teresting item;-
1--WE are working hard here for the Maine
Law, but. have great opposition on the
part of the liquor sellers. They have sew
eral meu hired at good wages per day, to
canvass the county and get signers against
the passage of the Maine Law. We are
wide awake, however, and are giving them
jesse on all sides. We are holding weekly
Temperance meetings and soaring up signers
by scores. Morgan county will be well rep
resented in names at this session Of the
Legislature.

lied a society, and are determined to be
heard. When they undertake to do any
thing, it is as good as done.
Bro. A. G, Gardner, of Rutland, O., sends
US twelve names and $1,000. The Brother
informs us that the friends Of the good cause
have been hard at work during the past
winter. A part Of the fruits of their labor,
is, ttoo Hep Decisions have been organized,

township and to these and New Lima Di-

They all go heart and hand for the Maine
Law. We hope to hear from each of these
hourishing Divisions before long, in the way
of good list of subscribers to the Organ"
Rev. Bro. A. W. Tibbitts, Of jamestown,
O., sends four names and $500. In his
letter, the Brother says that in the town of
Clifton, during the last two years, there
have been eight wives made widows by
their husbands dying of delirium tremens
four young men have died Of the same dis
ease, and one fell over a clif-besides three
OF iour others whose death was directly at
tributable to the use of ardent spirits. The
only Still-house (the prolific cause of all
this mischief,) is owned by a member Of the
Presbyterian church. The Pastor of this
church, Mr.. Russell, refused to sign the pc
tition for the Maine Law. We presume he
is an indirect participation in, the profits of
the distillery. The Brother tells US not to
spare the rod on all such as profess Chris
Jianity, and aid the Devil, by manufactu-
ring, or countenancing the use of ardentsPir-
its We honestly and sincerely believe, that
anti temperance is nothing mOrenor less
than anti MISUNDERSTANDING which, we
shall take such notice of all cases coming TO
our knowledge, as in our Judgment we think
proper. We wage an incorporating war
against the minions of Bacchus, whether
found in a church or coffee house.
Brother 2, Dickinson, of West Woodside,
o., sends eleven names and $lL00. We
hope to bear from the Brother again. 81

Division, sends US six names.
Bro Jos. johnson, P. M. at Summerfeld,
o., sends us two names and $500, an addi-
ton to former club-both relinquishing
their claim to the Fountain list The Brother
says he is aware that Summerfeld is behind
other towns in patronizing the Organ"

my then, little son and have never failed
to pay in advance, although, some several

had from Dayton, although there are large
