their position to the friends Of Tenn

MODERN CHRONICLES.
CHAPTER III.

I. Now it came to pass, after the
Ottowas were driven beyond the great
river, and the Pale Face took posses
sion Of their hunting ground, there
came from the East the Warites and
the Peaites, and pitched their tents
where the two rivers came together
2. And in process Of time, they
built them city, and it was called
the city of Contention, because there
was great strife among the people.
3. Now, the Peaites were such as
turned away from strong drink, and
went not into the tents of wickedness ;
but the Warites tarried long at the
wine, and were much given to ini-
quity. ...
4. Barabbas, the Topper, was king
over the Warites, and he erected an
alter to Bacchus, on the plains of Sen
suality, where he offered up sacrifices
unto Moloch; and the number of VIC
tins sacrificed on this alter, was ex-
ceedingly great.
5. Now, lothian, the Upright, who
ruled over the Peaites, erected tenn
pie on the hill of Sobriety, as place
of refuge for such as were to be offer
ed up on the alter of Bacchus as a
sacrifice to Moloeh, as would flee there
for protection; and many were saved
thereby.
6. When Barabbas, the Topper, saw
that many of his victims escaped the
sacrifice, and fled for their lives to the
temple of Sobriety for protection, he
was very wroth. -
7. Now, Barabbas, the Topper, had
many that bear his burdens, for they
had been purchased with strong drink
moreover, he was father of such as
sold coarse linen and frankincense
and spoke evil Of the Peaites and he
called unto him sorrel Top, the Defa.
mer, and made him ruler over hi.

Bro. CARY: You will see by the
reports of the proceedings Of the
House of Representatives, that the
Temperance bill has been defeated for
this session, although it received a
majority of four votes on its final
passage. Our present wise Constitu-
ton provides that a majority of all
the members elected to each House
shall vote in favor Of any bill, before
it shall become a law. The Tenn
perance bill has, / believe, in every
instance, when a test vote has been
had, secured majority of the mem
bers present and voting. Had we
therefore had the same chance that
our brethren have in other States,
we should have had very efficient
temperance law this winter; for / am
well assured, thatit would have pass
ed the Senate if it had passed the
House. But it should also be borne
in mind, that two of our friends voted
against the bill, knowing it must be
defeated, so as to have the privilege
Of moving for reconsideration. And
better still, there were two certain, if
not three, who were absent, and who
are known to be friends of the bill.
Our friends counted forty y-eight, and
some forty-nine, who were in favor of
the bill, but they never could be all
on hand at any one time when the
bill could be reached. Be it remem-
bered that we must have forty-nine
votes in the House of Representatives
in favor Of the measure, and in order
to make sure of this we must elect for
the next Legislature at least fifty-one
or two, pledged friends of the Maine
Law. You may put Franklin county
down for two Of these. How many
will Hamilton give US? We shall
see. We are getting signers to our
Temperance Alliance Constitution,
and next Thursday we meet for or
ganization. Can you not come up
and help us. We meet at 2 O'Clock,
P. NJ, and if you will come up we
can have rousing meeting. Ifit be
possible, please be with us. think
you had better publish the proceed
ings Of the House on the temperance

COM MUNICATIoNs.
Moscow, Jan. 18th, '53.


BRo. CLARK-There was Tenn
perance Meeting held at Moscow,
Coshocton county, January, 49,; EPH-
RAM DEvIkNA, President; and ISRAEL
GIBSON, Secretary, HENRY CHANCE
IecLured on the "Constitutionality of
the Maine Law" and the following
resolutions were adopted:
lst. ResoIced, That while the friends
Of freedom in the North have been
rallying their forces to make a great
stroke for human liberty it is no less
our duty, as temperance men and wo-
men, to rally round the temperance
banner, and make another effort to
stay the cruelties Of the tyrant intem-
perance, under whose bloody reign
earth's teeming millions have groaned
for ages.
End. Resolued, That in the passage
Of a law, similar in its provisions to
that known as the Maine Law, we re-
c0gnise an act calculated to meet the
wants of the people Of Ohio, in rela-
ton to the ruinous traffic in intoxicat-
ing drinks.
Sd. ResoIued, That as citizens ofthe
State Of Ohio, we respectfully ask our
Legislature, now in session, to give us
law similar in its provisions to that of
the Maine Law.
4M. Resolved, That as friends Of
freedom and humanity, we can not
vote for any candidate for the Legis-
Tature who will not favor the passage
ola law, entirely prohibiting the man,
ufacture, traffic and use of intoxicating
drinks as a beverage.
5th. ResoZued, That a copy of the
proceedings of this meeting be furn-
ished to the county papers and the
Temperance Organ for publication,
and be forwarded to our Representa-
6Yes at Columbus.

A Model County Temperance on
the Reserve Again.

Medina county is one of the most
thoroughly organized counties in the
State Of Ohio. There are Temper
ance Leagues in every township, and
then there is County Society, which
holds its meetings at stated periods
in the different central neighbor-
hoods.
The women of the county are as
earnest in the work as the foremost
men. Mrs. Bronson, of Medina vii
lage, one of the officers of the Wo-
mems State Society, has lectured with
good effect in many of the townships.
Recently I attended County Con-
vention, at Wadsworth Center. The
attendance was large and the interest
earnest.
The women took part in the Con-
vention, and a Committee of Matrons
was appointed to prepare resolutions
expressing their sentiments.
They resolved, that all men who
upheld the liquor traffic were enemies
of women, and then declared, 'We
would not vote for any candidate for
any civil Office, who was not known
to be a Temperance man."
This was considered emphatically a
bold movement-rather too bold. The
resolution was amended-"Had we
the right of suffrage, we would not
vote, etc."
Then the ladies resolved, that fthe
present Legislature did not do some-
thing emphatic for Temperance, "pe-
t;tiOnS In bootS'' must be sent there next
winter.
Such resolutions show that the wo-
men of Medina are in earnest, and
''aUkeYe there's a wiiI, there's wdy."
The resolutions reported by the
Gentlemen's Committee were as fol-
lows:
1st. RESOLVED, That Society has a
right to self protection.
End. ResoIved, That the circum-
stances of our day, demand that So
ciety should protect itself from the
evils of the sale of intoxicating Ii
quors.
Sd. Reso1ued, That this protection
may be secured by prohibitory laws.
4M. Resolved, That as citizens Of
Ohio, regarding the best interests of
our fellow-citizens and our Common
wealth we demand that our Legisla-
ture shall pass such laws as will secure

