Bro. James Aigin, Of Delaware, o., sends
two names and 90, an addition to a former
list Of 90. The Bro. informs us, that the
cause and the Organ is indebted to Mrs. Du-
den, for effective services. She is true
friend Of the cause, and does much to adj
vance its interests among her acquaintan-
ces. We acknowledge our indebtedness to
our friends with pleasure, but We take an
extra pleasure in returning our thanks to a
lady for her interest in the cause. She is
engaged in glorious cause, and may she
always find pleasure in doing her duty
The brother says: Our Division is more
prosperous now than it has been for three
years past, and does more for the temper
ance cause, than all the rest Of the people
in The place" Well may the rumies watch
them with fear and trembling.

Bro 3. s Close, r. NJ; at springdale. 3.
sends $S for the Organ. At least 20 copies
of the Organ should find circulation
among the good people of springdale, and
we hope our worthy brother, the Post-mas-
ter, will not stop until the number is pro-
cured. In his letter he says, The cause is
holy, and God grant that it may prevail"
So mote it be!
Bro. p. Il. Quinn, D. q. W. p. of New
Vienna, sends 81. We hope our Brother
in his official capacity, will present the
claims of the Organ before the friends Of
Temperance in his jurisdiction. Persoyer-
ance will accomplish great deal, especially
in good cause.
Bro. j. F. Bonner, New Lisbon, O., sends
three names, and SO. IS to be sent as long as
the money will pay.
Bro. 7. W. Painter, Weymouth, O., 81. .
We would inform Bro, d. W. Gage, Cleve
land, o., that the proceedings of the State
Convention were never published in pam
Phlet form. We cannot, therefore, comply
with his request.
S. Sprgg, Esq, R. S. of Ironton Divis-
ion, sends us 81 to pay up for back dues,
and requests the name of the Division to be
erased from our list. The request is COM
municated in such cool, polite and dig
nltied manner that it leads us to believe
thatsomething is wrong somewhere. When
we took the Fountain list, the name of this
Division was upon the list, having been
allowed to run weeks after the expira.
tion of the time for which it had paid
Several weeks after the commencement of
the Organ, we sent them a polite printed
notice, (not got up especially for this case, }
informing them of their indebtedness,
which of course conveyed the idea that we
desired our pay, as we do business on the
cash system. We presume the sending of
this notice is the cause of their refusal
longer to patronise the paper We do not
make fish of one and fowl of another. 1t
is our system of doing business to notify
all who have been allowed to be in arrears
and all whose subscriptions are about ex
piring, that they may renew in time to pre-
serve their files unbroken; and in the event
of their not complying with our published
terms, their names are erased from our list.
If our grandfather's name was upon the
list, he would get notice at the proper
time, and if he did not signify his wish to
continue taking the paper, by sending the
necessary amount, his name would be erased.
We have adopted this mode of doing busi-
hess, and all must fare alike. No one
therefore, ought to consider these notices
IN personal light; and we hope the Divis-
ION and It's members will consider the mat
ter In its proper light We should like to
have the good wishes of every Division
and every Son of Temperance in the State
II not their patronage; and we will not act
in any other way knowingly than to merit
the good esteem of all.
The amount sent pays ahead Tor severa
months, and if the paper is desired, it will
be forwsrded cheerfully.
This explanation will answer for severa
other cases of similar kind.
