The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1861-12-28

a NOTEWORTHY INCIDENTAL little incident
occurred in the Senate on Thursday last which
is worthy Of note. MIR. Grimes, in reviewing
the finding of the court.oi inquiry in the case
of Col Miles, intimated that he could put no
trust in any public man addicted TO intemper-
ance. This sentiment called down such round
of applause from the galleries that the Vice
President had promptly TO rebukc it. There
were present at the time quite number of our
brave volunteers, from whom this outburst OF
feeling spontaneously proceeded. We learn
that there are number of temperance societies
in the various regiments, while there are whole
regiments that refuse to touch drop Of arden
spirits, and hence it was that tho remark WAS sc
signally responded to.-National Inteligencer

A Spy OF tsse Revolution.

In the year 1776, when Gov. George
Clinton resided in Albany, there came a
stranger to his house, one cold winter
morning soon after the family had
breakfasted. He was welcomed by the
household, and Hospitality entertained.
A break fast ordered and the Governor,
with wife and daughter employed in
knitting, was sitting before the fire, and
entered into conversation with him about
the affairs Of the country, which natur-
ally led to the inquiry of what was his
occupation. The caution and hesitancy
with hich the stranger spoke aroused
the keen sighted Clinton. He commu-
nlcated his suspicious to his wife and
daughter, who closely watched his every
word and action. Unconscious Of this,
but finding that he had fallen among
enemies, the stranger was seen to take
something from his pocket and swallow
it, Madame Clinton, with the ready fact
of women Of these troubled times, went
quietly into the kitchen and ordered hot
coffee to he Immediately made, and added
TO it strong dose Of tartar emetic.-
The stranger, delighted with the sInok-
ing beverage, partook freely Of it, and
Madame Clinton soon had the satisfac-
ton of seeing it produce the desired eff
feet True to scripture, "out Of his own
mouth was he condemned. A silver
bullet appeared, which, upon examina-
ton, was screwed, and found to contain
an important dispatch for Burgoyne.-
The spy was tried, condemned and ex-
ecuted, and the bullet is preserved in
the family.

RecIaiming Fallen Women.

The movement in London for the re-
formation Of fallen women has Leen at
tended with remarkable results SINH
lar means have been adopted in other
large cities Of Great Britain with success
In Glasgow over two hundred men have
been received in the Refuge and provi-
ded with employment, mainly through
the efforts of single lady, who devoted
herself to this work; and many more
have applied, but have been rejected,
from the want of means for their support
Of 163 who had been received. in over a
twelyemonth, only twenty have relapsel
and nearly all of these had returned OF
their own accord, bitterly repenting
their weakness, and desiring further o.
portunl.y of reform alton. AS the most
insidious means were adopted to lure
them back to vice, the secessions were
encouragingly limited. In Dublin, TOO,
a similar movement has been Inaugural
ted, and a very considerable number
have embraced the opportunity Of a5an-
daning their evil courses.

EIGHT REASONS FOR PLANTING An
ORCHARD.

l. Dr. Dwight used to remark to his
pupils at Yale, that the raising of fruit
was the cheapest and pleasantest way Of
entertaining ones friends. We are ere
ations Of society, aud it is very impor-
tant object to make the social board at
tractiye to all wEo honor Us with their
friendship A dish Of we'll l-grown APP
pies is always wholesome and acceptable
2. An orchard is always an ornament
to the farm, its beautiful blossoms, its
summer drapery of green and its autumn
burden of yellow and ruddy fruit. No
farm is complete without its acres of
orchard.
g. The cultivation of fruit is very
pleasant occupation, and has an impor-
tant influence upon the mind and heart
of the cultivator. / requires higher in
telligcnce than the growing of annual
crops. 1t testers forecast and hopeful
ness, and tends to cheerful temper.
4. It makes home attractive; children
are universally fond of fruit, and the
homes where this luxury is always en-
joyei, will Re loved on that account. It
will be pleasant contrast with many
homes around them.
5. 1t will tend to guard children
against vice and crime. So strong is
the desire for fruit that they may steal
it if it lie not provided for them at home
And the boy that grows up plundering
his neighbors yard and orchard, is very
likely to steal more valuable things when
he becomes man
6. 1t is very sure investment. An
apple tree, if we'll planted, is about as
hardy as an oak, and sure to bear fruit
according to the labor bestowed upon it.
When houses burn up, and banks fail,
and railroad stocks Hcpreciate, the or
chard will yield dividends.
z. 1t is not only sure Investment for
yourself, but for your children. No
real estate in their inheritance is.likely
to be so permanently valuable. An
orchard in good soil Will bear fruit for
hundred years.
8. 1t is perpetual Indictment to
thanksgiving to the bonntiful Creator
1T yields its burden of precious fruit
yearly, giving large returns for the la
bors of the husbandman, and calling
him to behold the wisdom and goodness
of Providence. DO not fail to plant
that long deferred orchard, and while
you are about it, select good marketable
fruit. The best is the cheapest.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The following extract from the late

Old Wagons and Carriagcs.

Almost every farmer in the early
part of his practice, is tempted to buy
second handed wagons, old carriages,
ETC., from their cheapness; but if he
keeps correct account Of the bills for
repairs by the blacksmith, wheel wright,
painter and others, he will soon discover
that the first wear of the carriage is the
cheapest. Thus a new Rockaway will
frequently run two, three or four years,
with scarcely repair, and if we'll cared
for, will seem to be almost as good as
new; the next three years will develop
rather different state of things
Those who have most experience, find
it to their advantage to sell their old
carriages before they begin to need fire.
quent repair. A carriage, like carpet,
may be worn a long time in good order,
but as soon as either show wear, they
are well sold at half their cost Work

TaE BEST BED,

Of the eight pounds which a man eats
and drinks in day, it is thought that
not less than Eve pounds leaves his
body through the skin. And of these
five pounds considerable per centage
escapes during the night while he is in
bed. The larger part of this is water,
but in addition there is much efete and
poisonous matters. This being in great
part gaseous in form, permeates. every
part of the bed Thus all parts of the
bed, mattress, blanket, as aceW as sheets,
soon become foul and need publication
The mattress needs this renovation
quite as much as the sheets. 70 allow
the sheets to be used without washing
or changing, three or six months, would
be regarded as bad house keeping; but
insist if thin sheet can absorb
enough of the poisonous execrations of
the body to make it unfit for use in a
few days, 4 thick mattress which can
absorb and retain thousand times as
much Of these poisonous excretions
needs to he purified as often certainly
as once in three months.
A sheet can he washed A mattress
cannot be renovated in this way. In
deed there is no other way of cleansing
a mattress but by steaming it. or pick
ing it to pieces, and thus in fragments
exposing it to the direct rays of the sun.
As these processes are scarcely practic-
able with any ordinary mattresses, I am
decidedly of the opinion that the good
old fashioned straw led which can ev-
cry three months be changed for fresh
straw, and tick be washed, is the sweet
est and healthiest of beds.
If in the winter season the porous
ness of the straw bed makes it little
uncomfortable spread over it a comforter
or two wooden blankets, which should
be washed as often as once in two or
three weeks, you will have delightful,
healthy bed.
Now if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the night before evening,
you will have added greatly to the
sweetness of your rest, and in ccnse
quence to the tone Of your health.-Dr.
d. Le,cis.
