The following sketch of Dr. Wight has been printed--in the opening se ntence refers to his grandfather, Joseph Wight. Ann refers to the wi fe of Barclay Wight. After his death his diary, which he had kept for many years, wa s examined, and the following entry was found: "Oct. 5th, 1834, col d and windy. Ann has got a boi, O Lord have mercy on us!" Ann was h is daughter-in-law, with whom he then lived, and the boy was the subj ect of the present sketch, who with a hearty relish always enjoys rel ating the circumstances. Like many others who have cut their way through the world, hi s literary advantages were limited, but he made the most of his oppor tunities at the public and high schools, till he was qualified to tea ch both the public and the singing schools in the vicinity. With a v oice of unusual power, he was able by this means to enter upon the st udy of medicine in 1856, under the instruction of F. D. Lord, of Casc o, Me., and Prof. T. A. Childs, of Pittsfield, Mass. He entered th e Maine Medical School, at Brunswick, Me., where he passed through th ree full terms, and one term at the Berkshire Medical School, at Pitt sfield, Mass., and part of one term at the Harvard Medical School. H e spent a year longer than it was necessary to graduate, in the stud y of surgery, and was made prosecutor in both of the former schools , in which he acquitted himself with much credit.
