.Neao Haren and Springfield Railroad to
ALBANY or Boston.-The N. Y. Herald of
Monday last says The route to Albany or
Boston by the New Haven and Springfield
Railroad is the most comfortable that we
know Of During the recent severe snow
storm it was the only route really able to
maintain itself in travelling condition.
The cars and comfort are admirable, and
reflect great credit on all concerned in its
management

COLD WATER THE SIMPLE REMEDY.
MEssRs EDIToRs 1t has been remark
ed, in substance, that the use Of one of the
most simple means has done more for the
extension of great cause, in short time,
than the combined arguments and eloquence
of men distinguished for wisdom and piety
effected in many years. The lecture-room,
the place of public assembling, and the pull
pit, all had their orators decaiming against
the evils of intemperance. But their efforts
seemed to have little potency in staying the
onsweepihg and desolating pestilence. The
friends of humanity looked for new rem
edy. 1t was found. In the love of his
race, one rushed between the living and the
dead, conspicuously displaying, as the sym
Dol Of the new faith, glass Of cold water,
and the plague was stayed.
If it be asked, What potency there is in
cold water, or what inspiration inseparably
connected with it, that so many eyes bright
en- at the vision, and so many tongues be-
come eloquent in its praise, while expecta-
tions SO sanguine respecting its sanatve
qualities are indnlgedi We answer, None

OUR POSITION.

The Fountain is being circulated among
SO many OF the free citizens of this happy
countrys that ii becomes necessary for us
clearly to define our position, especially SO
as we have. now made arrangements by
which it will have much more extensive
circulation, inasmuch as we now issue a
daily and weekly.
Well, then, we are the uncompromising
advocates of Temperance on the plan OF
Total Abstinence from intoxicating liquor
as a beverage. We expect to urge this prin-
ciple upon the attention of the whole com
munity. We shall urge the propriety of the
abolition of all license for the sale, as be-
verage, Of intoxicating drinks; but in this
W. elsh to submit the matter to the sover-
eign people. Thus, we feel it our duty to
sstates our grand object. We believe, in its
accomplishment, it will carry many other
very important matters, OF interest to the
welfare. Of every class Of our country, and
,perpetuate our free Institutions. -
- But it may be important for us to state
what we will not do We will not inter
tfere with the religious or political opinions
of any. We only wish to carry our prin-
ciples to them where they now are, to bene-
fit them in time, and thereby fit them better
to prepare for their final account.

duce for your consideration the propriety
Of having the Charters Of each city SO framed
that the voters in each Ward shall determine
with regard to the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within their bounds. To this we
should think no friend Of liberty or repub-
licanism can object. We shall be pleased
to receive the opinions for and against such
measure, and will insert in our paper any
respectful communication. 1t is light and
