On Friday of last week, at his residence
in this place, died PhHIpp Clegg, a?t 54.
The deceased has been for many years a
highly respected citizen of this place, hav
ing resided here almost all the time after
he left his native Isle of Man. Tp to with
in a year he was in posession of the most
perfect health, but having taken a severe
cold, some months since, it finally ended
in the pulmonary disease which caused his
death. Th funeral service was conduct
ed by the Masonic Fraternity, of which
the deceased had long been a member, on
Sunday last. - .. '
A few days since Mr. T. Whitaker
showed; us some tint) specimens of his
handicraft, in the shape of two beautiful
bound books of music, which are intended
for presentation the one to King William
of Prussia and the other to Prince Bis
marck. The various! musical composi
tions are by Dr.' Henri Sutter ot this
place, who is the Director of the Paines
ville Grand Conservatory of Music. Al
together the presents are artistic and well
worthy of being given to even so distin
guished personages as the proposed re
cipients. , When the flews of the lire in , Chicago
came upon us so appallingly, wnen an
were so horrified that they thought but lit
tleof sending relief to. the needy, the
members of the High School Retorical So
ciety, of this place, came forward and said
they wodld add ten dollars to a sulwcrip-
tion should one be raised. Certainly this
was most magnanimous and commendable
on the part of the hoys composing that so
ciety, as they had planned to make an ex
penditure of the surplus fund, from which
they were to derive immediate ploasure
and benefit.
' T'ksterday' Friday ' morning Albert,
eldest son of C. O. Childs met with a most
terrible accident. While out nutting with
his little brother he fell from the top of a
chestnut tree a distance of nearly twenty
feet, striking and tumbling from limb to
limb until he reached the ground. His in
juries were so great as to prevent him from
moving and his parents being summoned
he was carried home, when Drs. Beardslee
tad'BiW - n weinii(edt TTpon their
arrival they found the little fellow in a
truly pitiable condition. His left shoulder
aud left hip were both dislocated, 'while
his right thigh bone was broken short off
and the' end was projecting two inches
throughthe flesh. The fracture was set
and the dislocations reduced and at last
accounts the sufferer was doing quite as
well as could be expectedi under the cir
cumstances.
Passing along one of our streets the
other evening, our reporter was attracted
by'a most charming picture in the window
of a certain, dwelling wherein reside a
newly-married couple. The better-half
was seated by the centre-table, while the
lovely partner of his joys and sorrows

Some two weeks since the catalogue of
the Painesville Grand Conservatory of
Music was laid upon our desk through the
courtesy of Dr. Henry Sutter, the Director.
Until this week, however, we have had no
time to examine it at all, and even now
only in a very cursory manner. Judging.
! however, from the names of the Faculty
and the many testimonials as to their
abilities, we have no hesitation in saying
that the institution Is a decided gain to our
place. The Doctor expresses himself as
well satisfied with the patronage he is re.
ceiving. and we trust that it mar continue
to equal his expectations.
Shortly alter tne news of the great
Chicago Fire reached this place a call was
issued by tbe Mayor for a mass meeting to
be held at the Court House on Tuesday
afternoon for the purpose of consulting as
to what a at ion ought to be taken by our
citizens toward contributing to the relief
of the sufferers. AVe are sorry that we are
unable to give the proceedings of that
meeting but we cannot do so for tbe simple
reason that the whole thins was a
lizzie. Commendable Enerirv! Philanthro
pic Community! !
Later Since the above was written
further action has teen taken in the mat
ter by the ladies and active measures are
being inaugurated to contribute to tbe re
lief of the sunerers. Contributions of
clothing and other necessaries have been
made, and a committee of ladies are busily
at work in Moodey's Hall prepareing the
various articles to be sent way. We are
requested to say that any contributions of
clothing, etc., which it may be wished to
onvard can be sent down to 3Ioodey's
Hall where they will receive the prop'er
attention. The hour of going to press pre

