Garceion, OF Maine, liz seventytwo years OF
age, and is thus further described by one who
knows and admtres him: "All MIS- life he has
been the recipient Of nigh hunor5 In his pro-
fesslon and looked up 10 ~ man Of deep
erudition In matters surgical. He Is thor
oughly honest, u capital physician, and ex-
ceedlngly kind hearted, and has hosts OF
friends all over the State. He Is noted for his
tnteg rity, and when he is once satisfied Of the
right he will not hs ewerved from his pur-
pose. He is too old man to do anything
that would make blot upon such an up
right lite. Men hardly live 50 long IN the
world as he without their grosser nature
cropping out. IL such exists In them; and
Garcelon has always been man OF upright
ness and integrity.

State. Ohio was formerly second choice, but
now Is not 80 popular. Iowa IL next favored.
Missouri while ranking fourth Ia the twenty
four years, has also declined In favor. Calf

migrants and now much Is being done TO en-
courage agriculturists andminers to go there.
The emigration to Utah, owing to the pecu-
Harities of the original settlers, has BEEN
spaSmodfc and m stly confined to MormonS.
Kansas has offered many inducements to im-
migrants with success. There seems to be a
spirit of rivalry between Nebraska and the
Northwestern States To secure desirable
foreign element, and just now the State beard
OF emigration If Wisconsin Is doing much to
secure i'm migrants"
