SCROFULA.
SCROFULOUS HUMORS,

II Vcge.ine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies suffering for years, is it not con-
elusive proof, if you sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? 1t works in the blood in the circu-
hting fluid. 1t truly be called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source Of disease orig
mates in the blood; and medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate,
has any just claim upon public attention. When
the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant either
from change Of weather or climate, want of exer-
else, irregular diet, or from any other cause, the
Nesetine will renew the blood, carry of the put
rid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels, and inpart tone of vigor to the whole
body. The conviction IL, in the public mind as
we'll as in the medical profession, that tho rene
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the cure Of di-
sease, than mineral medicines Vegetine is com
posed Of roots, barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant.
In Scrofula the Negetine has performed wonder
iul cnres, where many other remedies have fail
cd, as will DO seen by d few Of the many testiino-
nisls given.

The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1872-08-27

Rev. G. ". Denison, OF Washington,
has made some very damaging statements
as to the Presidents personal habits,
offering to substantiate with proofs his
statement that President Grant is much
of the time so drunk as to be incompetent
to do public business If this were true
it would be sufficient reason, in our judg-
ment, for refusal to support him for the
Office Of Chief Executive of the United
States. But, 10 the absence of Mr.. Den
ison's proofs, and with ample proofs to
the contrary at hand, we must conclude
that Mr.. Denisons statements are not
well founded. 1t is always safe to re-
ceive such statements with regard to can
didates, especially in times OF great ex.
element, with grain Of allowance. But
when the allegations are made with so
much postiveness as these were, and so
contrary to all our preconceived notions,
we are glad to get something definite
from men who ought to know, and whose
record for truth is SO very clear as that
Of the Hon. Henry Wilson, himself an
earnest advocate Of the temperance prin-
riples. Mr. Wilson positively denies Mr..
DenisOns statements so far as they apply
TO himself. He furthermore states that
General Grant is not especially intemper-
ate though not a teetotaler. Senator
Ednunds also says that President Grant
is not an Incorporate man, and who
would know better than our Senator il
the contrary were true. And now comes
another testimony equally clear and con-
vincing-that Of the Rev. DR.. Rankin, a
graduate Of our College and well known
in Middlebury, who says: "a friend
lately wrote me from Vermont, inquiring
whether the current stories that political
enemies are circulating respecting Presi.
dent Grants social habits have any
foundation. So far as | can observe, Sc
far as l can learn from men, themselves
teetotalers, who have frequent access t
him, there is not one shadow of founda
ton for them"
ale is not a teetotaler but he is
very moderate eater aud drinker. II,
has no habit of drinking TO which he is
slave"
This is probably the truth Of the mat
ter. 1t is to be regretted that he drink
at ali We condemn the habit utterly
We consider it flaw in our ticket-al
imperfection which we wish was no
there. But we do not think it sufficien
reason to refuse our support to the nomi
nees Of the Republican party. Their
are other considerations of vital impor
lance. If we cannot find perfection i
our candidates, we must do the best W
can. We have long since come to tn
conclusion that absolute perfection. eve
in candidates for office, is tolerably rare
So far as they are wrong we are ready I
condemn them, whether of our own part
or the opposition. So far as they al
right We are equally ready to common
and endorse. President Grant, like otht
men, has his faults and weaknesses, L
doubt. 1t is not strange that they oil
dragged to the light by his enemies. An
it is not entirely an unheard of thing thu
faults of candidates are exaggerated W
must expect that But now we seem I
have got at the truth of this matter an
may ACT undsrstandngly 1t is not 8

We regret that II is thought necessary
for the purposes Of political propaganda
ism to make false issues aud misrepresent
the facts, and resort to all sorts of con-
temptible claptrap for party euds. A
cause which has no better basis ought to
fail, and we are sorry that all parties, to
some extent, are guilty As for instance,
a great hullabaoo has been made over
Grceley's signing Jeff Davis bail bond,
and Wilson's resolution which was offered
in the Senate March 22d. 1867. We
think the resolution is an honor to the
heart of the noble Senator, and we give
it as follows:
"lEdocas, Jefferson Davis, n citizen Of the
State of Mississippi, was captured by military
| force in the service Of the United States on the
llth Of May, 1861 and has since been held in clos,
confinement a. n prisoner of war, and prison
er of State in Fortress Monroe Virginia; and
! "NhGsgs The said Jefferson Davis stand
charged on the highest authority with the heinou
crime of conspiring to murder the late Presiden
of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, and i
also indicted for treason; and
| "U-hvcas, The said Jefferson Davis has per
! sislently declared his innocence Of the offence
charged against him, AID, through his legal I'd
visors, by all means known to the law has sough
and demanded n pnblic speedy trial by duo pro
cess of law before a civil tribunal Of competcn
Jurisdiction; therefore,
"Resoiucd, by :hc Senate, the House Of Repre-
scntatives concurring, That the longer confnc
tAent of tho sad Jefferson Davis without trial
or the assignment of specific time for a trial,
not in accordance with the demands Of Justice tn
spirit Of the laws, and the requirements of th
Constitution; and that common justice, sound pol
icy and the national honor unite in recommend
ing that the said Jefferson Davis be brought to
speedy trial, or that he be released from coninC
mont on bail or on his own recognizances.
1t is the same in spirit as Greeley
act, and both are commondable ratho
than otherwise

