspiring music,
the Hall full and still hlling with both
sexes Of all ages, youth and beauty,
the middle aged and sIlver-hslred, ell
mIngling PromIscuousIy in the most
happy greetings. Soon the entire as

teresting and imposing by the gener-
Osiiy and kindness Of the Masonic
Brethren who threw open their sDlen-
did Hall above on the next floor for
tine interest and better accommodation
Of the vast audience or eoncourse Oi
people. After this dancing commenced
which proceeded gaiiy indeed after 8
time; here let me mention a little oi
our own status during all these grand
festivities
We had felt diffident in convention,
although greatly enjoying its deliber-
ations. We were quite retiring and
but a spectator during the hilaritles Ol
the evening-sUeh is our nature. Bat
after time, did I say Supper wa
announced, this we regarded as a per
sonal appeal to our manhood, and
springing 10 our feet made our way
With the dexterIty Of BOY Of sixteer
to the Lima House and finding tb'
board spread with all klods Of rIet
Favored viands, heFs We 5000 con
WINGED our comrades that our talent ID
some respects was giant Ike, aud tha
In such discussion our resources ver'
next 70 iueKhaustible.
