A Centennial History.

The centennial commission makes the
following suggestion in relation to the
local observance of the next national an
niversary, which should meet the hearty
cooperation of every community;
ut seems proper that the local celebra-
tons of the Fourth of July, 1876, which
will be held throughout the land should be
made to contribute to permanent histor-
ical memorial of the centennial celebration.
In each county provision should be made
for the delivery of an address tracing the
history of that particular community for
the past century, or from the time of Its
settlements, and including u sketch
of its growth, its resources, indus
tries, prospects, etc. These addresses
should be published in uniform
size-that of the congressional documents.
for instance--in order that they may be
bound together by states. To competent
persons the preparation of such addresses
would not be an unduly burdensome task |;
but in the aggregate they would constitute
an invaluable historical repository such IA
no nation has ever had the opportunity to
collect.
designations of the historians ought to
be made without delay, in order that they
may have time to accomplish their work.
1t is to be hoped that the press will give
general circulation to the project, and that
each journal will see to its consummation
in its own locality, and that the slight ex-
pense involved be assumed by the county
or town authorities"

A Remark able Professional Success

Among the notable professional men Of this
country who have achieved extraordinary sue
cess is Dr. X. V. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through tricily legitimate means and,
so far, therefore, he deserves the enviable repu-
tation which he enjoys. This large measure OF
success is the result OF thorough and careful
preparation for his calling, and extensive
reading during long and unusually large prac-
tice, which have enabled him TO gain high
commentator, even from his professional
brethren. Devoting his attention to certain
specialties OF the science he has so carefully
Investigated, he has been rewarded In @ re-
markable degree. In these speclalties, he has
become a recognized leader. Not few OF the
remedies prescribed by him have, 1t is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians In
their private, practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful con-
tributions 10 medical knowledge. He has re-
Gently added another. and perhaps more i'm
portant work, because OF more general appli-
cation, TO the list of his published writings.
This book entitled "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" is designed to enter
Into general circulation. DR.. Pierce has re-
ceived acknowledgements and honors from
many sources and especially scientific degrees
from two of the first medical institutions in
the land.

The Laws Delay.

quarter of century, and nearly genera
ton, ago and heirs have been born into

Statements of the Insurance Com
panies.

The New York local insurance compan-
les are busily engaged in preparing their
January statements reviewing the year.
Enough is already known to warrant the
prediction of very satisfactory exhibit.
A marked difference appears, however,
between companies which restrict their
risks mainly in the city and such as are en-
gagged outside, as the latter have IN many
cases suffered severely. The Virginia City
FIRE was particularly disastrous, and spoiled
some fine prospective dividends. The
effect of reducing rates twenty per cent,
which profits OF 1874 seemed to warrant,
was anticipated by many with apprehen-
sion, and 1t is now claimed that happy
exemption from large losses in local bust
ness is all that saved them.
