office last evening, pursuant to adjourn
ment, and after taking the testimony of
Mr. E. Taylor, the engineer, and William

was killed, they returned a verdict of acci
dental death. One of the jurymen suggest

hibiting persons from walking upon the
tracks of railroads be stringently enforced.

hence the snit. A hearing was had in the

funding of the money and the payment of
the costs.

of men, who, in road, in train, in yard,

eine: He spoke of the patient faithfulness
of the employes for the test- two,yearse
which, joined to a perfect unity and, accord
amongst all, had advanced most ifignally
the interests of the line. He called atten
tion 'within tbat time to the opening of a
new pathway to the elevation and improve
ment by the employes, which he trusted in
the future would be enlarged more and
more. This was the Employes' Library and
Reading Room, the results of which would
be to develop intellect' and sound judg
ment, fitting the men-the better for useful
ness in all spheres, and enlarging more
and more the „field of their ability and of
individual success and enjoyment.
He continued by bearing witness to the
. faithfulness sand courtesy of all officers of
the line and management, and of their
President he wished to testify that
everything pertaining to the interest and
welfare of the employes had ever received
his hearty support and cooperation, and
Mr: Devereaux desired to assure the em
plove.s of the road that it would still be the
aim and wish of the President to protect
and advance their 'interests, through the
tried and noble men who.succeeded him.
lie concluded as follows:
And to one and all of the friends hero
present and absent, to each one, accept my
earnest wishes for your welfare and pros
perity. and so may God bless you all.
After the presentation ceremony was over
Mr. Devereaux was overwhelmedwith con
gratulations from all sides. It was pleas
ing to notice in what high respect and af
fection he was held by all those in attend
ance. The same hearty, honest congratula
tion was offered from the highest officials
of the road down to those occupying the
huniblest 'positions. They all seemed to
feel that they were parting with' a friend
whose interests had ever been identified
with theirs and-whose generous course had
gained for him a warm place in their hearts
as well as a high place in their estimation.
The present was a princely one, costing
somewhere in the, neighborhood of two
thousand dollars, and was a sensible seiec
tion by practical donors. -

'Pathology.
•
Medic-at science has - made much headway
during the past decade of•years, and many
of the most formidable diseases have been
made succumb •to the treatment of the
knowing physician. Each day and week
records some advancement made, some
new cause for disease and agency for its
prevention and cure. Pathology has taken
its proud place and through the long and
prnibund•analysis of the Laboratory has
come forth a science which has accom
plished more good for humanity than any
other we can recall. That the urinary
method of detecting disease has superior
advantages over all others has frequently
been demonstrated by the best thinkets
and reasoners in the medical profession,
while the most learned and erudite of the
world's chemists have added their testimo
ny to the truth of the assertion.
Here in our city we have med
ical men of the deepest reading and
culture, who have spent years in this de- .
partment of science, and who are sur
rounded on all sides by living witnesses to
their skill in the curative art. By means
of a scientifie process they detect the im
mediate seat of disease as well as the cause,
and hence with this knowledge their treat
ment must be efficacious. Such a physi
cian is Dr. M'Kce, who we are pleased to
see has located his office permanently in
our midst at No. 174 Smithfield street. With
long practice, close study and careful ope
ration, he has made himself master of most
diseases to which human flesh is heir. He
treats all diseases of the lungs, throat, bow
els and organs of hearing and sight in the
most skillful manner, and there are hun
dreds in our city who bear willing testimo
ny to his worth and ability as a physician.
