NOR empted itself into the bowel, and suose
quently the perforation was closed.
DR.. Merrill, from committee composed oil
himself, Drs. E. w. Brooks and c. A. Rlng'
read the following resolutions which
were accepted and ordered spread on the re-
cords:
Whereas. 1t has pleased the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe to take from among us our
friend and associate, DR.. j. b. Soto OF Bruins

whose earnest and manly struggles Tor educa-
ton, without friends or means, a stranger III

Resolved, That lit may be truly said OF him
that he was Jealous and conscientious IN u.s.
charging his professional duties, regarding no
sacrifice of time rest, or comfort, TOO great
when its purpose was to relieve suffering.

how successfully he battled with hard for
tune.
On motion. Mrs. S. W. Devoll, NJ d, was
elected to membership.
DR.. French said that since he had read his
report on Poisoning by the hydrated oxide OF

several reports on this subject, from various
quarters of this country, and from ABROAD all
condemning their use. He said that many
people had been to the state assayer, COM
nIaning of symptoms such as he had described
in bis paper.
DIR. Foster thought the poisoning agent
coula hardly be the oxide of zinc, inasmuch as
he had given 8 grains three times DAY 'or
several months without damage.
DIR. French referred to the experiments OF
DR.. Nichols of Boston, in relation to this mat
ter, showing that in his hands, symptoms OF
noisoning such as had been described, were
obtained from this agent, on himself and AMI
mails. That the quantity obtained from our
pipes was, beyond comparison, greater than
any medicinal dose.
At the request of many members. Dr. French

luded to, and such further matter as might be
developed, at some future meeting

STREET NUMBERs.-It is very evident that
something should be done in regard to arrang-
ing the numbers on streets which have been re-
numbered this season. In many instance there
are no numbers at all, while in other cases the
old numbers are retained. The result is that it
is utterly impossible for strangers to find
house by the numbers. A member of the Com
mon Council, in company with a stranger,
spent an hour yesterday, looking for certain
number on Congress street. They were looking
for the new numbers, when the number to
which they had been directed was the old num-
ber The two numbers are about half mile
apart. The new Numbers are ill-arranged, and

(From the Saco Independeast]
The Portland PRESS, now in its teens, de-
serves the success it appears to enjoy, judging
from the freshness of its type, the quality OF It's
paper, the quantity of its advertising and other
indications of prosperity. 1t has the same tel,
egraphic news as is furnished to the associated
press throughout the country, beside local de-
spatches from private correspondents in vari-
Gus parts of the state and county, and can lay
them before itslreaders in this vicinity f0e hours
earlier than the Boston dailies; SO that man
can read his PRESS at or before breakfast and
then 90 about his ordinary avOcations, con-
scious that he is fully informed OF the chief
topics of discussion in social, scientific, politl-
cal literary or religious circles. Its well-wrlt-
ten editorials are Independent in thought and
style; its collection of news items throughout
this state is remarkably full and accurate, and
and its respondence--notably that at var
mouth (Hon Isaac III. Bailey, who writes
from New York aud Washington, on political

proof of its independence, we hear that some
rabid partisans threaten to start new Repu6'

select gymnastic entertainment at their hall

performance gave general satisfaction. The
programme opened with a short exercise with
Indian Clubs by the whole company. The time
was almost perfect and not a blunder was made
throughout. Next came the Horizontal Bar
exercise by Dennis, Hudson, Winchester, Kim

feats were performed with the greatest Of
ease." The Trapeze performance by Doldt and
Barrows was excellent and is worthy of high
