E. Church last Monday evening. The platform had been prettily adorned with bric-a-brac, rugs, for which the League's upright piano made a handsome background. At 8 o'clock Mr. H.

D. Davis, the President, and Mr. Sam B. Gamble, the Secretary, took their positions, and the exercises were introduced by an appropriate prayer by Rev. E.

B. Smith, of the Baptist Church. The music of the evening consisted in two vocal numbers rendered by Mrs. Sloane in her incomparable manner. The address of the evening was by Mr.

O. N. Sams. It was prefaced in a happy style, which at once put Mr. Same' audience in accord with him.

Among the large number of addresses that have been delivered before the League this excelled, for novelty, at least. It was a scientific paper on "The Force of the Wind, and How It may be Utilized." It was science popularizedtechnical, yet easily understood by the laymen. Mr. Same proved himself well "up" not only in the subject of the evening, but in general literature, especially mythology. The history of aeronautics, the haps and mishaps of flying machines and their inventors from Daedalus to Springfellow, balloons and ballooning, and the value of the latter as witnessed in the siege of Paris, all proved exceedingly interesting, As the speaker drew to a close with a prophecy of aerial nayigation, "when Hillsboro should become a seaport town and the air the ocean," his auditors were a little in doubt whether be really believed his prophecy or was only alyly "taking the vagaries of genius.

The programme was cut a little short by the unavoidable absence of Dr. L. L. Helt, but as the audience retired after the pleasant hour's entertainment every one must have felt that the League is an organization worthy of public support and capable of being a source of pleasure and profit to our young men.

Dr. W. C. Helt's Resignation. To the Trustees of Hillsboro Female College, Hillsboro, Ohio: DEAR SIRS: a trial of two years in the management of the Hillsboro Female College am fully convinced of the following: 1.

It is impossible to support two literary institutions of the same grade and class in Hillsboro. 2. If the day ever was it is now passed for female institutions of learning. The separation of the sexes is unnatural and the results, as a rule, are not beneficial. The history of co-educational institutions proves conclusively that a mingling of the sexes in the school-room is.

stimulating, and is essential to the development of the strongest manly and womanly character. 3. The Hillsboro Female College can never be made a success under its present charter. 4. If the College is ever to be made a successful, self-sustaining institution, the following changes and improvements are imperative: (1.) The charter must be changed 80 as to admit both sexes upon equal terms.

(2.) The College building must be put in thorough repair throughout, with steam heating and modern improvements. (3.) There must be a good library, composing all standard educational works, historical, biographical, miscellaneous, and books of reference. (4.) There must be a full assortment of scientfiic and chemical apparatus, such as will enable the student to get practical as well as a theoretical knowledge of all scientific studies. (5.) The College must receive a better substantial support from the citizens of Hillsboro and the country immediately adjoining. In view of these facts I hereby tender my resignation as President of Hillsboro Female College and as Professor of Moral Philosophy in same institution, this resignation to take effect June 15, 1888.

Respectfully submitted, W. C. HELT. HILLSBORO, April 10th, 1888. Hon.

Last Thursday was Doctors' Day. Early in the day these learned disciples of Esculapius were seen on our streets exchanging greetings. Local celebrities of this and adjoining counties were noticed "bobbing up serenely" here and there, and it was soon apparent that an unusual happening in medical history was about to occur. Upon investigation it was learned that in addition to the regular annual election of officers of the society arrangements had been completed to celebrate the semi-centennial of the organization's existence. About two hundred invitations bad been sent out in town and the county, and representatives of various professions and avocations were present.

The business portion of the meeting WAS held in the Mayor's office and sisted of the election of officers for the coming year, selection of delegates to the State and National conventions, besides the usual 1 transactions of the society. Dr. R. T. Trimble, of New Vienna, was elected president, and Dr.

Sigel Roush, of this place, was chosen secretary of the association. A committee was selected to escort the newly elected president and secretary to their official chairs when the further election of officers and delegates was completed. The retiring president, Dr. L. M.

Green, then read an excellent paper on "The influence of the mind upon the body in health and disease," after which the meeting adjourned to the City Hall where a sumptuous feast was in waiting. The dinner was furnished by Haynie, the popular caterer, and was served in courses, which with the toasts and responses, occupied about four hours. Dr. H. M.

Brown welcomed the guests to the banquet, after which the following toasts were proposed and responded to: The Charter Members of Highland County Medical Society- us cherish the memory of the past, that we may be remembered by the future." Response by Dr. S. J. Spees. The Medical Society of Highland County as It Now bespeak your earnest attention for whatever is, is worthy of consideration." Response by Dr.

R. T. Trimble. The Medical Society of Highland County of the speak with the lip and dream in the soul of a better and fairer day." Response by Dr. Sigel Roush.

The Ministers- The true conservators of the morals and good citizenship of the country." Response by Rev. D. W. Clark. The Highland County Bar "The law is good if a man use it lawfully." Response by Hon.

C. H. Collins. The who takes the papers and pays his bills when due can live in peace with God and man- -and with the printer too." Response by R. T.

Hough, Esq. welcome the shine, they heighten our joys and lighten our sorrows." Response by Dr. W. J. McSurely.

This ended the programme of one of the greatest meetings of the society. Of the charter members but one lived to witness the semi-centennial of the society's existence. This veteran of the healing art is Dr. S. J.

Spees, who has been a faithful worker in the society for half a century, and the festivities of last Thursday were as much in honor of this sole surviving charter member as anything else. The Highland County Medical Society stands in the foremost ranks of similar organizations, and has the reputation of being a sealous factor in medical progression and advancement, and the celebration last Thursday was an honor to our community.

He had been a faithful member of the E. Church for many years.

He was always ready to give a helping hand to those who needed help. He was a man of very sound judgment, and was one of our leading farmers.
