Temperance Convention at Paint
ersVille, s

W noClCe gwen several
weeks previous, the Temperance Con-
vention met in the P. NJ. Church at
PaintersvilIe, April 18th, 10 o'clock,
A. M. Rev. John Andrew was elect
ed President, Joseph T. Coate and
John Middleton, Vice Presidents, and
G. F. Birdsall, Sec.
On motion, the following commit
tee was appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the sense of the meet
ing: Rev. W. G. Fowler, Miss Eliza
beth Coate, Rev. Mr.. Ewing, Miss
Mary Jane Watson, and David FauIk-
ner.
Mr.. Fowler then addressed the Con,
yention in an effective speech. Mr..
Andrew also addressed the Conven-
ton briefly; and, on motion, it ad-
Journed to meet at 2 o'clock, P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention met at 2 o'clock,
the President in the chair, Prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Ewing.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following:
ReSoIOed, That the use Of alcohol
ic spirits as a beverage is a most ruin.
GUS and blighting curse in the land,
destructive alike Of public prosperity
and domestic happiness, at war with
morality, religion and virtue, the foe
of industry, independence and respec-
liability; producing wretchedness and
ruin in the life that now is, and that
which is to come.
Resolved, That it is as inconsistent
for us TO talk Of temperance and con-
nive at the Immense manufacture of
this deadly poison in our midst, as to
caution our neighbors against the mis-
chief of FIRE, while we are scattering
burning Goals upon the dry stubble Of
the fields, to be carried over the land
by the winds of Autumn.
Resolved, That all attempts to Grad
icate intemperance or destroy the Ii.
quor traffic have failed, and will for
ever fail of the object, while the
manufacture of alcohol remains un.
checked. Therefore, every true friend
of God and man must exert himself,
not only against the use, but the dis
tillation of this most subtle enemy of
our race.
ResoIued, That every individual
who knowingly contributes to sustain
the distiller bears his proportionate
part in the murder of thirty thousand
human beings, who are annually de-
stroyed by the accursed fires of this
insidious agent.
Resolved, That no man can buy,
sell or use intoxicating beverages, nor
sell grain, hogs, cooperage, &c, to
the dlstiIler without compromising his
character as a Christian.
ReSolVed, That no consistent friend
of temperance can vote for candidates
for Legislature who are not unequivo-
cally committed in favor of the Maine
Liquor Law, or some other equally
stringent law for the prohibition of
the manufacture and sale of ardent
spirits.
RESOLVED, That we urgently recon-
mend to the men and women of Ohio,
to vigorously circulate petitions to the
Legislature in favor of a stringent law
upon this subject.
Resolved, That we believe it to be
the imperative duty of all temperance
men and women to Immediately with
draw their patronage and countenance
from hotels when practicable, from
drug stores, groceries, &C., where in
toxicating drinks are sold as bever-
age,
ResoIUed, That there is fearful re.
sponsibility resting upon the church
of Christ, and we invoke all profes.

MAINE LAW ELEGY.

Not shout was heard, not q croaker's note,
AS the cask to the Court House we hasted;
Not "soger" mostened his thirsty throat
From the whiskey there spilled and wasted.
We buried the "critter" there in sight
OF goodly number of people
BY the suns resplendent and genial light
Just in front of the Court-House steeple
No useless murmurings there we spoke,
AS we took from the wagon the barrel;
But we thought of the noses and craniums broke,
And the midnight row and quarrel
Few and short were the jests we said,
And we thought of the toper's sorrow,
If perchance he shold thump on that barrels head,
All empty and lone on the morrow.
We thought Of rags and squalid sheds,
And how sots and dealers would mutter,
And curses heap on our sober heads,
When they smeed the fumes from the gutter.
Sadly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone,
And of wakes and capers frisky,
And jolly good times which might have been
known,
Der that barrel of jolly good whiskey.
But half the liquor had guzzled out
When the clock tolled the hour for retiring,
And we knew by soakers random Shout,
That the foe had been secretly firing.
Slowly the barrel aside we laid,
The whskey all poured or flung out
We carved not the owners name on the head,
But left it alone with the bung out.
PLEBIAN.

INFLUENCE OF NEwsPAPERs.-De Tocque-
vile maintains with great philosophy and truth,
that newspapers become more Necessary in pro-
portion as men become more equal, and that the
power of the press will increase with the i'm
provement in the social condition of a free peo-
pie. Some writer's have stated that newspapers
were important to protect freedom, but DE Toe
quevle atlirms, that these authors have taken
n superficial view of the influence of the press
inasmuch as newspapers naintain Civilization.

The NoRwALK ACCIDENT.-The committee
of the Connecticut Legislature to inquire into
the facts of the railroad massacre, have reported.
They state the cause to be primarily the care
lessness of the engineer in charge Of the train,
and to the insuficiency of the signals at that
dangerous locality. The report is also severe
upon the management of this important line,
and states that the President is especially negi-
gent in the discharge of the duties devolving
upon him.

An enterprsing Yankee passed thro' Ceve-

THE FIRST FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTE
The day on which forged note was present
ed at the Bank of England, forms memorable
era in its history For sixty-four years the es-
tablishment had circulated its paper with free
dom; and during this period, no attempt had
been made to initiate it. He who takes the in
itiatve in new line of wrong doing, has more
than the simple act to answer for: and to Rich
ard William Vaughan, a Stafford linen draper,
belongs the melancholy celebrity of having led
the van in this new phase of crime, in the year
1853. The records of his life do not show want,
beggary, or starvation urging him, but simple
desire to seem greater than he was. BY one of
the artists employed, and there were several en-
gagged OH different parts of the notes, the dscov-
cry was made. The criminal had filled up to
the number of twenty, and deposited them in
the hands of young lady to whom he was at
tached, rs proof of his wealth. There is no
calculating how much longer bank notes might
have been free from imitation, had this man not
shown with what ease they might be counter
feted From that period forged notes became
common.

"CAN Crows REASON. 1t is generally tho't
that crows know thing or two, and that in fact
they are pretty apt scholars. The Eastern Ar
gas, after proposing the question with which
we commence, goes on to prove the affirmative
by the following statement:
"The miller Of Cape Elizabeth, a few days
since, saw two crows light upon the mill pond.
One got firm footing upon a cake of ice; but
the other, less judcious in the selection of n
landing place, pitched into some pulpy snow,
from which he found it impossible to extricate
himself. Crow, No. l, Immediately came to the
rescue and tried to push him out of the scrape.
Finding, however, that it was impossible, he
stopped, cooked his head one side in apparent
ly knowing deliberation, then chatted for mo-
ment with his unfortunate comrade land then flew
off.
The miller thought he would watch the de-
nouement. In about ten minutes crow No. ] re-
turned with two others. These three put their
heads together in consultation, flew round their
imprisoned brother and examined his condition,
and then by joint effort raised him up and
stood him upon the ice. This being accom-
piished, they rubbed against him to warm him,
brushed the frozen snow from his wings, and
finally all departed together, the saved crow be-
ing in the centre Of the Others tho it was still
necessary to watch after his welfare"
The Argus then adds" If anybody can pro-
duce stronger incident in chronological histo-
~, let him bring it on"
