'l'hc family arrived herc June 2Oth, and was the first Germán fam lly tosettle In Ann Arbor; they had many privations. It was at this time that the subject of our sketch was the mcans of influeticitip: a large part of Wurtemberg Germán population to settle in Washtenaw County. After arrlving here, he wrotc a long letter to an unele in Stuttgart dt'scribing the country. This letter so much pleascd his unele that bc had it published in the Schwaeblsahcr Merkur, one of the most nfluential papers published in Wurtemberg. In consequence of this letter, for years after Germans from that part nf the country carne direct to Ann Arbor on landing in America. At one time a party of seventy-three souls arrived and were cared for by the Mann family till they found places to work or land to cultívate. He operated a tannery for some years, and then associated himself with his couain, Mr. Christian Eberbach in the drug business, and for the next two years he was a partner of his brother iii-law, August Hutzel, in the iniiits, oil and glass business. He then established himself In the drug business which is still continued by his sons Eugene and Albert Mann. He was a man of unusually wide range of readlng which he thoroughly understood and reasoned upon, and there were few subjects apon which he was not well posted and upon which he could not express his views. His careful and correct business habits and etrict integrity secured him the confidence of all. For three years he served as alderman, and was for some time a member of the board of education in this city.

The Item, In a recent Issue, about the ill treatment of a certain patiënt wlio carne to the University hospital to be treated, haa created quite a stir. It seems from investigaron that the facts are as tollows: A gentleman carne from PeMskey, slum? wei ks since, with liig wife and son, bringing the latter for treatment, for curvature of the spine. The partid carne here on excursión rates, and could only remain the limit, and they were obliged to return home before their son could be treatrd. The statement as lirst glveii us was that they were poor people and could ill afford to remain here the weekorten dayg which theydid. Thls 8eems to be dispelled from the fuct that the party Is the keeper of a hotel at Petoskey, a summer resort, and all such people should be very ricb, so tourists who have paid their charges, ver. In fact he was willing to pay well for the euccesuful treatmeot of his child. Dr. Frothinjrham tells us that there are so many patients at the hospital tliat each one must walt the order in which they come.unless it sacase needinglinrnediate attentlon, which is always given. Tfcll purticular case, he says, was of six years etanding, and in no mniediate Imrry ; in in fuct could have been treated (niite as well by physieians right at the gentleman's home. The Doctor further tel Is us in reply to tde statement that one ot the fuculty had made arrangement to meet the gentleman, that it could not have been true,as such arrangements are never made by any member of the medical faculty. They are too busy, and could not possibly teil a few hounj ahead where they would h:ive to be or what demand might bc made for their cervices. It is stili further alleged, and has erery ap pearance of bein;; true, that the University hospital Is more satlsfactorily conducted now than it has been for years.
