ST. ALBANS ITEMS. The Congregational church was 'filled with large audience Sunday forenoon, to listen to Mr. Riggs discourse on the death of the late Hon. Brainerd.

The text was Job. y. 26: "Thou shalt come to thy grace in a full age, like as shock of corn Cometh in in his season." The discourse was highly appropriate to the occasion. From the beautiful figure of the text, the speaker drew the plan of his discourse. Human life was regarded as a planting of the Lord in the world.

Here it must germinate, grow and ripen into per fect fruit. This figure was represented in all its various phases, and the deceased was instanced as presenting a noble example of mature fruit. The discourse contained a carefully written bio graphical sketch and a fine analysis of the char acter of Mr. Brainerd, aud closed with the com- n'etion of the metaphor in which the harvest of this fruitage was appropriately described. St.

Albans Lodae. No. 32, 1. O. G.

T. has sus tained a great loss in the death of Willard Eelbert Bronson. son of Mr. W. H.

Bronson of this town. The deceased died last Friday even- ing, after a oner illness or one wees, mis iune- ral was attended Sunday afternoon from his father's residence. The religious exercises were conducted by the Rev. A. L.

Cooper, pastor of the M. E. Church, and were in the usual order both at the house and the grave. At the request of the parents of the deceased, his brother and sister templars attended the funeral. Many of the members of the order, from Rising Sun Lodge, St.

Albans Bay, were in attendance with the members of St. Albans Lodge. The funeral procession was led by S. S. Bedard, chief con ductor, and consisted of about 80 carriages.

The pall-bearers were his brother templars, A. II Stone, S. C. Greene, E. W.

Bordo, Geo. Story, Geo. Curtis and William Place. When the procession reached Lake street, op posite Good Templars' Hall, it was joined by a procession of about 200 members of the order, in regalia, led by Col. R.

C. Benton, W. C. and marshaled by James A. Chamberlin and Miss Nellie Williams.

After this addition the proces- ion was about a mile in length. The deceased was buried in the new cemetery, ana at the grave the beautiful and impressive burial service of the Good Templara' Ritual was read by W. A. Cooper, acting Chaplain. Appropriate music was furnished by the choir of the lodge, led by Mr.

Lyon. This is the first time the lodge has appeared at a funeral, and its fraternal character was beautifully shown, and a favorable impression was made on the public generally. VERMONT XEAVS.

Mr. Fox, was presented with a fine silver tea set. As a block of marble, weighing some eight tons, was recently being drawn across the bridge over Castleton in Fair Haven, the structure gave way, precipitating the block, wagon, oxen and driver upon the rocks below. The accident resulted in no loss of life. Mishacl Maloney, the driver, was so badly stunned and scared as to go into a swoon, but his injuries were only slight The only injury to the oxen was a few scratches and strains, laming them for a little time.

The bridge was about 15 feet above the rocks and the river bed. W. J. Mills, late of the firm of Mills Williams, Fair Haven, now of Ottawa, Canada, where he had just commenced the business of marbleizing slate, was burned out recently, at a loss of between $3,000 and $4,000. WINDSOR COrNTT.

Edward Cliffoid Bliss, second son of Abner Bliss, of Georgia, died at San Marciel, State of Sonora, Mexico, June 2d, 1869, aged 38 years." He resided in California from 1851 to 1861, when he enlisted in Company 5th California infantry, and served three years in Arizona, where he was duly discharged.

Attempt ing to cross Mexico during the French occu pancy he was taken prisoner and held for a season. On being discharged he took up his resi dence at San Marciel. As a citizen and a soldier he was respected by all.but by his more immediate associates, especially esteemed for his many genial qualities. He leaves a family, but in re gard to it we have no special information. PERSONAL.

Our former townsman, Col. John R. Lewis, who lost an arm at the battle of the Wilderness while in command of the 5th Vermont, has been placed on the retired list of army officers, with the full rank of Colonel of Infantry. The order for his retirement directs that Col. Lewis' name be placed upon the list of retired officers of that class in which the disability results from long and faithful service, or from wounds or injury received in the line of duty.

