She lever tired nf reciting to her friends u-ci mn ts of those journeys and the nost remarkable thing was the ab loluto eorrectnosu of detail with vhlch she described every thing and javo historical information.

Dr. McIntosh ls one of the best cifi/.eiis of the state aa well as. one oi the strongest men in his profession. If we may be pardoned for a personal allusion, ho has about tho san." per colilli Btandlng in Columbia that our distinguished fellow citizen. Dr. lt. A. Henry hus in thia city. Genteel, con siderate, manly, honorable, a man re spected and beloved. Dr. McIntosh seems to have had a nremonlHoii or a warning of some kind. Ho' ia not tho kind of mau to ??arry nrms. especially as the Knowl ton hospital is only about three ?locke from the home of Dr. McIntosh ind th? streets ure fairly well light Bil, and thickly populated, except tho liiurch lot which occupied half of a ally block and is surrounded hy u lirick wall, low in front and higher than a man's head in Hie rear and m tho side. Dr. McIntosh ls a fleshy man and una the tremeiulou'i responsibility of i large and lucrative practice and ho evidently finds little pleasure during his hot weather In being a patient in Hie institution where he has been ?ne of the staff. God in a merciful provident e, has ipared tho useful and valuable lifo of hts sterling citizen and eminent prac .Itioner. He, is a man of gentle ways, if genial manner, of unusual profes ilntinl standing, and in Columbia, his idopte.d home, he is looked up to os i louder in civic us well as in pro cessional things.
