NEW ENGLAND SUMMARY, The Massachusetts Legislature are revising the Militia Laws of the State. Ihe present war will do good in many Ways: for, though it were true that the Militia laws of Massachusetts were ter at the commencement of the rebel lion than those of any other State, yet they will be much better at its close than they were at its beginning. Mas sachusetts seems to have suffered unu sually of late by fires. In Wilmington, on last Tuesday, a fine destroyed the Orthodox Congregational Church and all its appurtenances. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Tolman, is now spending the win ter in Philadelphia, on accowit of the health of bis wife. By the way, Phila delphia seems, about this time,"to be quite a resort for invalidsfrom the North and East. Rev. P. C. Headley is here for his wife’s health; Francis E. Loud, Esq., of Weymouth, for his own health; and we have heard of several others. It must, indeed, be a great re lief to those who have been accustomed to live, or rather shiver through the win ter and Spring in Boston. But of the Massachusetts fires. Glou cester has been the scene of a terrible one within the last week. Fifty fami lies are said to have been rendered houseless, in the coldest part of the sea son, by one general conflagration. Le monster, also, has suffered by fire. There must be much carelessness, or many in cendiaries in the Old Bay State.—Miss Dickinson, the Politician, and Miss Evans, tho Temperance Lecturer, are taking the palm from all others in “the city of notions." Boston seems to be all alive to read the Life of Dr. Lyman Beecher, tho father of all the Beechers; and a Boston" paper says, of.“more brains and heresy than any other man.” Bibles, Testaments, and Testaments with Psalmsj are to be had wonderfully. cheap at 138 Washington Street, Bos ton. Mr. Piper bought a vast quantity, which were sold at auction lately; the fruits of a captured blockade runner. How cruel to take these good books from the Southern rebels who needed them so much, and to sell them to Bos tonians, who had books enough already! We think this was too bad! Fowler, the phrenologist, says the Boston Traveller, recently lecturing in Maino, related the following reminis sence of “ Little Mac The father of George B. McClellan and himself were “ old cronies,” as he expressed it; he often came into his of fice to listen to his examinations; and when, once on a time the lad George was homo from West Point, the father brought his two sons to have their cha racters phrenologioaliy descanted upon. Says Mr. Fowler: “ I remember all the circumstances as if it were bntyester-. day, and I remember the train, of rea soning that then passed through my mind. Never,” with great emphasis, “never, in all my life, had I found such an inordinate development of the organ of ‘ caution ’ as in the head of Geo. B. McClellan. I also found the propelling faculties, oombativeness and destruc tiveness, small, and I thought to myself, what is the sense or reason of sending such.a natural coward to West Point ? But then 1 reasoned that there would probably never be any war to call for military genius,. &nd West Point might as well educate the cowards as any other institution.” He said that his life had only proved his early convic tions, and referring to the great seven days’ battle related that a personal fa mily friend was then in Richmond, and the plan of the battle was well known. Lee said, “ I know McClellan for a na tural coward, and if I draw every avail able man from Richmond, and hnrl our whole force upon his right wing, he will not dare to mbve his left !” He did bo, and provod that he truly did know his adversary; for though McClellan eonld have swung his left wing over Rich mond, he only sent forward a corporal’s; guard to reconnoitre, and the golden opportunity was passed by. [Gen. McClellan should immediately proceed to write a report on Fowler.] Why did not Fowler give this infor mation earlier, so that the President might have dismissed him before he kill ed so many ? Two drunken men riding about the village of Bridgewater, Mass;, were taken, arrested, and placed in the lock up. The better to facilitate their escape, they set fire to the building and both perished in the flames. It is believed there was never so much intemperance as at the .present time. Where are the Temperance Societies! A grand jubilee of the boys andgirls came off in Fremont Temple, on Wash ington’s Birth-day. One thousand chil dren sang sweet tunes, and the money collected by the sale of tickets went to to a Mission Sabbath School. The Boston papers give us the follow,- ing: Heroic Capture of a Rebel Colonel by a Boston Boy. A letter dated at Port Hudson, La., Jan. 28th, gives the following account of the capture of the rebel Colonel Bradford, by a Boston boy, a private in the 3d Massachusetts caval- ry • One of our scouts, Philbrick, of the 3d Massachusetts cavalry, recently rode out alone, 'within the enemy’s lines, and captured a rebel colonel, with an auda city that deserves notice. Col. Brad ford was visiting Bis affiance at a plan tation house four miles from Jackson, where he supposed himself entirely safe, fof the rebel pickets were within call. Philbrick, late at night, stole into the negro quarters and learned from the slaves, who are always our friends, all that he Wished to know. Quietly fast ening his horse, he crept to the front door, burst it open, and, pistol in hand, astonished the assembled party with the sight of a "Union soldier on the rampage. The scout thundered out his orders to an imaginary company, through the back window, kicked over the whist ta ble, smashed the goblets and a bottle of ‘Widow Cliquot’ that had probably paid recent duty at Baton Rouge, dis armed tho Colonel, and took bosh him and his servant, mounted them on their own horses and brought them off amid the tears and lamentations of the ‘ affi anced ’ and her friends. Through by roads the unlucky Colonel was brought safely to camp, and is now on his way to Virginia with a letter of introduction to Gen. Butler. The prisoner nearly ground up a fine set of natural teeth when he learned that his capture had been effected by a single soldier, armed no better than himself. U. S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.

IRON IN THE BLOOD. It is well known to the medical profession that IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELEMENT of the blood. This is demed<ihiefly from the food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested, or if, from any cause whatever, the necessary quantity of iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood Will irritate the heart, will dog UP'the lungs, will stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will send its disease-producing elements to all parts of the system, and everyone w.iU suffer in whatever organ may be predisposed to disease. The great value or IRON AS A MEDICINE is well known and acknowledged by all medical men. The difficulty has been to obtain such a preparation of it as win enter the circulation and assimilate at once with the blood. This point, says Dr. flays, Massachusetts State Chemist, has oeen attained in the Peruvian Syrup, by combination tn a way before unknown. THE PERUVIAN SYBUP is a PROTECTED solution of the PROTOXIDE OF IRON. A. NEW IN MEDICINE, that STRIKES AT THE ROOT OF DISEASE by supplying with its VITAL PRINCIPLE OR LIFE ELEMENT-IRON.