A CUmoUs PRAYER-In the State of Ohio
there resided family consiting of an old man
by the name of Beaver and his three sons all Of
whom are hard 'pets" who had often laughed
to scorn the advice and entreaties of pious
though very eccentric minister who resided in
the same town. 1t happened that one of the
boys was bitten by rattlesnake and was ex-
pected to die when the minister was sent for in
great haste. On his arrival he found the young
man very penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister calling on the family kneel-
ned down and prayed in this wise
30 Lord we thank thee for rattlesnakes we
thank thee because rattlesnake has Bitten Jim
We pray thee send rattlesnake to bite John
send one to bite Bill send one to bite Sam and
0 Lord send the biggest kind of rattlesnake
to bite the old man, for nothing but rattesnakes
will ever bring the Beaver family to repent
ance !"-Syracase Star.

The St. Louis Mteligencer of recent date
gives an account of the suferings ofa party Of
emigrants who were among the first to attempt
to pass over the country, west of the Rocky
Mountains to California. Two of the party, Col.
Eddy and Mrs. Pike are now on visit to
st. Louis having adopted California as their
home, and being among the Oldest residents of
that State. The emigrant party referred to
left the borders of the United States in April,
l846, and struggling along without any well
marked course to direct them reached the Ser
ma Nevada Mountains in October, Here they
were compelled to pause and shelter themselves
in rude huts on account of the heavy snow
which in some places was twenty feet deep
Here also famine, starvation and death visited
them, thinning their numbers and threatning to
exterminate them all. Six of the party, Col
VIM. H. Eddy Mr.. Foster Mrs. Harriet Pike
and three other ladies finally resolved to push
forward across the mountains and if possible
reach a settlement and send back relief to the
Others still living, They left on their hazard
Gus journey about the last of December with
snow on the ground during their whole progress.
They finally arrived at small settlement on
the 18th Of January reduced nearly to the last
extremity from starvation and exposure-they
having subsisted on their journey mostly on
grass and roots and had for two or three months
previous to their starting eaten food possessing
but little more nourishment, When they arri-
we'd, the gentlemen weighed scarcely one hun
dred pounds, though they were large proper
toned men, and the ladies were so reduced they
weighed less than sixty pounds each. During
their route the American Fork was swan by
the gentlemen several times they having sup.
ported the ladies in the hazardous undertaking.
Soon after the arrival at the settlement, relief
was sent to the other persons in the mountains
and the survivors arrived few days subsequent.
Out of the party of 80 but four men nine. ladies
and about dozen children only arrived at
their destination.

The Man with the ChaIked HAT.
BY INVISIBLE GREEN, ESQ.

A few days since, while one of the up train!
Of the Madriver u Lake Erie r. R. was stop.
ping at Urbana, the conductor was accosted BY
a tall, lean, but sinewy specimen of humanity
whose appearance at once indicated verdancy
He was rugged in bellcrowned hat, shad-
bellied lnsey coat, pants of the same material,
and hog-skin boots. His hands was sunk deep
into his breeches pockets, and, as kind Of
counterpoise, his pants were crammed into his
boots Giving his head knowing shake,
which careened his old fashioned chapeau to
one side, he thus addressed the conductor:
Now dew tell, an they say you're the dri
yer of this ere wagon?
i am the conductor, sir
10 'Raaly Right smart Of boss to pull long,
pointing to the locomotive.
i yes sir; such horses can't be bought every
day
5r i reckon not, Colonel but then-do you
know Josh TOmpkins, up al Kenton J
No, sir, I believe not
''Taint possible now, is it, that you don't
know Josh? Why he's my brother, and I'll
Just be blamed if don't 90 and see him in yer
darncd consarn, if wasn't afeered your plsgy
hoss would run away arsl.....
G There is no fear of that SIR
aaa' do tell me now, you see I'm sorter green,
but I've hearn of these things to hum, and I'll
be eonsarned if they don't look skeery. It's
human natur, you know to be little Altered
the first time feller sees such a beast
There is no danger, sir; if you wish to go
to Kenton will guarantee to take you safe
This appeared to ease Mr.. Tompkins and af-
ter walking around the train, examining the To-
comotive, and questioning almost every body
he met as to the probability of its running
away. he told the conductor he guessed he
would risk It. He was accordingly shown to
seat in first ciSss car, and in the immediate
vicinity of our HoCsier friend, was a party of
our fun loving gentlemen, who soon discovered
a chance for a good joke in the verdancv OF the
new passenger. They Immediately got into
conversation with him, and soon learned from
his own lips that his name was Reuben. Tomp-
kips, the twin brother Of Josh that he lived
q in north western Indiana; and was green and
didn't know much about things, and was terri
bly afeerd Of the iron boss getting skeered and
running away.
One of the party was introduced to him as
Mr. Brown, the President of the road, who as
sured him that he was as safe in the car as out
Of it.
But sir continued the bOgus President, 'as
