1t gives US great pleasure to an.
nounce to the friends of Temperance
in this city, and especially to those
who were once members of this Divi-
sion, that there is now a great revi-
val going on at the old Hall, corner
of 9th and Walnut SITS.
Seven members, all good and true
men, were initiated on last Tuesday
evening, and there are about dozen
propositions before the Division for
the next meeting.
1t would be very gratifying to us to
be able to record a similar notice Of
the prosperity of old Ohio Division
No. 1. She was the first that was
located west Of the mountains, and
having withstood the heat and burden
of the day, we feel a reverential solici-
tude for her prosperity.

behalf, and raise large club for the

The Triumphs of the Maine Law.


The present prospects of speedy
and complete triumph of the Maine
Law, throughout the length and
breadth of our land, are most cheer
ing to the friends of humanity. That
man has not the right to destroy his
fellow-men merely for personal ag-
grandizement, is a fact which is be-
ginning to enlist the serious attention
and call forth the vigorous action of
the wisest and best everywhere. In
every section of the country where
the benign effects of the Maine Law
are known and appreciated, it is gain
ing a lodgment in the hearts of the
people. All are beginning to see,
from years of experience, that it is
the only alternative left. The most
convincing arguments, backed by the
soul-subduing eloquence of widows
tears and orphans cries, have been
produced to influence the rum-seller to
desist from his work of death but to
all this he turns a deaf ear. Money
is his idol, and he will walk through
tears and blood to get to kneel at its
shrine. The people everywhere see
ing this to be the case, are determin-
ing to speak in tone that must be
needed. They are becoming con-
vinced that this Babylon Of vice and
uncleanness, the liquor traffic, whence
emanate sGch floods Of pollution, has
stood long enough, and must come
down. The winds of popular indig-
nation are beginning to beat heavily
against it from every quarter, and its
chief bacchanals are turning pale and
beginning to "stond from under"
The Boston Life Boat, which al.
ways comes to us fraught with cheer
ing intelligence to the friends of Tenn
perance, in speaking of the success Of
the Maine Law in the different States,
says, the Temperance Journals come
to us laden with glorious news respect
ing the good cause in other States.
Michigan, according to all accounts,
has elected Legislature with a large
majority in favor of the law. Ohio
is driving at it with an energy and a
will which presages speedy and GER
tain success. In Kentucky they are
discussing the subject Of the law and
preparing the public mind for its
adoption. Missouri is making rapid
strides towards this glorious consum-
nation ; she viii wheel into line in
due time. Some others Of the south

Melancholy Accident.

Through the courtesy Of Bro. Ros-
well Reed, Of Cleves, we have been
informed Of a most affecting stroke Of
Divine Providence in the family Of
Rev. Mr.. CLEMENs, a Methodist min
lister Of this city. He was on a visit
to his friends in Cleves, accompanied
by his wife and child. On his return
home, Saturday morning, he drove
into the Big Miami with his wagon,
at the place where he had forded the
evening before with perfect safety /;
but the stream having raised during
the night, the wagon bed fosted off
and turned over, burying them all in
the element. Mrs, Clemens and her
child were drowned, and her husband
and a lady who was in the wagon
with them, barely escaped from find
ing a watery grave-being badly
strangled when rescued. This sad
intelligence will cast wave of sor-
row over many hearts, not only on
account Of the sad bereavement of an
afectionate husband, but from the
untimely death of one whose piety
and amiability had won for her a
lodgment in the hearts Of all with
whom she associated.

Bro. John r. williams Dcings in
the City.

The devoted friend and laborer in
the cause Of Temperance, Bro. ]. r..
WnLIAMs, arrived in our city on last
Friday, but did not commence his
labors until Sunday afternoon, when
he delivered lecture at the wharf.
There were about three hundred per-
sons present, and the weather being
favorable, the crowd was very atten7
tive, and remained and listened to the
powerful appeals Of Bro. Williams for
near two hours. During some Of the
most affecting parts Of his lecture, we
saw the brawny hand wiping away
tE.--4-4ser~m eanged takmsnly
looking face Of the several steam
boatmen. Fourteen names were OBJ
tanned to the pledge.
He lectured to a very respectable
audience on Monday evening, at the
Protestant Methodist Church on Sixth
street. Bro. w. on this occasion, was
very eloquent and affecting. Such
was the good feeling producedby this
lecture, that one hundred and fourteen
names were enrolled on the pledge
book.
On Tuesday evening he met with
Cincinnati Division No. 2. s Of T.,
and after they had gone through their
regular business, which was unusually
interesting, for they initiated seven
new members, and have some ten or
twelve to come in next meeting, he
made short but a powerful appeal to
the members to go to work, and stay
the desolation that intemperance is
producing in our city.
On Wednesday evening he again
addressed the people in the M. E.
church, and about seventy signatures
were obtained to the pledge.

