John R. Williams.

At a meeting of few Of the friends
Of temperance, held in Foster Hall,
about two weeks since, to make ar
fangements for securing the services Of
Bro. Williams, for one year, to labor in
the city and county, Bro. M. B. Mason
was appointed chairman, and ]. F. Cum
ningham secretary. @ II.
The subject was discussed by Brothers
John Waggoner, E. M Gregory, ].
F. Cunningham, and others. Bro. Greg
ory said that Bro. Williams was the
very man we ought to have constantly
at work in the city, and we MUST have
him. How is it to be done! Why by
raising five hundred dollars on the spot,
and placing the money in Bank. He
was opposed to engaging lectures be-
torehand, and then having to raise the
funds afterwards. He pledged himself
for one hundred dollars, for the object.
This stirred up Bro. Waggoner and he
pledged himself for one hundred more.
Bro. M. B. Mason, had already received
asubscription Of about another hundred,
Bro. Cunningham, fifty. Bros. Suule and
Garoute, each twenty-five dollars. Bro.
M. B. Mason, was elected Treasurer
Of the Committee, and ]. F. Cunningham
Secretary.
DR.. Charles Grant is also member Of
the Committee. I
Although the meeting was slimly
attended, yet il was without exception
the most spirited and determined demon
stration we have Witnessed in the city
for some time.
Bro. John R. Williams is therefore, per
msnently engaged in this city for on,
year.

Prof. ]. S. Whitweu,

We regret to be under the painful neces-
sity of announcing to our readers the sud
den decease of this earnest friend Of TEN.
perance, and former co-editor and cores
pondent Of the Organ. He died of conges.
tive chills, after few days Illness at Col
lege Hill, at the house of Mr.. F. G.. Cary,
President Of Farmers College. No one had
anticipated fatal termination to his disor-
der until short time before he died. But
the mandate had gone forth, and no human
power OF skill could resist its execution.
JOHN SPRAGUE WHlTwELL was native of
Boston, Mass, and had reached the 57th
year of his age. he graduated at Cambridge,
in the class of 1915, and had for his class.

Of Cambridge College; President Jared
Sparks, and Drs. Ingerson and Leonard, as
his classmates. For many years he was
roaming in foreign parts, was private Sec
retary to Commodore Rogers Of the United
States Navy, but in later years has been
engaged in teaching at different places;
Canandaigua, N. Y; Chilicothe, Lancaster
and College Hill, Ohio. Without wife or
children, or near friends about him, he was
alone in the world, and lately wrote to a
friend, perhaps in the last letter he wrote,
''there is no being but God has any claim
upon my affections"
In person he was six feet and four inches
tall, and naturally of lofty and command,
ing presence, with a fine head, and large
intelligent eyes. But modest and retiring
manner accompanied all his movements
He was gentle, difident and guileless.
| In intellectual gifts he had rich and pO'
etical mind, and the readers of this journal
4 will have remembered some of his pieces
He has many others unpublished, which
would make an interesting little volume
One recently written, entitled "Cals@'
Daughter" has much beauty and Pathos, Al
those testify who have seen it.

he won the love and respect Of all those
who knew him best, BY his unassuming de-
pertinent, his gentle and pure taste, his
classic and poetic talent, his varied educa-
ton, and his religious faith. In religion
he accepted the theological views Of Chan

nature knew no metes and bounds of Sec

mise. he viii be great loss to Farmers

rendered him every attention in his sick

ic enterprises Of theday. But we know that
Gods will is better than our will, and we
bow to it on trust and submission. For
our will is feeble, croaked, prejudiced, dark,
selfish and sinful; but His will is clear, ON
nipotent, all wise, disinterested, kind and
far-sighted, and what he ordains is all well,
and wise, and right, and good! Peace, mn

Massachusetts Law.

The rum party in the Legislature Of
Massachusetts, attempted last week an
initiatory step to the repeal Of the
liquor law. A resolution was intro
duced to inquire into the prOpriety Of
modifying or repeating that law. It
was laid upon the table, by vote OF
1874 to 115. This, we suppose, settles
the question, unless the unscruPulous
liquor sellers of Boston can bribe
enough Of the majority to take it from
the table. The whole delegation from
Boston voted with the minority, but
the Representatives from the rural
districts out-voted them.

