Oldest members OF the society, having gradu-
ated at the University of Maryland IN 1925.
He Immediately commenced the practice Of his
profession in his native town, and was indefa-
tigable and untiring in his. devotion to his pro-
fessional duties, never refusing TO call at any
and all hours. He soon called around him a
host Of devoted friends and patients, and until
the last year or two, when his health began 20
fail, lsbored as industriously as In his more
pslmy and early career.
In all the relations Of life, both social and
professional, he was q heightened gentleman
of the old school, always treating the members
of the profession with that courtesy and re-
spect that made him q most desirable asso-
ciate in consultation.
ImoVe, Mr.. President, that a committee Of
three be appointed to draft resolutions of
respect TO the memory OF our deceased assO'
ciate.
DR.. Lewis Mackall, jr., seconded the mo-
ton, and paid an eloquent tribute to the vir-
tues of the deceased.

dress, when the motion OF DR.. Reilly was

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

HARRIET JACKSON TIRED OF LIFE.
Harriet Jackson, quite an intelligent-lo looking
colored woman, has for months past lived in
house No. 222 Temperance-han alley. In that
time she las enjoyed the companionship of
Thomas Henson, to whom she was all that
wife could be, although the rite of matrimony,
making the union binding in the sight Of God
and man, had never been solemnized between
them. Still this fact was considered q matter
of little Importance, and they had evidently
become sincere converts to the doctrine Of free
love as expounded by Vic. Woodruff and her
adherents, Life rolled along smooth enough
until about noon yesterday, when a change
came DER the scene Of their domestic peace.
Harriet and Thomas, by some hocuspocus, got
entangled in q word battle, and while the fight
was hottest she expressed herself as tired Of
both him and life, and DESTROYS of getting rid
of them. Thereupon she laid violent hands
upon q small bottle containing laudanum, and
ere the man could interfere had swallowed
nearly the entire contents. Sergeant Acton, IN
patrolling bis precinct, was informed Of what
had transpired, and the services of DR.. McBlEir
we're Immediately procured. BE succeeded in
relieving the disguised Woman's stomach Of the
fatal drug and placed her out Of further danger
from its effects. She viii now recover and re.
join Henson in exemplifying the free-loye doc
trine until another quarrel arises between
them and life once more becomes q torture
and misery to herself.

POES GRAVE.

From the Baltimore Americana
The body of Edgar A. Poe was buried at
the time of his death, and now reposes in the
very heart Of the city. Its location was then
considered a position of high honor. He died
under a cloud, which greatly dimmed his lit
erary merits. The erection Of a monument
was deferred by his friends until this cloud
should have, in a measure, passed away, and
was thus for q time neglected. A monument
was finally prepared, but before erection it was
accidently destroyed by locomotive, which
jumped the track and smashed things generally
in the marble yard Of Mr.. sisson. All at
tempts since to raise the means for another
monument have been by those who were In
Huenced more by the efforts to get their names
in print, or to collect money, than by any de-
sire to honor the deceased poet. Mr.. Childs,
being Baltimorean, has wearied of this non
sense about his native city, and having, doubt
less, kicked the last of these dead beats" out
of his office, sat down and wrote an order for
the erection of monument at his own expense.

THE CHICKEN THIEVES.
AND PERTINACITY OF THE
FOWL HUNTERS


FOWL HUNTERS.
SHOW are you, chickens p' is what the anx-
ious suburbans salute their neighbors with

about having their chickens stolen as they do
of having the feathers picked out of all those
who are fortunate enough to elude the grasp of
the night there's by the sundTy flaps and wig
giles which an able bodied hen alone can render.
Night before last the chicken-coop of Mr.. Diggs,
of College Hill, was entered and robbed of
several valuable fowls, in which he had hereto
fore taken great pride. All yesterday after
noon, after the official duties Of Mr.. Diggs had
been discharged, he might have been seen, with
q vengeful afr and carriage, stretching a wire
from the chickery TO his bedroom, at the latter
end of which was attached p bell, which he
expects will ring the moment the fowl thief
enters his premises. Imagine the venerable
Mr.. Digs, about 10 o'clock last night, sud
denly awakened from q sound sleep BY the
ringing bell, seiZing q double arreled shot
gun, and rushing wildly into the back yard in
search Of q party who passing rapidly over the
commons, out of reach Of buck-shot, with
large dOminick rooster in one hand and twenty
yards of wire in the other, singing, " Who viii
