RAILROAD lNsTALMENT.


We are requested to cali the attention
Of the Stockholders ia the Chicago and
Rock Island Rail Road 70 the fact that the
81 iasta!men, Of FIVE per cent became Que
on the LIST day Of the present month, ant
that Messrs. Cock s. Sargent will receive
tho ius,almen, and deliver regular certih
Gates Of stock to those who have not re-
ceived them.
When the Stockholders recollect that tht
Company agree to pay Messrs. Farnam 4
Sheffield twenty-five thousand dollars pei
month, commencing on the lst OF April,
aud that unless the Company perform then
part Of the contract il cannot be expected
that the contractors will, we are sure thai
there will be no hanging back on the par
Of Scott County Stockholders.
The Importance Of the early completion
Of the Road is too apparent 10 us all, {
permit us for one moment to hesitate abou
our payments and thereby delay, and per
haps even hazard the completion Of The

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The semi-monlhly Temperance meet
ing, held at the Court House in this place
on Monday evening last, wus full as large
Iy attended as any Of its predecessors. Al
though The walking was bad the ladies
were well represented. A lengthy and
eloquent address was delivered BY HIRAM
PRICE, Esq, in which be took occasion te
review the s.rumselers' creed" one half o.
which was published last week in the Ga
zette, with comments from the N. York
Tribune Mr.. Price is Of opinion that The
Maine Law can and will be passed ia 10.
wa. We have not doubt of it. AT the
close Of his remarks, after selecting Rev
J. D. Mason as their next speaker, the
meeting adjourned abruptly, in fear Of an
approaching thunder shower.
In the nteres, Of these meetings aud the
happy spirit that peryades them, one priu-
cipai object Of their introduction appears
to have been forgotten, the increase oil

pledge--it should not be neglected sim

EVILS OF INTEMpERANCE.

Resolrei, That we believe that even tho abuse
OF them, {spirituous liquors) however and SIN
cerely deeply 10 be deplored, is grossly and n,
diculously, though systematically, exaggerated
as source Of pauperlsm and crime
The above il from tho resolutions passed

" the way to ascertain whether the evils
{ n,emperance are exaggerated IS -
trace those evils TO their source. AS tbs
cannot be dono in every case, from their
ex,euf, the proper method is, 10 take the
larges, body Of crime that can be procured
ascertain lis source and thus obtain cor
rect data for a true estimate OF the eau
SEES of crime throughout the Y. States
For that purpose we take the State OF Ne"
York, the larges, collection Of people in
any ono OF the States and the greatest con-
|cen,ration Of crime.
From statistics recently obtained, we
learn that OF 1000 criminals in the State
Prisons, l40O are either the children Of
drunkards. or were themselves at the time
Of committing the offence, maddened By
liquor. OF $4,000 persons arrested IN one
year on charges Of crime and misdemea n
or, less than so were total absiinents.--
Nine-ten,hs Of the paupers in the Aims
House were either ,ipplers, or had been
reduced to want by the tipping Of others.
While Of The last one hundred murders com
mi,ted in the State, ninety Of them were
perpetrated through the influence Of spr-
,uons liquors.
These are actual statistics and we ven
ture the assertion that the whole United
States, if as closely canvassed, would show
a like result; but admit that the crime thus
superinduced would be but one fourth so
large as il is here ascertained to be, isl
there man 10 our country who regards
The welfare Of his fellow creatures and the
good Of society, but who will be willing to|
forego the use Of an article that is entail

opinc not, all good men will lend their in

and others are contracted for to be built a:
soon as possible. limo was when We
knew abou, the number Of houses in pro-
gress Of erection in the place, but since
addition after addition has been made upon
the east and the west, we no longer pre-

certainty OF an early eastern Railroad con-
nec,ion will attract large immigration TO
to this place, so that another season we
may predict still greater improvements.
