By Way OF Contrast.

BY Way OF contrast.
New years night was welcomed at Z. Vassalbo-
ro' with band concert from Watervillc, accom-
panied by number of both sexes, who are fond Of
Aeetfoot exercise; and they with few ofthe town
people made merry with music and dancing till a
late hour.
Old men and maidens, young men and children
participated in the gayetes of the evening.
But there are many ways to be joyful, and some
of said company doubtless fond Of variety, change
the order Of exercises by partaking too freely OF
that beverage which causes so much disgrace in
otherwise respectable circles but to tell the story
the shortest way, a quarrel ensued, with bottle
for weapon of sufficient size TO remove tooth from
its owners mouth and leave such wounds in the
head and face as to cause considerable solicitude.
One old man with whitened locks in attempting to
serve as peace maker, got several bruises which
we think, should have reminded him of "Poor
Tray" Blood was scattered about the door Of
the Hall, the next morning and those of
US unaccustomed to such a melee, shuddered.
Monday evening Jan. 25th a company assembled
in the same Hall, but for far different purpose,
and reform Club was organized. Such an Or
ganization is much needed here and the advocates
Of the temperance cause earnestly hope that good
results may be its issue. SELDOM

Relief for the Destitute.

Sioux City, January 80. The executive COM
mittee appointed at a meeting Of the citizens of
the settlers of Northern Nebraska, Southern Ds-
kotah and Northwest Iowa, whose lands have
been desolated by grasshoppers. They urge es-
pecially on the public the necessity for seed for
the farmers. Food, clothing and money are also
needed. The territory where aid is needed is
principally in the counties of Cedar, Dixon, Knox
and Dakotah, in Nebraska; the settled portion of
Southern Dakota and that portion of Iowa situat-
ed in the upper Des Monesivalley. The commit
tee assure contributors that donations sent to
them will be judiciously distributed. The appeal
is signed by Mayor Warner and other prominent
citizens.

Congressional Proceedings.
HOUSE.

aOUSE.
WASHINGTON, January 80.
The proceedings in the House were brought
to close at half.past four by adjournment, on
motion of Butler Of Massachusetts,. Up to that
time nothing was heard in the House but the voice
Of the reading clerk drawling out names Of mem
bers who had voted on the various motions during
the fllibustering proceedings. Several democrats
kept scanning over the record containing the Of
fetal report of the proceedings to see that the
clerk did NOT skip any names or omit anything in
the way. Some seventeen or eighteen roD-calls
had been made throughout Of the seventy-seven
taken, so that it would have been daylight on Sun
day morning before the journal would have been
concluded.
A motion to adjourn, msde by Eldredge Of Wis
consin, was voted down, simply because it came
from the democratic side of the House; but i'm
mediately the same motion was made by Butler
and carried.
That was the easiest and shortest way to dispose
Of the long journal of We Int sday's proceedings,
and when the House meets on Monday the only
journal to be read will be few lines Of to-day's
proceedings.
During the day an attempt was made to have a
bill passed to pay the interest on the 1856 bonds Of
the District Of Columbia, but Holman of Indiana,
objected and it consequently failed.

DR.. Piny Earle, Supt. Of the State Lunatic
Hospital, Northampton, Mass, veteran IN the
treatment of insanity, 10 speaking of inebriatcs,
who sometimes find their way into our hospitals 70,
the insane, uses the following significant language
in his last annual report:
No man is more insane than is the drunkard
while the drunk is on. No dwelling idiot is more
silly than the inebriate when in the stage Of inco
herent, nonsensical chatter, or more demcnted
than he when he is lying dead drunk in the gut
ter. No raviug maniac is possessed Of more posi-
tive delusions than the Incorporate drinker when
in that beatifc exaltaton in which, like the coun-
tryman recently at Detroit, he declares in reply to
cautionary word from policeman, I'm a
thunderbolt from the north I'm chain-lightnng
rolled up in ball and stuck full of red hot bowie
knives!' But the nebrate has, in some respects,
the advantage Of the insane man proper. His de-
lusions, however glorious, more transitory.
They pass like visions OF the past" They are but
the rainbows that often accompany moisture and
disappear when that moisture is gone. Even the
invincble hero at Detroit when walked on the fol-
lowing morning with vacant watch-fob, empty
pockets. blackened eyes and wounded head, and
asked by the policeman if he wasn't the thunder
bolt of the north, slowly and sadly replied, "No, l
haint 'zackly athunderbolt, but I'm the - fool
who thoup chit he Was"

visit to the West, and except for the gift concert,
there is little probability that our citizens would
ever have heard his wonderful performances. In
