S1n:-The New England dinner you
so kindly noticed, was given by the la
dies Of the Presbyterian Society last
Thursday evening, and proved an en-
joyable affair. This was certainly true
Of the pork and beans, pumpkin pie,
brown bread ct al genus, as any locker
on could see from the way they disap-
peared.
Grandmamma and papa and their
family, Martha Jane, Lucy Maria,
Frank, Jedediah, Aunt Polly, &C., did
honor to their Puritan ancestry in
thoughtful attention to their guests.
The evening passed very pleasantly in
social converse, sandwiched with music.
Mr.. William Fifield contributed not
a little to the entertainment by reading
a poem at the table, prepared by his
father, Mr.. D: s. Fi6eld, for tho occa.
sion. He being the last arrival from
New England, was just the man to
thus pleasantly to surprise US. An &C.
count Of the supper would be incom.
plete without the poem. The author
kindly conscnting submit in it full.
After supper its author lined it Ia
Puritan and it was sung to Old Humid
red:
Sons Of Now England! here we meet,
Ana with good cheer each other greet,
With cheerful hearts we meet and dine,
Without the aid Of beer or vino.
We've left Now England's hills behind
| For Minnesotas healthful cline;
Those dear old hills VIC once loved best,
For the broad prairies of tho west.
Some from that land we'll known to fame,
Nate sacred by poets name,
Where Burns, once touched his tuneful Tyre,
And babe a wondering world admire.
We care not from what lands ye came,
We welcome all, and oil the same,
And hope to have pleasant time,
While you sit down with US to dine.
On tables loaded now it seems,
With yankee brown bread, pork and beans,
With doughnuts, such made by mother,
BY twisting one around the other.
Free, free to oil, but mind you well,
W. want dollar for that bell,
That bell, which every Sabbath day,
Win summon youEto church, to pray.
Or If to science you're inclined
Nv Iccturca fO imnrovo <ho mind
Then you will hear its joy full sound
Through all the village streets rcsound.
We hope tho time is very near,
When VIC its cheerful Totes shall hear,
Then We will meet without delay,
And celebrate its natal day.

REMOVING THE CAPITAL.

From the Clarksburg Conservative.l
The unequivocal sentiments OF the
people Of this county upon the removal
of the capital as expressed at the meet
ing on Monday give to the member;
who represent this county chart by
which 10 steer and make plain theil
path Of duty.
1t is true there has been some little
talk about the danger WHICH the
opening of the question would threaten
the adoption of the new Constitution.
This objection has been met in several
plans proposed, and our members have
before them a direct point clearly de-
fined to them by the people they repre-
sent and in which there is no uncer'
tain direction.
The sentiments of our delegates on
the question have been reserved, but we
think they have no reason to mistake
the wishes of the people as to their
proper course. Being elected to speak
| for us. they can have no occasion for
misunderstanding the plain precept oil
public opinion, in which there are few
if any men Of either party who dis,
sent. The text is removal, and he
must be blind man who fails to read
that such is the will Of an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the members Of both
parties.
From the Morgantown Post.
The people of Monongalia, we believe
do not feel enough interest in the cap
ital removal to send delegates to Graf
ton. The question of removal excites
us about as much as the agitation OF
the question of the removal Of the
National capital from Washin 5ton to
St. Louis.
From the Berkeley Union.l
A meeting of some of the citizens OF
Taylor county, held at Grafton, on the
9th inst adopted resolutions looking to
the removal of the Capital. The reso-
lutions propose a general convention to
convene at Grafton on the 25th inst.
The object is to get the subject Of the
removal of the Capital before the Con.
stitutional Convention. 1t is to be hoped
that this vexed Capital question will at
some time within the present century
be settled, and that the location will be
at some point on the American Con-
tinent.
From the Grafton Sent!nel.l
1.-THE editor Of the Wheeling Mte!N'
geacsr is in favor o. the capital remain
ing at Charleston why don't he say so
plainly? He seems not 10 have suffi-
cient bravery to place himself in line OF
battle. We are most heartily tired Of
his system of guerilla warfare.
We believe very large majority o.
fhe people Of the State desire removal
of the permanent seat, and we be
lieve further that they will compel
their rulers to yield to their wishes,
the i'll boding prophesies of the death
telling seer who runs the Intelhigencer
to the contrary, Notwithstanding.

County DelegatiOn-How the Con-
xeutiOn was not Adjourned.

INorE-The editor of the Sunday Ne'rS has
ha nded us the following letter:.which was

Editor Of Sunday News.
CHARLESTON, January IS, 1872.
The three wise men Of Gotham who
went TO sea in a bowl were about as
much at home in that enterprise as
we're the three wise men sent by
your City Council, equipped with chic,
reform, sponges and bags with which
to kidnap and carry off the Constl'u'
tional Convention now in session in this
CITY. The eminent diplomacy OF these
gentlemen is fully equal to the manage
inert of township or ward primary
meeting, but lamentably short for the
purposes of the mission upon which
they were sent. Organizing ability
must lead in these greater enterprises;
and executive abili,y-a power TO exc
cute with promptness, boldness and
certaiutv-must follow closely there
after. Cold and snaky diplomacy goes
but a short distance on such occasions.
The failure, on Yesterday, Of the pro-
posed removal OF the Convention was
owing to the lack Of organization and
a proper drill among the friends OF the
project. Even the motion to lay the
PROPOSITION on the table was made by
your own dear and eminent Miller, and
several friends OF adjournment voted
for the motion to table, supposing tina!
to be a part of the Wheeling tactics
After the affair was over, Richelieu
Wilson, the first joint Of the High Com
mission, cursed the incompetent,
laundering cowardice OF the delegation
from Ohio county, in terms neither
polite nor mild; while the delegation
rretorted upon him with Anglo-Saxon
bravery.
1t looks as if Wheeling had per
mitted herself to be made the cats paw
OF Parkersburg, aud it the Convention
is adjourned from this place at all, i
will not be 10 Wheeling, OF the resu!
of this move, however, you will know
bv telegraph ere this reaches you.
The Legislature will not get fully tc
work before next week. The sentiment
Of all the best members is that little
legislation should be done, and thai
little promptly, and an early adjourn
ment secured. y. T.

An Appeal 10 Reason.

Health would be much more carefully
guarded than 1t is at present, and the aver
age of human life heightened by many
wears, If common sense and the light of ex.
perience were accepted by the universal
public as their medical monitor and guide.
The true philosophy OF health is simple. 1t
consists in retaining from indulgences and
imprudences which impair the vital forces,
and in supplying any deficiency of vital
power and constitutional vigor that may
exist, by invigorating and Alternative treat

practice: as a tonic and stomachic the most
