This old and widely circulated Family
Newspaper, one Of the ablest conducted
published west Of the mountains, is about
to enter upon new volume, in view Of
which, the same enterprise that has gained
for 1t its present popularity, is about to
render It still more acceptable to its pa.
irons. The publisher feels that it is due to
those who have so literally stepped forward,
unsolicited, that every effort should bemade
TO add 10 It's merit and usefulness, and make
such alterations and improvements as may
be deemed expedient to effect it. 1t is to
be greatly improved, and to have an entire
outfit of new material. The type will be
from the best mandatory in the country,
and all the captions, or headings for the
different departments, viii be executed with
care to tasteful appearance, The main
heading, Just received from the artist, is
not only splendid specimen Of art, but
admirably adapted to the character of the
paper, The sub-heads, designed for the
Agricultural, Poetical, Commercial, Humo-
rous, Editorial, Marriages, Deaths, &C., &c.,
are not to be surpassed by those used on any
other paper in the Union, either as to their ap-
prOpriateness or finish. The departments of
the paper will remain much as they were be-
fore, though more extended, and if possible,
more particularly cared for, as each win be
in the charge of competent hands.
The Literary Department will have the
attention of the editor in person, and no.
thing will gain admission thereto, until it
has met his appreciation. Some of the best
talent in the Union will regularly contri
butte in both poetry and prose, and every
effort will be made to render il repository
of the richest gems from the literary world
The Agricultural Department, one, by the
way, which heretofore has been sadly neg
lected by all weekly papers, designed to
circulate among farmers as well as mer-
chants, will receive more than ordinary
attention. It viii be under the charge of
one who has that practical knowledge OBJ
tanned by turning up the sod, and planting
the seed besides such scientific attainments
as will enable him to conduct the depart
ment with credit to himself and benefit to
the Agricultural reader.
The commercial department will have
the care of efficient reporters, whose long
connection with the commercial transac-
tions of the city, enables them to give
full and satisfactory reports, which can be
relied upon by the mercantile community
at home and abroad. In fine no pains will
be spared to keep the Dollar Times, where
it always has been, the foremost in disemi-
mating knowledge, and keeping society ad-
vised of the movements of the Old and New
World. The prospectus, in another column
will advise our readers more definitely as tc
the features of the new volume, but in con.
clusion, permit us to say that, if you desire
family paper eminently popular in all thu
attributes which make it preceptor anC
instructor, subscribe for the DOLLAR TINES

The Way Of the Transgressor.

A highly esteemed clergyman ium-
ishes us with the following well authenti-
Gated fact. A few weeks since three
gentlemen met in the bar.room of a
tavern in Springfield, Illinois, when the
subject OF liquor drinking was considered.
They agreed with each other that they
would continue 10 be free men, and drink
until death. They fulfilled the contract,
and in less than four weeks from that
date they were all in eternity. The last
ofthe three was carried to the grave Ofthe
drunkard on a dray, unattended by a
single moumer. One, ifnot two OF these
men, had been prominent and worthy
citizens.
Such facts as these ought to awaken
the public mind and induce every honest
man, women and child to be eimportunate
for a law to utterly annihilate the liquol
traffic.

Hon, q. n. olds.

We had The pleasure Of listening to
this worthy on Sunday evening. He ad.
dressed a large audience in the Chapel
of the Farmers College. For an hour
and a half he held the audience in earn
est attention to his eloquent appeal. He
showed that the mission Of lntemperancs
was death; death to the physical, intel
lectual and moral man--death to al the
social affections. Thatthe result stopped
not with this, but when the grave had
closed over the ruined form, when all
that was exalted in the intellect and pure
in affection was laid waste, intemperance
stretched forth her hand into the eternal
world and dragged down the immortal
soul from happiness and Heaven.
In concluding his remarks he enforced
with great power the doctrine Of individ-
ual responsibility in srresting the ravages
of the destroyer.
Bro. Old's style oil oratory is peculiar.
His positions are clearly stated, and he
maintains them in clear, argumentatiye
and persuasive manner. His language
is always chaste and beautiful, every
sentence being perfect both in the sel1o
ton Of words and in its structure. FoI
a popular audience he has superiors as
an orator, but for select and literary one,
few, if any, excel him. In all his efforts
every listener is impressed with the fac
that he is sincere and honest in his ad,
vocacy of the Cause-and his simplicity
of manner, humility and christian spiri
will always make him favorite with the
good.

A Sensible Jury.