It is considered worth telegraphing that Sena tor Ames, of Mississippi, is staying in Lowell at the house of Ben. Butler, and that his marriage with Blanche Butler takes place prob ably in July. The death of Theadore Cay, son of Henry Clay, is announced. He had been an inmate of Lexington Lunatic Asylum for fifty years. Col.

E. B. Sawyer has retired frOm the editor ship of the Lamoille Newsdealer. He says in his valedictory that the business has been an agreeable one, and as profitable as he anticipated, which is more than most country newspaper editors and publishers can say. Others can say for him that the Newsdealer was decidedly improved under his care.

The paper goes back into hands of its former publisher, Mr. C. C. Morse. At the recent Brothers Freshman prize debate at Yale College on the question Should new political party be formed on the basis of labor reform the second prize was awarded to E.

Case 1. Little girl, chronic inflammation of the knee joint, from some cause unknown to us. The proper remedy in this case is 4o produce ex tension ot the leg Dy toe application ot the ad hesive strap, cord and pulley. After we have succeeded in straightening the limb, a plaster-of-paris splint will be needed to keep the limb immovable. Case 2.

Little girl. This patient is a youne eirl who two years age was severely burned about the chin, cheeks and left hand. The un der lip is drawn down by cicatrix, and a plastic operation is advised for its relief. The little fin ger is so much distorted as to be at right angles to the left hand. Patient etherized, finjrer re moved.

Cask 3. Boy, age 9. Enchondroma of right side of inferior maxillary. The history of this case shows probably that it is not cancerous in its nature. In order to make sure of our diagnosis, we will introduce a grooved needle, and watch the character of the fluid.

This is bloody scrum, common in enchondroma. Before operating for the removal of this mass, we will put the boy upon a nutritious diet, iron, quinine, etc. in order to build up his constitution and the better enable him to undergo the operation necessary. The case is a doubtful one, but an operation is the only thing indicated. Patient directed to present tnmseir in or four weeks, for lurther examination and treatment.

Case 4 Fred. aged 12 years Exostosis of bu uteris. This patient has always been quite healthy, and is now generally, with the exception of a hard tumor easily felt upon the upper portion of the humeris, near its head. This tumor was discovered when he was but six months old, and has grown with the boy. The brachial artery is plainly discernable pulsating over the tumor, and the question is, could the operation be performed without injuring this vessel.

The tumor has caused the osibrachi to become bent, and of course its power is injured. The probability is that the arm will have to be taken off at the shoulder joint, especially if the disease! bone extends up to the joint. Before operating we should wish it understood that we might take the limb off at the joint, if upon examination we find the disease extending too far toward the scapular. Case 5. Mrs.

P. age 31. We find this patient coming to us with a tumor of the size of an egg, under the left ear, and enquiry into its history, we find that a similar one formerly appeared in the median line, but applications of ointments and lotions caused this to disappear. Her 'general health is fair, but she has a baby three months old, and it is evident that she is being debilitated by lactation. A grooved needle introduced shows that flaky pus had commenced forming and the tumor will end in an abcess.

Our treatment will be first to wean the child, poultices applied to the part, and a mixture containing Quinine, nux vomica and simple syrup to be taken three times a day. Cask 6. Mary 9 years of age. We learn from the mother of this child that this tumor commenced to show itself about three months ago, and it was then the size of a pin. From the pallor of the skin, the pulse being at SO, and the presence of a peculiar whistling sound while the child is sleeping, I should diagnose bronchocele and advise the use of Redsod of Mercury, ointment externally, and Syrups of the Iodides of Iron and Lime internally.

