Esg- We owe an apology to our
worthy brother, Rev. J. W. TrBBITTs, |
and the good citizens of jamestown, o.,
for using the name of their town, some
weeks ago, instead Of Clifton. 1t was
purely the result of an accident, and
not intentional. There is good deal Of
difference between the two places-one
is a model of morality, sobriety and
christianity, while the other is just its
opposite;-abounding in drunkenness,
vice and debauchery and 'oine.lOuing,
sOkisky-adUOcating CHRISTIANS! When
ever we think of the Uery reverend
Mr.. Russell, ascending the pulpit, to
rlaim the holy word Of God-to
Things spiritual, (not manufactured ia
the Clifton distillery) our very hair
rises on end, like the quilts of the
fretful porcupine. How a man can
hold up and sustain men engaged in
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, and be an indirect (if not
direct) participator in its profits, and
at the same time be consistent, God
!
fearing christian, is more than we can
reconcile to our minds. Two extremes
seldom concentrate in the same head,
without causing degree of suspicion
in the minds of plain, common sense
people, that the owner thereof is pos.
sessed of a considerable quantity ol
deceit and hypocrisy; two ingredients
in the carnal mind, that our Bible does
not speak of in terms of admiration or
praise. But,
'Whe the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilsst sinner may return"
And the reverend gentleman may "see
the error of his ways" and, desiring
to " flee the wrath to come" be a con-
sistent christian and a good temper
ance man in precept and practice
Who knows ? Stranger things than
this have happened. How much bet.
ter would it be for the citizens gen
orally of Clifton if such chang,
should takeplace. We hope the Rev
, erend gentleman will look at the mat
3 ter seriously. A thorough examina

Rum Organ.

The Daily Herald, of Boston, has
been selected to be the organ of the
rum party of the old Bay State. Its
circulation will be increased some
10000 by the operation. Hope they
will favor us with an exchange, as we
are really anxious to know what argu-
ments can be adduced, other than
gain to diStillers and sellers,
to sustain the liquor traffic.

A German recently blew out his
brains, in this city while intoxicated.
He was but recently from the old
country. He leaves large family,
wife and children, without the means of
sustenance. The man who sold the
husband the liquor should be made to
support them. Who can calculate the
misery, woe and wretchedness to the
innocent wife and children, inflicted by
the dread destroyer. Woe to him that
putteth the bottle to his neighbours
lips.

Acknowledgment.

During the past few weeks, the re-
ceipts of the Organ have been rather
limited than otherwise. This is owing,
no doubt, to the fact, that a majority
Of the friends Of temperance are far
mers and working men, and that they
are now in the midst of their harvest.
After they have gathered it in, we
hope they viii turn their attention this
way, for we. have a strong desire to
commence gathering our harvest. We
are in the hands of our friends, and
have no fault to find with their treat
ment.
Bro. j. D. Manning, sends eight
names and IS. The brother requests
us to send them the Illustration. "
We will do nothing shorter, brother.

According TO previous notice the Sons Of

of Temperance-Love, Purity and Fidelity.
Mr.. d. Holloway, of Richmond, delivered
an able and very appropriate address, after
which the dedication was very imposingly

Of the Teproach with which some persons
look upon Son Of Temperance, he re-
marked, that had he not found another Son
Of Temperance in Connersville after his
coming here, he would, could he have found

DEAR READERS The extreme
warm weather, added to most arduOus
and fatiguing labors, disqualify us
from writing, yet we cannot fOrbear
saying that our heart is much encour-
aged with the prospect of speedy
triumph of our principles. We have
Just concluded one of the largest and
most enthusiastic Conventions ever
held in Western New York.
The number in attendance yester-
day, could not have been less than
sir housand-if it had been political
meeting, the party holding it would
have set down the number at twelve
or fifteen thousand. The meetings
were addressed by P, I. Banum,
Rev. E. H. Chaplin, Brown, of the
Cayuga Chief, and ourself, Barnum,
as you are aware, is the great shOaC-
man, and he is not slow in (" shotOing "
up the evils of drinking, and the ini-
quity of the liquor traffic. Chaplin is
a man Of tremendous power, His
equal as an orator os st.g
to find. His style is unusually, finished,
classical, forcible and elegant, and his
manner earnest. For a refined, highly
intelligent, select auditory, we know
ofno man in our ranks who can surpas,
him. Bro. Brown, of the Cayug;
Chief, is very interesting speaker
We like the man, and we glory in hi
fearless advocacy of the truth. He i
a thorough temperance man, and hi
earnestness, sincerity and ability con
stitute him champion. The result
of our meeting were most gratifying
: on a vote being taken on the Main,
Law, all voted afirmatively, but on
, solitary individual.
! The Grand Division of Westen
New York held an adjourned session
at which some two hundred members
were in attendance Bro. Mills, G
w. P, was here, but too unwell tC
attend the session, or the public exer
cises. We fear that this beloved anC
honored brother will not long remain
to cheer, encourage and lead on the
Army of Temperance. His disease
is phthysis. His lungs seem to bC
almost gone. Some ten years ago h'
was a resident of Cincinnati, and wa
engaged in Bro. Goodman's Printin!
Office. He removed thence to West
ern New York, and has occupied a
enyiable position here, as a man {
. influence, His friends in Cinciuna
will regret to hear of his severe indi'
position If it be the will of God

The Light of Nature

The celebrated Dr.. Hume wrote an es,ay
on the sut1clency of the light OF u1ture, AZ
the 10 less celebrated i.obertso. wrote oG tie
necessity Of revelation, and the i2su.iiclency
OF the light of nature. Hume came one even
ing to visit Robertson, and the evening was
spent IN conversing on tire subject. Tn.
trends OF both were present, and it is said that
Robertson reasoned with unaccustomcd clear
ness and power. Whether Hume was cons
vcted BY his -easor!ugs or not, we cannot tell,
but at any rate, he did not acknow ledge his
CONVICTIONS. Hume was very much Of gentle
man, and as he was about to depart, bowed
politely to those in the room, while, ss lie re-
tired through the door, Robertson took the
light TO show him the way: 80, sir said lie 10
Robertson, :" find the light Of nature always
sufficient; and" he continued, "pray, don'e
trouble yourself, sir" and SO he bowed on. The
street door was open, and presently IS he
bowed aong in the entry, he stumbled over
something concealed, and pitched down stars
into the street. Robertson ran after him with
light and as he held it over h:n whispered,