An eastern Jury in alluding to the
alarming increase of juvenile offenders,
attributing it to intemperance, earnestly
recommend the enforcement Of the law
against unlicensed g7m-shoPs" We
would like to ask such a jury what dil-
ference there is between licensed and m
licensed r1m1-ShQps. We suppose the an
swer would be that the mischief result
ing from the former are legal, while those
OF the latter are contrary to law. A theft
Or murder resulting from the existence
of one may be borne with something
like christian resignation but it is really
lnsuferable to have such crimes growing
out Of an unlicensed dram shop. This
is not the first jury that have shown them
selves destitute of Intelligence,

The name of MArmoT is an honored

Three short years ago the Grand Worthy
Patriarch Of this State, JOSHUA MATmor,
was laid, amid weeping eyes and break

when he died, itmay be truly said, g that
he took mans life away with him"

many gathering of the great and the

More than year ago, young GEORGE C,
MArHIor connected himself with the
Western Reserve College, at Hudson,
Ohio. His fine talents--his frank, manly
bearing-his benevolent heart, and his
warm sympathy with every thing great
and good, all fitted him for eminenCe and
distinguished usefulness. He was the
son Of many hopes, and the pride of a
wide spread ciDcle. II required no pro
phet to foretelI that a fathers and hus.
bands loss would soon be fully made uT
by such gifted and noble son.
But that same heart stricken mother
and those many admiring friends are now
sitting in the darkness Of extingished
hopes! Close beside that honored fathel

Think Of it Patriot.

On the 4th of July when you are medi-

our Independence, and of the honored
dead who fell in the struggles of the
Revolution, let your mind dwell for a
moment upon the number Of noble men.
who have fallen beneath the stroke of the
relentless tyrant intemperance--whose
bodies fill dishonored graves, and whose,
names it were grateful duty to blot from
the book of remembrance. Since the
Fourth of July 1776 (supposing that hut
10000 per annum have been killed by
strong drink) there have perished one
million fve hundred and ttgenty thousand IN
the United States.
If we would deserve OF our posterity
loltier monuments. and more revered
names than our fathers, let us devote our
selves to the work of hurting from the
throne of his power the cruel tyrant who
demands from us so large contribution
of blood and treasure annually Let ui

re-assembling Of the legislature. Let these
be employed in agitation. 1t is the policy
Of the rumOcrats to smother investigation.
Their cause prospers most when shrouded
in darkness. Be II yours to shed the light
Of truth upon these mists Of error, until they
roll back and leave the moral horizon un-
dimned and clear. Lot this be the plan of
the summer campaign, Get 10 work at once.
Wait not an other hour. Let each town and
county vie with each other, to send up. next
winter, the greater number Of petitions. LET
the weak, struggling memorials which came
up during the late session Of the legislature
be but the alarm guns Of the senfinels, to
call the entire camp to arms. These excited
among the members only ridicule and CON
tempt. But, if the temperance men in the
State do their duty, during the recess of
the legislature, these gentlemen will look
upon the movement as something too seri-
Gus TO excite smile. Enroll only the legal
voters ; or, if you please, these and the Ia
dies each in separate lists.
While writing thus, we would again guard
the members Of the Order against any ac-
ton which will commit it as an organization
to this movement. Do not originate any
such movement in the Division room.
Adopt no resolves upon the subject there.
Let it pursue its wonted course. Here is
the plan we recommend Call meetings of
the citizens generally, and appoint commit
tees in every county and town to canvass
for signers. Let the agitation of this mat
ter begin, continue and end, while acting,
not as Sons Of Temperance, but as citizens.
Perhaps your enemies and demagogues will
] falsely accuse This will rebound TO your
advantage. twill enlist the sympathies of
community in your favor, and thereby give
you vantage ground from which to repel
their attacks. If they begin the battle,
yours will be defensive warfare, and the
Injustice of their procedure Will give you all
the good and virtuous as your allies in the
conflict. Stand on the alert and ready for
each encounter, but do not rashly involve
yourselves when your help is not needed.
Attend to- your appropriate duties, and leave
the other for citizens.
But your connection with the Order does
not debar you from acting in this matter.
The privileges of citizenship appertain. to
you as much as to others, and in the exer-
else of these you may aid in this work. As
such you may sign, and labor to procnre
other signatures to these petitions. Nay,
more, as such, and conscious of the evils,
both social and political, resulting from the
traffic, it is your duty to commence this
work earnestly and without delay--SOath.

CoLoREp Wells FOR LADiEs.-One Of
the happiesi Of modern contrivances is
the colorcd veil, now worn by some Of
our ladies. None but ugly women wear
them, and as we do not like to look upon
any thing that is not beautiful, these
wells perform a real service for US, at
least. No handsome woman would
hide her face behind one OF these gloomy
screens, even to protect delicate COM
plexion from the rude visits Of March
winds. No o-no- when we see veil
