HOW THEY cor THEIR MONEYS WORTH FROM A

The Chester Ne'oS, Of Thursday, has the follow
lug:

Ben Morris restaurant yesterday and called for
an oy ster stew each, which being promptly sup
piled. they uubuttoned their vests and the top
button OF their pants and commenced Thinking
that every condiment on the counter was intend-
cd 10 be used, they pepperel, salted, mustarded,
saucsd, vinegared, and would have sugared the
luscious mess had not the clerk considerably re-
moved the bowl III
They next pounded crackers up by the score,
and when they were consumed they repeated the
process, and again, saving one or two oysters for
appearance sake. Several young gentlemen who
had been watehIpg their vOracious appetites, bade
the genial landlord have an eye to profits. They
called for more crackeTs-they had alTpady con-
sumed three pounds and a half each they were
supplied and at last they dessted, topping up the
whole mess with final oyster. They rendered
their twenty cents, and Benny gave them press
ing invitation to call again and bring some other
members OF their family, which they promised
to do. They winked at each other as they left,
and were heard to mutter that they always heard
Chester landlords were fools, but now they knew
it. Benny says the reason why he gave them such
a pressing ipVItatlOn was because he is g1ing to
add a horseEhip and stomach pump 10 the usual
