Handsome Banner. Mr. Thos. r. Jeffries, a
promising young artist ofour city, has Just COM
peted beautiful banner, intended for the 10th
Division of the Sons Temperance at Annapolis.
The trimming has been done by Mrs. Ssco, in
an elegant manner, the edges of the border be-
ing decorated by heavy bullion fringe, and cords
and tassels to suit. The banner is of the finest
satin; on the one side, which is white, is a figure
of Moses smtlng the rock, for the obtaining of
water foI the famishing children Of Israel IN the
| Desert. The execution of the figures and back
ground, are most creditable specimens of artis-
teal skill, the colorlng and expression of the
whole picture being faultless. On the rear of
the banner, which is crimson, are the words,--
"Presenied by the Ladies Of the city of Anna po-
lis, TO Division No. 10 of the Sons of Temper
anCe" On the front, above the painting, is
the motto-"Love, Purity, and Fidelity" and
on the rear are the mottos-"In Union there is
strength, - and "lntegrity, the corner stone on
which our edifice rests" Altogether, it is
most beautiful specimen ofthe arts. 1t is pur-
posed to present it on Thursday, when the Sons
of Temperance have ali excursion from this ci-
ty TO Annapolis.
Missing. An old gentleman living OF Fell's
Point, named Alexander McNIahan, has been
missing since Wednesday last, and fears are
entertained that he has been drowned as on
that day he hired boat for the purpose of TAX
ing sail down the river, since which time !
neither himself or boat have been seen. He is !
highly respectable citizen, and great uneasi- |
ness is felt for him.
a Fact for The Temperance .Msa. As an in |
stance Of the beneficial effects of Temperance. |
on the human system, we will relate fact
which has come TO our knowledge. On SatuI-
day, in large establishment of this city, where
45 workmen are employed, (only of whom
are tetotaIIers) the heat became so oppressive,
that a majority ofthem found it necessary to |
suspend their abors for day; precautionary
step which was followed by all the workme6, |
with the exception of the FIVE tetotallers, who |
continued at their labor until night, without
experiencing the least injury, or feeling more
exhausted than usual Without intending to |
recommend the too free use of cold ,cater dur |
ing the present wealth r, we must say the fact |
we have related bears strongly in favor Of cold
lcGer principles.
