ADVANCE OF THE ORDER.

By the Report of the Grand Scribe of North
Carolina recently forwarded TO the National Di-
vision, we gather the following interesting par
ticulars concerning the statistical and financial
transactions of the Order of the Sons of TEN.

1851 NO. admitted 6,46l suspended 70; ex-

This Report embraces the Returns of only 2lS
Divisions, there being on the LIST of April last
some % Divisions that had been 30 recently in.
stituted no report has been sent up from them.
There are now 255 Divisions in the State, with
a membership, we should reasonably suppose
of at least ten or eleven thousand. On the Is
of April, 1850, the Grand Scribe reported to tn
N. D. III Divisions, with 8 9O6 members. TIL,
4 Returns, therefore, for the past year, show al
increase over the one previous, of 137 Divisions
5 and 3 1916 members! Can any other State in the U
J Mon, considering the sparseness of our population
exhibit a more gratifying progress for the pas
twelve months And yet there are those VIII

ABIGAIL ROMANCE.

A lad, seventeen years of age, son of a
respectable baker on Market street, was mis-
sing after the fire, and it was feared he was
one of the victims of the explosion. Next day
the parents were informed that there was a
mutilatcd body at the hospital answering the
description of the boy so far as any marks
could be designated. The parents fastened
to examine the mutillated remains, and be-
convinced of the identity of the body,
principally from the fact hat a certain finger
of til right hand of their son had been am
putated, and the right hand of the body in
question correspondent precisely in this par
%ticular. The body was inferred, and the
parents mourned their boy as dead.
Yesterday the lost boy made his appear
ance at home, jolly and well. AT the alarm
raised by the cry of powder" he had has.
tened away from the scene of the intended
explosion, aud unfortunately had become in.
volved in a crowd of thieves, who were pur
sued by a party of police, and captured the
bakers boy, being among the rogues at thu
moment, was hurried to prison with a crowc
and it was not until yesterday ne was recog
nised by a friend, who Immediately obtained
his release, and the mourning family wer
made happy by his restoration.

E Our friend, Professor F. A. FIcKARpr, of
the Philadelphia Medical College, has kindly ia
vored US with a copy of his Address to the Grad
uating Class, on the LIST of March last. We have
perused it with much interest and profit, and
could fain wish that all of the Medical profession
would take the same sensible and prudent con-
sideration of some of the topics touched by DR..
Fickardt This Institution is situated on Fifth
street, a few doors south of Walnut, has a full
and able Faculty, with all the requisite appoint
ments for a thorough and scientific course of
professional instruction, on a basis inferior to
none. The Winter Course of Lectures. will COM
mence on the 18th of October, 1s51-fee for a
full course sS4 for a perpetual ticket $50.
We give the following extract from Prof
Fickardt's Address, and commend it to the care.
full consideration of the medical profession:
Let me point out to you, however, one snar,
which may entangle your feet W a pf
into which many of the Profession fall-yet no
| more than others. l allude to the treacherou
habit of the use of stimulent drinks. The sever
tiles, the irregularity, the trials and exhaustions
the cold, the wet, the hunger, the travel b,
night, and the sleepless vigils of Medical life
:, present out Two many and strong temptations I
i receive the temporary support of Alcohol. Tn
, hospitality of the people, too, increases the evil
misjudging friends, who thus drug the bowl {
u life with sorrow, shame and death! 1t has bee
!, my sad experience to behold many of my earl
e medical acquaintance thus cut off in the fowe
& of their lives, in the midst of their usefulnes
and more than once, in the full view of the mo,
cheering prospects. / cannot easily compr
bend how Medical men shall permit usaees
this sort to blind them to its dangerous tendel
cies, md the poisonous character OF their draugbt
j The systemic u~nftness of Alcoholic liquors; the
everywhere rejected presence in the econom,
their irritant and e~xcitant action the iniurio

AT the conclusion of the Address, a paper was
circulated, which was promptly signed by a
number of the most respectable and influential
citizens of the town and immediate vicinity, con-
tanning a petition for a charter to establish a
Division Of the Sons in Germanton. Similar pc
titions-the one from citizens of Stokesbury and
the other from the Buffaloe District, in our own
county-were handed to Bro White thus, IN
one day, adding three new Divisions to the
large and rapidly increasing number of similar
institutions throughout the State.
We were informed by a g gentleman from Mt
Airy, that there had been an increase of so mem

county seat ofStokes, an increase of thirty-three

~ Bro. GEORGE B. WErMoRE, of Rocking
ham, Richmond county, has written an Appeal
to Protestant Christians in behalf of the Tenn
perance Reform" We have not yet seen a copy
of the work, but hope soon to have a large sup
ply on hand, for sale, which we trust will be
scattered throughout the State. We find the
following notice of the work in the New York
Organ:
An Appeal to Protestant Christians in behalf
of the Temperance Reform, by George B. Wet
more. This is a forcible and judicious presenta
ton of the claims of the temperance cause to the
aid of Christians, whose objections the author
meets with in these three propositions: LIST
That the world has no right to form such asso
Citations. I'd. That they will of necessity fail
Sd. That the Christian cannot in any case con
sistently aid them. We think the author ha
met these objections with entire success, an,
that a candid reading of the production will re

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The Board of Managers of this noble underta-
king suggest, in the Washington Republic, that
collections be taken up in its aid throughout
the Union, on the approaching anniversary Of
our national independence. The occasion is q
happy and suitable one to assist in completing
the magnificent work, so purely n%atinnal in its
character. The structure is now eighty-four
feet from the surface; and, including materials
workmanship, necessary offices, workshops, ma
chinery, etc, has cost, so far, only about 1925,
900, and the whole cost of the obelisk when com
pleted, is estimated at 1867, 900, which, it is an
ticipated, will not fail to be contributed by tn
patriotic people of the United States to an oh
iect so noble, and which is to evince their graft
tude and veneration for the great benefactor Q
their country.
