Temperance.

We extract the following from the Ur-
bana, (O,) "Oitizen and Gazette" of last
week. We hope the friends of Temperance
throughout the State, will keep us duly ad-
vised Of their proceedings, by short commu-
nications.
owe have had considerable excitement
in town, during the past week, on this sub
ject The Grand Union of the Daughters
of Temperance was in session several days,
and to back their efforts in the good cause,
the friends of Temperance got up public
meeting at the Court House on Thursday
evening. This meeting was numerously
attended, and it's efforts seem to have been
well directed.
The committee of Public Safety" ap-
pointed by the meeting, seem to have been
very vigilant in the discharge of their duty
Since the meeting on Thursday of last
week, nearly all the Rumsellers in town
have been aTaigned and pretty severely
fined. The amount of fines assessed, al
the date of our last advices, was about $I50
and the work is still in progress. The bal
is now fairly in motion in this community
and if kept moving in the right way, tn
day is not far distant when every dram-shol
in town will be closed-a consummatiol
devoutly to be wished by all good citizens

&C The Ohio Farmer and Mechanios s
Assistant

Such is the title of a new paper issued
at Cleveland, The first number is first rate,
not surpassed in any particular by any
paper in the United States. This is saying
a good deal, but we mean Just what we
say. 1t is much like the New England F ar
mer, published at Boston, of the same size
and superior in paper and style of execution
We have reason to believe that the future
numbers of the Ohio Farmer will equal the
specimen number.
1t is just such a paper as ought to havc
10000 subscribers in Ohio, and we hope
for the sake of the interests of Agriculture
Horticulture and Mechanic arts, it will have
The little 8sOen-bynine papers devoted tc
these interests, heretofore and now pub
lshed in this State, are not of much ac
count.
We hope the enterprising publishers and
intelligent editors of this Journal, will more
than realize their expectations.
Price--single numbers, $500. Two cop
les, $500. Always in advance.

what course would suggest itself to remedy
the evil. You would, ia the first place,
reason the case with him, and urge him to
remove it. If he persists in keeping it
where it was, would you wait until an ex-
plOsiOn had taken place, and then set to
work to repair the mischiei, or would you
anticipate the result, seize the powder, AND
remove it :
This latter, it seems b u, would be the
wise and proper course, and any good
government would act upon this principle,
win any one be kind enough to show the
difference between this case and the one
before us.
Again, man is brandishing bowie
knife in the streets, and threatens to plunge
it to the heart of citizen. After expostu-
lation had failed, you would wrest from his
grasp the deadly weapon, and not wait
until the victim of his malice was lying
dead at your feet,
Liquor is just as deadly, and far more
dangerous, and no matter who presents the
poisoned chalice, death is in the cup. We
shall be false to ourselves, to humanity, tC
God, if we do not seize this dreadful instru
ment of torture and destroy it.

Generous.

We have received many letters during the
past week, from subscribers to the Western
Fountain, renewing their subscriptions, and
instructing us to erase their names from the
FouRtaia list.
This is very commendable generosity
on the part Of our friends, and is duly ap-
preciated by US. The list of the Foutain is
heavy weight upon our enterprise, and all
who release us from our obligation, render
it more certain of success but, to all who
do not see proper TO release us, every mum
Der due them will be furnished with the
very best of feeling. We feel it to be our
duty to make thi, announcement to our
friends.
In sending US a list of subscribers, Bro.
Jason M'Vay, D. G. W P. writes:
81 am authorized by the subscribers in
this place, to whom back numbers of the
Fountain are due, to release you, or Bro.
Mitchell, from furnishing the back numbers
We want to see the Orgaa started undertht
most encouraging prospects"
Bro. c. W. B. Allison, from Bellefontaine
says &" The Division in this place passed {
resolution releasing Bro Mitchell from fur
nishing to them your paper to complete the
time for which they paid him for the Foun
tain. Myself, and other individual subscri
bers in this place, do the same --s so tha
our subscription will commence with you

We might give other extracts, but on
limits will not allow us.

Our Fathers, where are they 2

A few days since we had conversation
with the venerable Ex-Governor Morrow of
this State. He is now eighty-one years of
age, and although his wrinkled brow and
silvery hair prove him far advanced in life,
his upright form and firm gait encourage
US to hope that he may yet remain among
US many years. He informed US that there
were but two besides himself surviving who
were members of the first Constitutional
Convention of Ohio in 1902. He also stated
that when he was last elected to Congress,
there were but four of his associates living
who served with him in the first session of
his Congressional career, and that two of
them have since died. Why is it that Ex-
Gov ernor Morrow is now enjoying green
old age, his eye undimmed, and his mind
vigorous and active, while nearly all of his
compeers are in their graves? Doubtless,
one of the principal reasons is that he has
lived life of temperance. If the facts could
be ascertained in relation to the number OF
members of Congress who for the last hall
century have found premature graves from
the use of intoxicating drinks, it would, nc
doubt, astonish the nation, and awaken ;
deeper interest in the great cause of TEN
PerNnoe. The mixed truth is that Wash
ington is just about as bad a school of NOR
ais as any penitentiary in the Union.