Case 7. Tbos. Hennesy, 70 jears old, Rheumatism. This patient has had the symptoms of rheumatism well marked in his case, and he now comes tons, with a concentrated form of his disease in his left knee. A prescription consisting of Iod.

of Potassa, Co. Tinct Cinchona and simple syrup was written, with the additional recommendation of gin in small quantities, col-chicum seeds and Dovers powder occasionally Epsom salts when necessary. Case 8. Mary Westford Strabismus We see here that the right eye is turned in toward the nose through excessive contraction of internal rectus.the external rectus however is not paralyzed. This condition is due to a relative change in the refractive power of the eyes, the affected eye being turned out of its natural po-sitionin order not to complicate the vision of the best eye.

The relief is, to be sought in the division of the internal rectus musole and the employment of lenses calculated to equalize the focal distance of the two eyes. The parents concluded to delay the operation. Cask 9. Willie Neal, aged 16 mo. This is a case of Talapes varus, with the feet being turned in.

This condition depends on an enfeebled or partly paralyzed condition of the peroneal muscles. The muscles of the anterior or inner portion of the foot continuing to act with their usual power, and there being nothing to antagonize them, the foot is displaced inward. The patient being under the influence of an anaesthetic, the tendo Achillis being very rigid, was divided in both feet. Adhesive strips and roller bandages were applied to draw the feet into proper position aud the patient directed to return for further treatment. Case 10.

G. W. Aimes, aged 45, Westford, clergyman. Has been troubled with hemorrhage from nose, and gums, also from lungs as he supposes. Not much cough.

Expectorates tenacious mucus. Blood dark colored, appetite poor, pulse soft and full. He has the idea that he will have phthisis, but there are several signs wanting in his ease. The blood is dark instead of the bright red blood of phthisis. He has no night sweats, and percussion shows but very little FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS ECO Washington, May 10.

repeaieu an taxes on gross receipts of railroad, insurance and other nornorntinna anA Llnrlo of business, with the exception of lotteries, thea- ires, anu places oi pu one amusement, oXC. The whole of such taxes produced last year $8,444,. 210, and the reduction now proposed was estimated at $6,109,617 and all tax on sales was taken off, except that assessed on dealers in liquors, which would make a further reduction of $8,197,984. REDUCTION OF SPECIAL TAXES. It reduced all special taxes except on retail and wholesale dealers in liquors, distillers, rectifiers, manufacturers of stills, brewers, manufacturers of tobacco and cigars, dealers in Ietf tobacco banks and bankers, stocks and money brokers, foreign commercial brokers, proprietors of places of public amusement, and of gift enterprises; jugglers, proprietors of bowling alleys and billiard rooms, lottery managers and dealers in lottery tickets.

It reduced the special tax on the keepers of hotels, inns and taverns to $10, if not exceeding the rental value of $500, adding $3 for each $100 for rental beyond $500. The reduotion thus made would amount to $8,744,752. TUG INCOME TAX. It modified the income tax, so as to increase the exemption to $1,500, having the per oentage the same, five per cent. This would effect a reduction of It changed the law in effect to incomes, so that persons having less than $1,500 income shall not be required to make return and there shall be no publication of income.

SCHENCK ON THE TARIFF BILL. Mr, Schenck submitted a resolution in reference to the tariff bill that motion to close a debate on all the paragraphs embraced in one general Eubject shall be in order. He said he did not suppose the tariff bill would be. passed so aa to become a law this session, but he did not suppose if any action on it by the House was postponed until next session there would be no final action at all this Congress. If tha House should act finally on it this session, it would be sent to the Senate and referred to the finance committee there, and would finally come up next December, and become law by the 3d of March, 1871.

After considerable discussion the motion was agreed to under suspension of the rules. Mr. Dawes, chairman of the committee of appropriations, moved to go into committee on the naval appropriation bill, and moved all prior orders be postponed until after completion of all appropriation bills now in committee, Mr. Schenck protested against the latter motion, but it was agreed to, the House thus virtually postponing the tariff bill indefinitely." Mr. Bingham moved to suspend the rules in order that he might report from the judidiary committee and have passed the bill to enforce the right of citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of this Union who have hitherto been denied that right on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.

The rules were suspended and the bill passed; yeas 131, nays 44. Adjourned. WASHINGTON XEWS. Washington, May16. A NEW BOUNTY BILL.
