The Hearer of PRAYER.

God blesscs those who are actively
engaged in the discharge of their du.
ties. AS an evidence of the fact read
the following extract of the doings of
the General Association Of New Hamp-
shire:
AftemoOn-The Association in COM
mittee Of the whole, with the audience,
discussed the following resolutions on
temperance:
/, ReSolUed, That the cause of tenn
perance is intimately connected with
the advancement of Christ's kingdom
on the earth.
2, That the success of this cause
imperatively demands the enactment
of a law similar to that now in force
in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, designed to prohibit the sale
of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
3. That with the blessing of God
we will never cease to labor and pray,
until such law is placed on the sta
tute books of our own State.
The vote was taken, and the resolu-
tons passed by the rising of the large
audience as one. Or if there were
any dissentients they were overshadow-
ed and unseen.-BOston Traveller.
During the proceedings of Tuesday,
on account of the prevailing drought,
the Association suspended their busi-
ness, and called on Father Hobart,
an octogenerian of eighty.six, to pray
Tor rain; which he did with much fer
Vency. In the afternoon the clouds
gathered blackness, the rain began,
and continued till parched nature re.
viyed.

that no law less than the Maine Law
would meet his approval or satisfy his
temperance friends.
8. He has employed s. of T. to
canvass every Division Of the Sons in
the district, and secretly committing
himselfthrough his agents, (if elected)
to promote the temperance principles.
4. As Lieutenant Governor, he ap-
pointed all Sons Of Temperance, on
the Temperance Committed in the last
Legislature, thereby giving you no
choice for a hearing before that COM
mittee, unless you were Sons of Tenn
perance.
5. In a recent conversation at Au-
rora he said he would greatly prefer TO
see the rats destroy all the corn in the
country, than see it 60 to the distille-
ries at Aurora and Lawrenceburg TO
make Whisky for as he called it POL
SON J to destroy his fellow men-that
whisky was poison and nothing else.
Now, fellow citizens, we appeal to
you, and ask you if you will vote for a
man so destitute Of honor, who will if
elected destroy our greatest CONNER
cial institution? We know at the
ballot box you will answer, with thun-
der tones, No, No.

Maine Law in Ohio.

ga grand moving Panorama was
exhibited in Auckerman's Grove on
Monday morning last. A fellow, by
the name of Fisher, had established
hell of place, from which he retailed
whisky, cakes, beer, &C., along side
the Railroad track. On Sunday a
crowd of fellows, who were supplied
from this addition to the Devils den,
made day hideous, and night terrible,
by their disorderly conduct and out
rageous blasphemies, &c. On Mon
day morning some of the citizens gave
the proprietor notice to move his in
lernal cage in given time, or they
would demolish the whole concern.
After the time had expired, and the
Thing still remaining in statW quo,
without any sign of moving, according
to notice previously given, some Of
those who were most terribly annoy
ed by residing in The vicinity, proceed
en- to the spot, and exhibited to the
proprietor a grand moving panoroma,
by knocking in the heads of his beer
barrels, breaking his whisky juSs, up
setting his counters, and entisely an
Initiating the whole concern. A good
and righteous act, and if they had
knocked into the middle of next week,
the two or three who interlered in be-
half of the internal concern, they
would have been favoring the commu-
nifty still more. "-EaLOn Democrat.

From the New Haven Palladium. The AZlec City in Central America.

Rumors of the existance of an ancient city in Central America, ichabitrd by the decendants of the Aztecs, have been res peale6iy mentioned by travellers. Stephens in his valuable werk or Yucatan, we he. ieve. alludes to this subject, and seems to place reliance in the statement. The Aztee children,' who were exhibi,ed in this ciry. and are now in New York. are reported to- have been brought from this mysterious city. They are said to beloag to an order dedicated 10 sacerdotal service. The stories of the origin of these singular chilirea were disbelieved in this city, but seem to be credited in New York;. and . belief iR the existence of an Azetsc city is gaining ground

They were assured ,has the bark would go through in ttirly or forty days-that her accommodations were equal to these of the steamers that she had on board provisions and water sufficient for ninety days. besides being provided with a good physician i; all of which statemsnts proved to be false. Before they had been cut ten days. a.yiclvnt fever broke out among the passengers. and there was no one to administer to their wants except the cap tain, who had cheat of medicines but kneu. nothing about ,l.eir use!
