IMPROVEMENTS. - The Woodstock
Standard says that Solomon Woodward,
Esq, is doing a noble work for the viii
iage on his lot above the factory, which
he is cleaning of rock and stone, and
upon which he intends to erect Ave,
handsome dwelling houses. He also in
tends building a large stone storehouse
at the west end Of the bridge across the
Ottauqueechee River. These several i'm
provements will give employment to a
large number of mechanics, and make
the business of the village more than
ever prosperous. The Standard fails to
mention another line Of Improvement"
in which Mr.. Woodward is actively en-
gagged, and which grows out of the fact
that he is thorough going Temperance
man.

GOLDEN WEDDING.-On Tuesday the
7th inst. Mr.. Anthoney Van Doom of
Brattleboro and his wife celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
The day was opened by reading the 18th
Psalm and other appropriate exercise.
The tables were well loaded, the hours
passed with good cheer and the music
of good old tunes. It is mentioned as
something worthy Of remark that the
parents, children, grandchildren and
the family relatives, all eschew rum, to-
bacco and slavery.
Valuable gifts were presented, accom-
panied with appropriate remarks, and
the reading of kind letters from absent
ones, Among the latter we quote q
paragraph from the venerable and Rev.
erend Z. S. Barstow, D. D., who for half
century has been pastor of the Con-
EDUCATIONAL Church in Keene, N. H;
"May this occasion be one Of much en-
joyment in your own souls, and Of de-
vout gratitude to God, who has crowned
your life with loving kindness and ten
der mercy! And yet, dear sir, it be-
hooves us deeply to realize, that "the
| fashion of the world passeth away y
that we are but passengers to another
| country and that we may well imbibe
in spirit the cheerful feelings of good
Bishop Kenn, who, in all his journeys
carried a shroud in his portmanteau,
saying, eve never know when the wed
| ding garment will be needed"

ArPLrs.-The Palmyra. (N,Y,! Cou5ie,'
says;
"a vast quantity of apples are com
ing to market from Wayne county, and
Eastern buyers have been deceived into
paying high prices by false cry of scar
city"
The Rochester UHjoa says the same is
true Of other counties in Western New
York, and adds:
"The prices which have been paid for
apples this fall are beyond all precedent,
and wholly unwarranted.
In Springfield, Mass, last week, the
price went dowD$1 per barrel, on arrival
of 5000 barrels from the West.

AGAINST DRAM DBINKIEG.--A Scotch
parson once preached a long sermon
against dram drinking, q vice prevalent
in his parish, aud from which, report
said, he was not free himself;
"When We get up indeed, ye may take
dram, aud another just before break
fast, and perhaps another after but
dinna always be dram drinking.
If you are out IN the morn, you may
brace yourself up with another dram,
and perhaps take another before lun-
cheon and some, I fear, take one after,
which is not very blamable, but dinna
be always drinking,
NaebOdy can scruple for one Just be-
fore dinner, and when the dessert Is
brought in, and after it is taken away,
perhaps, and one, it may be twa, in the
course of the afternoon, just to keep you
frae drowsying or snOozleing but dinna
be always dram drinking.
Afore tea and after tea, and between
tea and supper, is no more but right and
good, but let me caution you, brethren,
not to be always dram drinking.
Just when you start for bed, and when
you're ready to pop into't, to take q
dram or two is no more than Christian
may lawfully do.
But, brethren, let me caution you not
to drink more than I've mentioned, or
may be We may pass the bounds Of mod
Grafton" ..

tg' A New Hampshire paper says
that the little daughter of a gentleman
said to her father one evening this week
that if he would give her a cent on the
following morning, and double it every
day during the month, she would not
ask him for any more for the year If
ourGyoung friends will only figure up the
amount, they will find it will constitute
very respectable sum of pocket money.
The promise was thoughtless!y given by

The Superintendent of Freedmen's AT
fairs in Louisiana, in making up his last
annual report, says he has had 1852
blacks settled temporarily on $3.50 acres
of land, who last year raised crops to the
value of S175,00o, and that he had but
few worthless blacks under his care
adding:
81 find that the colored people are not
apt to be Migrants. They have fewer
Migrants than can be found among any
other class of persons, and by far the
fewest beggars. The class usually called
Migrants by the police and the courts
are Industrious and self-supporting."
When the last rebel army surrendered
he sent assistants up Red river to collect
and provide for the blacks, so suddenly
freed. At every place the blacks prompt
| ly went to work, and soon ceased alto
| gether to draw government rations,
| The Assistant at Shreveport soon (July
! 2d) wrote as follows;
"There is a great demand for labor
now, and there are no idle freedmen
about the city. Not ration has been
drawn for any freedman here, except fol
the sick and attendants at the hospital.
Such is the operation Of the Freed
mems Bureau such the reason for the
flendish hate wherewith it is regarded
! by every Copperhead and impenitent
rebel in the land. They detest and seel
its abolition, because it stands between
the freedman and their anxiety TO recon
sign them to virtual if not to lega
slavery. But they have not yet trf

REJECTED PRoPHECIEs.-SOmed tligent
reader of domestic and foreign journals
has amused himself during our recently
closed four years Of war in making spicy
extracts from the London Times, the Sat
urday Review, and other leading British
sheets, as we'll as from the organs of reb-
eldom at the South. These extracts are
now published, with appropriate CON-
ments, in q thick pamphlet, with stout
paper covers bearing the title of Rebel
Drag and British Buster They are very
lively and readable, rich in predictions
where the will was father to the thought,
and affording strong evidence that Pr iu-
dice, like Love and Fortune, is hopeless
~ blind. We can now afford to laugh
over sarCasms that our successes have
deprived of their sting; read by the
light of recent events, the Times is more
amusing than Jest book, as appears
from the subjOined specimens with date
annexed
August %, 1864. "The conclusion

We said the North could never subdue
the South, and the North has now pro-
claimed the same conclusion"
