The Gana, loan.

The letters from Europe which we give in to-
days paper, in addition to tho other interesting
matter that will be found in them, contain some
important intelligence ia relation TO the progress
OF our commissioners in negotiating the canal
loan. From present Indications We should think
there can be little doubt but that the loan will be
taken. In this opinion, which we think is fully
warranted by the conilen, tone of our correspon-
dent, wc are strengthened by the following para
graph which we find in the money article of the
New York Herald of the 9th:
A letter from Mr.. Oakley, Illinois commission

out having effected the object of our mission" It
IL stated that Hope and Co. have subscribed
100000 to the new loan, being all the canal
bonds they held on their own account. Magnioc,
Smith 81 Co.. the largest owners, had given no
definite answer, but it was generally supposed that
the matter would terminate favorably, solely on
the necessity OF the movement to recover the old
debt.
Col Oakley would not have expressed himself
as represented above, if he had not been confident
that the loan would be taken.--The influence the
success Of this mission must have on the prosper
ity Of our state is incalculabe. The mere din
prospect VIC have hitherto had Of its success, has
done ruch already towards reviving the dropping
energies Of our citizens business is partially
rivcd, money circulatcs more freely, buildings are
going up in every direction, and every thing wears
much more cheerful aspect than it has Tor sevc-
raj years. And if this IL already the case what
may we not expect when it is rendered certain that
the canal will be completed within two or three
years

OCCURRENCE ~, Princeton.

One Of those Disturbances growing out Of Abo.

The person to whom he gave it, on finding that ii

The Tenpcruuce Cnmsc.

WesSrS. EditorS-You are aware, my
dear srs, that comparatively but short
time ago, there existed in this place quite
large and very respectable temperance
socIety; and it is needless for me to tell
you that its beneficial effects were great
y felt and seen throughout the town and
its vicinity. OF late, to the sinful dis
grace Of those who had it in their pow
er to promote it, and to the mercIess
misfortune of others, 1t has sunk into in
significance. That pledge "a pledge
whose miraculous power has rescued
from the regions of dark despair the i'm
mortal soul of many a yirtuous though.
unfortunately through intemperance, brute
like rendered man-that pledge, whose
divine insinuatlon has dried the bitter
tears of a forsaken and disgraced mother
and clothed and provided food for the
almost bare and starving children-lhat
pledge, the magical power of which has
restored peace and happiness TO the fami-
lies tina. had been infested with conlen-
ton and misery, has OF late been violated
and disgraced. Many who had, before
high heaven, with the deepest sincerity of
their souls as it were, sworn no more to
be the slaves of appetite, no more TO drink
that worst of all poisons which has eau
sed them to ill-treat those they are bound
to, and fam would, love and protect, have,
to their own disgrace and the disgrace of
the society, proved recrcant to their own
convictions and their solemn pledge. AS
| am one of those who suffer under this
curse, and as it is beyond my power TO
change it, am obliged to call on some of
my friends TO come to my aid. You,
who occupy position from where you
can, with but single nod, expose the
louest vice and immortality, and prescribe
remides for existing evils, it is on you
| now call to exercise your influence to
revive the glorious cause Of temperance.
| however, ask no sacrifice on your
part more than that which is your duty
towards your fellow beings. You have
seen the evils of intemperance if your
influence can have any weight in eilec-
ting remedy it is your duty to exert it,
and it is the duty of every one. =

A SUFFERER.

n MiNerite IN Rome.-We make the
following extract Of letter from cor
respondent Of the Puritan, dated Ganoa,
Jan. 7, 1913.
81 saw Millerte here the other lay
from Worcester, Mass. He had come
by steam to Liverpool and then directly
here, swift, as wind and sail could carry
him. From here he took steamer to-
Rome, where he expected to be persecu-
ted by the Pope; and then he was off for
Jerusalem, where after forty days fast,
Christ would appear and set up his king
dom. He was solemn as eternity, and
fully believed wha! he said. Nothing
could stop him, as he said he could not
detan the Lord Jesus Christ, and he
could not appear till after his forty days
fast. lie had scarcely money enough to
carry him there, and fear before this the
dogs have gnawed his bones without
some city. But it was fearful thing to
see man riskng his all on one single
belief. There is something sublime IN
such unbounded faith though erring. A
few days after young man form CAM
bridge passed through for the propaganda
of Rome, equally enthusiastic in The
belief Of the final triumph Of the Romsh
Church.
