A POPULAR PHYsICIAN TO LEAVE TOWN.
 It is long time since this village and vicinity has received such . genuine shock of surprise ss it did last week at the announcement of Dr R. A. Marcy sale of his cottage, barn, stock of medi- cine, practice and good will to Dr Ingra- ham of West Stockbridge, Mass. Dr In graham arrived on Wednesday and rode when he returns to his Massachusetts home to prepare for removal here about November l. It is needless to say that Dr Marcy has in the past IS years en- cleared himself in his profession to al- most countless host of friends. Many of them are very 10th to bid him adieu. Every former doctor has worn himself out in his practice here. Dr Marcy de- cides to stop before he Is 8 wreck. For three years he affirms he has felt the ap- proach of collapse. He believes if he continued his daily rides it would result in total disability. Re decides to stop in time he trusts to recuperate. Against the desire of every one we have got to he may go and in whatever occupation he may engage. He has no idea of at present following his profession else- where. Df Ingraham comes highly rec commended as physician and man. He has faithfully served his patrons in West Stockbridge for the past ten years. He has worthily filled the office of deacon in the Congregational church there for years. In politics he Is sincere repub- lican. He brings with him an estimable wife and two children, 10 and seven tion to New Preston society. Your cor. respondent truly hopes the mantle of Dr Marcy has fallen on 8 most worthy suc- cess0r who will sustain tho medical rep. utation already secured to this place by Dr Marcy and although the rides and daily duties are long may the same fnan- cial success attend him as is believed has been attended by his predecessor.
