To commemorate the event of DIR. w.
F. Whyte's marriage last week his pro
fessional brethren have drawn up the
the following memorial in his case:
May his occupation never become a
drug ia the market, as long as he sticks,
like his own plaster, to business; may he
never be bruised in the mortar of adver
sitv by the pestie of misfortune, and may
his rise in his profession be as accurately
marked "a his graduate measure; may
his career be as unsullied as distilled
water and as smooth and pure as honey;
NAV his success never be alleged by a
mixture of ill.luck OF. tlncture of regret;
may hrs pocket case prove the cruciele
whereby he transmutes human ailments
into precious metals and precipitates the
golden deposit into his own pocket: may
he never be called on to swallow the
bitter pill of disappointment or be macer>
ated in the cruel spirit of enmity; should
| tickle Fortune ever refuse him her smiles
may he find an antidote in the soothing
opiate of woman's love; be strengthened
by the tonic of experiences and purified
by thelsudorific of patience. Thus, his
best days being evaporated and the lamp
of existence past trimming, when DR..
Death sends to his office the dreadful
prescription endorsed "To be taken at

nently entered in the day-book OF mem

The Chicago Tribune of Saturday gives
canvass of the state relative to the
strength of the several candidates for the
United States Senatorship. The sum
mary shows General Fairchild slightly
10 the lead, although Colonel Spooner's
sharp canyass is having its effect. Ac
cording to the dispatches received Fair
child was the favorite in thirty-three
points and Spooner at twenty seven. The
Hon. William T. Price is the leading dark
horse, with Charles L. Colby, Jonathan
Bowman, and others as local fayorites.
Among the dispatches received were the
following:
WATERFOWL, WIS, Dec 49, Spe
cial. I'm this (Jefferson) county all the
legislative members are Democrats, 30
that there is no Republican preferences
to report from them on the Senatorial
question. A canyass among leading
Republicans here shows that in their
choice they are principally divided be-
tween Gen. Lucius Fairchild and Gel.
John G. Spooner, with the preponderance
of sentiment il favor of the former.
