A representative OF this paper lille

but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der of years. When the knight OF the quill
had last seen this gentleman. he was giving
his entire time and attention TO an extensive
medical practice, and was on the crest Of the
rave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved to New York where he could ind a
more extensive field for his talents and ex-
