Homœopathy in University of Michigan.-At a meeting of the Board of Regents June 28, Regent Willard read a petition from 53 members of the House of Representatives and 12 members of the Senate, in which the claims of homoeopathy were fully set forth, and their desire that the Regents should at once comply with a law passed in '58, by appointining a professor of the homœopathic school to a position in the University, plainly stated. Referred.

Regent Walker also read a paper from certain members of the homœopathic school, residing in Detroit and vicinity, in which they stated that their desire was not to have a professor appointed to a chair of homoeopathy in the University at Ann Arbor, but that a school of homœopathy might be established in Detroit as a branch or a part of the University. Gentlemen in Detroit would use their best endeavors to raise $30,000 if the Regents would consent to the establishment of such a branch and would come forward with their aid.

After reading this memorial, Regent Walker offered the following resolution.

Resolved, That in response to the memorial of L. M. Mason, Chas. Merrill and others, proposing a sum of money or its equivalent toward the erection and conduct of a homœopathic medical school at Detroit, connected with the University, this Board, when duly authorized by law to establish such a school, will gladly receive such gifts and apply the same to the purposes mentioned provided the State or individuals furnish sufficient funds for properly conducting such an institution.

This resolution, after considerable discussion, was laid upon the table, on motion of Regent Willard.

At the meeting of the Board of Regents, held at Ann Arbor on July 11 1871. On motion of Regent Walker, the resolution in regard to a medical school, under the auspices of the University at Detroit, and under the immediate superintendence of homoeopathic physicians, which was tabled at the last meeting of the Board, was taken up.

Dr. Ellis, a homeopatic physician from Detroit, was invited to address the board. The doctor in his remarks set forth the advantages which he though must accrue from a school of homoeopathy connected with the University and situated in Detroit. He closed by offering a resolution which he desired the board to pass, but which they did no see fit to do.

Regent Walker moved the passage of the resolution, as it was taken from the table. After remarks by Regent Willard, against any such way of settling the homeopathic question as that proposed by the resolution, and discussion by other members, a motion, by Regent Stockwell, to lay the resolution upon the table, till some further session of the board, was passed.

Subsequently the resolution was again taken up, discussed and lost.

NECROLOGICAL.

Oppolzer. On the 16th of April 1871 Doctor Johann Oppolzer, Professor at the University at Vienna, and one of the most celebrated physicians and teachers of our time, died of spotted typhus after a brief illness. The deceased was born on the 3d of August 1808 at Gratzec, Böhmen, of poor parents. His father held the position of steward in the service of the Count Bucquoi. It required the greatest sacrifice and self denial of the parents, to enable them to send the bright and intelligent lad to the college or high school at Prague. This was the last offering of the devoted parents for soon thereafter father and mother died shortly after one another. Young Oppolzer now found himself in the most straightened circumstances. He however supported himself during his student period by teaching. With much difficulty, sorrow and discouragement Oppolzer worked himself along. After pursuing the required course of medical studies he in 1835, took his degree. The title of his dissertation was "De Febri nervoso intestinalı, vuego typho abdominali anno 1834 Pragae epidemica in nosocomio generali observata." He immediately thereafter became busied in the labors of Assistant at the chirurgical clinique under Prof. Dr. Fritz, and after this at the medical clinic under Prof. Dr. Krombholz.

In 1838 Oppolzer began his private practice in Prague, and in this he was most successful. He soon acquired a high reputation and a large practice. After nearly three years of practice Oppolzer received a call to the chair of Professor of Medicine and Chief Physician of the general Hospital (Allgemeinen Krankenhaus) at Prague. The gathering from all parts of Europe to his lectures was simply immense. In 1848 he received a call to the Leipsic high school (of medicine) as Professor of the clinic; and it was here that he was busy and diligent as teacher, physician and Medical director of the Jacobs Hospital. With much pride he received the call in 1856 to the Vienna University, and from this time on he labored as teacher and physician. His reputation as Consulting Physician spread over all Europe. He was the recipient of numerous decorations and honors from different monarchs.

Barrett.-Charles B. Barrett jr. M. D., died at the residence of his father-in-law, Dr. Edwin A. Lodge, at Detroit June 5, 1871, aged 25 years.

Dr. Barrett had been practicing at Ionia Michigan since March 1870. In January last he was thrown from his sleigh, about 12 feet, not receiving any severe external injuries but a short time afterwards had hemorrhage of the lungs; from this time he commenced to decline, complications of the heart and glands of bowels supervening. We visited him at Ionia on the 4th of May,finding his ailments much more serious than we anticipated. He supposed that if he was under our care at Detroit we could succeed in restoring him in a few weeks. We were much grieved to be obliged to dissipate such hope.

He came home and received the kind attention of many friends. When he became conscious that he could live but a short time he longed for release from the tabernacle of clay. He earnestly desired to go home-to be with

Jesus. On Lord's day afternoon June 4, he partook of the Communion singing:

"Beyond the smiling and the weeping

I shall be soon.

Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping,
I shall be soon.

Love, rest and home!

Sweet Home.

Lord, tarry not, but come, etc., etc.

The Lord tarried not. Ere the dawn of another day he took his spirit to be with him. "Where I am there shall my servant be."

Dr. Bliss, of Washington.-Advertiser and Tribune of July 12 says "Dr Bliss so well known in this State, has been expelled from the Medical Association of the District of Columbia-ostensibly because he met in consultation with another physician at Washington, who is of the "regular" school, but who holds a position upon the Board of Health with a homeopathic practitioner, but really because he has been an ardent advocate of the admission of colored physicians into the Association. We congratulate the Doctor on his release from a fellowship that could not have been any honor to him, and advise him to frame his resolution of expulsion and hang it with his diplomas and other evidences of professional good standing."