Union Temperance Meetings.

We learn from the Akron Beacon" that
a series of Temperance Meetings were COM
menced on Sabbath evening, January 18th,
at the Congregational Church. The Metho-
dist, Baptist, and Congregational Churches
unite in these meetings. The second Of
the series was held last Sabbath evening, at
the Baptist Church, and the next will be
held at 81 o'clock, on Sabbath evening
next, at the Methodist Church. Messrs.
Gregory, Smith, Berry and Teesdale, ad-
dressed the first meeting Messrs. Bailey,
Spelman, Schuyler, Jones, Matthews, Greg
ory and Day, the second. These meetings
are doing much to arouse and cQpcentrate
public interest and effort.

There are numerous petitions in circula-
ton in Ohio, designed for the General As
sembly, asking the passage Of liquor law
similar to the Maine one--su6set to the ap.
prOpaI Of the electors Al ths nsrt general cleo
lion in The State.
The submitting Of the question to the
people, is measure we would approve Of
most heartily, for two reasons-~-
First-We have no doubt it would be
carried afirmatively.
SecOnd-Such vote would carry with it
moral force that would secure its prompt
and thorough execution.
But Art. I'd, Sec. 26, Of the new Consti-
tuition, reads" AH LalOs Of general nature
shall have a uniform operation throughout
the State nor shall any act, except such
as relates to public schools, be passed, to
take effect upon the approval Of any other au-
ihority than the General Assembly, except as
otherwise provided in this Constitution"
This clause effectually shuts down the
matches" upon all such legislation, " except
as otherwise provided" In examining the
whole Constitution, we find but one case
coming within this provision, and of course
all others are excluded.
Art 10, seu. 2, provides No act Of ths
General Assembly, authorizing associations
with banking powers, shall take effect until
it shall be submitted to the people, at the
general election next succeeding the passage
thereof, and be approved by a majority Of
all the electors voting at such election.''
We regard it, then, as settled, that the
two subjects of Common Schools and Bank,
ing, are the only ones upon which the Legis-
lature may consult the people. We think il
very strange

Petitions-state Convention.

We would urge those who have not yet
forwarded their petitions to the Legislature,
to continue them in circulation until the
meeting of the State Convention, on the
25th. Send them there, and let us unite
them together, and give the Legislature a
qood long one With proper effort we can
beat the Massachusetts petition of 10000

been already presented.

Robbery.

The boarding house of Mrs. Heaslitt, on
Baker street, was entered on Monday after
noon, by some daring scoundrel, who broke
open six trunks, from one Of which, the
property of Alexander Hanna, printer in
the Ben franklin Office, was taken $3l in
money; besides silver watch, worth some
$l2 or $l5, and few dollars in change
from the others. This is the first instance
on record, where printer was known to
have been robbed of so large an amount.

Muskingum County

A large meeting was lately held in Zanes-
vile, to consider the condition of the tenn
perance reform in Ohio. Active measures
were taken to thoroughly organize the
county, and make united assault against
the liquor traffic. Resolutions were adopt
ed favorable to the Maine law, and DR.
Robt. Marshall was unanimously elected
to represent the temperance interests at Co
lumbus. These movements are full of en-.
cOuragenent.

yet to live that he may rejoice one day with

the earth. God grant that he mayl

This lady brings testimonials of very superior
order, particularly in all the various ornamen-

though Miss Wilson will exercise a general
Superintendent overthe department, yet large
portion of her time will be necessarily devoted
TO instruction in the French language, (and to
teach her pupils to speak it nuently) to Draw
ing, and to Painting in oil and water coors. and
to vocal and instrumental music. In the usual
scholastic branches, she will be assisted by
Miss REESE, who has been prepared by myself
for the avocation Of public teacher, and will
be found fully competent for the task. The
higher studies will, as heretofore be conducted
by myself.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

New YoRk, April l2-6 P. M.-The
steamer Ell Dorado, with dates from San
Francisco to March 18th, arrived at 5
o'clock. She brings 2l4 passe myers, and
$s00,OOO in gold dust on freight.
The intelligence from California is
most important and interesting. A DIS
astrous flood had occurred on nearly all
the rivers. The cities of Sacramento,
Nevada and Marysville had been COM
pletely overlooked, causinga widespread
devastation, and the most frightful con-
sternation.
The loss at Marysville is estimated at
300, 900. AtSacramento the embank-
ment gave way, and several houses
Aoated down the river.
The country between Sacramento and
the mines is impossible. The Legisla-
tive halls are surrounded by water and
the members reached them in boats.
Nearly all the houses on the Sacrament
TO and Marysville road hoated away.
Many OF the finest brick houses in Ma
Ipsville have been rendered untenanta-
BILE. The damage at Sacramento
amounts to $4,000.
Intelligence from the mining districts
was not favorable.
In consequence of numerous daring
crimes, the members of the former Vigi-
lance Committee of San Francisco were
called upon to meet on the 18th ut., "to
take into consideration measures OF great
Importance.
