CELEBRATION OF THE SONS OF TEN
PERANCF

|, The Division of Sons of Temperance in this
Iplace celebrated their first anniversary Yesterday
I'and Notwithstanding the unfavorabe state of the
weather, procession of about 100 Sons and be-
,tween 20 and 80 Cadets, was formed, who after
marching through several streets, repaired to the
court House, where the customary ceremonies of
,prayer, singing, and music by the band were per-
lslormed, after which Br. MosEs NJ STRONG deliver
we'd an address, which we imagine could make none
Sther than favorable impression upon the minds
Sf all present to the beneficial results of the
Order. This address was an appeal to the iudg-
Snent and reason, and the arguments advanced
,1ere uncomfortable. We sincerely hope that
sBr. Strong will furnish a copy of his Grafton for
publication, believe that such an one is far
better calculated to have good effect, than many
others which appeal more to the passion, and less
20 judgment.
|, We are happy to say that the Section of Cadets
pf this place, who partook in the exercises of the
lsay, performed the part allotted to them in man.
sler well calculated TO do credit to themselves and
I'VE hope their number may be greatly increased,
Ind that they may ever acqut themselves in as
ereditable manner as they did IN the exercises
yesterday. Truly they are "our countrys hope,
,nd from such army we have more to hope
shan from the combined forces of a Napoleon and

The OLD MANS STORY.

The sheriff took out his watch and said, "if you
have any thing to say, speak now for you have on
ly five minutes to live" The young man. burst
into tears and said-'.I have to die-I had only
one little brother he had beautiful blue eyes and
faxen hair, and loved him, bat one day | got
drunk, for the first time IN my lite and coming home
| found my little brother gathering berries IN the
garden, and l became angry without cause, and
killed hun with one blow with rake. | did not
know anything about it until the next morning
when awo< from sleep, and found myself tied
and guarded, and was told that when my little
brother was found his hair clotted with blood
and brains, and he was dead. Whiskey has done
it. 1t has ruined me. | never was drunk bat
once. l have but one word to say, and then am
going to my final Judge. say it to young PEG
pie never! 91eUer! NEVER! touch any thing that can
intoxicated As he pronounced these words he
sprang from the box ana was launched into az end
less eternity.
l was melted to tears at the recital, and the au--
ful spectacle. My heart seemed as ii it would
burst and break away from my aching bosom, so
intoIerabe were my feelings Of grief And there
in that carriage, while that cushioned seat, look
ing with streaming eyes on the body OF that un'or-
tunate young man. as 1t hung dangling and with
ing between heaven and earth, unit Tor either
place, tie it was that l took the pledge never to
touch the hur5ful poison.

CHEAP POSTAGE.

We have not yet exhausted the question.
how government may best strengthen and per-
petuate our union. There is one of its estab-
lishments, which, in this point of view, we
highly value, and which we fear. is nor suffi-
ciently priced for the high benefit it coniers.
We refer TO the post Office. The facilities
which this institution affords to tue govern
nleut for communication. with all parts Of con-
try, are probably regarded by many as the
most important national service which it rem
ders. But il does inconpara5ly, more tor us
dis a community. 1t does much toward max
ing US one, by admitting free communication
between different parts of the country, which
10 other channel of intercourse could bring
together. 1t binds the whole country In Il
chain OF sympathies, and make it in truth one
great neighborhood. Ii promotes a kind of
society between the sea shore and the noun
tains. Itperpetuates friendship between hose
who are never TO meet again. 1t binds the
family lii the new settlement and the half
cleared forest 10 the cultivated spot from which
it emigrated. 1t facilitates, beyond calculation,
commercial connections, and the interchange
of products. On this account, we always
grieve to see statement of the revenue accru-
ing 10 government from the post Office. 1t
ought simply support itself. Such importance
do we attach to the freest communication be-
tween all parts Of the county, so much do we
desire that the poor, as well as rich, may en-
ioy the means of intercourse, that We would
sooner have the post office tax on the reve-
nue., than one of its sources.-REy. DR.. CHAN

and take to the study of law. The clothiers APP
prentice purchased the remainder of his time, and
studied law and surveying IN the Office OF his ben
elactor until he twenty-one During this
time he partly supported himself by teaching
school In 1921 he removed to Erie county. and
entered lawyer Office in Buffalo, V here he pur-
sued his legal studies, and taught school for his
support until 1923, when he was admitted to
practice in the Court of Common Pleas. From
this time his course has been up up up. He first
commenced practicing in the village of Aurora,
in Cayuga county, bat returned to Buffalo in $780,
where he still resides. In 1929 he was elected a
member of the State Legislature and was re-elect
ed the two succeeding years.
In 1882 Mr.. Fillmore was elected to Congress
and again in 1886, when he distinguished himself
by his report on the New Jersey election case
He was reelected to the next Congress BY large
~ increased majority, and was placed at the head
of the Committee of Ways and Means, in which
post he gained great distinction by his energy, apt
ness and industry, and by the wisdom OF his meas
ures and the ability with which he advocated
them. At the close of this Congress he declined
reelection, and resumed the practice OF his pro-
fession at the bar In 1914 ne was nominated by
the Wings for Governor of the State in opposi-
ton to Silas Wright but was unsuccessful. Last
year he was elected Comptroller Of the State, and
has filled the Office with honor to himself and prof
it to the people
Mr. Fillmore is in his 10th year. fine, lusty
looking man, with a sanguine temperament, tail,
commanding presence, and grave but good ma
tured countenance. He is an excellent specimen
of genuine Northern Yankee, as old Rough and
Ready is of the Southern breed. They both

ventitious circumstances. The colleges in wh.c
they have acquired their knowledge are the bust

cannot doubt their election by greater majority
than any Presidential ticket has received since the
days of Washington nor that the country will
rejoice, and grow prosperous under their benef-
cent rule.

Wing Governor is elected by a very large
majority. OF the Congressman elected 10
are said to be Wings, six Locos, and three
Natives. The Legislature is reported to be,
1 5 in the House and in the Senate WING
majority.
Our last accounts from Ohio state that the
Governor Is uncertain. Legislature " hig,
and Congress same as last year. We are of
opinion that the Democratic candidate for:Gov-
ernor in Ohio is elected by small majority.
but that she will give her Electoral vote to
Taylor and Fillmore, there can be little doubt
In South Carolina there is a WING gain of
two congressman reported, and also gain of
ID members of the Legislature, as far as hear
ed from.
From Florida, the reports differ, the last ac-

congressman are elected. We shall probably
