REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS A special
session of the Court of Probate was COM
menced in this town yesterday, for the pur-
pose of authentira,ing the papers of the
applicants for the benefit of The Pension
Law of the last session of Congress. The
occasion brought together great number
of the old veterans, so that our streets
were literally thronged with them, and the
day was devoted TO them by the Court,
without being able to get Through with all
the cases. 1t has been estimated that there
will be from 300 to 500 applicants from this
County alone.

PRESERVATION OF HEALTH. The con-
sulting Physicians of the Boston Board of
Health advise moderate use of vegetable
food, when of good quality and properly
cooked, as salutary provision of nature, at
this season, to cool and regulate the diges-
tive system. They also recommend mod
crate use of our own fruit, when ripe and in
good order. They add, that the exciting
cause Oft the epidemic more frequently lies in
an improper quantity of food, than in any Pc
culiar quality. although the quality should
by no means be regarded with Indifference"
But they are particularly emphatic in ad-
vlsing and warning al! persons TO abstain
wholly from the use of all kinds of ardent
spirits, whether they have been accustomed
to their use or not. They give directions
to be followed by those who have been ac-
customed TO free use OF such drink. to be
followed, in leaving off the habit, which we
shall publish next week.

| The BANK. 1t has been brought as a
serious accusation against the United States
Bank, both in the Veto Message and else
where, that in the elections of officers there
Is possibility that the power may he con-
centrated in few hands, and that, in fact.
there HAD heen elections when few direct
ors, in consequence of the number Of prox-
les given them by other Stockholders, to
vote in their behnlf, could control maioIi-
ty of all the votes given. Now, in our opn.
ION, this very fact, instead of being a cause
OF objection, ought TO operate strongly in
favor OF il renewal of the charter. By al
lowing such stockholders as cannot con-
venlenly attend, to vote by proxy, the man
agement Of the institution is retained in the
hands Of a majority, when, if it were other
wise, it might he controlled by a minority,
living near TO The place of the election who
might have some local object in view. No
stakeholder would give his proxy to any
one in whom he had not entire confidence
to believe that he would vote as he would.
himself, if personally present. If, then,
few directors have received proxies TO
vote for majority of the whole stock, it
only proves that the affairs of the institution
have been managed with such prudence and
wisdom, as to secure the unlimited conf
dence ofthe stockholders. That confidence
never could have been obtained, if the bust |
ness had not been conducted so as to give
satisfaction TO the public also, for, if cause
OF complaint had arisen, it would affect in |
the interests of the institution. and
thus lead the stockholders TO examine into
its management.
This, then, is the whole amount of this
accusation aganst the Bank, that its affairs
have been sowell managed by the directors
as to secure the entire confidence If tho !
stockholders Perverse men, these direct
ors must be. If they had only managed so
as TO forfeit the confidence of the public. the
would not have trusted them
with their proxies, and then Gen. Jackson's
objection would fall to the ground. Verify
a Solomon has come TO judgment amongst
US
Let US look at this matter in one other
point of view. IF it is more convenient for
a stakeholder to vote by proxy than TO at
tend himself, whose business is it but his
own? If he prefers giving his proxy to
any individual. shall he be forbidden, be-
cause the same person has the proxy of
another stakeholder? And, in the man .ge-
ment Of a mans own private business, shall
he be dictated to, as to the agent he shall
employ, by Gen. Jackson or any other man ? !

DIET. Fresh meat, in moderation. is 10 be
preferred in warm weather, to that which is
sailed. dried, or smoked. It is perfectly absurd
10 suppose, MS some do, that the latter cons,,
tutes more wholesome food in summer than
fresh meat. On the contrary, sailed dried.
and smoked meats, are less nutritious, more
stimulating, and less easy of digestion than
fresh meat, consequently, they have greater
