Donation Visit.

We understand that the friends of the
Rev. W. J. Mcdowell of South Ryegate
made him donation visit on the 18th ult.
The day was fine and the people turned out
en- masse. An excellent dinner was prepar-
ed by the committee of arrangements, at
which over an hundred partook and about
an hundred were entertained at an evening
repast. Every one seemed to vie with each
other in kindness towards their new minis
ter and his family. The donation amounted
to nearly 5000. And this is all the more
spirited when it is considered that it is only
seven months since Mr.. Mcdowell came
amongst them, and during that period, in
addition to the donation and regular salary.
the people have paid $500 for improvements
on the house and barn-between one and
two hundred for the Seminary and Sj4 for
the Home and Foreign Missions.
A ladies' festival for the relief of sick and
wounded soldiers was held at Montpelier
New Years evening, the receipts of which
amounted to S4l5.

Is the Liquor Law a Failure

At the term of Windsor county court
Just closed, the sum of S2,400 was imposed
as fines and bonds upon several parties for
violation of the liquor law. The fines rang
ed from $50 to 5000 and one man was SEN
fenced to the county Jail for three months in
addition to his fine, it being his third offence

Christmas at South Church.

Not being present we entirely forgot to
notice in our last paper the pleasant gather
ing of the Sabbath School at the South
Church Christmas evening. By what we
learn from those present we judge 1t an occa-
sion long to be pleasantly remembered. lhe
main BODY of the church was decorated with
great care and labor and in excellent taste.
The festoons of wreaths and flowers were
elaborate and beautiful, while huge Christ
mas tree, loaded down with presents for the
scholars, stood on the platform directly in
front of the desk. Among the entertain
ments of the evening were exercises by the
school, consisting of dialogues, Rotations,
singing, etc. The school made their super
intendent, Mr.. +. Jewett, some choice pres
ents, among which was nice gold headed
cane, and large album containing photo
graphs of most of the scholars. The pastor,
Rev. l.. o. Brastow, was not forgotten, but
was the recipient of a valuable dressing gown
and slippers. Quite number of the
teachers were also remembered by appropri-
ate gifts. Altogether it was very pleasant
and quite new way of spending Christmas
eve in St. Johnsbury.

Ayers sarsaparilla

Is c5Snpounded from tho most efcctual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distempcr, and for the cure Of the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised. is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it docs comt
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upcri this class Of complaints, is indisputnbly
proven by the great multitude Of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Drcpsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercutial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the Whole
series Of complaints that nrisc from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished TO the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bc
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Th5se cases are purposely taken hoiff AL sec
tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject TO disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
ticns. Hence it tends to shorten, and docs
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
life. The vast importance of these consideraE
tions has led us to spend years in pcrfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name Of
AYERS SARsArARILLA, although it is COM
