which women only understand. A
more sumptuous and elegant spread
we have never beheld. 1t was the
work principally of the wives and
daughters of our resident physicians,
and by it they have won the crown
of table excellence. AT about 8
o'clock the members of the Associa-
ton, and large number of invited
guests, set down and partook of the
recherche feast.

The Pittsburgh Commercial edit orally pays
the following deserved compliment to DIR.
Uppegraff, of Mt. Pleasant:
''Not least among the conspicuous Republi.
can orators of the Presidential campaign, just
closed, was Hon. ]. I. Updegraff, of Ohio
For the eminent services performed by him
in Indiana, Ohio and our own State, the Re.
publican party honors him highly, and the
consciousness of this will be his exceeding
great reward. He everywhere drew large
audiences, and awakened intense popular en-
thusiasm. His speeches were models of con-
vincing argument, powerful appeal and effec-
tive persuasion. Inthis campaign he has add
ed greatly to his own influence and to his
power in the Republican party, which is in
debted to him for some of the most effective
work done by any one man."