Geo. N. Woodbridge. Esq.


We regret to learn from a Marietta
paper, that the Hon. GEO. M. WooD-
BRIDGE declines being candidate fol
the office of Senator in that county.
Mr.. W. has been urgently solicited by
men in every part of his county, to
consent to be candidate, for the rea-
sons that just such men as him are
needed in the Senate, in the ap-
preaching Temperance crisis-men
of known integrity, and who are not
afraid to stand up for the cause of
truth and virtue at all hazards. The
paper says f" This determination of
Mr.. W. will be read with general re-
gret, for there is a strong desire on
the part of large number of our citi-
zens to have the Maine Law question
fairly presented to the people, separate
from party politics; and Mr.. Wood
bridge has so identified himself with
the Maine Law movement of this
county, that the announcement of his
name, at this time, would probably be
considered and accepted as a chal.
lenge to make that test question"

'ern States are agitating the question /;
indeed, everywhere that any thing is
being done, it is sll for the Maine

Hamiltrn County Convention.

The friends of Temperance of this
County are requested to call primary
meetings in the respective Wards and
Townships in the city and county, for
the purpose of nominating delegates
to a COUNTY CONVENTION, to
be held at LooKLAND, on Saturday,
the 18th inst, at 10 O'Clock, A. NJ.
1t is to be hoped that every tenn
perance organization in the city and
county will send up a strong delega-
tion. We expect to see one of the
largest and most enthusiastic Conven-
tions ever held in Hamilton county.
The people are beginning to become
sensible of the present disastrous eE-
fects of the unlimited traffic in spirit
uous liquors in this section of the
State, and they are determined on Sc
curing the blessings of the Maine Law.

A Genuine Temperance Man


The following from the Carrollton,
KY. correspondent of tho Temper.
ance Chart, Indianapolis, is worthy Of
going the rounds Of the press :
"Allow me to give an incident, in
which one Of our number was an ac-
tor; it should have been recorded
long ago. Before the brother alludeo
to Joined the Sons, he was as low as
drunkards get to be he followed fish
ing in the Ohio and Kentucky rivers
tor living - pretty hard living at
that. A few weeks after he became a
Son, he was out on the Ohio river, at
the time of the great food of 847, and
caught full barrel Of whisky adrift-
the real stuff itself. Here was a
temptation that but few men could
have the nerve to withstand; he had
but recently reclaimed, and was poor
at that. AS good Son he could n ct
use it, nor give it away. He brought
It to the shore, made a fair investiga-
ton as to its dangerous qualities, con-
demned and executed the monster ac-
cording to the most rigorvs interpre-
tation Of the Maine law. Many Of
the friends Of the culprit begged for
the life Of the victim, and when it was
saying good, good, as it escaped from
the bung into the river they begged
for some Of the cratHr, but not a drop
would he give them. He knew that
it biteth like serpent, and stingeth
like an adder That man stands
firm to this day, and is now the
w. p. Of Carrollton Division, No. go,
and for the last FIVE years has not
been absent from q meeting when he
was at home andwell." !"

Maine Law Men elected.

By reference to our list of Repre-
sentatives, it will be seen that we
have heard from quite large proper
ton Of the men elected, and they
stand thus far as follows: Maine Law
men SO, Anti Maine Law men II, in
cluding SO Anti.Law men from Bos-
ton. OF course, if the figures to come
from the country should prove to be,
relatively, the same, the majority for
the law viii be very large. The worst
part Of the State has Leen heard from.
Out of Boston we find but 80 Anti
Law men elected as far as heard from.
There can be no doubt that the law is
perfectly safe, and that any " enfeeb-
ling modification " is entirely out of
the question.
We do not claim that our list is
perfect, even as far as we have heard
from the candidates; we are correct
ing every day, but our corrections i'm
prove the appearance of the list.-Bos.

The Cleaveland True Democrat
announces dreadful tragedy in that
place few days since, which will
in all probability result in the death
Of two Of the persons engaged in it.
1t appears that Mrs. Cooley and Mrs.
Kirley, living at the foot Of st. Clair
street, at a place known as the Five
Points, had a quarrel. Their hus-
bands took it up, when Cooley fired a
revolver, which wounded Kirley se-
riously. The ball lodged in the chest
of Kirley's wife. 1t is supposed that
neither of them will recover. Cooley
has not yet been arrested. Whisky
was the cause of the difficulty. How
long shall such arguments in favor of
a law for the determination of the
monster alcohol go unheededl The
ready response from every philan-
thropic heart is, that the time has now
come, and the people of Ohio are only
waiting for the return of another cleo
ton day to say, that they viii be re-
deemed from the thralldom of the
liquor traffic, and become one of that
bright constellation which have exor-
cised rum within their borders.