Probate Court.
The Tuesday after the death of Seymour
H. Rexford of Mentor, O., which death oc
curred on the 29th of September, 1871, Mr.
.1. M. 'Wells came before the Probate C ourt
w ith the will ot the late Rexford in which
he-r-Mr. AVells was mentioned as execu
tor. The will was proved and "Wells ap
pointed executor. On the Friday follow
ing came Reuben P. Harmon with a subse
quent will to be proved. Mr. Wells conies
however to protest this will, upon which
examination was commenced and contin
ued for some timp. Not being settled how
ever, the case was continued until Wed
nesdav next.
Hymen ial.
On Wednesday evening of this week the
friends and relatives of bride aud groom
gathered together at the residence of the
bride's father to witness the marriage of
O. G. Tuttie, Esq, to Emma M., daughter
of A. R. B:iker, Esq., all of this place.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev,
Jay Youmans, and was followed by the
hearty and cordial congratulations and
Well wishes from all present for the hap
piuess and prosperity of the newly wedded
couple. After an evening of pleasure the
two who were henceforth to be but one
started on their bridal tour, followed by
the kindest wishes of all who knew them.

At the residence of her daughler, Mrs. J.
F. Schofield, in this place, on Saturday
October 7th, Mrs. Deborah Hallock, ait 74.
With the falling leaves that are borne
away by the autumn winds, are many of
the faces and forms, familiar to us from
early childhood, being carried across the
river and lost to our sight forever. The
deceased had resided here for nearly half
a century and was endeared to all her
f. lends, by her qualtities of kindness, af
fection and faithful attachment. For
many years a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of this place, she had
ever lived the life of a true and consistent
christian. But one member of her family
Mrs. J. F. Schofield is left tomonrn her
loss. Her last illness, though brief, was
very severe in its physical suffering, but
her fortitude prevented the utterance of a
single murmur. The funeral service was
conducted from the house on Sunday af
ternoon last.
Narrsw Escape.
LastTusday morning, just before sun
rise, Mr. J. H. Hodges of Concord, drove
up to his father's gate with a span of tine
horses. Leaving his boy Gaylord in the
wagon he stepped up into the yard to
speak to his father. Shortly after he
heard the boy ery to the horses, and up
on turning around saw them running at
full speed down tho road. They ran,
however, but about ten or fifteen rods
when their course was arrested by an ap
ple tree. As the wagon struck the tree
the pole snapped in two, one part of it
striking one of the horses in his hind leg
such a blow as to tear the flesh severely
and break the bone above the gambrel
joint. The boy was found under the wa:
on box which was bottom side up m a
critical position. His father commenced
immediately to extricate him, but this,
however, was a difficult job, as the horse
that was hurt was lying in such a position
that much of his weight came on the front
end of the wagon under which lay the
boy. After straning every muscle Mr. II
succeeded in raising the box enough to
allow his son to crawl out.
' ,We call this a very narrow escape for
tho young boy, and think, as did Mr. H
that it was only the death of the horse
that saved the life of the boy. We sympa
thize with Mr. Hodges in his loss of so
valuable a. horse as was this one, but
must congratulate liiin upon the safety of
his son.
At. Ht J allies.
On Wednesday evening of last week the
church of St. James was tilled at an early
hour by those who came to witness the
marriage ceremony about to be celebrated
between GRouriE B. Pratt and Mary
Phase, eldest daughter of C. C. Pease,
sq. of this place.
For the last two years Painesville has
borne the palm from neighboring towns
for its elegant and brilliant weddings.
Each succeeding one seemed to take its
stand in advance of all others, either for
magnificence or for the taste which gov
erned its surroundings. On the present
occasion the delicate aud appropriate
preparations gave ample proof of the af
fection and refinement that had dictated
them. The marble font in front of the
hancel was filled with beautiful floral
treasures, while baskets of fragrant blos
soms were pn either desk. Within the rail
stood a canopy formed of brigbthued ever
green, festooned with trailing wreaths of
roses and supported by columns of living
foliage. The decorations were chaste and
beautiful in every respect.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Thomas B. Wells, who stood awaiting the
bridal party as it came down the broad
aisle, while the air was filled with the or
gan tones of a wedding march. First
came the ushers Mcssers.C. C. Paige, H
H. Jackson, A. Carlisle and E. Pratt
and then tue uriaesmaius and grooms
men. Miss Laura Steele, daughter of
the Hon. George W. Steele and cousin of
tbe bride acted as first and Miss Mary
Green as second bridesmaid, while Mr,
Oldroyd of Columbus and William Pratt,
cousin ol the groom, were respectively
first and second groomsmen. As the wed

