Physicians, -- Dr. Seth Chaudlar, who located himself at what is now called Minot Centre, was one of the early


The following anecdote is recollected of him :-


Ile called at a tavero and ordered his diunor, after waiting for it outil hla potleuve was exhausted, ho said to tha laudladly, that he expected to pass that wray the Next day, aml would thon stup and eat Iria dinner If It was ready. That proposition imiondiately brought for- ward a dlab of aploy condiment from the isty, but It all uot hava auffeleut effect upon the doctor'a appetite to induce bim to stop until hle dinner was oooked,
