CURED An Illinois man has been in
Jacksonville insane asylum for about two
wears under treatment, hut a few days
ago he was pronounced incurable, and
sent homo. On arriving, he spoke to his
girl. and said, "Well, girls, you are
keeping house alone are you p When
his wife entered the room, he started as
from dream, throwing both hands to bis
head and pressing it, exclaiming, "My
God, Jane. thought you were dead; is
it indeed you ?" and seemed completely
overcome by his emotions. The shock
did more for him than medical aid could
do. He recovered his reason entirely, and

DRINK.-In warm weather, with our
dry. or rather drying climate, the demand
for FREQUENT drink becomes imperative.
In the absence of supplies of good, cold
water, 90 in most of our cities, the temp
tation to improper indulgances becomes
vreat. Soda water, what with metallic
fountains improperly made, and syrups
vilelv cOncocted, is in many places posi-
lively poisonous, and in any case more
calculated to increase than to quench
thirst. They are offered at every turn to
tempt the thirsty man to his own mis-
chief And yet there is many man who
would be glad to get q cup of cold water
or glass OF lemonade, natures natural
nd safe offerings, and thus healthily sat
isfed, would let pernicious things alone
It would be worthy of an enlightened
philanthrophy to provide for the distrl-
button Of ice water, if not also lemonade,
,hrough the street and public places at
the cheapest rate. Temperance societies,
by organizing and putting into operation
luch a system, would doubtless do more
toward accom- plishing their grand object
than by multitudes OF tracts, lectures and
public meetings 1t would be an assault
which rum selling would quickly feel,
while the enterprise could hardly fail to
pay its way. It is dilemma that tenn
peranoe people should no longer suffer to
exist, that a man should be forbidden to
take wine, ale, beer, or things stronger,
and have at the same time, no recourse to
pure cold water, free. from the smell OF
taint of whisky. Let US have ice water
boys as plenty as news boys, for when a
man is thirsty he must drink-sanething

OPENING OF A RAILROAD.-Tbe open
ing of the extension of tho Portsmouth,
Great Falls and Conway Railroad to Ossi-
pie Corner, the shire-towni of Carroll
county was celebrated on Monday. The
train leaving Boston with the Pullman
express reached Ossipie at one o'clock
and was welcomed by q blast from the
whistle at Beachman's mills and a salute
of artillery The Wolfeborough band
furnished the music. The officers of the
road were escorted in a decorated chariot
to the Pine River Hotel. where a dinner
was served. The Hon. Benjamin t.
Reed of Boston presided at the table.
The Ossipie region seems to be alive at
this new addition to their wealth. a
large crowd of people were in attendance,
to whom refreshments were served in the
station. A new line of cars from the
Eastern Railroad shops, of elegant de-
sign, made their first trip yesterday. The
guests returned by the evening express
train. The road is now in operation 43A
miles from Brooks Crossing, in South
Berwick, and in a very few weeks will be
extended to West Ossipie, and before
winter to Conway, affording large tract
of country a long desired communication
by rail with Boston.

LIQUOR DEALERS RAMPANT The
rum-sellers of Michigan propose to cen
test in all the courts the law which makes
the vendor of liquor responsible for the
damages to the relatives of the buyer. A
convention of these commercial gentle
men" was recently held in Detroit, to or
ganize resistance against the law.
Michigan and Ohio have very similar
laws concerning this matter. Judgments
rendered for damages against sellers are
n lien on the property of the seller and on
his premises. The natural result is that
great numbers of disreputable saloons are
broken up, and the plaintiffs in almost
every care get the verdict in their favor.
The campsign against public rum. selling
has become so violent that final decision
is found necessary, and the question will
be discussed by the very best talent that
can be employed until the very highest
tribunal has passed it's dictum upon it.
The Ohio dealers may possibly join with
their Michigan brethren.

NEUROLOGY.

This is the 10th commencement OF the
college. During this period more than
thousand have been graduated, and
though some have passed to their hnai
home, many of them are now achieving
honor for themselves and their alma mater
Why this college has SO small number
of students is mystery to ysur reporter
The location is fine and the expenses
moderate. The society is much better
than most places can boast of. The facll-
tiles are abundant for obtaining a good
education The library, museum and
philosophic apparatus all in good order
Indigont students here receive as much
if not more, aid than from any other coll
lege. The buildings are we'll constructed
and improvements are now being made
thereon.
The faculty are sound men and have
the affection of their pupils, Let the peo-
ple of Vermont remember that the rePu-
tation of the college over its future stand
ing rest to some considerable degree IN
their hande, and let them not only con-
tribnte literally to it's support, but which
is more importance, send their sons here
to be educated. We find people in al
most every village of our State who go
out of town to trade, protesting thereby
to buy cheaper and get ia better quality
of goods, when in most every case the
same article could be found at home, and
many times, cheaper. This applies here
Citizens of the State send their children
to other colleges where they profess to be
better educated, but the expenses are
higher, and the same branches are equally
well taught in this college. Men of Yer
mont. sustain Vermont institutions, and
increase the honor and reputation of the
old Green Mountain State. H. D. P.

TEEE SAME OLD NELL.


While the loyal men Of the ia
ton, headed by the Republican
party, were engaged in putting
down the late Shareholders rebell-
ion, that branch of the Democratic
party of the North, which bore the
appropriate sobriquet, 'copperhead,' ,
was most bitter and abusive in its de-
nunciatiors and outcries against
every important movement made, or
measure adopted, bearing in that di-
i'ection. It's object then was to give
all the aid aud comfort it possibly
could to the rebels in the South,
without imperiling its own safety.
The spirit of the rebellion still ex-
lists in the South in the form OF Ku
klux. The object of the Ku klux
Is by intimidation, violence and
fraud, to accomplish that which
persuasion failed to secure. Being
unable to reach the political power
after which they aspired without
securing the negro vote, and having
failed to persuade their former chat
tells to vote them into positions
where they could and would en-
deayor to disfranchise them, they
then organized bands of disguised,
midnight assassiils, called the ku
Klux, and began their deeds of cru
city, theft and murder. The out
RACES sworn to before the Congress
sional Committee at Washington.
committed upon black and white
men, and women and children. too.
all over the South, would fill
thousands of pages. They were
acts characterized by the meanest
diabolism and most tiendish atroc-
ity. Instances by the hundred of
manning and mutilating, before ard
after death, are sworn to-. Especial
hostility is shown toward Northern
Methodist Ministers, to school
teachers and schooLhouses. The
object of all this cruelty and muir
der was, and is, (for the work is still
going on,) to create such a reign of
terror among the Republicans, white
and black, as to either drive them
from the State, or compel them to
vote the Democratic ticket. Hun
dreds lave been compelled to adopt
the latter alternative, being unable
to get away.
The point we wish to arrive at
is this !: Congress, in view of these
we'll authenticated facts, passed the
ku klux Bills. We may remark,
however, that while these acts of
cruelty and wrong were transpiring
III the South, Northern Democracy
lad no words of condemnation
against them, but on the contrary,
showed its sympathy with the ku-
klux movement, by persistently. de-
lrying the existence of such an or
ganization, and then raising a most
terrible cry and squawk Of indigna-
ton and vitupelation when the
government proposed. to. interfere
with it. When the Ku Klux Bill
passed, authorizing the President

even, if the emergency might re- !.

but now since the President comes
out, and IN a proclamation receiiting It'll
