OYSTER SUPPER AND DONATION AT
CovENTRY--It has been said that
literary men and especially ministers
need their literary food Condensed
Called upon to give freely, they must
manage to receive readily.
Orleans County has discovered an
other truth that concerns the physical
food Of the minister, Albany, Iras-
burgh, and Newport, and other towns
for ought we know, have found that
oySter-suppers are healthy for clergy
men, and withal very pleasant to take.
Then too there is connected with these
suppers certain pecuniaIy favor that
gives zest to the minister's appetite
and makes the beneficial effect more
lasting than a common "stew" would
be. Coventry, never behind in any
good cause, has been trying this "diet"
upon her excellent minister, and though
the full effect cannot now be spoken
OF, there is reason to believe it will be
highly conducive to his health and
happiness.
The Friday on which the sumner
was first appointed proved an ,'unluckv
day" aud it was postponed ON account
OF the weather, till Tuesday the Goth
AT "early candle-Iight" a large com
pany assembled at the church ready
to assist about the bivalves and to snb.
init to the Donation. The Irasburob
Band was in attendance to entertain
with music In their usual good STYLE.
By their frequent mention in the IA
pers this winter in connection with sim.
liar gatherings, we conclude they must
be fond of oysters, or exceedingly
devoted to the welfare of the ministry !
The Coventry choir furnished also
excellent singing and added no little
to the interest of the occasion. While
the tables were preparing in the adj
jacent Village Hall. and while the first
half of the hungry were being fed,
short speeches were made by the chair

"GREAT VICTORY FOR THF SOUTH. -
Under this heading the Norfolk. Va,
Post thus begins an editorial on the
Presidents veto of the Freedman's
Bureau bill:
Since the morning of July 22d.
1861, when the news of the great
Southern victory achieved by Beaure-
gard over Mcdowell, and the awful
rout of the Federal army on the plains
OF Manassas, was borne through the
South, on the wings of the wind as it
were, carrying JOY and iubiIation into
every loyal Southern household, and
gladdenlng every true Southern heart.
there has been no news received with
so much rejoicing by the people of the
South, as that contained in the dis
patch informing them that the Presi-
dent had vetoed the Freedmen's Blu
reau bill. This is the greatest victory
they have achieved during the war
greater THAI any of the fcats of arms
of Stonewall Jackson or Robert E.
Lee; and it has given them more
pleasure than had Gen. Lee been elect
ed Governor of Virginia. They have
found an ally in the President worth
more to them than the alliance of
France or England, and they now be-
GIN to see, even as they saw foreshad-
owed at Manassas, the final triumph
ofthe great Southern cause

The NATURE OF ALCoHOL.-No
scientific experiments on the nature
of alcohol have been more thorough
than those made by Professors Lal-
lemand and Perrin, in France, in the
year 1860. They established these
conclusions:
|. Alcohol is not food. 1t does not
contain a single atom of nutritious
matter.
2. 1t is special modifer of the
nervous system. In moderate dose.
it excites, in large one, it stupefes.
3. 1t is never digested or transform
ed in any manner in the human sys-
TEN.
4. Its tendency is to accumulate
in the brain and in the liver.
5. 1t is eliminated from the system
without diminution of bulk or change
Of nature. The channels of elimina-
ton are the lungs, the skin. and es-
pecially the kidneys.
6. 1t has direct and powerful tend
ency reproduce functional disturbances
and organic alterations of the brain.
the liver and the kidneys.
l. Spirituous liquors owe to the alco-
hol they contain their common prop
critics and the speciality oftheir effects.
Their use is always injurious, and
should never be tolerated save in ex-
ceptional circumstances.
In view of such facts as these, facts
that are scientifically true, how can a
man justify himself in drinking spirit
uous liquors, or in selling them for
others to drink?

was son of the minister. He lived
too in the district where lived Mr..
Cummings. And though this was the
smallest and most unfavorable terri
tory in town for school, yet such
was the inspiring influence of this
noble man and his family, that there
were more boys and girls raised up
there thirsting for an education, and
determined to struggle for it, and who
have goae out to labor iE the higher
employments of life, than in any other
district in town, reckoning up to a re-
cent period, we might perhaps say,
than in all the rest of the town.
Save from that district we can not
think of person who has secured a
liberal education, entered one of the
learned professions, or made such
literary attailments as to secure po-
sltion amongmen who lead and elevate
society.
Three out of the four men we have
mentioned, and some of the other early
settlers, were active and consistent
christian men. They were also men
loving common faith; and that faith
brought them to act harmoniously in
keeping the sabbath, and sustaining
religious meetings; these were held
in private houses, and in barns in the
summer, long before there was any
public house, even a school house, in
which they could convene. They
united in organizing a congregational
church which consisted at first OF only
seven members. In 1927 they settled

