like to know what sort Of a place Gill
boa is. GiIboa is a small, but pleas
antIy situated village in Putnam
county, Ohio. A short time only has
elapsed, since aourishing Division
Of the Sons Of Temperance met in
this village. The Division has gone
down--it grew and fourished well,
but alas a profound sleep came on,
and it slept itself out Of existence.

We have in our midst, two groce-

fire has flowed from those dens of

S. F. CARy- Worthy Brother:
IncIOsed you viii find a correct re
port Of the meetingof the Pablo Re
form League, held in this city on the
evening Of the 4th inst.
In addition 10 the report, I will here
state that the Hon. G. Q. rLathrop fol
lowed Mr.. Walker in an interesting
and animated address. in which he
explained the object of the Legislature
in submitting the question of License
or No License to the people. He ar
gued that the Legislation which was OBJ
tanned on the subject Of Temperance
was but a development Of the honest
republican principle that the majority
shallrule, No laws can be passed in
this community without the sanction
Of a majority, and therefore it was
contended that the cry Of legislating
! in advance Of public opinion is utterly
absurd.
The meeting adjourned TO meet
next Monday evening at the Lyceuni
Hal, where several able speakers are
expected to address the public. The
ladies win be particularly invited 70
attend.
! also send you the Daily Delta,
which has more extensive report q
the meeting. and editorial remarks On
the same. You will see that the
