And "justly BO; for nowhere could a.better Faculty be fopud, or great? er facilities for acquiring the rudiments in every, department of medical educa? tion. Since the war, owing tothe gene? ral povbrty of our people, nnd, porbap9. to otfaer nasses, the number bl atudtrnts in attendance has been much smaller. We hope, however, that a brighter day is dawning. The Faculty is as good HS in its palraieeV?nye, and the fpjcilttie.s for good clinical instruction uro ample. There is also a good anatomical m asea m attached to tbe College, which is freely used for.'purpbses of illustration. t: 1 : {Charleston Courier. \?k a "spirituttli" sitting in Hartford, recently, there Waa present a woman who monreid the loss of hor consort, und. as thama#>{ftatatiopa h?B*n . to appoar, the Bpurit^f tho departed benedict entered upohrlbb-scene.
