the situation and people such as greatly
please him. He is young man of good
appearance and comes well spoken of.
both as physician and gentleman.
Our acquaintance with him is limited, but
we have no doubt that when his family
arrive that the people of Stowe will find
in the doctor and his wife, both profess
sionally and socially, merits with which
they will be well pleased, and whenever
the people can prOtitably do so it will be
well to be sick and extend to him your
patronage.
We are pleased to learn that DR.. G. w.
Church, of WinOoski, has determined to
locate among us. He arrived on Satur-
day with his family, and for the present

opened an office. He had planned to
come several days before, but very gen.
erously yielded the field, expecting that
DR., Stiles, of Essex, would locate here,
but who, for some reason, gave up the
purpose. DR.. Church is gentleman of
winning manners and is said to be highly
recommended by Drs. Grinnell, james,
Hooker and others with whom our peo-
pie are familiar. He took his degree at
burlington, has had experience in New
York hospitals and has practiced profess
sionally about ten years in the country.
Socially he is pleasing, and with his wife,
will be made welcome by every one.
