December /, 1876.
1t is fact well known to
w every practitioner of medicine that
there is class of persons in every commu-
nifty who, while able to remunerate their
family physician for professional services,
habitually defraud him out of his honest
dues, and exchange him fer another as soon
as payments insisted on for past services !;
and
Whereas, This system of fraud has be-
come such a nuisance in this community
that some concerted action on the part of
physicians has become a necessity for self
protection; therefore,
Resolved, By the citizen physicians of Don
GtdsonUille and of the parish of ascension,
That we. and each of us will, within thirty
days from date, make complete list of our
delnquents, and notify them by writing of
the amount of arrears due, with the infor-
nation that if these arrears are not paid or
satisfactorily arranged within thirty days
from date of such notice. their names will
appear on the general Black List, a
copy of which will be in the possession of
every one of the undersigned.
ResOlUed, That the undersigned hereby
pledge themselves not to give prescription,
medical advice or attention to those who
permit their names to appear on said Black
List without the payment of the fee shall
be secured before such services are rendered
ResoIped, That nothing in the above shall
apply to those who are not able to pay, Oh
interfere in any manner with that work Of
charity which every humane and honorable
medical man delights to perform.

WASHENGTON'S EARLY LOVE.

A letter to the Richmond Enquirer
says: AS there seems to be some doubt
as to which of the Misses Cary belongs
the honor Of having refused the hand of
George Washington, permit me to refer
you to an extract from Bishop Meade's
book on Old Churches and Families of
Virginia" page 1OS, vol. l. The elder
sister of Miss Mary Gary had married
George William Fairfax, at whose house
he was on a visit, when she captivated
young man, who had paid her his adj
dresses. His affection, however, was not
returned, and the offer of his hand was
rejected by Miss Cary. This young man
was afterwards known to the world as
General George Washington, the first
president of the United States of Amer
lea. Young Washington asked permits
sion of old Mr.. Cary to addresshis daugh.
ter before he ventured to speak to her
self The reply Of the old gentleman was,
/" If that is your business here, sir, wish
you to leave the house, for my daughter
has been accustomed to ride in her own
coach" 1t has subsequently been said
that this answer ofMr. Gary to the strip
ling Washington produced the indepen-
dence Of the United States and laid the
foundation Of the future fame Of the first
Of heroes and the best of men-our inn
mortal Westinghouse it was more than
probable that, had he obtained possession
Of the large fortune which it, was known
Miss Cary would carry to the altar with
her, he would have passed the remainder
Of his life in inglorious ease. 1t was an
anecdote of the day that this lady, many
years after she had become the wife of
Edward Amber, happened to be in vii.
liamsburg when General Washington
passed through that city at the head Of
the American army, crowned with ney.
er-fading laurels and adOred by hiscoun.
trymen. Having distinguished her
among the crowd, his sword waved to-
wards her a military salute, whereupon
she j. said to have tainted But this
wants confirmation, for her whole life
