Several cases Of disease of much interest to
the medical profession were reported by diff
fcrent members of the Society, among which
were two cases by DIR. Stedman, with the APP
pearances exhibited in one of them at the post
norton examination. A case was also reported
by DR.. Higginson of chronic enlargement of
the heart terminating in a general dropsy as
revealed by an examination. This organ had
become so enormous by enlargement as scarce
ly to be paralleled, it is believed in the litera-
ture of this now not very uncommon and fatal
disease. Its weight was three pounds-six
times greater than that of healthy adult
heart. Other histories of cases were briefly
narrated after which the Society adjourned to
meet at Townshend on the second Wednesday
of June next.

This is the first town society of the kind es-
tablished in the County il not in the State. and
it has proved eminently successful. The ex-
ample thus set should be followed BY every
town. Such organizations serve wonderfully to
improve the productiveness of the agricultural
interest in every town where they IRE located.
They stimulate inquiry, difiuse information, en-
courage a laudable emulation, excite healthy
ambition among all who interest themselves in
the success of such ae organization. The town
of Wilmington has been well rewarded for this
enterprise.

FRANK WELLS, for several years Teller Of
the bank Of Brattleboro, left lucrative and
pleasant Office last fall TO engage in the service
of his country. Returning to Litchfeld, Conn,
his native place, he has by his energy recruited
a company during the past month"; and with
them joined his regiment at New Haven. The
Litchfeld Enquirer, of the OH inst, says;
"This Company is composed of strong, ro-
bust men, recruited exclusively, we believe
from Ii enfield Country. It's successful organ .
ization Numbering now over sixty mem is due,

From the Fifth.

EE We had the pleasure, day or
two since, at Davenport. ofmeeting with,
and receiving cordial greeting from,
Col. MATHIEs and Adjulant PATTERSON,
of the Iowa Fifth. They reported the
regiment at Corinth, and now in moss
excellent health. Company L. was re
ported fuller in members and in better
condition, than any company in the regi
ment, having suffered less in the battle
OF luka than any other company in that
glorious regiment, Lieut.. WHITE is still
troubled with lameness, and thinks he
will be compelled to resign.
Adjutaut PATTERSON will probably be
transferred to the Lieutenant Coonelcy
of Col, BENroN's regiment, just recog
milton of his bravery and efficiency as an
officer, and worth as a man If this is
done, Lieut.. MARSHALL, who is uniyer
sally popular, both with men and the
officers. will be Adjutant, and G. w.
WAGGoSER, Quartermaster. Both the
Colonel and Adjutant expressed the great
ss. respect for Lieut.. LEWIS, and The
heartest regret at his loss from the re5i
ment. They express the liveiest fears
concerning his condition His wound is
very sensitive and painful. his nervous
system greatly unstrung, and he is also
suffering with darrhea. He is receiv-
ing every care and attention, however,
and il is impossible to remove him. We
found il impossible for us at that time to
go 10 him, but we sincerely hope that
some one of his many friends will
promptly find opportunity to do SO.

we hold you, not only as our Captain but as a

chase these slight tokens OF respect for YOU.
Take them. Captain, aud should YOU have oc

Fatal EFFECT OF FoRrUNr TELr1Ng-A few days
ago in Cincinnati an inquest was held on the body Of
Conrad Walter Young man twenty years of age who
committed suicide by deliberately shooting himself in
the head with pistol Deceased lived with his parents
and was always considered sober, steady and indus
trious boy 1t was given in evidence before the jury
that some years ago he went to fortune teller in the
city to consult about his fate. The syb informed him
grayey that as soon as he arrived the age Of twenty
he would die or be hiled-that he could not possibly
live to the age Of twentone except in state of misery
and woe to which he would prefer death Walter was
twenty years of age couple of weeks since. Happen
ing to be out of employment at the time, he believed
the prediction of the fortune teller was about to be
verified if not as regarded his DEATH at least with
gard to the misery Of his life This it is thought in
duecd to him commit The act of self destruction, as
no other reason can be assigned and such in part
the verdict of the jury. The is certainly sad
comment on the amount Of faith which young people
too often place in the saying Of the unprpcped class
alluded to. ltincInnatl commercial
