ses of hypocrisy SO often occur among the
clerical ranks--and we have the "wolf in
sleeps clothing" named in the following
letter, from Mr.. Mayhem, will receive his
just deserts for imposing upon the commu.
nifty. Pass hlm along brother typos, that
he may be held up to universal contempt,
and thus save many from becoming his
dupes.
.New York, Dec. nth 1889.
Sir,-Athough ] am not personally ac-
quainted with you, I trust, when you per-
ceive the object of my letter, you will ex.
cuse the liberty take in addressing you.-
1t is possible, you may not be aware that
man by the name Of Enos l.. Fcnwick, now
IN this city, formerly Baptist preacher
and famiiarly known to the citizens of Mon
roe CO. as the "Reperand Lmposier,") is
manufacturing medicine and selling It for
the Matchless Sanative, of which perceive
you are the general agent. ! have every
reason to believe, sir, that Mr.. Fcnwlck is
an unprincipled man, as he was, not long
since, deposed from the ministry, for taking
uuwarrantable liberties with members of his
church, therefore, as the caemy of knave-
ry, feel anxious that he should be speedily
exposed lest many OF my fellow citizens
should be defraudcd by him out of their mo.
ney, if not their characters. ] deem 1t the
conscientious duty of every man, to expose
villainy and vice wherever and whenever he
meets it. Besides, Sir, another consdera-
tion should prompt me to make known to
you the above facts, have laughter, who,
thank God, has been raised from wasting
skeleton, to perfect health-and tn t too,
by the simple means of using one vial and
a half of the Matchless Sanatve, which
bought at 252 Broadway, of G. S. Francis
your agent for this city. Believing that
you will duly appreciate the motives which
have induced me to address you thus unce-
tremendously, and hoping that you will take
the earliest steps to expose to the world the
base imposter Fenwick, subscribe my
self,
Sir, very respectfully, ]. P. MAYHEM.

Boston, Mass.
P. S. Mr.. Jones, the bearer, who is
about to start for your city, will hand you
his letter, and if you desire he will give
you a more detailed account of Fenwck,
han it would he possible for me to do on

REVEREND lNPOSTOR.

II OOK OUT! Look out Z! look out for
IL an INFAMOUS KNAvE, by the name oi
ENos l.. FRNwIcK, of New York, who was
formerly BAPTIST PREACHER, and better
known by the citizens of Monroe County,
as the "REvEREHp IMPosTER." This soul
less VILLAIN, who was dismissed from the
pulpit, some time since, for improper con-
duel, is now rendering himself still more in
famous, by wickedy attempting to impose
not merely upon Church, but upon the
WHOLE COMMUNITY.
A few months ago this scouNDREL wrote
to the Subscriber. at Boston, and wished to
be appointed an agent for the sale of the
Matchless Sanative. The General Agent
not knowing his depraved character, gave
him an agency, and forwarded him aquan-
tIty of the medicine. This he soon sold,
and remitted the money, and ordered anoth-
er lot, which was sent about one month
since. To avoid any suspicion as to The DE-
SIGN of his applying for an agency, or to
conceal his "cLovEN FooT.' he made par
tial remittance Of the sales of the last lot,
only 10 days ago. Yesterday, with utter
AsToNrsHMENT the General Agent learnt,
that this REVEREND DEcEIvER is now impi-
ously manufacturing with bis own UNHoLy
HANDS, a worthless medicine,--a SPURIOUS
sAnATIvE, which he is employing swindliDg
pedlars to palm upon the public as the GEN.
UINE ORIGINAL.
O. If the people of America will only
bear ONE FACT in mind, there is not even a
POSSIBILITY of their being duped BY the Us-
TNha fapt ,c thi.
0kT NO PEDLAR, or TRAVELLING AGENT has
euer been employed In This country to setlthe
Sanative, or to leave II toih any person 10
se!ion commission.sf0 Again every Agent
of the TRUE Sanative, is appointed by the
GENERAL AGENT, and receives the medicine
directly FROM THE DEPOSITORY IN BOSTON.
& s + + + +
0rLet all who buy the sana,ive, (and
almost every body does buy it.) REMEMBER
THE ABOVE FACTS, and they may be SURE Of
obtaining the GENUINE ORIGINAL COMPOUND.
~ N. B.-Esery Agent of the Match
less Sanative, is EARNESTLY desired to give
an IMMEDIATE ALARM, by having this article
inserted one month in all the papers in
their towns. And that the General Agent
may be CERTAIN that the public ale put on
their LOOK OUT. for the IMposToR, he will
kindly thank all the Agents to forward him
a copy Of each paper advertised in AS SOON
As POSSIBLE. d. 8. ROWLAND.

