w Dr. IL. LANE DUTLER.-A CUT
respondent at Elk City, Barbour Coun-
ty, w. Va, writes to the Piaindeaier, a
newspaper published at Phillippi, in the
same County, as follows. DR.. b. is the
youngest sou of Senator c. 7. Butler of
this vicinity
DR.. Fl. L. Butler, who few weeks
since located in our city. is gentleman
of fine attainments and We certainly
think he possesses that knowledge Of the
human structure which will enable him
to be very successful in his profession,
He has been making quite number OF
calls, and the people seem to think he
is very skillful, and that we have long
needed person of such qualifications
in our vicinity. In his medical treat
ment, he is very kind and attentive to
his patients. A few nights since, Mrs.
Newton Auglin was awakened from her
sleep, and feeling very unpleasant
sensation about the ear, attempted
hastily to find the cause thereof and i'll
doing so forced bug (about the size
of grain Of corn, having hard shelly
into the ear. The pain becoming very
great, medical attention being quickly
sought for, DR.. Butler was Immediately
summoned to the residence of the sut-
ferer and very soon extricated it skill
fully. She is doing well. The Doc
tors social and medical requirements
are gathering around him many friends,
and we believe he will receive the hear
ty support Of the people generally.
R@We take the liberty to publish the
following extract from letter received
from john w, Magaha, formerly OF this
place, and now living at Pilot Grove,
Mo. We are confident that "4no" will
not object, and we are certain his
friends will be pleased. He is doing
well, and knowing that he deserves to,
we hope he may continue SO; the letter
is as follows
Dear friend, will endeavor to answer
your welcome letter which came to hand
in due time, and found me well in
which condition / am at the writing OF
this. Well l., there is no news here
that will interest you, for l am focufed
out in the country about 4 miles from
Pilot Grove, and the only news | hear
is crops, the farmers are always talking
about the crops, how much this one
raised, aad how much that one is going
to put out Well the crops here were
very good this year, the corn excepted,
which is only fair, and is not as good as
it might be.
Pilot Grove contains about 40 houses
all told, what the number of Inhabitants
is | do not know, but think between POO
and go; it is the livelest little place |
ever saw, all of the stores seem to do
good business. ! was in the Grove this
morning, and was sitting in John Os-
bouyn's (son of Mr. Kelly Osbourn)
shop, and there were seven of US in the
shop, six of whom were from about
Shepherdstown; there were John Os-
bourn, Tom. Osbourn, Ed. Hill, one of
the Maddox's boys and Mr.. George
Evans, who is from Illinois, aud who is
visiting here; he used to live out near
DR.. Robert Lucas, on the left of the
road to Dufiields; he left there twenty
two years ago.
There are lots of residents here from
Jefferson county, and this does look
like Shrpherdstown settlement sure
enough. All the boys send their re-
CARDS to you, give my regards TO all OF
the boys, and tell them am the sdI'iest
looking farmer they ever saw; | can just
snatch an old plow bald-headed. | re-
