from Derby was spoken of 10 our columns
last week, was found at Enosburgh. 1t
seems that in fit Of alteration of mind he
wandered through Barnston, z. O., north.
west into Shefford county, and from there
southwesterly into Franklin county, and fl.
nally hired out to man in Enosburgh.
Curtis Wiley went to Enosburgh and re-
turned with young Turner.
The grange at East Charleston have been
having a slight "onpleasantness," which their
opponents seem disposed to make the most
Of. 1t appears that certain members were
dissatisfied with the way the majority voted
on some questions, and withdrew or ex-
pressed an intention TO do 80, aud there is
talk OF forming council of Sovereigns. We
don't see as that would be any special dam
age to the grange. If any person desires to
be outside the order of Patrons, the Patrons
certainly don't want him inside, and the Sow
ereigns everywhere cooperate with aud help
the Patrons, so that the presence of the two
orders would only signify the increased
strength Of the workiugmcns party.
A girl Of Peter Blodgett, now ten years
Of age, has had inflammation and liberation
OF the left arm, between the shoulder and ell
bow.joint, for the last two years, there hav-
ing been constant discharge all this time,
pieces of bone frequently coming out. A
few days ago small piece Of bone came
through the skin, close to the shoulder
joint, which could not be easily pulled out,
although very loose. DIR. Dutton was called,
and It was decided TO administer chlorolorm
and make an incision large enough to get on
the bone. This being done, there was re-
vealed piece OF bone four inches long, one
inch OF the end next the shoulder, from
which 1t had been severed by disease,) re-
tained its natural size and shape, the remain.
ing portion being partly destroyed, leaving
rough and ragged edges terminating in
number Of long slender points, having rough
honey appearance. As the disease be-
gan near the elbow, it would seem as if the
whole bone of the arm had been destroyed
by liberation, this being the last portion of
it. The child has had all the time, quite a
free movement of the arm from the shoulder,
and it is OF nearly the same ,eugth as the
other arm From appearances new bone
is being formed to take the place Of that
which is gone.-Monitor.