freeze. for it was piercing cold day. i proceeded on my way to dinner, reaecting upon their folly, and thinking how the fool ish affair would end.
 On my return, found to my utter surprise that the two carriages had disappeared. l was now really anxious 10 know what com promise could have been made. On inqui- ry, was informed that they BOTH backed out.
 What a comment upon pride, stubborn ness and contention! After SD many bitter words, so much threatening, so much show of naughty feeling and determination, on both sides, b"th were compelled, probably glad to back out!' Yet it is always so.- See man determined on pursuing wrong course, perhaps knowing that he is in the wrong, but too proud to retract-thc fact may be depended upon, that after all his branGishng, alter all his threats, after all his pompous words, he will find that there is no alternative hut to buck out" which he will then be compelled to do, with mortifi- cation and shame, regre,ting that he had not 'backed out before any strife occurred:

THE BACK OUT.,-A TAcr.

A few weeks since, two carriages met in q narrow street, in Boston. in which it was im- possible for them to pass each each othcr.- Tho horses were standing side by side, ap- parently as eager as their masters to pro ceed on their way. Now it was evident that one or the other of the drivers must back out," or disastrous consequences would en- sue. But both were stubborn. One blamed the other for having stopped in the street 1; tbe other was blamed for coming into the street. when he knew the, other was therc.- They became angry. threatened violence to each other, and brandshed their huge fists in each others faces. At length they both determined to drive onward, let the result be as it would. But one carriage being more slender than the other, the contest was une- qnal. and the idea was dropped. After much harsh, abusive language, anl having listened to some disinterested, wholesome advice. from the spectators. which neither was Willing to accept, one mounted his car. flage, in an indifferent manner crossed his legs, and manifes ted the utmost patience. saying that he should remain there. if for n fortnight, till the other backed out The other. no less patient or independent, mount. ed his seat. saying he should stay there till all impedimenis to his onward progress were removed, should it be a month, and com. menced reading newspaper. .1''
 Fa Well, thought !, they are both stubborn proud. and determined; and unless one ar the other should alter his mind, and become hpmbled, they will remain till they starve or

INTEMPERANCE.

The following is the most graphic de!ine- ation of the miseries and effects of intem- perance that we have ever seen. It is from the arguments advanced by certain citizens of Portage county, Ohio, in memorial to the Legislature of that State on the subject
 Connecticut Ots.
 "And yet its march of ruin is onward still. It reaches to others, invadcs the fam lily and social circle, and spreads woe and sorrow all around. It cuts down youth in it's vigor, manhood in it's strength, and age in its weakness. It breaks the fathers heart, bereaves the doating mother, extin- guishes natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachment, blights pa- rental hope, and brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces health; death, not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans, fathers fiends, and all of them paupers and beggars. It inhales levers, it feeds rheumatisms, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, invites cholera, lmparts, pcstilence, and embraces consump- tlons. It covers the land with idleness, poverty, disease and crime. It fills your jails, supplies your alms-houses, and de- mands your asylums. Itengenders contro- versies, fosters quarrels and cherishes riots. 1t contemns law, spurns order, and loves mobs. 1t crowds your penitentiaries, and furnishes the victims for your scaffolds., It is the life blood of tho gambler, the aliment of the counterteiter, the prop of the high wayman, and the support of the. midnight incendiary. ..' d.'i7'
 It conferences the liar, respects the thief, and esteems the blasphemer. It vio- lates obligations, reverences fraud, and honors intamy. It incites the father to butcher his offspring, helps the husband to massacre his wife, and aids the child to grind the paracidal axe. It burns man, consumes women, detests life, curses God, and despises Heaven. "' "
 It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, cor rupts elections, pollutes our institutions and endangers our government. It degrades the citizen, debases the legislator, dishon- ors the statesman, and disarms the patriot. It brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety; despair. not hope misery, not hap piness And now, as with the malevolence of tiend, it calmly surveys it's frightful desolations; and insatiate with havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, stays reputation, and wipes out national honor, then curses the world and laughs at it's ruin."

 Canajoh0rie in Ruins.-We stop the press to announce the awful intelligence of the ruin of the pleasant village of Canajoharie, by fire last evening. It broke out about 9 o'clock in the stable of Henry Lieber, de- ceased, and caught the building occupied by Wells & Baker, as dry goods store, and Zero & Erwin as a grocery store, and the corner building on that side of the street.
 The fire then crossed the street and took in the building occupied by H. & l.. Barnes, as tin and sheet iron store, where it spread with great rapidity (thc wind being high) enveloping the two blocks of buildings ex- tending to the creek east, which were en- tirely consumed with most of their contents It then crossed the creek, taking the bridge m its course, and consumed all the build- ing on tho hill as far as the red school house. The printing office of the Radii, with all its contents, was destroyed.
 About 40 buildings were burned. A lit- tie boy about years old is missing, and it IS feared he perished in the flames. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. We have not yet learned the amount of loss, or insurance.