re- We are truly gratifed in re.
ceiving the testimony Of our brethren
throughout the State, that our new
volume has met with their approving
smiles. Had we no other evidence Of
this, the unprecedented rapidity with
which subscribers are now pouring in
upon us, would be sufficient. We
struck off 5000 copies of the lst No,
thinking this edition would enable us
to supply all who might send in their
names within any reasonable time,
with the first numbers, thereby secur-
ing to them the valuable engravings
which they contain, and also have a.
considerable number for gratuitous
distribution among our friends who
have never seen the paper. We
have distributed quite number in
this manner. But from present ap.
pearance, we fear that our issue is 60
ing to run short Of the demand, There
are but a few hundred left, and that
number is rapidly diminishing. We
have two engravings yet 70 appear, be-
III
sides the one in our present Number.
Those, therefore, who wish to secure
these and the ones already issued,
must send in their names forthwith.
There are many sections of the State
from which we have not yet heard,
and still other places that we hear OF
large clubs being raised, but they still
retain the lists, for the purpose Of ad-
ding more to them. Friends, send in
what you have, and forward the 9th

Our friends may no longer have any
apprehensions as to the permanency o
the Organ. 1t tnow rests upon firm
basis-its circulation now being owe
5000, with prospect of doubling tina
number during the present year. Fo
its prosperous condition at the presen
time, we are indebted to its friends
who have vigorously laid hold Of tn
work Of extending its circulation, an

nov. MO16dn - 4sAOSSI
We are deeply panied to hear Of
the demise Of this distinguished and
lovely man, Pastor Of the First Baptist
Church of Williamsburg, Ny. We
were personally acquainted with him,
having first met him in the Ma
tional Division of the Sons Of Temper
ance, at Philadelphia, in ls47, as a
Representative to that body from Del
aware. The New York Tribune says
truly, "Mr. Rhees was a clear headed,
warm hearted, pure minded man, a
Christian, a Philanthropist, and a Re-
former.' The church, the missionary
cause, the Bible, the tract, the Sab
bath school, and the temperance cause
have lost one of their best friends and
most active and earnest advocates.
He has long been an active and dis
tinguished Son Of Temperance, and
the Order Esaer held more worthy
member.

The Ono ORGAN OF THE TEMPERANCE
REFoRM commenced, on the 2lst ult., its
second volume, and also appeared in new
form-that of quaIto--which is decidedly
more convenient for persons wishing to
preserve their papers for binding. The
typographical appearance of the Organ is
excellent, being printed by one of the best
workmen in the West, Mr.. @. CLARK.
The Organ, as aTemperance paper, is just
the thing, being edited by Gen. s. F. CARY,
whose name alone is almost sufficient to
put an army Of liquor-sellers to fight; and
his energetic and well written editorials
are full Of life, and are calculated to have
tremendous influence. Every true-hearted
Temperance man in Ohio should take the
Ohio Organ. 1t is Maine Liquor Law ADJ

answer an excellent purpose, having a
variety of choice miscellaneous reading in

Temperance Convention at Indian

G apolis. asa
A correspondent Of the Christian
Herald, writing from indianapolis,
Ind, states that a new era, in the way
Of Temperance, is dawning upon that
State. One Of the most important
conventions, both as to numbers,
weight Of character, and zeal in &C.
ton, ever Witnessed in that city, as
sembled on the 18th inst. Two Of the
most important resolutions passed by
the convention, were ably discussed
for a whole evening, before densely
crowded hall Of ladies and gentlemen.
A vote was then taken, and they were
passed by acclamation, by rising
vote-INcLUDING THE LADIES.
The first of these resolutions is as
follows: "That we will not vote for
any man for Office, who is not the
known and pledged friend Of a pro-
MJitOry law on the subject Of the
liquor traffic." and the second, "That
we will not countenance men in busi-
ness, who are, in any way, involved
in this murderous traffic" I" The writer
concludes by saying that he thinks
it impossible for the Legislature to
evade this strong appeal Of the great
mass of the citizens Of that place
in behalf Of the Maine Law, even
though many Of the members obtained
their seats through whisky influence

INrox1cATED.--With the true def
nition of this term, many Of our read
ers may be unacquainted. 1t is from
the Greek word, tOricOIOgy, meaning
to poison. In the wars Of the anCients,
arrows dipped in deadly poison, were
shot from bows, which proved fatal
soon after hitting their victim. An
arrow thus prepared, was called a
''torOs.' Hence, intoxicate, getting
its name from that word, means to
poison. Alas that there should be
SO many, even in this civilized age
who continue this barbarous mode o
warfare ! ras...s.. N, i5a.s,.