bridesmaids and groomsmen separated on
either side, while bride and groom passed
up the teps and knelt, in prayer.

Bird'a-Eye View of Painesville
borne weeks since we noticed and rec
ommended to the patronage of our citizens
a lithograph engraving of this place, which
was proposed to be gotten up and ready
for delivery in October. A full description
of the work was published, together with
the promise on the part of the proprietors
that the work should be accurate, and
worthy the patronage of all. A dav or
two since we received a call from Mr.
Patcheu who is now in town delivering
the engraving. From an examination of
the""View" we are satisfied $hat it Is all
that was promised, and itis certainly even
more correct than we anticipated it would
be.
The view is taken from a point south
east of the town; the roads, railways,
business houses, public buildings, etc, are
correctly shown; the streets can be traced
at a glance, the names are distinct and the
private dwellings are accurately and deti
natelv located.
Altogether the "View" is artistic in style,
faithful in detail and will make a hand
some ornament in anv parlor. Mr. Patch-
en informs us that he has a few extra
copies which will be furnished, first to
those subscribers who may desire to se
cure more than they at first thought, and
second, to any others that may wish them

so that the copies now here in the hands of
Mr. Patchen are the only ones that can be
bad. Subscribers and others should bear
this in mind and not lose the opportunity
to secure a picture which will not only be
an ornament but a valuable reference in
the future.
Diea.
At his residence in Mentor, Sent. 29th IS71,
Sevmotir II, Rexford, iu the 65th year of his
age.
His father ( Joel Rexford) removed with
his family, from Vermont to 3Ientor, Ohio,
1817. Seymour was then a lad of 8 years.
Mentor was little more than an unbroken
forest, the inhabitants few and the means
of acquiring, what was then considered, a
common education scanty indeed. Yet, he
grew up with the country, improved the
opportunities afforded, and gained sufli-
cient knowledge to enable him to transact
his business, which, in the conrse of his
life has been considerable, in a very satis
factory manner.
In 1831 he married the daughter ot Glo-
ver Somers, and through the succeeding
40 years, the two toiled on together. Their
hard labor and persevering industry was
crowned with a good degree of success.
They acquired a fine little property, raised
and educated a family of 7 children;
settled, and gave a handsome start in life,
to all but the voungest two.
Seymour H. Rexford has been a worthy
and respected citizen, an obliging neigh
bor, and a conscientious man of business
"whose word was his bond." He was au
ardent brother, a dutiful son, and an affec-
tiouate and devoted husband and father.
In his death all have sustained a loss: the j
community a useful member of society;!
his family a friend that can never be re
placed. And though the relatives may
think they realize their loss, yet none of
them can feel the desolation that crushes
the heart of his invalid widow and her
two young daughters, in their sad loneli
ness, with no husband to console and no
father to counsel. May the Lord comfort
the hearts of all that mourn, especially
the widow and the fatherless.

