STOWE.

The Oyster Supper at Stowe, on the eve
ning of the 9th of January last, was
complete success. Indeed. what else could
have been expected as it was generally
known that the means used and arrange
ments made for getting it up, we're prinei-
pully directed by the ladies of that place.
All they need is good object and good
weather. and they are sure of succeeding.
The object of this gathering was the rails
ing of little fund, in an agreeable way,
to be sent to Washington as contribu-
ton towards the great National Sanitary
Fair to come off there on the LIST inst.
the object certainly was one of the most
worthy, and the weather proving favora

winter have been so difficult, seasonably.
to procure. The table was loaded with a
supper of large, nicely frosted cakes, bear
ing various inscriptions, flags and images.
which needed no tongues to express their
significance to those who beheld them.
Never have we heard better or more APP
propriate singing on such an occasion.
and we think r. R. Wait. Esq, is entitled
to the earnest thanks of the people of
that town, for the Jealous and repeated
exertions he makes to prepare music for
such occasions. 1t would be invidious in
US to attempt to decide who of all the
solo singers that evening, performed their
parts the best. 1t can, however, be just
ly said, that they all acquitted themselves
most charmingly An intelligent German
who happened to be in town, consented to
enliven the audience with two songs in the
german language one in their peculiar
style of music; the novelty and address
of which, occasioned much agreeable
amusement.
Robinson's Band were in attendance,
and in their usual style, discoursed many
of their best pieces thereby adding, very
perceptably, to the festivities of the oc-
casion.
Under such favorable circumstances,
how could the gathering be anything else
than what it was ?-one of the most
pleasant, joyous and happy assemblages
that ever met in town for any purpose.
Though admittance to the table was prop
erly put at very low figure, The net pro-
ceeds Of the supper amounted to eighty
one dollars, which by check, was immedi-
utely sent to Hon. Portus Baxter, at Wash
ington, to be used according to the design
of the contributors.

a. While at Wolcott on Friday last
We had the pleasure Of forming the &C,
quaintance of Rev. S. R Hall. of Brown
ington, formerly of Craftsbury. where he
was for several years the principal of the
Academy. He is one of the first scien-
tifc men in the state, and during the late
geological survey of the State was en-

the soil and agricultural capabilities of

Too BAD-The LamoiNe Neacsdeaier is
a little to bad in "going back" on one of
its "colored brethren" named Wilson,
who recently lectured in Hyde Park. If
the Nea0sdealer is sincere in its anti-sla-
very, equality, ideas and notions, it

negro they foolishly suppose to be ripe,

glow of warmth on the skin, and then
abandoned the practice"
Perhaps it would not be out of place in
this connection to say something in rela-
ton to what we know of the benefits de-
rived from the use Of natures agencies in
the restoration of health after long suffer-
ing. We have in our family an instance
in point. A sister of ours had been in
feeble health for several years, and had
tried almost all sorts of medicines, with
no benefit. Shells now in good health
and in q fair way to become strong. An
other young lady. Miss Lizzie Whittier,
tells nearly the same story. We know of
several others who have had similar ex-
perience After years of suffering and
trial of various medicines. they abandon
ed everything of the kind. and commenced
the use of such agencies as outdoor excr-
else, plenty of good fresh air, both day
and night, pure, simple, nutritious food.
and such stimulants, sedatives. Alternatives.
purgatives, correctives and strengtheners
as can be found in water at different tenn
peratures from ice cold to steaming hot,
With friction.
These agencies must be used intelligent
ly, with reference to the condition of the
patient, and where so used and persisted
in, they have never failed to bring reliet
to those who are not so far gone as to be
past all human aid. Most people, how
ever, are too much welded to habit, and
too unwilling to forego the qualification of
appetite, to be willing to give up injurious
practices, and live as nature intended they
should, and so they cannot believe there
is any virtue III the system. Such people
cannot be expected to believe in that which
requires such self.denial. But all who
are willing to abandon hurtful gratifca-
tons, may 6ud i'll this system sure road
to health The individuals of whom We
speak, learned the way to health and hap
piness at the Granite Health Institute.
