OBITUARY. 
of his own life chiefly furnished. One of some point may 
be related here. The late vicar of Sheffield, the Rev. Dr. 
Sutton, once said to him — “ Mr. Peech, how is it you have 
not called upon me for your account?” “ Oh,” said Mr. 
Peech, “ I never ask a gentleman for money.” £< Indeed,” 
said the vicar, £{ then how T do you get on if he don’t pay ? ” 
“ Why,” replied Mr. Peech, (e after a certain time I con- 
clude that he is not a gentleman, and then I ask him ! ” By 
the medical profession of his native town, Mr. Peech was 
looked upon as one of their own body, and with many of them 
he was on terms of the closest intimacy . — Sheffield Times . 
To the death of Mr. Peech we have to add that of another 
respected member of our profession, Mr. G. Watts, jun., of 
Dublin. Mr. Watts’ diploma bears the date of May, 1825. 
At the special request also of a correspondent, we readily 
give insertion to the following account of the death of M. 
Herr Sticker, a Prussian veterinary surgeon of some repute 
in Cologne. M. Sticker was in frequent correspondence 
with us, with reference to the extension of pleuro-pneumonia; 
and the means adopted in this country to limit its spread, 
a subject in which he took the deepest interest. 
<£ Herr Sticker, department veterinary surgeon, died at his 
residence in Cologne, in September last, at the age of 45. He 
was highly esteemed as a private practitioner, and a great 
favorite also with the Prussian government. As the official 
organ of the government, he was the author of several pam- 
phlets on the different epizootics which prevailed in his dis- 
trict, and was likewise a warm advocate for the inoculation 
of cattle for the prevention of pleuro-pneumonia.” 
Sudden Deaths.— M r. James Fishwick, veterinary 
surgeon, died very suddenly at his residence in Curzon- 
street, Oldham, on Thursday, January the 1st. This is the 
sixth case of sudden death which has occurred in the town 
during the week.
