The display of pears, especially, was very
fine. Although not quite so extensive in the
number of specimens as the exhibition of the
preceding week, it was greatly superior IN the
quality and condition OF the fruit. Nearly all
were thoroughly ripe. And the opportunity
was thus afforded to those present to test the
flavor of varieties which were new to many,
or which, if nominally familiar, were seldom
before seen under rs favorable circumstances
And, ms it happens that the quality of differ
ent varieties is not the same in successive
years, it becomes all the more important to
study them under their altered conditions
to determine whether they can be honestly
recommended for general cultivation. For
this reason it is to be regretted that the at
tendance at the meetings Of the society is
| essentially unchanged. OF those who contin
ually neglect the opportunity OF profting by
this weekly comparison OF views, how many
there are who would scorn the idea that their
personal attendance could possibly in:re to
their individual benefit. Cent per cent is
doubtless a good thing; but a gain Of the
whole world does not imply exemption from
the necessity or duty of the culture and orna-
mentation Of the sphere on which We live
Hosea Crane of Millbury, was admitted
member of the society, upon the usual con-
ditions.
The library will be open this Thursday,
October 29th, at three o'clock in the after
noon.

HAMILTON CLUB.-The friends of the Men
delssohn Quintette Club will be pleased to
learn that the programme of the concert this
evening is to be enriched with one or two Sc
lections of instrumental music. These, with
the great attraction afforded by the Serenata
of Handel, and the songs by Miss Whiting,
Mrs. Munroe and the quartette, will well re-
ward the large audience which we hope to
see assembled on the occasion. In ''Acis and
Galatea" we have Handel in new phase.
The grand Hallelujah, the outburst of joy and
thankfulness, the plague of fire and hail, the
noise of embattled hosts, the shouts of tri-
umph and victory, are hitherto, almost alone,
associated in our minds with this great name
We may now add the softer recollections of
love and pastoral delights. Let us see the
giant in his gentler mood. ORPHEus.

concerning Applicants Tor PENSIONS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The following or
der has just been issued in relation to evil
dence of military service -
Pension OFFICE, Oct. rs, 1S63.-No volun-
teer or drafted man is deemed to have been in
the United States service unless duly mustered
therein. When mustered in his service is re-
garded as having commenced at the date of
his enrolment. Evidence of such service is
to be sought primarily at the office Of the add
jutant general OF the United States army, and
the rolls of that office when complete are of
the highest authority and cannot be contradict
ed by parole evidence. If there is believed to
be an error therein in any case, evidence in
tended to correct such error must be filed in
that office. When the adjUtant- general re-
ports that the proper returns of muster are
wanting in any case, the evidence will be
sought at the aymastergenerals, and
if not there found, at the office OF the
adiutaHt- general of the state in which
the regiment i'll question was raised.
Evidence of muster obtained from either of
the latter sources, when furnished in requesl
of this Office, will be accepted i'll default ot
evidence from the adjutant general. Evidence
OF mastering out will be regarded as sufficient
in any case, if the date OF the enrolment is
ascertained. If the name of the officer or
soldier is found on the pay rolls after the
proper date Of muster, any further evidence OF
muster will not be required An officer duly
mustered III and afterwards promoted, will be
regarded as holding the rank at which he is
placed on the pay rolls.
Jos. IL. BARRETT, Commissioner.

A HEALTHY DEMONSTRATION. - Political
circles in Bristol county have been the scene
OF lively agitation during the last few days,
growing out of irregular" proceedings in
the county commissioners bureau 1t appears
mat two OF epresent commissioners had mis-
used several hundred dollars of public funds to
covera detalcation of IL former associate on the
board, now deceased. To do this they had
been compelled, without using public MONEYS
to their own personal advantage, to make false
bills, and render false returns. One of these
commissioners, Mr.. Guilford White, came he
fore the republican convention as candidate
for reelection. The facts above Stated were
made known in the convention, but Mr.. White
had friends there, who by plausible coloring
of the ''irregularity" secured his nomination
by bare majority. The healthy public SEN
timent Of the county, however, was more sem
sitive to the purity of its public servants, and
raised such a storm about the ears of the I'M
fortunate candidate that he was compelled to
decline and allow a new nomination to be
made in his stead There is no safety in free
government but in rebuking the first APP
proaches to corruption; and our Bristol coun-
W friends have done well to insist that no
talnt oil 1t should cling to their garments.

Gen. Butler addressed the meeting at
length, taking ground with those who believe
the seeded states have annhilated themselves
us states, while the power of the general gov
eminent still remains intact over their terri
tory. He opposed the position of member
OF the cabinet that the rebel commonwealth
by throwing down their arms, should be Ie-
celved into the Union, with unimpaired rights,
and with their old local institutions. His rea-
sons Tor debating terms, before allowing the
incorporation into the Union of these hostile
sections, sprang from considerations vitality
affecting the interests and safety of the nation.
If the confederate states are re-adInittel and
their representatives take their seats in con-
gress-beiOre some radical change is effected
what guaranty is there that the federal ma
lonal debt will not be repudiated, or made to
stand upon the alternative that TIE confeder-
ate debt must likewise be paid. Let this ques-
ton come before congress, and all the appli-
ances of corruption would be set in motion to
secure such a decision as would place the
federal and rebel Indebtedness upon the same
footing. General Butler commended that ike
rebel states must be regarded as destroyed, or
1t would be almost impossible to choose anoth-
er president, for tho reason that no candidate
likely to be selected would receive such
support in the north as to give him a majority
OF the whole electoral college, constituted of
all the states both loyal and rebel. Transfer
the question to the house of representatives
where each commonwealth casts only one
vote, and ma ority of such votes is required
and the difficulty will be greatly increased
The policy of safety and Justice was to re
store the Union in the south only as fast as
the principles OF freedom and loyalty are ex-
tended over the now rebel domain.

MLFoRD.-Last Thursday United States
marshal Stone of Boston undertook to arrest
a man named Barnard German for dealing in
liquor without government license. Cor
man used his club SO valiantly that the arrest
was not made, The next night Stone, assist
ed by officer Warren, again made the attempt
to arrest the culprit. After some slight skir-
mishing, officer Warren drew his pistol, and
inhicting wound in Germans leg, soon
brought him to terms. He was taken before
the United States commissioner and held in
the sum Of $500 for assaulting the officer,
and in $500 for violation of the revenue law,
