THE HosPITAL.-On Wednesday afternoon
of last week there was pleasant gathering at
the hospital grounds il this village. The Band
which has been recently organized in this state
for the First Brigade of Vermont troops, and
which was mustered into service day or two
previous, was present and discoursed sweet and
stirring music under the guidance of Mr.. Ad-
ans their skiIlul and accomplished leader. Mr.
Miles too with his fine company of lads num-
bering about thirty-fve was present. The ex-
hibition of his company was very creGitabc
both to Mr. Miles and his pupils. They went
through with the various movements, drill
skrmishing, &C., with great accuracy and
promptness. These lads will be well fitted
when of Il suitable age to do good service to
their country on the battle field, should the war
continue so long. This feature of Mr.. Mes's
school adds greatly 70 its value, -4srt with its
other excellencies makes it a first class school
for the education of boys. The Fire Engine
Company Mazeppa was also present on the
occasion, and showed, as they have often done
before, their skill and power in throwing water
10 II Sle"l HelSh'. Inc engine was drawn ny
four white horses, decorated by the stars ant
stripes and all together made a very handsome
appearance The procession as it marched
through our streets and up to the parade grount
was spectacle pleasant to behold and attracted
much attention. DIR. Phelps seemed mucl
gtatifed by this visit to his hospital, and enter
tanned his guests in Il manner highly graifyin,
to their tastes. There was a crowd of specta
tors who appeared highly delighted with wba
they saw and heard.

A correspondent of the Wheeling Intelligent
Ger, writing from Webster Taylor county, Yves
tern Virginia. says of the recent incursion of
the rebel cavalry:
"The raid is over. The rebel chieltains,
Jones, lmboden, Jackson and jenkins, have
been permitted to lead their ten or twelve thou
sand maurauding thieves over large portion
of the new State almost without molestation or
opposition. They have swept over the counties
of Hardy, Hampshire, Preston, Tucker, Ran
dolph, Barbour, Monongahela, Marion, Taylor,
Harrison, Lewis, Doddridge, Richie, Peasants,
Tyler. Wood, Writ, Gimer, Calhoun, Brexton,
Nichols, Pocahontas and Greenbiier, and per-
haps other counties further to the west and
south not yet heard from.
As this large force of men and horses depen.
ded entirely upon the country through which it
passed for subsistence, the poor people in many
parts OF the country are stripped for the time
being OF the neces, aries of life, and will find il
hard to procure enough to live on, and con-
sequently much suffering must result Wheat
fields were generally closely grazed by their
horses, and it is fair 10 conclude that this will
materially diminish the yield of the growing
crop, perhaps one-thrd. A great many farms
were stripped of fencing, and the crops thus
exposed will be entirely lost. Thousands OF
farmers were left without horses. and are thus
disabled from raising crop. The damage in
fiicted on the railroads is also very considera-
ble."

The North Adams Transcript tells a hard
story concerning the death of Lewis Leonard,
of that town, member of the Thirty-seventh
Massachusetts regiment. He was attacked by
rheumatism, and fell out by the way on the
march, and when he crawed into camp, he was
stripped and washed with cold water, and COM
PEELED to stand in the severe weather three
hours, upon barrel. He was unable from this
exposure to move next morning, and the sur
geons heat a Ratchet and burned him all over
his body. He died the same day this cruel APP
plicaion was made. The excuse his tormen-
tors make for their crime is that they thought
he was ieigning illness to escape duty.

have to say, that the proviso to the DIST Sec
ton ofthe act of March Sd, declares that upon
such portion or income as is derived from

and effect to this special provision of law, when

deducted from that portion of income which is
subject to duty of 3 or per cent, before
trenching upon that portion which is subject to
l-2 per cent, as derived from United States
