On Thursday of last week, Barnum's
American Museum was Totally consumed
BY fire. The loss of this establishment is
of national Importance, for the collection
of curiosities embraced relics and wonders
from all parts of the country, and many
Of the greatest rarity from every continent
on the globe. 1t was peculiarly Ameri-
can in many features, for here were orig
inal portraits Of Statesmen and Generals
long since dead, relics of Revolutionary
times, wonders OF Yankee ingenuity and
a. collection of American Geological Spc-
cimens equalled by none in the land.
Besides these there were talking Seals,
live Whales, perpetual motions, fabulous
Mermaid, and that paradox, whistle
made Of pigs tail. The Aquaria sur
passed IN the variety of its specimens, the
celebrated collections of London and
Paris. There was hardly species from
the Devoniau Ganoids to the Modern
Perch that was not represented, but they
are now out of their tanks into the fire
1t cost $1,O0O,0OO to make this collec-
ton of cur iosities. and of course many can
be replaced, but it will be a work of time
and require an enormous outlay.
Our readers will remember that few
years ag', MIR. Barnum lost colossal for
tune in his engagements with the Jerome
Clock Company, and fortune had begun
to smile on him again when this second,
almost equal, calamity occurs. But the
resources of his Gerius are proverbal, and
we hope soon to hear Of him started on
another prosperous career. The Museum
was indispensable TO a certain portion of
the community who wanted to avoid the
odium Of theatre, but objected only to
the name. On Wednesday, Barnum re-
marked il the Conn. Legislature that he
paid tax on an income of $4,000;
twenty-iour hours later, the source of
that income was in ruins, thus tickle is the
favor of fortune. ...t

Vermont Medical Society.

We notice that the semi-annual session
of the VI. Medical Society convened on
the 2Sth ult., at Stowe.
The President DR.. o. i. Fassett of
Berkshire, called the assembly 10 order,
after which the meeting was opened with
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Ford of Stowe.
1t was wisely and happily suggested by
the President in his cougratulatory address,
that fitting tribute should be paid TO that
noble corps of Vt surgeons who have so
efficiently performed their work on so
many Southern battle-felds to the relief
of 30 many sons of Vermont The graft
tude of saved life can only really feel
the true worth of an able physician. But
it is pleasing to find that true politeness
and harmony among the profession, that
grects the return Of their medical brothers
with expressions of appreciation.
Perhaps that most interesting to physi-
clans was the presentation by DIR Chand-
Ter of st. Albans, Of two photographs ia
ken from lie Of enormous Hypeltrophy oi
mama, one of which measured three feet
two inches in circumference the other an
inch or two less and estimated to weigh
forty-eight pounds.
The evening session WIS devoted to a
discussion upon cancer, with especial re-
ference to physicians preventing by appro-
pirate treatment, the cases OF cancer and
cancroid tumors coming under their OBJ
servation, from passing into the hands OF
the so-called 'cancer doctors" %. 8.
AT late hour after an interesting and
profitable session the meeting adjourned.

Mr.. John Bright has issued his addres
to the electors of Birmingham. lie de-
clares in most emphatic language. that
the Parliament about TO expire has been
disloyal to its pledges. and that the Minis
try which climbed into office on pretense
OF devotion 10 the cause of reform, has
violated its most solemn pledge For
himself he claims TO be held free of any
share in betrayal of the popular trust.
and he expresses hope that the coming
elections will show that the cause of free
dom, based on true representation of the
people, is advancing irresistably 10 tri-
umph.
Mr.. Bright and John Stuart Mill, who
is also candidate, the ablest thinker in
England and foremost among the ardent
friends Of reform, will undoubtedly I've
returned. The great stake at issue in the
coming English elections is the franchise.
The vast majority of Englshmen arc sim
ply political parlahs, and Messrs. Mill
ana bright demand that the Parliament
open their doors TO them; the former
holds the opinion that every individual.
without regard to condition or sex, should
have voice in making the laws which
he IL to obey. Such sentiments OF any,
thing approaching them, cannot for years,
OF course, obtain a majority in tho Eng
llsh House, but a radical minority can
equalize the suffrage which is sadly need
ed in fact ii is based on no principle at
all, and this will be the first step towards
sweeping away the deep-rooted aristocra-
tic barriers. to the elevation of the lower
classes Of the English people.

COMMENCEMENT.

Mr.. Editor While il is the charac
terislic of expectation to look forward Il
the future for brighter things, than givdr
us by the past, it is often reasonable byls
knowledge Of the antecedents to do 20.
Like the carefully trained competitor,
of the old Grecian games, struggling il
manly emulation for the envied crown Of
victory, each class, year by year, at thbil
literary Olympiad seek to rival their pre-.
decessors. This is right. A certain
amount of pride of spirit is manly. 1t is
that only which raises the footsteps of the
present over the past, ..
But, Sir, the present class, who avail,
graduation, are held by all who know
them, in expectation of doing superior
thing. And let me say, that in the opln.
ion of one, who has some acquaintance
with the class, those expectations are no,
ill'founded.
The class Of '65 numbered at its en-.
trance twenty-six as intelligent and able
men as ever assembled ut the centres OF
learning. By the additions of succeeding
terms the aggregate has reached thirty
one. Some at the close Of the first term.
ms always, concluded that college course
was not their "calling."
Some, us the breath Of war blew more
liercely from the South, THEW down the
"Wanderings OF Ulysses" and the stories
of "IIerodotus" to become heroes in the
increasing strife. Some, death pushed
out Of the way. Those who have bravcd
the accidents of the four eventful wears
number fifteen. This is somewhat larger
than the classes of the past two or three
years. Another peculiarly which at
taches TO this class is its ''matur.ty.' -
Inc average age is not quite twenty-fre.
They have meekly endured several
sobriquet, perhaps not altogether mex
pressive, but not so elegant, such as the
''oxen," sold men," fossils" These eu-
phonious titles some, of course, are I'M
able TO wear.
From the various literary performances
of their college course, they have made
themselves reputation for sound sense.
good forensic ability and superior scholar
ship.
SO, while we await their final exercis-
es for a rich treat in music, and instruct
i've lessons from the appointed orators, we
shall look TO .this class of young men.
with the assurance of having orr literary
appetite satlated.
And as they step from tie Academic
Stage, upon the broad rostrum of life. we
wish them all the success which their
preparatory course seems to betoken.