Smoked Out.
Last week the dwellers in the Stockwell
House had a sensation. It came from
this oflice, and we are sorry to say it did
not seem to be a pleasant one. Just be
fore going to press it was found necessary
to erect a stove, and ail hands turned in
to assist in that most delightful of tasks.
But extraordinary difficulties were met
with. Aside from the usual pleasant inci
dents connected with the labor, an appar
ently insurmountable obstacle arose at
the ver' outset in the matter of finding
some place iu which to insert the pipe,
Sot that there were any lack of flues on
the contrary, amidst the abundance it
was the great question as to w hich was
the right one to go for. At last a decision
was reached, the stove and pipe duly
placed in position, barked knuckles wash.
ed and bandaged, and with the conscious
ness of of having done a disugreable but
necessitous deed a placid smile was per
mitted all around. But alas for the
frailty of human calculations. In
an incredably short time, there was evi
dently something wrong among those sup
posed to be calmly reposing in the rooms
above. A sound of hurried steps and niuf-
fled voices, W48 speedily fulpved by the
appearance of- a procession, with lugu
brious faces and weeping eyes, headed by
a certain redoubtable captain and closed
by the frail form of our friend Warren
"What in the world are you doing here?'

the truthfulness of this assertion an in
quiry, however, was ventured as to the
precise meaning intended to be conveyed.
"That fire must be put out," was the
mild but energetic response.
"Why " we asked.
Some remarks were current in answer
to this, to the effect that one who burrows
in general news ought to be smart enough to
know without being told; but the aching
void made by the prospective loss of our
fondly cherished fire did not warrant us in
paying much attention to the miserable
joke.
The melancholy gathering solemnly
filed from the room, and were sadly fol
lowed by those whose hopes they had so
unkindly marred, until the regions above
were reached. Here the mystery was
solved. In the multiplicity of flues the
pipe bad got into the wrong hole, and the
supposed chimney was found to end at the
floor of the first story. The covering
boards had been torn away and the atmos
phere was heavy with smoke. The neces
sity was recognized as such by the assem
bled manipulators of type, and the fire be
low having been put out the rest of the
night was devoted to finding some suitable
type to typify the miseries ot typographi

Railroad.
The material for the railroad is now fast
being received. Dump cars are being re
paired and the track will soou be laid
from the Lake Shore road to the Mentor
avenue crossing.. On Tuesday morning
twenty tons of rail were uuloaded and in
spected. A car load of fish plates and
spikes were received last week. Whether
there are enough ties supplied we are not
able to state exactly. We were told,
however, by one of the engineer corps that
there was a'pretty good supply on hand.
The iron is said to be of the finest quality.
It is small and light, weighing thirty-five
pounds to the yard. We understand that
the south-end corps is now at Warren, but
is soon to return to Jamestown. '
Owing to the fact that the railroad now
being built through this region of country
that is so materially to effect the property
holders all along its line is what is called
narrow gauge, we give below a com
plete directory of all the narrow gauge
railroads in the United States, so far as
known of, which table will be of
interest to our readers. We are indebted
to Mr. J. C. Sharpless, Chief Engineer of
the Painesville & Youngstown Railroad
for this table which he deems correct in
alt respects.

Tbe Election.
With us everything passed : off very
quietly much more peaceable, indeed,
than is usually the case. ' But undoubted
ly, this apparent apathy was caused, to a
great extent, by the intense counter-excitement
which existed in regard to the
terrible conflagration then raging in Chicago-
..
The prohibition movement, generally,
did not seem a success. Many who were
in the most complete sympathy with the
objects for which its projectors were la
boring, yet would not Tote the prohibition
ticket, as they recognized the folly of di
viding tbe Republican vote, while there
was no possible chance of success for the
new party. In consequence the total
vote polled in support of those candidates
only amounted to 50 in all.' Of those
Painesville gave 13; Willoughly 7; Mentor
; Perry 4; Madison 4; Concord 2; Kirt-
land 14, while in LeRoy none were found so
poor as to do them reverence.
The prize flag of this county is still re
tained by LeRoy, that townhslp having
returned 111 majority for Noyes, only four
less than the majority for Grant in 1868.

A Smoky dawniug of a dubious looking
day brought a good share of the S. S. work-

the appointed hour, at the new Baptist
Church. The morning session was pre.

