GONE FROM OUR GAzE.-Last Mon
day large procession of la lies and
gentlemen went to the depot to bid
farewell to the families OF Dr. j. p.
Tate and John Barrows, who left for
California, overland, at that time. Mr..
Barrows goes to California to take up
his residence, while DR.. Tate and fam
ily will visit their friends in the Itas-
tern States. The Doctor will take his
daughter, Laura, to Cincinnati, tocon
suit with eminent occulists in regard to
the possibility of restoring her falling
sight In common with hosts of friends
we most earnestly hope that success
will crown their efforts and that the
gentle and patient girl may return
to her Valley home with her nov
almost sightless orbs fully restored.
ABon1e1NA1 GRATITUDE.-Here's al
item which fully illustrates the.nobilit.
of the red man of the forest: DIR. Blan
chard, of this city, has been for SOM
time past treating an Indian for sor
eyes-gratiuitousIy, of course; and ha
/
effected a complete cure. A day o
two ago he made the last application
his medicines to the optics of the nobl
Lo, and stepped out of the office, leaV
ing the Indian alone. Shortly after tn
Indian went out also, and carried wit
him q valuable 1hagnifying glass be
longing to the Doctor. Now we woul
like to see anybody undertake to St
maudlin and sentimental over the poo
Los in presence of Doctor B.!
