MR. RICHARD TAYLOR. THE town of Whickham, in Durham, has sustained a loss by the death of Mr. Richard Taylor, on the 5th of February, from typhus fever. The deceased gentleman was mainly educated at Guy’s, but derived his chief professional qualifications from Edinburgh, where, in 1858, he obtained the diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons, and, in 1860, that of the Royal College of Physicians by examination. He was connected with several scientific societies, and was rapidly advancing to success as a practitioner, when death cut him down, at the early age of thirty-seven. severe

MOUTH.-After forty-four years of assiduous and successful practice in Weymouth and its neighbourhood, Mr. Fox has retired from the profession; a step which has just been made the occasion of a handsome acknowledgement of his services. On Saturday, an influentially constituted meeting assembled in the Royal Hotel, in Weymouth, under the presidency of Charles Hambro, Esq., M.P., who, in appropropriate and eulogistic terms, presented to Mr. Fox-a massive silver salver ; an elegant drawing-room time-piece ; a silver sugar basin ; a purse containing 250 sovereigns ; and a handsomely bound book, with the names of the subscribers to the testimonial and of the committee. The inscription on the salver bore testimony to the regret with which a number of old friends and patients witnessed Mr. Fox’s retirement from the profession; and also to their sense of the unwearied attention and the great skill with which he had pursued his practice for forty-four years, particularly in connexion with the County of Dorset and Weymouth Royal Eye Infirmary. Mr. Fox made an eloquent and imI reply; and laid particular stress on the blessing which had followed his services, gratuitously vouchsafed to the poor. Even in a material point of view he had had the reward of a leading metropolitan physician, who crept over the backs of the poor into the pockets of the rich."
