Funeral of Lieut.. Gsrrish.

These services took place yesterday after
noon at the New Jerusalem Church. Beauti-
full, interesting and impressive, are the Swe-
denborgian ceremonies at funeral. The cot

natural, and many took a last look of the
pleasant face. Services commenced with the
readihg OIL The scriptures, followed by chant
from the Choir, which was we'll rendered.
The pastor then made some very solemn and
interesting remarks, in which he alluded to the
peculiar doctrines OF the church, and discussed
briefly what it is to live, what to die and what

Perfection Of an Artificial Limb.

Mr.. EDrroR:-I noticed in the Providence
Journal OF the OH inst, an article, copied
from the Boston Traveller, decidedly compli-
mentary to Palmer & Co.'s Artificial Limb
mandatory. The writer states Shat he has
used others, but decides that the one he is now
using is far superior to any heretofore tested"
he says the leg is in good porking trim al
though the socket is little too large
We have officer in this city, who is daily
moving around among US, whose statement,
in regard to the perfection to which Palmer
,& Co. have arrived, in connection with his own
practical ingenuity, knocks the article above
referred to "higher than kite" But few, if
any, would suppose that Capt. Walcott U. S.
A, is travelling around upon wooden leg
His artificial limb is not only in good ,oorkins
Grim but is in good dancing and skating trim
He informs me that he has skated two hours
and a halt, and danced six figures on the even
ang of the same day. Much credit is due the
Captain for his perseverance in procuring the
perfect character of the leg of wood, upon
which he skps.
For the benefit of the writer of the article
new one, and for others, who, on account of
this cruea rebellion are obliged to resort to the
ARTIFICIAL, allow me to state from the Captains
own lips, the course he pursued to do away
with the unperfections which at first developed
themselves. r iee5
He says: wherever the limb is pressed sui
flciently hard to cause blister, stick wafer
place the limb in the socket-leaving the
wafer on the inside, and with half
chisel and sand-paper, work the portion of
the artificial, which caused the blister, out, I'M
tilitis fitted complete.
: Dress the limb with silk. Cover this dress
ing with buckslSn as thick rs it will bear with,
out stopping the circulation, wetting the buck
skin the first time it is worn. Cover the buck
skin with silk and you may wear the limb with
perfect ease"
Allow me, Mr.. Editor, to allude more par
ticularly to Capt. Walcott. He is one of those
brave off GERS who has contributed much to-
wards the brilliant victories our army have
achieved up to, and including Gettysburg,
where he was severely wounded. He has been
obliged to submit to three amputations, and
lived through the whole OF it by his own will
and determination. He soould not die, al
though many of his surgeons decided he must.
The Capt. has recently been placed upon
the retired list in the first class of which Gen.
Scott stands at the head, with pay proper and
rations, after very close examination, which
of itself, indicates how he is regarded by The
Department. He will probably soon be as
signed to some light duty, and will be obliged
to leave his numerous friends in this city,
May the blessing Of Heaven rest upon the Of
iicers and men who have SO molly defended
the supremacy ofonr Government. JIM.

NFw ORLEANS, Feb 10, via Cairo, 18th.
A refugee from Western Texas gives the
following in regard to Prices and Magruder's
armies, which is deemed reliable:
Prices command is 5000 strong. mostly cav
airy from Texas Large numbers of deserters
are constantly arriving at the Rio Grande and
escaping North into Arkansas and Missouri.
Prices headquarters are at Bonham, Texas,
Jour miles south of the Red River, in fine
foraging country. Magruder is at Camden,
Ark with part of his command, but the main
body, chiefly cavalry, is on stealing expedi-
ton in Texas. The horses of both commands
are in an exhausted condition. Magruder has
20 600 men on his muster rolls, two-thirds OF
whom are effective. Kirby Smiths headquar-
tiers are still at Shreveport His entire force
is estimated at $4,000, only about 10000 of
which are available.
Immense droves OF beef cattle, numbering
some 100 600 head, are roaming in the prairies
of Western Texas.
Reports OF Kirby Smiths, Magruder's and
other rebel officers cotton specul ations still
continue. Moi. Hart, the rebel agent at Mat
amoras. is said to have made million dollars
in gold.
The Spanish Journal, published at Matamo-
ras, says Macmillan has created an order
entitled the Mexican Eagle, of which Grand
Marshal Almonte has been appointed Grand
Bachelor. The order comprises an unlimited
number of Knights, 200 officers, 100 command
ers, so grand officers, 25 of whom are Grand
Commanders. Twelve Grand Crosses have
been awarded to the Emperors of france, Rus
STA and Austria, and Kings Of Belgium, Swe-
den, Norway and Italy.
Macmillan has appointed Gen. Mejia Com
mander in Chief of the Imperial Army.
