(Vt) Telegraph says that, "Seizures and ar

merous than ever. There is no use in trying to
give journal of them. We now have a liquor
law, about which there is no complaint of its
being "a dead letter'-broke the rum tap so
short off, that even the fingers Of avarice can
not pull it out nor can the striped pig root un-
der its foundation. We estimate that in the
year 1853, this law will save Vermont about
one Lake Champlain of tears, seven double car
loads of taxes, and sin enough to materially less
en- the work at the day of judgment"

If influential journals would but take up the

TABLE WARE FOR THE WHITE HoUsE.-A
superb breakfast, dinner, dessert and tea service,
has just been completed by Messrs. Haughwou
e. Daley, together with full set of richly cut
and engraved table glass, got up to the special
order of General Pierce, President of the Uni.
ted States. The exquisite manner in which
these goods are finished, would do credit to any
of the royal porcelain and glass manufactures
of Europe. 1t is matter Of pride and self
congratulation that to one Of our citizens is
accorded the honor Of supplying the first fancy
decorated American service of China ever made
for the White House. When samples of Eu.
ropean and American manufactures are submit
ted to Mrs. Pierce for selection, she expressed a
decided preference for the latter, as being in
better taste and more elegant. The manufactu-
rers, and especially the late firm of Woram q
Haughwout, and their two managing artists,
Messrs. Maddox and Leigh, are in some meas
ure rewarded for the great efforts that have been
made and expense incurred, in bringing this
branch of the fine arts (hitherto cultivated with
great success in foreign countries,) to such a
degree of perfection. The dining service num-
bers $50 pieces and the glass, ifty-ive dozen.
The whole cost is $1,000. N. Y. Jour. Com.
