Our City Physician.

In the DEMOCRAT of last week we
mentioned that QT. Lewis Slusser) was.
elected city physician. The following
rules, governing the city physician, have
been adopted by the Board of Health:
The physician is required to attend
professionally. the sick poor of the city,
and supply them with all the medicine
necessary for their restoration or relief;
giving them the same attention and
remedies that he would use in his regu-
lar practice. He must respond promptly
to all Obstetrical calls, ane calls in cases
of accident requiring surgical aid. He
must have an arrangement with some
other physician to attend such cases in
his absence. He will attend all small
pOX cases thrown upon the city, for
which he will receive the additional
compensation of ten dollars per day for
each days attendance, so long as his
services are necessary. He is also au-
thor1led to secure necessary nurses or
cooks, required for proper attendance
upon such cases, at compensation not
to exceed five dollars per day for each
day of actual service. If at any time
the physician neglectS to attend calls, OF
is inefficient, the Board may, upon salts
factory proof of such negligence or in
efficiency, remove him. The cOmpensa-
tiOn of the physician, including medi-
cine, shall be Shopper annum, payments
to be made monthly.

Lie and worI. OF GarfIe1d.

The Life and Work of Garfield" is by
John Clark Ridpath, l.. l.. d., and is pub
lished by Jones Brothers & Co., of Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Kansas City. 1t embraces an account
of his struggles in childhood, his career
as soldier, his success as a Statesman,
his elevation to the Presidency and his
dastaTdly assassination. DR.. Ridpath is
a professor of belles-lettTes; an expert
in the science of language; an essayist
of enviable reputation; one of the most
eminent of living historians; and he
not only brings to this work heart full
of love and reverence for its subject, but
a mind completely stored with its lore,
and capable of using it to the best ad-
vantage. We are persuaded that this is
the work the American people want as
a permanent memorial of Garfield.
William A. ROhn, of Perry township,
is agent for this work and will canvass
several townships. He is an efficient
worker and will satisfy anyone that Pro-
fessor Ridpath's work is authentic, and
we'll and enticingly written. Professor
Ridpath is well known as a fascinating
writer of history The work is full and
complete, and well illustrated with steel
engravings. The melancholy death of
President Garfield is of too recent occur
ence to require an extended notice.
Every American citizen should have this
volume, that they might renew, in
memory, from time to time, his life and
death.

CoNCORDIA CONCERT.
Hwsn Arranged PFoerafnmS Finely Rem

/ .uereus ..|.N
The concert of the Coneordia Society
in the Opera House Tuesday evening
drew forth large audience of both the
German and English speaking popula-
tiOn. The programme was well rem
dered throughout, for which the Society,
and especially its President, Mr.. Joseph
Biechele, deserves credit. The singing
of Miss Ella DOherty and Mrs. James
Reynolds was exceptionally fine, and
both were warmly applauded. Messrs.
C.. Biechele and Joseph Gessner each
sang difficult baritone solos in an ac-
ceptable manner. For so old gentle
man, Mr.. Biechele's voice Is clear and
vigorous. A duet, 'Swallow's FAREWELL" !"
was well rendered by Messrs. Webb and
Rose. Messrs. Weiss, Marking and
Berg played flute trio, which was an
acceptable novelty. A quartette, com
posed of MessTs. Hahn, Biechele, Has
sOldt and Klemp, showed themselves ca
pable of burlesquing as we'll as singing
sentimentally. DR.. +. Schooner played
fine violin solo from ii TrOvat0re.
"When Spring Climbs DER Mountains"
duet, was we'll sung by Messrs. Hahn
and Karp. The selections sung by the
Society, it is needless to say, were
well done, and received their
share of applause. Professor JOhan-
nes Wolfram, who played the
piano accOmpaniments of the
evening, created much enthusiasm by
his magnificent piano solo composed of
selections from Chopin and Verdi. Prof.
| Weiss's orchestra did itself credit, and
| to that gentleman much of the success
of the entertainment was due. After
| the concert social dance was INDUCED
| in at COnc0rdia Hall. As President
Biechele remarked, it is not the object of
the COncordia Society to make money
| but to promote sOciability. In this re-
spect it is certainlya pronounced success.

Jolly Pathhnders.

The jolly PathindeTs, as Te-OrganiZed
for the season of 1872, embraces the
finest musical and speciality talent on
the stage. The company have just con
cluded a successful engagement in New
York City and will appear here Friday
(tO-mOTTOW) evening, Canton being the
only stop on their way to Chicago. With
this company will appear three familiar
faces to a Canton audience, viz: Will
Delhauer, George Ziegler and Marsh
JeanneTO, all Canton boys, who have
been unusually successful in their re-
spective professions. This trio will be
a drawing card for the Pathtinders, and
good house will be sure to greet them.
Of SCRAPS. the sparkling musical
melange, in which the Pathfinders ap-
pear, the Louisville Commercial of Janu-
airy 7th, 1879, says: A good audience en-
jOyed a delightful evening of Burlesque
and ExtravagaIZa at the Opera House,
on the occasion of the first appearance
of the Pathfinders. The performance is
one of many phases, and touches the
risibleS Of the lOOker-On with countless
drOlleries and funny Incidents. Scraps
was the name of the mixture presented
last night; it is a history of a little
pleasure excursion by water, of party
of ladies, gentlemen, and ludicrOus
black African attendant, When they
first appear it is at the steamboat land
ing, and discovering that they have more
than two hours to wait, they decide to
pass the time in songs, chOruses, pic
nicing and miscellaneous fun. The two
hours and half of waiting covers the
whole affair, and the curtain does not
fall until the close. Each one cOntri'
butes big armful to the merits Of the
entertainment. The singing and the
limitations were the chief features. The
stage settings and appointments have
been carefully perfected.