J. W. Tyler, Esq., the Prest. The spirit
of the meeting was one of thanksgiving for
the broad basis of union in Christian ef
forts. At 10:30 tho President culled the
convention to order, and after a few words
of greeting, introduced the order of exer
cises by culling for the discussion of the
first topic "The importance, relation and

and S. S., thus giving rise to uOur
Glass," "Your S. S." Aught aU to be in S,
S and let class meetings come during the
week. Mr. Darrow thought the regular
church service formed a part of the S. S
service. The sermon a method of teach
ing from which the S. S. largely patterns,
Mr. Tyler citing an illustration used by
Mr. Young, of putting hay into the bottom
ot the rack so that the young stock can
get it; thought the children, if they were
not instructed or fed, should do as the
lambs and calves do, "bleat and howl"
till they are fed. The time allotted to this
topic having expired, the audience arose
and joined with the choir iu singing ''Hold
on," after Which tbe discussion of the
Second Topic "How to Prepare
and Teach the Lesson" was opened
by Rev. J. ExcelL "Ought not
to be stereotyped in preparation,
must first of all seek God's direction, read
the lesson, consider the circumstances un
der which it was inspired; compare Scrip
ture with Scripture, and study no para-
lell passages. He is thus illustrated by
the preparation of Matt. 7. 21. Look at
persons. "Xot every one that saith unto
Jfe'" Who says this ? Jetus, called also
oro Spirit, Holy, Just, Good. ; "But he
that doeth the will of my Father. . . "VTho is
My Father f God? Onr FaiJier- "Not
every one" every rational, accountable,
being. ext -look at place. Heaven,
Kingdom of Heaven. God dwells in Heav
en, the Saviour,' Lamb, the' Redeemer.
Do we want to go there? We must do the
will of the FatheKthere must be conforms
ity to God's will.
Having thus given a synopses oif one
method of preparing a lesson, he proceed
ed to illustrate by - the .black board a
method of teaching by questions, the an
swers to which were written on the board,
and as a whole, we reviewed at the 'close
of the lesson. ' He added, try to 1 have
something for everyone in the class.; ,,s .,.
Mr.Baldw in though absent was repre
sented by a skeleton speech on this topic,
the "bones" of which were presented by
Mr. Tyler- 'Prepare Humbly Seeking
Holy Spirt Begin Early-Get Heart,
Backbone, spine, of the lesson Be all the
week about it Collect a hundred thoughts
and assort Keep praying Talk about the
lesson (Christians ought to) Keep the
mind on individual scholars and prepare
for them' Take plenty of time Be wil
ling to have a good preparation cost a
good price. Teach it as you study it Fix
one thought, put it clearly Encourage
study by scholars demand study by schol
ars Teach in love: teach in patience:
teach in prayer; teach in expectation.
Mr. Darrow arranged the lesson for
teaching so as to make it interesting ' to
the class. Illustrate by particular rather
than by general examples. Study the
class as well as the lesson. Get the con
fidence and good will of the class. . Pious
trash is demoralizing Avoid cant. ; "
Messrs. Brink and Tyler followed briefly
urging to leave papers and helps at home
Get the lesson in the head and heart and
then go to the class. ' ' - ' ' - , 1
Congregation then arose and joined In
singing 'If We Try' after which the third
topic was introduced for discussion.- ' -.
"Relation of Teacher and Scholar, arid
how to make it effective." .,,;'
Discussion was opened by IRev. .S. B.
Webster. We must learn what the rela
tion is by what it does. - A relation of
sympathy: The teacher must so sympa
thize with the condition of the scholar as
to feel, "If he is lost, I am lost." Every
lesson must have enough of Christ and '
his truth to save a soul. i ! ,',
Mr. Tyler tor Mr. Baldwin "Teacher,'?
relation appointed by Jesus Christ,
self-denying, loving, praying, associating
hospitality. "Scholar," respectful, affec
tionate, prayerful. .1
Mr. E. S. Young The relation of teacher
and scholar, is Love, waich makes itself
felt by influencing the scholar to right ac
tion. . . . , , .
Mr. R. S. House The true relation is a
perfectly social and confidential one.
Mr. Blair The secret of effectiveness in
teaching lies in our consecration; join
prayer with, work, work with prayer. ;
Rev. Mr. Mizener We have too many
helps to make our teaching effective; be
come too stereotyped too much of "Mr.
A says so-and-so," and not enough, of
"My soul thirtieth for thee."
The lateness of the hour compelled the
closing of the discussion at this point, and
the Prest.appointed the following commit
tees. For raising funds for defraying ex
penses of assoclatton,Bro8,Excell,Merrill,
Craine, Higging, Bowen. For appointing
officers for the ensueing year; ' Bros.
Young, ' Blair, Wheeler, Wilder, Mizener.
An invitation was then extended to the
visiting friends to repair to the Town
Hall near by for refreshments, and the
convention, adjourned till S p. m. While
the friends are discussing bountiful pro-
ision made for their wants it may not be
out of place to glance at the bill-of-fare,
and such a bill ! One felt like exclaming
with a generous devotee of,, cpicariqus,
"Ob, that my capacity was. equal to my
zeal!". But without wishing in the least to
flatter the Perry people, your reporter is
frank to confess that he never sat down to
such a repast, ' prepared as that was for
a company of stranger visitors. 1 ,
When we got near enough to the hall to
be able to look in at the door, the room
was entirely packed as also the door and
front steps, so we philosophically turned
away to wait for the second table,corafort
ed by the assurance of a Brother standing
near, that the second tablefcame cheaper.
At last the second table was announced
and we were not, long in finding a suitable
and convenient seat, to see and be seen, to
eat and be filled though a multitude had
already been fed, yet no one would iiave
guessed it by looking at the tables as they
appeared to us, loaded with good things.
And they were good too, and fresh; hadn't
been fingered over by those at the first ta
ble, but were ail whole and had no bites
taken out. - Well, we had to attend to the
matter before us and from that time forgot
to take any notice until the opening of the
. " AFTERNOON SESSION. 1 1
At two o'clock, the bouse was called to

