A New Work by DIR. HOlcOmbes

We have received from DR.. w. H. Hol-
combe a copy Of paper repubiished from
the United States Medical and Surgica!
Journal. which asks the question. "Why
are not all physicians homeopathistsP'
While we do not propose to answer the
authors interrogatory. we can say, that in
the brief essay before US, he makes Show.
ing for his own school of practice which,
for the nonce, seems unanswerabie. There
are very few men living better able to state
a case than the author of this pamphlet. 1t
is true that the allopat hic family have not
treated their homeopathic neighbors with
any degree of consideration; their proscrip-
ton has amounted to absolute persecution.
Hence, it is we'll that such bright intellects
as the author Of this book should ask ques-
tions which those les gifted, though Of the
orthodox faith, will ind it difficult to an
eWer.

each party is determined to have It's

The report Of the Committee yes.
iertaay, appointed to investigate upon
the expediency Of abolishing the OH
ccs Of Postmaster. Assistant Post
master. and Mail Carrier, was the &c.
CASTOR Of an animated discussion.
The committee recommended that
such Offices be abolished, and the re-.
port was adopted. On the one hind
Il was alleged that the present postal
facilities Of the city are sufficient for
all purposes, and that by thus dis
pensiAg with these sofloes II would be
ono step for retrenchncnt and reform,
and ON animal saving Of about 81, 600.
On the other hand Il was urged that
oil channels Of communication with
constituents should be as perfect az
possible, and that IL is scarcely posi-
bic for the Office in this city to deliver
letters and papers with the same cer-
tainty and dispatch a. when the As

does not necessarily abolish the on
