THE Ne,os and Advertiser of last week
made the statement that the town has
no law to justify the confiDing in the
lookup of criminals. This is a mis-
take in every particular. If the editor
of that paper will read the act ofincor-
poration in pamphlet laws of 1867, he
will find. that the town has the same
power to commit to the lookup all
offenders, (even delinquenttax payers)
as is invested in the constable of a
county to commit all persons charged
with crime, to the county Jail. The
law is very full on the matter even
naming the fines and the limits to the

Why oysters should be eaten raw is explained
by DR.. VIM. Roberts, in his lecture on Digestion.
He says that the general practice OF eating the
oysters raw is evidence that the popular judgment
upon matters Of diet is usually Trustworthy The
fawn colored mass, which is the delicious pOr-
tion OF tie sh is it's liver, and is simply mass Of
glycOgen Associated with the glycogen, but with.
held from actual contact with it during life, is its
appropriate digestive ferment-the hepatic
diastase The mere crushing OF the oyster be-
tween the teeth brings these two bodies together.
and the glycogen is at once digssted without any
other help than the diastase. The raw, or merely
warmed oyster IS self-digestve. But the advantage
of this provision is wholly lost by cooking for the
heat Immediately destroys the associated fer
ment and a cooked oyster has to be digested. like
any other food by the eaters digestive powers.
my dear sir. do you want to ruin your diges-
tionf" asked Prof, Houghton Of Trinity College,
one day OF a friend who had ordered brandy and
water with his oysters in Dublin restaurant,
Then he sent for glass Of brandy and glass OF
Guinness Xxx, and put oyster in each, In
very short time there lay IN the bottom OF the glass
OF brandy tough, leatheTy substance resembling
the hngsr Of kid glove, while in the porter there
was hardly trace Of the oyster TO be found This

Mrs. Anne Royal was at that time the only
interviewer and the only female writer for
the press at Washington. She was the widow
of a Tennessee revolutionary officer, and she
first visited the capital to secure q pension;
but iailing in that, she devoted herself to
personal literature. Then she managed to
secure an old Ramage printing press and a
font of battered, long-primer type, with
which, aided by runaway apprentices and
tramping journeymen printers, she published
on Capitol Hill, for several years,
small weekly sheet called
the Huntress. Every person of any
distinction who visited Washington received
a call from Mrs. Royal and if they sub

temper John d. Adams described her as
going about like yirago-errant in en-
chanted armor, redeeming herself from the

Mrs. Royals tongue at last became so I'M
endurable that she was formally indicted by
| the grand jury as 4 common scold, and tried
in the Circuit Court before Judge Cranch.
His honor charged the jury at length, re-
viewing the testimony and showing that, if
found guilty, she must be ducked in accord
ance with the English law in force in the
District OF Columbia. The jury found her
guilty but her counsel begged his honor the
| Judge to weigh the matter, and not be the
| first to introduce a ducking-stool, which had
been obsolete in England since the reign of
Queen Anne, as the Introduction of such an
engine OF punishment might have the effect
of increasing criminals Of this class If
the Greek legislators would not enact a
I punishment for a crime not unknown to
them, lest it should induce persons to COM
nit that olrense, the court should not permit
the introduction of the ducking stool, lest it
might lead to an increase of common scolds.
This argument had weight, and fine was
imposed on Mrs Royal, which was duly
paid.
The Washington papers, up to this time,
contained very little of what has since been
known as local news A parade, an inangu-
ration, or the funeral of a distinguished per-
son would receive brief mention, but the
pleasant gossip of the day was entirely
ignored. The first ono who chronicled