ports emltmcing twenty .eight Sunday
schools of Uia county, from which report
It appuara that there lias been during the
last year au average attendance of 1844
scholar, 'of which number there have
oceu mi conversions. The average num
ber of mouths held during the yoarOi-7.
The Chair Ihon led in singing bTho Moui
tain of tho Lord," utter which dtets
eion of topics. "Suda,y school iu,' town
and equjUtny, t(s tllHtl'ijguiHnug churac
IrristlcR, HltlleiiliieH, necessities an.l en
youraeliifuls.". yj upenod In lefty by
Mr. Brink. Mft. Marshall Spoke of keeping
schools open in Winter. Mr. Tisdel ar
gued from the history and experience ot
the Black Brook School in favor of "all
the year round."' Mr. Webster spoke of
encouraguients from - conversions which,
though great, yet in his opinion not equal
to that arising from alike degree of suc
cess, in worldly matters, Mr. Freer com
pared country schools favorably with city
schools in point of aptness to learn.
Mr. Meziner thought country schools
easier governed than city schools. He
was followed bv Mr. Youug in favor of
keeping schools open through the year.
Mr. Excell epitomized the topics,
" difficulties overcome partially
by - parental interest, . needs,
consecration, good libraries, most
of aU Christ within us, encouragement,
consciousness of Divine favor and ap
proval. The time allotted to this topic having
expired the audience rested while the
choir gave "Toiling on," and the Second
Topic, "Use of black board and object
lessons' was introduced by Rev. Mr.
White; Object teaching, as a system, co
existed with the human race. Christ, the
perfect example of an object teacher,
recommends carrying object teaching into
the classes. , .
Mr. Tisdel Thought that most persons
at the present day who are opposed to
black-board exercises are those who will
not try them. Mr. T. then convinced us
(if we needed convincing) of the truth of
this statement by illustrating lessons
found in Matt. 1: 13, 27; Matt. 11: 'JfLSO
Mark 8: 34, 37; Luke 14: 7.
fThe Old, Old Story," was then beauti
fully and touchingly sung by the audience
with the choir, and third topic, "General
Exercises in the Sunday School," was
opened by Rev. A. J. Lintisey in a few
practical remarks.
.Mr .'Baldwin, by proxy, presented some
thoughts which in these words commend
themselves to all: "Leaders should Be
well prepared for reading scripture and
tending ' prayer; have the hymns
all selected; thoughts on lesson
shape. The main thought
of lessonshould be the main thought of
every exercise.
Mr; Webster referred to singing as a gen
eral exercise ot value.
Mr. Ensign "Don't believe in new
methods for the sake of novelty. Two
many superintendants aim at effect. How
to make general exercises impressive, not
sensational instructive, not tedious va
riety, not novelty. To insure the result,
we need entire faith in the attractiveness
of men. That school whose members are
attracted by real love of the world and by
conscious advancement in the knowl
edge of that World, has attained the high
est success ; but that school whose mem
bers are chiefly attracted by what may be
termed outside appliances, be it ever so
popular and so largely attended, is unsuc
cessful." ' .
The closing of this discussion was fol
lowed by the opening of the question box.
