One Of the most uncomfortable things in
the nature Of the brain IL. that, although
the organ Of sensation, it should itself be in.
sensible. To cut the brain gives no pain
get in the brain alone resides the power Of
feeling pain in any part Of the body. If the
nerve which leads to it from the injured
part be divided. we become instantly IN
conscious Of suffering. II is only by CON-
munica,ion with the brain that any kind Of
sensation is produced yet the organ itself
is nsen>ible But there liz q circumstance
more wonderful still A certain portion Of
the brain itself may be removed without de-
stroying life. The animal lives and per
forms Oh those functions which are necessa
ry to simple Vitality, but it has no longer
mind II cannot think ~ feel 1t requires
tina, tho food should be pushed into its
stomach; once there, it is digestei. and the
animal will even thrive and grow fat. We
infer, therefore, that part " the brain is
simply intended for the exercise Of the in.
tellec,ual faculties. whether Of the lower
grade, called instinct, or Of that exalted
kind bestowed on man and termed reason.

THE STRONG DIVORCE CAsE.-0ne Of the
New York correspondents thus sums up this
disgusting case, which has been on trial for
some time in New York
q. There seems in this suit to be a grand up

and low. The chief liiigants are two wealthy
and aristocratic families. None Of your small

form a lengthy chain, which extends from the
residents Of the broWn-stone and plate-glass pa

it finally terminates in the very dens Of pimps

innocent, is a banker Of high standing and res
pectability. Mr.. Stevens, the father of Mrs.
Strong-the destroyer Of Peters peace al hap
piness-is is also a banker Of high standing and
great respectability. Mr. Edward Strong, the
brother Of Peter, and the instrument with which
Peters heartstone was so ruthlessly shattered
in fragments, was very nice young man,
member Of an Orthodox church, deacon and
Sunday school teacher One Of the principal
witnesses for the prosecution is Mrs. Bedel,
wife Of Bishop Bedell Of Ohio, and her testimo-
ny consists Of the confessions Of the conscience
stricken sister, made to her on the sacred guise
Of a Christian comforter and counsellor. The
testimony of some of the witnesses forcibly IL

FoRErATHERs' DAv N NEw NoRK.-The
two hundred and for,y-fith anniversary Of
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on Ply
mouth Rock, and the sixiieth anniversary
Of the New England Society OF New York,
were celebrated by that association on Fri
day evening in a banquet at Dclmonico's.
There was a large attendance, and the occa-
sion was a very enthusiastic, patriotic and
enjoyable one. Many gentlemen Of emi-
nence were present, including Secretary Of
the Treasury McCulloch. Admiral Flrragut,
General Hancock, Senator Lane OF Indiana,
Gov. Smyth of New Hampshire and others.
In tie speech made by Gen. Hancock, we
find the following passage complimentary
to our New England soldiers and 10 Gen.
Stannard among the res. Gen. Hancock
may be assured that Vermont fully rccong-
nizes the duty and privilege Of hOnoring and
herishing the Vermont general in his list
During the great rebellion, which now
appears TO be practically ended, no soldiers
fought with more constancy, courage or
earnestness of purpose than those Of New
England And since the war has closed
none have been more ready than they TO put
ASIDE their arms and resume the pursuits Of
civil life. With that people war is not
passion. but is resorted to by them as
final arbitrament only when reason and all
other honorable means have failed. In view
of the recent reduction of our armies, the
present indications are that our country will
soon not lie in a state Of preparation for
hostilities Of magnitude, SO far as the organ
ization Of troops on a war footing Is con-
cerned but il must not be forgotten that we
have armies among the people whose mem
bers are ready at their country's call to put
on the armor they have just laid aside, and
that we have officers and Jldicrs who have
had more experience in modern warfare
then those Of any other nation. So long as
New England has such men as Terry, Bar
low. Miles, Potter, Stannard. Mower and
Ames, and many other young Generals Of
like great merit and renown, she need not
tear that during their generation her troops
may notbe ably led. The presence of such
men in battle will be power which cannot
fall TO inspire their troops with ambition
and to insure victory to their arms As this
characteristic was. for the most part, lost to
US in the last great contest, particularly in
its earliest days, desire to impress upon
you the Importance of cherishing such men
for the future honor and glory Of the coun-
try"