He may have failed in drawing the

and the high estimation of all the best

largely, has the town been indebted

President jchnson's Veto, Speech, &c

We publish In our paper this week
president Johnson's objections to the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill, as passed by
large majorities in both houses of
congress. He vetoes the bill. We
are somewhat surprised at this course
of the president, inasmuch as he has
heretofore so frequently and SO warm
ly expressed himself as the friend of
the negro, declaring upon one occasion
that he "would be their Moses to lead
them through the Red Sea and from
the house of bondage" and he still
claims to be their friend, though his
veto Of the bill which was designed to
protect them from the ruthless vio-
lence of their late rebel masters and
to give them all even start with the
whites in the race for property and
education, will not tend to confirm the
fears OF the doubling. We have but
little TO say in regard to the veto. tho
we greatly regret it; still there are
some objections which the president
urges which to us appear very ration
al and worthy of attention, though his
course since he vetoed the bill in
throwing himself into the arms of the
copperhcads and rebel sympathisers
III Washington, will not give the couG-
try any higher idea of his honesty than
that previously entertained. His late
speech from the balcony of the White
House in response to a call from a
a dense crowd Of anti-war democrats
Of the NajlandIgham and Voorhees,
school, shows but too plainly whittier
he is drifting. In that speech he low
cred himself and the dignity of the
presidential Office to the level Of a
ward politician and bar room black
guard. There are portions of that
speech which are excellent, and to
which we heartily assent, but they are
sadly shaded in their surroundings

CRAzY.--For some months past
Chas. Jethro, a young man. % years
of age, in the employ of c. G. Miller,
of this village, as wagon maker, has
been exhibiting very singular, unac-
countable traits. Remarks were
frequently made in reference to his
peculiarities, but he was not presum-
ed to be deranged. About four weeks
ago he came down with lung lever, and
became deranged The fever left, but
Jethro remained raving crazy. seV-
eral times during the past two weeks
he has broken away from his keepers,
and made flying visits to his neigh,
bors. much to their establishment and
fright. Tuesday morning, the authorl-
ties concluded to take him to Brattie-
boro. Cheating him into the belief
that he must take walk for his health,
thev.got him over to the hotel, where
he made a few eloquent speeches,
gesticulating wit h marvellous force
upon the heads and breasts of his at
tondants. After "a brief stay at the
hotel, the landlord invited him TO ride
down to the depot, which invitation
Jethro accepted, with the proviso that
he do the driving. This arrangement
was agreed upon, and the depot team
started off Oh a speed terrifying to
slow drivers. Arrived at the depot,
Jetmo was informed that a person Oh
the train had got into difficulty about
his cattle in Brighton. and wanted
some competent person TO 90 down
and help him settle it, offering to pay
all expenses. DC. Jcthro considered
himself just the man lor the place, and
eagerly accepted the invitation. SO,
alter knocking over Mr.. Spaulding,
who was attending him, and in Jethro's
opinion was a little too familiar, he
jumped aboard the train and started
for Brighton market. but ere this Is
secure in the asylum at Brattleboro.
Ills friends can now look back and ac-
count for his peculiaritieS before his
sickness. One occasion, in Weeks
store, he went into the back ROOM shut
himself in, removed the covers from
fifteen OF twenty butter tubs, and
went around thruSting his finger III
to each tub. The WcekseS, consider
inc this an unusual occupation for a
customer, informed .Jethro that if he
desired anything they would wait up
on him. Jcthro hung his head. said
nothing and in d few moments left the
store. At other times he would stand
still! long time without moving or
speaking. On another occasion he
entered McGafiey's store, and figured
on the Hy leaf of his memorandum half
day. He was bent on getting rich,
aud had by rigid economy-stinting
himSelt-and very hard labor, laid up
about $500. WhiIemsanity was grow
in@ upon him. he spent much time ia
reckoning up effects. and counting his
money. Bat, doubtless. when lie re-
covers from this stroke of misfortune
the poor fellow will be peuniless.-