After which, "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow," was sung, and Rev. J. R.
White pronounced the .benediction and
adjourned to meet at 7 o'cloek iu the eve
ning. -
;,;!. EVENING SESSION
Opened at 7 p. m. by singing by the choir
of "Heavenly Home," and prayer by Rev.
Mr. White. '
The first topic of the evening, "Relation
and duty ' of the Sunday School to the
cause of Temperance," was opened by
Rev. Mr. ' Webster. The relation of the
Sunday, school to Temperance is to be
affectionate, brotherly, sisterly, in family,
like the wheat among tares, to-day, to
morrow., The lily is always the unlovely.
Like tbe apple tree in the forest, bearing
fruit while all around is fruitless. It is
their duty to promote its influence. The
example and well precept to be practised
by the Stinday Schools is always, at par
ties, to "Touch not,'" 'etc. Sunday school
scholars should let it' alone entirely.
There seems to be a continual warfare of
the one against the other.
Mr. Blair endorsed what had been said.
The sources of the evils of intemperance
were the drug stores. He would rather
starve than have anything to do with
liqiior;
Mr. White said he had always been a
temperance man; he bad stirred it up.
Introduce temperance songs into the Sun
day schools and library temperance books
to Impress a horror of intemperance upon
children. Intemperance is on the increase.
Mr. Tyler The liquor traffic was $000,-
000,000, and every $200 means a drunkard's
graVer Let the Sunday schools take their
proper position and intemperance would
be eradicated. The discussion was inter
rupted by Mr: Freer, who introduced a
cabinet of curiosities and specimens of
wood, stone, shells, etc.
Mr; ' Brink Look at the pulpits. Let
them teach their members to throw their
influence into the temperance cause.
Wm.Matseu Round numbers of liquor
traffic, 1,500,000,000, ought to startle chris
tian temperance cause can never over
come intemperance by moral suasion but
can do something to keep our nation from
drunkenness.
McYittyr-rNo general rule for reformiug
drunkards,. therefore must keep boys from
becoming drunkards prnctioe aud preach

E. S; Y'oung must strike at the root of
the ' evil prohibit the manufacture and

school.

gallons of liquor and have the lirst drop
to drink yet stop the fountain and the
stream will dry up.

One of the most difficult and delicate med
ical tasks is to prescribe for and operate up
on dumb animals. They have no means of
of communicating their ailments and feel
ings, and the physician must be guided
solely by his own judgment, with only his
general knowledge of the various ills to
which they are subject, as u basis upon
which to form his practice. ' One of the
most accomplished of those veterinary sur
geons, is Dr. Johnson of Cleveland'. This
gentleman has been, here for one or two
weeks, and has established his reputation
as a skillful aud competent, surgeon, by
having performed some of the most, extra,
ordinary cures. The Doctor's' treatment
is homeopathic in principle, and he is able,
to successfully treat all kinds of animals
for almost every disease to which they may
be subject. The Doctor will be at the
Stockwell House on Saturday, October
21st, and all those needing such services
will do well to give him a call. 1 .
