general of the Confederate States, presiding
About fifty members were present, among

bers to their first annual reunion, aud giving
a sketch of the work of the medical department
during the four years Of the war, reviewing the
difficulties to which they were subjected on ac-
count Of the lack of suitable hospitals, medi-
cines and surgical appliances and the expedi-
eots resorted to for supplying their needs, many
OF which were successful and we're the meaDs
Of bringing into use new medicinal agents, &C.
He said that in the beginning Of the war there
we're many incompetent surgeons appointed,
but the establishment of an examining board

Why EDITORS DON'T COMMIT Suicide
The NV York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette in recent letter says
While speaking of suicide as feature in
human experience | am led to the remarkable
fact that editorial life exhibits so general An ex
ceptlon; While we have had instances of self
inflicted death among lawyers. bankers and me-
cha les, such case has never occurred among
the journalists Of this city. One may reasonably
Inquire what is the CAUSE OF this exempt, n !?
they labor Intensely, and are generally ili-pad,
ana they have a full share OF iife's hardships,
which they endure till their change comes in
the course of nature | can give no other rea-
son tor this except that tbs profession is con
stshtly busy, and works with an approval of
conscience, since its abors are for the public
veal. Editors, in fact are SO occupied with
range OF thought embracing public interests
that they have little time to think about them
selves. Waiter Scott made the remark after
he had reached bankruptcy, That nothing saved
him from insanity but his habits of writing.
bis mind was thus led away from the contem
platlon OF mis- miseres. Journalists are so en-
gagged in chronicling the woes of others that
they lose sight of their own"

Outrageous.


BUFFALO Township May gath. 1875
EDITOR BULiETIS.-An outrage was
pcrpetrated in your city last week on the
person Of u gray haired gentleman, that it
is to be hoped will not be initiated. The
facts are as follows. Mr. +. McCurdy on
his way TO this place from Indiana, by
getting on the wrong railroad at Chicago,
became 80 bewildercd and sick, (being
subject to nervous debility caused by sun
strokc), that when he arrived at Indepen-
dence he could scarcely tell his name or
where he was going. BY the courtesy of
Mr.. Calvin, he Was escorted to the Murray
House. Being deaf and in a disordered
state of mind, he thought from the actions
of those in the bar-room that they were
laying some plot against him; and, under
this impression, he refused to cat anything
or go to bed, and finding his pocket book
which contained all his money, missing,
added new terrors TO his, las he thought,
desperate situation / do not pretend to
say who was the thief, but some low
born wretch, taking advantage of old age
and infirmity, made him the victim of his
rascality And to make matters worse,
Murray sent for the night-watch who
took the old man to tic county Jail, and
lodged him with the criminals confined
there, notwithstanding he had been guilty
of no crime whatever, and was perfectly
quiet and peaceable.
Here he was found by Deputy Sheriff
Calvin in Il state bordering on frenzy.
Through the kindness Of Mr. Calvin, he
was released and taken to his destination.
OF course municipal regulations must be
enforced, and order preserved. but is there
a person who would not feel indignant at
having his gray haired father exposed to
to such bungling application ,f Judgment
and authority? r. E. NJ

The Conservative keeps false
hood standing at the head of its col
umns, repeating it from week to week.
No"Opposition" Convention has been
called this year, and yet it would
have its readers believe that the call
signed by Ham, Irish & Co., bears
that heading. That it should prefer
to show false colors is not remarka-
BILE, but if it expects thereby to lead
honest men of Republican antece-

is counting without its host.
