THAT Town HousE.--A very well written
communication on the subject OF the Saybrook
Town House, has been received, and we should
be tempted to give Il a place but for the fact
that about enough has been said for the present
on this subject Besides, the article in question
is from the same side as the one last published,
the writer Of which rather took the same view
as we do, and framed his letter in spiri, and
object as winding up of the bobbin. We
are quite willing, and so we think are our
readers, 10 rest the case on that, unless further
provocation is given to reopen it. The writer
will, therefore, please excuse us from putting
his article in type. We should be glad to hear
from so clever a writer, on any other subject,
general or local,-upon which he may see
ft to address as. Such pens ought moi spoil
for want of use.

SUMNER ON a New TRAcK.-The great
Massachusetts Senator has placed himself in a
most undignifed and deplorable condition.
Having been the cause of the appointment OF
the French Arms Committee, when summon.
ed before them, he suddenly changes his posi-
ton and declares that he will not appear be-
fore 1t, to testify what lie knows. He further
says that this committee appointed on his own
motion, is an unprecedented and illegal body,
before which he will not appear. The COM
mittee take a different view of the subject and
he will be held to answer for contempt Can
anything more forcibly illustrate the miserable
weakness Of Summers attack on the admins
tration, than his refusal TO bring the grounds
Of that attack TO the test of fair and impair
tial tribunal?

DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION OF
our readers has not suffered from the
ills and varied forms of this hydra
headed tormenter, which originates
from loss of tone in the stomach, or
more particularly in its muscular or
fbrous coating, which becomes pale
and feeble. 1t would require pages to
describe all the symptoms ana various
sympathetic affections Of indigestion,
and the torture to which the dyspeptic
is subjected, but which may be com
pressed into one brief comprehensive
sentence: You feel sick, depressed,
and unit for the duties ofhfe. Never
theless, there is nothing more certain
than that dyspepsia in all Its phases,
can be thoroughly eradicted.
There is but one way to cure indi-
gestion, viz by toning and strengthen
ing the stomach and general system,
gently relaxing the bowels if constlpa-
ted, and regulating the liver if disor-
dered A remedy for this human
peace-destroyer is CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BIrrERs, which have the rare merit of
containing no alcohol, the virtues of
the medicinal California Plants, which
constitute their healing and curing
agencies-being extracted by new
chemical process. The popular YER
dict is that they are the most perfect
article for the stomach, and are to be
taken as circumstances may require,
with the fullest confidence, and that
by their means can the return of this
distressing malady be prevented. We
are satisfied this remedy is of great
value.-Com.

among country folks. The collins were
placed in stable, and were uscl rs re-

storing up baked fruit and other articles in

old man died suddenly. The son (who
was II soldier, quartercI at Bcrlin,) hast

the articles together in one of the collins,
and in the other hal duly placed the NOR
tai remains of him who for 80 many years
was the partner of her life long journey.
The coffin was carried to the grave by the
hands of stout country youths, and followed
I by sorrowing relatives and sympHthizins
ncighbors, while the bells tollei out their
melancholy jirgc. The following day
( the son had to return to the garri-
son. The anxious mother wished to
give him some Of the fruit, etc, that was
packed away to take with him on his
journey: and on going to the remaining
coffin for that purpose what was her hor

coffin had been borne to the grave, ant
now there remained nothing else to b.
done than to dig the first coffin up again
and bury the dead body, while Il seconj
