MA1NE.-The State Temperance Commit
tee have addressed interrogatories to the diff
ferent candidates for Governor Of that State,
relative to their opinions upon the Main Liquor
Law. Gov. Crosby, in reply, states his ap-
proval of the law and that he has mo niodifi-
cations to propose or recommend" DR. Ilol-
mes, the Free Soil candidate in his reply,
goes entirely against any repeal or modifca-
ton Of the Law, though he thinks that "several
notifications might be suggested .hat would
strengthen its prohibitory character and in
crease its stringency." Mr. Pillsbury. the
Democratic candidate, has returnd no answer
and it is intimated that he has gone TO Moose
Head Lake to avoid the search of committees
and that he intends to remain there until after
election.

Temperance Meeting at CIyde.

On Wednesday 81 inst we attended a tenn
perance meeting at Clyde, and We must say
the people of that village and vicinity are
right on the subject of temperance, and are
ride dwake They have a powerful Tempe
rance lecturer among them, who has lectured
to them in almost every street and alley, and
that in a state Of almost entire nudity. His
lectures cons isted in pulling snakes from his
person, and fighting devz'. We wonder how
long it will be until the citizens Of Fremont,
will have one or more such lectures. From
the demonstrations of the people which we
have recently observed, we are led to think,
that the old parties will be lost sight of in the
coming campaign, and that two neU parties
will be formed, which may be denomiuated
the "Sober Party" and the Drunken Party :"
or the Temperance Party" and the Rum
ocratic Party" We do not see how il is to
be avoided-we do not see why it should be-.

The CATASTROPHE AT THE FALLs.-The
Albany Auas, speaking of the case of poor
AVERY, remarks:-
The scene itself was appalling-of this man
hanging between life and death, on the edge
of that vast precipice of headlong waters.
But it receives an additional poignancy, when,
by the mysterious agency of the telegraph,
the whole public, within the radius Of thou
and miles, are made TO participate in his agony
The spectators on the shores who beheld his
struggles, were hardly more present at the
scene, than the men who in the distant cities,
were told from hour to hour, and from min
ute to minute, of his peril, and the alternate
chances Of death and escape.

The Scourge at New Orleans.

For five years preceding this season,
New Orleans may be said to have been
wholly exempt from yellow fever. This
has induced thousands of unacclimattd
persons to settle there, who, otherwise,
would have chosen a different location:
while it has also made thousands far more
careless of their habits, who, had they
expected the fever among them, as form
erly, every summer, would have measured
their eating, drinking, exercise and excite
ments with due care. Thus food for the
fever has greatly accumulated in that
quarter. The construction of railroads,
and other extensive public and private
works in the city and its vicinity, now in
progress to an extent heretofore unknown
there, has, of course, brought together
thousands on thousands of persons, So
journers, merely, who, on account of the
miserable way in which they live, and the
intense labor they undergo, are in con-
dition peculiarly fitting them to become
victims ofthe scourge. Among these two
last classes-the dissipated and the miser-
ably poor-quite nine.tenths of the VIC
Tins are found, we understand. Old resi-
dents conceive that among the acclimated,
the temperate, and those comfortably sit
uated, the disease is by no means more
prevalent than it has often been before,
according to the ratio of population.

HE PROVIDENCE AND WORCESTER RAIL
ROAD MCRDERS.-The Coroner's jury in
this case have not dared to set public
opinion completely at defiance so thew
place their blame first on the conductor
of the Uxbridge train, next on the COM
pany employees on the Boston train, and
lastly and lightly on the directors of the
company with whom. according to the tes-
f'mony, the disaster originated. To save
on the wages Of their conductors, they
employed incompetent men. This was
the cause Of the disaster. They should
be made to pay hundred thousand dol
lars to the families of the TWENTY-FIVE
persons they have killed, and in proper
ton to those they have manned and
wounded. One such finale to such a
railroad disaster, will save the recurrence
of half hundred similar miscalled " ac-
CIdents."

ADVERTISE AND THRIvE.-The business
man who expects prosperity without ad-
vertising his goods, or his business, in
some widely-circulated journal, might as
well think of living without eating. AS
bread is the staff of life, so advertising is
the life of business. Many business men
who now lu1uriate in affluence and have
carved out for themselves names that rank
high in the estimation of their country
men, would now be moping along in OBJ
scure indigency had it not been for their
liberal mode of advertising. They let the
people know who they were, what they
had, and where they were to be found, and
the people came, saw and purchased; con-
sequently riches flowed in.
Our advice now to all is, odrertise and
hriue-above all, advertise in the STAR.
