On motion of DR.. Gates, it
Resolved, That it is the desire
of "the Attakapas Medical So
ciety" to follow the good example
of "the New Orleans Medical
and Surgical Society,"" "the Or
leans Parish Society,"" and similar
associations, that have intelligent
ly considered the deficiencies of
our organization in this State ;
that is our purpose to become use
full in the grand reform, and our
united energies shall be devoted
to the accomplishment of that Oh
ject ; that our personal exper-
fence in the several branches of
medicine shall ever he submitted
to the inquiring minds Of medical
men ; that it is derogatory 10
the dignity and interests Of the
profession for a member Of a re-
cognized medical society to en-
gage in any trade Or calling, the
duties of which are Inconsistent
with the Legitimate pursuit of his
profession !; that it is unprofes-
sional to do cheap contracts for
societies, plantation, etc.
Motion seconded and carried.

Last evening, about dusk
George Lyons, our efficient and

pause for a moment in front OF
Martins store, casting a few
furtive glances up and down the
street to see if any one was look

walking up to the counter, placed
a nickle in the hands of oul
amiable friend Clarence, whisper
ed something in his ear-the
exact purport of which will never
be known-and was handed a
small. Notwithstanding parcel
done up in brown paper. Thrust.
ing it hastily away down in the
deep recesses Of his inner coat
pocket, he smiled family and
abruptly took his departure.