CHRISTMAS AT THE SouTn appears to have
passed of quietly and without any OF the
negro outbreaks which were apprehended
by the whites. The biggest disturbance ap-
pears to have been at Alexandra, Va, where
the rioting, however, was by white men, or
begun by the whites. The Alexandra
Journal says Of 1t:
"Whiskey flowed in streams from many rec
tsurants, and from some it was dealt out as Ii
berally to colored people as to whites. Early
in the morning il was observed that all the
young recons,ructionists were well armed.
The rioting commenced at an early hour in the
morning, and by one o'clock P. NJ, had assum-
ed such fearful proportions that the Mayor
found it necessary TO call upon the military au-
thorities to suppress 1t. Three companies of
Hancock's Veterans proceeded to arrest every
one found engaged in riotipg. Between fifty
and one hundred Of the ringleaders Of the va
rious disturbances were mostly sent to the slave
pens, and the more guilty are still in confne-
ment.
Some 100 persons were badly beaten, but
so far as We have been able to learn but two
were 80 badly injured as to preclude the hope
Of recovery. During the day . most unprovok-

IMPORTANT WILL Casa case which has
attracted considerable attention in Addison
County and called into requisition the ser
vices Of a very able array of counsel, was
tried before Judge Pierpoint at the late term
Of Addison County Court. 1t seems that
Mr. Joshua Wetherbee of Ferrisburgh, hav-
ing in 1855 made will leaving his proper
ty,amOunting to $4,000 about equally to bis
two children. Mr.. Amos Wetherbee and
Mrs. Emily Keese, subsequently in 1861,
during his last illness. made another will By
which the property was not so equally divid-
ed Suit was brought in behalf Of Mrs.
Keese's children, to set aside the last will,
on the ground of mental incapacity Of the tes-
tator at the time. The counsel engaged
were for the Executor, Hon. G. W. Grandey,
Hon. j. W. Stewart, E. r. Hard, ESQ.,;
for the orphans Hon. G. F. Ednunds, Gov
ernor Dillingham;, E. J. Phelps, Esq. and L.
Meader, Esq. The lawyers talked two hours
apiece and Judge Pierpoint charged the ju-
~ for an hour. The verdict declared the
last will to be invalid, and gives to the Keesc
children some Sll00 dollars more than they
would have got under it.

MURDER OUT.-Rev. 7. F. Stuart writes to
the Sentinel that man residing in Canada
East near the line has recently on his death
bed confessed that he was the murderer Of
Mr. Stafford who was murdered about twen-
ty-fve years ago, on the farm Of Mr.. Jona-
than lyon, in Shelburne. No clue to the
perpetrator Of the crime has ever been
founi, though every effort was made at the
time to detect him Mr.. Stuart says:
1t appears that this man had led dissolute
life, and had been in the habit Of spending all
the money he could acquire in scenes Of dissips-
tion and drunkenness, and that having become
destitute Of money, and falling in with Mr.. Saf
ford, whom he supposed had money, he lured
him from the main road leading from Shelburne
to Burlington into the woods. and there murder
ed him, snd as he said in his confession, all for
one quarter Of 4 dollar.
This confession was made on the murde-sr's
death-bed, when the Lord let conscience loose on
the miserable culprit, and be was forced to con-
fess the crime. After having lain some three
days in dying state, still living CT ntrsry to the
expectation Of all, he informed them he could
not die until he had made disclosure Of his
having murdered Mr.. Stafford, after which con-
fessIon he died Immediately. These facts we're
given me by friend, who was on q visit to the
place at the time Of his death.

not take the test oath prescribed by the Leg
i.lature Of that State, and are Consequently

Rock, the other day. General sherman was
On tour and was invited to address the
Clayention. The chairman Of the couvcn-
ti01, in addressing Gen. sherman, made
complaint Of the restrictions Aii upon them.
To this the General replied that the on'y po-
litical advice he could give them was, to
obey the constitution and laws. lie thought
there were many things more important TO
them than immediate voting, and he sugges-
ted tha, they had better improve their roads,

tive to emigrants lie told them that the
fact Of their being allowed to meet TO die
