An Agreeable Reunion.

The Attakapas Medical Associa ion
held semi annual meeting in this
place on Tuesday last at S p. IN. The
attendance was not as numerous as was
desired. They met in the courthouse
late in the afternoon by the courtesy of
tho court and the sheriff, and spent au
hour or possibly a longer time in free
interchange of ideas touching matters
of practice IN their profession
We are Informed that the subject of
fevers was discussed from experimental
standpoints, and that the suggestions
prompted by observations in practice,
and based on actual experience, were
advanced by different physicians, with
lucidity
AS there was Il theatrical ente tain
ment at the Opera House, which the
gentlemen desired to witness, the pran-
dat entertainment was delayed until
after the performance Accordingly
the party sat down at the Lacomb ho
tel at 1880, consisting of the following
gentlemen of the Medical Association
of the Attakapas Physicians: J. P.
Francis, M. B. Tarlton, j. F. Moutou,
L. B. Arceneaux, J. o. Ray, w w.
Leslie, A. Guilbeau, B. Guilbeau, T. T.

VIM. M. Thompson and w. r. Las
trapes, and also Judge E. North Cul-
lom, o. j. Stokes and DR.. A. J. Bercier.
The three last gentlemen received COM
plimentary invitations.
The supper was elegant and sump-
tuous. The reputation of Austin La
comb as gastronomic caterer is too
we'll known and widely established to
call for any encominms from as.
Every one present was blessed with
good appetite, and the |abors of Mr..
Lacomb proved not to have been in
vain. The feast consisted of reason in
the general topic and tenor of cnnver
satIon as we'll as of the supplying the
necessities of the inner man. Toward
the conclusion of it Judge Cullom was
called upon for IA speech and he respou.-
ded as well as he could. Others, and
among them Mr.. Stokes, were called
on but declined to say anything.
Taken altogether the reunion was
all that wonld have been desired and
we hope this intelligent, refined and
gentlemanly association will long con
tinue to hold it's meetings in this place.
