The sem-annual meeting of the Connect
icut River Valley Medical Association was
held in this village at Wiahtman's Hall, on
Wednesday last. About 80 physicians we're
present. The number present was probably
not as large as would have been but for the
meeting of the State Association which was
held at Montpelier yesterday, though quite
a number attended who were not present
last June, showing an increased interest in
the Association.
The Association was called to order by
the president, Prof f. f. Phelps of Wind
sor, and an address was delivered by DR..
Weber of Char.esiown. He spoke off
hand and delivered very acceptable ad-
dress. We were called away and heard
small part of it ONLY, hut the drift seemed
TO be the general bearing and conduct Of
physicians towards each other.
Prof Phelps then occupied half hour
in an address Of much merit and ability, ON
the duties Of ihe medical profession toward
each other. II was an important question
how the profession could do each other the
most good. There were some eloquent
passages in the address. exhibiting the finer
feelings, and it WIS listened 10 with strict
attention by his audience.
Next was the reading of the Report of
the Secretary, DIR. II. f. Grain of Spring
field, which was approved, and the session
adjourned till p. VI.
In the afternoon the first business was
the admission of quite number of new
members.
DR.. Campbell Of Saxioas River. then
read an interesting paper on surgery, which
was discussed by the members, and on mem

DIR Simond-r aiso.of sax'onf River. but
he was .suddealy e,lled away to attend

TINES recently of burning the lungs &c.
of deceased person, in order to destroy

occurred in the north part of Lu low, some
% years since. In that case the corpse
was disinterred, the lungs taken out and
burnt, and member of the family who
had the consumption stood over the smoke
while it was burning This person and

died of the consumption, of course; and it
is strange that any one should believe in
