Richardson re- port him pleasantly located In Sandy Hook, Conn.,, a thriving village of per haps 5000 inhabitants, about 20 miles from Bridgeport and well served as to travelling facilities with trains on the New York and New England and the Honsatonic railroads. While we are very unfortunate in losing the services of q physician so able and popular as Dr Richardson, we shall be pleased to hear that he is attaining the success, socially and professionally, to which his skill, education and experience entitle him. He Is graduate of Harvard medical school and keeps well abreast with dis coveries and methods of the times. His sympathy and untiring devotion to his patients and the skill and good judgment shown in many severe and difficult cases, both in medicine and surgery, have won for him very warm regard from those he has served in the few short years he has lived among us.- [Cape Ann Breeze.
