COMPLAINT BOOK.
THE LATE DIR. BLANCHARD.

1 Ahb bAtE ph bLhNthhhD.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: In relation to the
death Of DIR. blanchard the account was some
what incorrect. DR.. B. was member Of my
family for the last seven years, and the con-
struction Of your article Of yesterday will
lead many to believe DR.. Blanchard to be q
common drunkard; that he was q frequenter
Of the police stations; that he died from the
effects Of drink, and also that he was drinking
continuously Of late. Such Is not the case.
Dr. blanchard was In good practice, and seldom
! intoxicated, not more than once or twice q
year. This was the second tire Of his going
to the station within the period Of seven years;
and Of his drinking hard for the last few
weeks Is not so, as DR.. Hagner can testify, as
he was consulting physician with DIR. Blanch-
ard, attending my child for the last two
months every other day, and sometimes every
day both were In attendance.
The Doctor was attended by two physicians,
Drs. Buckley and Walters, two Of his personal
friends and II is regretted that they were not
sooner advised Of his condition. The Doctor
was subject to apoplexy. to my knowledge,
and upon two previous occasions suffered from
attacks of this disease. He will be missed by
both rich and poor He was gentleman, so
cial and genial, and there was not q man liv-
ing more particular Of his company than he.
He was my friend, and had better knowl-
edge as 10 his life and habits than any person
living, and feel Il my duty to inform his
friends and those who knew him OF the facts
In the case. He was followed TO the grave by
many leading members Of the medical profess
sion and numerous friends. II the writer Of
the article In your issue Of yesterday had
known how many dear friends he had, and his
high standing In this community, his kind,
benevolent disposition and good character, he
would have spared them the pain Of reading
your article, entitled "A Victim Of Intemper-
ance"
By inserting the above in your valuable
paper you will greatly oblige.

HILL YESTERDAY.
The annual meeting Of the Lebanon Farm.
ers' Club Of Fairfax county, Va, was held yes.
terday at Sfasons Hill. These annual meet.
ings are always largely attended, and take the
form Of a picnic in the woods during the day
and ball at some Of the neighboring farms al
night, and this was no exception to the rule.
After the meeting Of the club addresses were
made by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and Mr.. Moran,
who spoke mainly of the crops In that section,
and gave the farmers some good advice as to
their disposition. Afterwards DIR. Culver, Of
Washington, was introduced who, in his usual
manner, delivered q political harangue, which
was entirely out Of place, as those present had
assembled merely for pleasure and not to talk
politics.
The day was passed quietly and pleasantly,
and at night the bellies and beaux of Fairfax
county enjoyed themselves In the mazy dance
till the wee sma' hours. There were number
Of fWashingtonians present, among whom were
Mr.. and Mrs Pullman, Miss Studds, Misses
Julia, Fanny and Jennie Atkinson, Misses
Mamie and Sadie White, Miss Florence Hig.
don; also Mrs. Carver and Miss Tillie Graham,
Of Fairfax Court House; Miss Addie Miller, OF
Linconia, Misses Jennie and Carrie Townsend,
and Miss Ben Crump, Of Carlin Springs.
