New York, late Register of the Treasury The
claim covers margin of ST. 700. 900. Mr.. She'll
owned large property in Florida, pending the
late Seminole war, saw-mis for live oak, and
various other improvements upon large tract OF
land, the whole OF which were broken up by the
United States army, and his whole business de-
strcyed. He peti,ioned to Congress; aud at the
session of 5-'46 act passed for his relief
to the amount OF $4,000 He was not satisfied.
And at the last session bill was passed author
iZing the claim to be settled by Secretary Of the
Treasury on the principles eff equity and justice.
Hence the demand for 81 900 for indemnity.
A TEMPERANCE TowN.-In looking at the
returns of the votes OF the several towns of YER
mont on the question of Licensing the Sale of In
toxicating Liquors, our attention was arrested by
the vote OF PeGchant, "a small and rather sparse
iy populated town in Caledonia County,) which
is thus stated: No License l55; License =!
Only one other town in the State did well, and
that was Charlotte in Chitenden Co which gave
l62 No License to for License. This return
from Peacham awakens "reminiscences of other
days. Only twenty-five years ago, as the writer
OF this well remembers, there were in the town
twenty five DiStueries Of POTATO
Whiskey! The delicious esculent, the want of
which in Ireland has caused the death OF such
multiudes Of the poor OF that unfortunate country
was there converted in large quantities into
beverage more pernlcious perhaps than any other
of the various kinds Of intoxicating liquors.
Whiskey was to great extent the currency of
the town. Ii was sent in large quantities TO Cana
da and elsewhere and taken by the merchants in
exchange for goods As matter of course where
so much liquor manufactured much also was
drank. In those day the farmers were poor and
the land was to great extent under mortgage.
1t would naturally be expected that in such a
town the Temperance cause would have slow
growth, but the fact was otherwise. Through
the influence OF the venerable minister and few
others the evils of intemperance were faithfully
portrayed, and no town in the State
prompt TO embrace the principles Of the Temper
ance Reform. The distileries were speedily des-
troyed The town since that period has
steadily improved in intelligence, morals and
wealth; the farmers are now thrifty and indie
pendent, and the whole appearance of the place
has changed for the better under the benign in
influence ofthe doctrine OF Total Abstinence.
