ANECDoTE.- of the male inmates OF
the Lunaic Asylum at Bratleboro, are often
seen passing through the streets of the village,
engaged in various kinds of labor, some with
the implements of their work upon their Shout
ders, others driving teams, etc. The farming
department of the Asylum keeps good cattle,
and nothing is more common than to see Sc
rious- visaged maniac driving a yoke of them
through the village.
Brattleboro is also great resort for summer
visitors. One bril- hit morning n gentleman
visitor who had just arrived, sailed out into
the streets to enjoy the fresh mountain air
when seeing, as he thought, farmer with a
fine yoke of oxen. and feeling in good humoI
towards all men, he said to the supposed far.

"Ah, yes. sir" replied the driver, "b,t they
are not what they used TO be. Why, sir. car

MIs. CHARLES 7. DUDLEY,
Dear Madam AS a
tribute OF respect to your late husband, Major
Charles p. Dudley, and as testimonial OF my
appreciation Of the eminent services which he
has rendered to his country. | have thought
proper to direct Commission to be issued to
him, ante-dated, promoting him to the
Lieutenant Colonclcy rf his regiment, the 9th
VT. Vols, left vacant by the promotion Of Lieut..
Col. Lewis to the Colonelcy of that regiment.
The commission herewith enclose.
While these complimentary honors can in no
sense affect him, nor assuage the grief which
you must feel at loss so irreparahle, they may
yet, in some slight degree, tend to show the
true estimate with which brave and gallan,
officer was held by his State, 10 whose service
and that of his country he so freely gave hi
life.
Accept, ma(am for yourself my kindly sym.
pa;hy in this the hour Of your bereavement
and believe me tobe,
Most cordially,
Your friend,

THE L. S. CHRISTIAN CoMMIssIoN.--The
good work which is being performed amongst
our soldiers, both in camp and in hosp.
tails, by this organization, were well Illustrated
in the recent lectures given here by Two
delegates of the Commission, and the claim
made on our benevolence in this behalf must
be admitted. The published circular Of the
Commission, says; "The wants of the Com
mission are men TO go as delegates; stores to
be distributed by them; money TO purchase
reading matter" This latter item, it was re-
marked by one Of the delegates who was here,
would perhaps most naturally come from a
community like ours, where the articles Of ma
terial comfort for the soldiers have already long
gone forward through the channel of the SAM
tary Commission.
Inquiry has been made by our citizens. how
such contributions would reach the Commits

it clothes him; it finds him ignorant and 1t
makes him wise; ii 6uds him weak, aud it
makes him strong; it finds him hungry, and
it feeds him on bread that comes down
from heaven; it finds him thirsty, and gives
him to drink of the waters OF life; il finds
wanderer, and brings him to his fathers

in prison and sets him at liberty; it finds
him weary, and it gives him rest: it finds
him in disgrace, and it makes him honor