On motion, committee Of five from
the Liberal Republicans and five from the
Democrats was appointed, who reported
the following resolutions, which were
adopted
Whereas, The Democrats and Liberal Rcpub-
Leans Of Addison County. having mot in joint
convention for the purpose Of nominating cand-
dates to fill the County Offices for the next year
ensuing
Resolved, That we recognize in tho action Of
the Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions firm
determination on the part Of the people to throw
off the yoke of party tyranny and bondage, under
which we arc now laboring, and to place in Office
men of sterling integrity and through whom our
country will be redeemed from its present cor
rupt and disginceful rule
Resolved, That We heartily endorse tho action
Of the Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions, and
will use all honorable endeavors to secure tho
election of tho nominees Of that convention, viz;
Hon Horace Greeley and Hon. b, Gritz Brown
for President and Vice President of tho U. S., be-
lieving that by so doing will accomplish for
our common country the overthrow of corruption
and usurpaton Of power with which she is now
afflicted.
Resoiued. That we depricate all kinds of op.
preston, and especially that political effusion
which spring from the head of the nation-whicl
is developed in using 4 political lash to whiT
into tho Grant party--all who hold any kind OIL
place under tim Government.
Resoiucd That we Invite and call upon al
! good and true citizens, who have tho interest o.
our beloved country at heart to unite with us II
overthrowing an administration, under whose
rule our country is rapidly approaching ccntriliz
alton and monarchy, and once more place her up
on an honest and true republican basis.
On motion Of Mr. Cobb the Conven
ton then adjourned until 2 O'Clock p. m
Agrceably to adjournment the meeting
was called to order by the President.
Gustavus Austin of Burlington, being
called upon, made very telling speech
in which he expressed his great regart
for the great and good Horace Greeley
His manner was such as to convince CIV
erybody that heard him of his honest,
and sincerity. lie was able to give
reason for the hope that was within him
Mr.. McGinnis, from Richmond, wa
then introduced and spoke with grea
carnestness and sincerity, asking all pres
ent to vote for Mr.. Greeley as they val
ued their country aud homes. Mr.. Nc
Ginnis' speech was listened to with earn
cstncss by all present until its close.

took both hands hold Of the obstruction,
but could not stir it, and at this time the
boy was carried under and down the

Tor several hours, and it was found near

Newton e. Thompson sustained heavy

their works.
At Brandon village the persons living
10 the houses near the river were aroused
about a o'clock a. m by the heavy roar
of the fast rising river, and many of the
houses on Furnace street were emptied
of their inmates by the fears Of the pow
erfu body of water rushing over tho dam.
1t rose so that it flowed over the road in
front of the Bank block, but the greatest
damage was to the grist mill owned by
Cahee Brothers. The water broke away
and washed under their blacksmith shop
connected with the mill, and large body
of water ran through the mill square
Outlying it out badly and carrying off the
underpnning Of the shop, filling the first
floor of the mill full Of water and carry
ing out the underpinning of their house
adjoining the mill. Below the mill il
carried out a part of the foundation under
the machine shop of Sumner Briggs. II
washed the gardens and fat below the
mill, and has covered them with sand and
mud. The damage cannot fully be deter
mined at present. 60"

DRUNKENNESS IN Hon AND Low PLAc-
Es,-Heretoiore, taking the partisan news
pape as authority, drunkenness has
been vice confined to the lower orders
and quite unknown in the higher walks of
society. II a poor Irishman got drunk,
the record in the police court proceedings
was short, sharp and decisive Pat
OToole, drunk, 50 and costs - but if the
Hon. Demosthenes Smith came to town to
to make speech and gets so drunk that
he could not hold his head up, aud did
not know his oratorical mouth from shot
gun, it was: "The speaker became severely
lndisposed to leave his engagement unful-
filled" Or, "As the Hon. Demosthenef
Smith was getting into the carriage tc
proceed to the grounds, he suddenly
became dizzy and fell, his head striking
the curbstone with such violence that il
was feared he had fractured his skull
lie was mediately carried to his room
and physician called, who promptly
prescribed salt and water. Proiuse yom
iting followed, and the patient aiterwarc
fell into a sound slumber. We are hap
Ply to announce that this morning Mr.
Smith is very much better, retaining NJ
traces Of his late alarming indispositlon
except some nausea and considerable
headache" We are glad the Springfel,
Republican has let the wi out OF TIL
fraud, by admitting that an candidate 70
yice-president can get drunk like an or
binary citizen, aud that his position
affords his friends no sufficient excuse 10
telling lie about the transaction. -IOfc
