DEAR READERS Yesterday there was
great gathering of Sabbath-school scholars
in this place. One thousand youth were in
attendance from Thetford, in this State, and
Lyme, New Hampshire, forty miles distant.
A spacious church was crowded to over
flowing. The exercises consisted in speak
ing and singing and in partaking of COLA
tion. Gov. Fairbanks, of this State, who
resides here, addressed them. He is an ac-
tive and earnest friend of Sabbath schools,
and has for many years been teacher. He
is not an orator, but plain, practical, COM
mon sense man, and all that he said was
we'll said. He spoke earnestly in favor of
temperance. After he had concluded, ad-
dressed the crowd. In the evening, I made
a temperance speech to very large crowd.
This place contains about 8 1000 inhabitants,
liquor has been entirely banished, and alt
acknowledge that the law has accomplished
wonders. Some say that the result will be
that the State will be thrown into the hands
of the Democratic party, and the law re-
pealed. Liquor-loving Wings would prefer
that the State should become hopelessly
democratic, in order to secure the return of
rum |! The Democrats being in the minori-
ty, the hungry wolves of the party are
ready to sacrifice everything in order to get
the crums of Office. The more intelligent
men with whom | have cOnversed, say the
law is gaining in popular favor every hour,
and If It is ever repealed, It will be by a
system of fraud and corruption, such as
none but political party leaders can be
guilty Of.
To-day I go into the White Mountains
te admire the wonderful scenery and breathe
the fresh air, although l confess that have
no desire to find it any fresher than here.

Campaign Organ, and are now supplying
them at $l2 per 100; Sc for so, or 81 for

has only limited circulation, will unite
in raising the means to circulate this paper.
1t will do a powerful work. In some cOun-

commercial" has taken OF late, IN
regard 10 the temperance question, is
truly mysterious. He has, at all
times, assumed an attitude of hostility
to the liquor traffic; but at the same
time has given rather a mixed and
unsatisfactory evidence of his true de-
votion to the temperance cause. 1t
would seem that he has been engaged
in sort of "cruel" sport, wherein he
has been pleased to fabricate some
noble arguments,,some almost invul.
nerable ramparts in opposition to in.
temperance but has never failed, af-
ter finishing them, to send from an
angry cloud that appears to brood
over his mind, shattering bolt, to
mar and distort their imposing beauty
and symmetry. We believe it has
been his design to balance his argu-
ments about equally on both sides oil
this question; but the temperance
side, SO pregnant with truths from
Gods own lips, will, even in unfair
hands, compare advantageously with
the foul and ungodly opposition. He
has exhibited remarkable fecundity in
producing objections to legal enact.
luent upon this subject, but has al
ways been utterly barren as to any
other means Of remedying this great
evil. So it is with all who have taken
sides in the opposition. They pro-
fess to see as clearly as any one, the
terrible ravages of intemperance (;
they admit that it is the deadliest
blight on Gods green earth, and ac-
knowledge at last the.total inefficiency
Of "hoary-headed" moral suasion to
eradicate it; but when a prohibitorv
law comes up, which is known to be
a complete antidote to the evil, they
at once affect to see in it all the gor-
geous and chimeras of usurped au.
thority, the doleful spectres and hob
goblins of strangled human liberty,
and all the frightful fore-shadowings
of the basest tyrannical government.
To use the language Of profound
Ohio legislator, they take retrospect.

this measure evaded by miserable, de-
signing outlaws, trampled under foot
by drunken rabbles, and basely con-
fronted by the high.handed, IRON

lion. Such are the woful, terrifying
visions that have harassed the qGie-
tude and peace of these anti.Maine
Law saints. But Notwithstanding their
deep conviction of the outrageous
wrongs of the liquor traffic, notwith-
standing their fearful forebOdings as
to the operation of this law, they have
all been too modest, too exquisitely
nice, to even suggest the poorest
remedy.
/ A translation of their motto is, 1--WE

that the American troops would be found as

Arise! my muse, thy powers exert,
With unaccustomed might,
Olympia's heaulics rare to sing,
A most enchanting sight.
She's built, as you arc well aware,
Al the lead Of Puget Sound
A lovely spot as is Oh Garth,
a fertile country round.
But most of all we wish to sing
Her moral beauties arc,
To show that she, with any town,
In the kingdom can compare.
Her merchants, first, we'll take in hand,
For they're the upper ten,
And deal as mildly as we can,
With such close listed men.
Because they know that we must have
The articles they deal in
A most outrageous price put on,
Without blush or feeling.
Her butlsrs, bakers, and so forth,
Her market men we mean,
Are men to be respected, too,
As we shall show, ween.
They know VIC cannot sllrve, and so
They make us foot the bill;
% And il our noasy DON. hold ont,
They know our stompchs will.
And so, a most oppressive price
For all prOvi-ions ask,
Which we green Emigrsnts to pay,
Our utmost powers must task.

Her loafers through the street,
Arc pleasant sights which meet your eye,
Where e'er yOO turn your feet
And ir you wish to take a walk
Through Chinook street, and view
The inhabitants residing there.
Wen 90 along with you.
A pleasant sight Il is to sec
The natives as you pass,
Engaged in drying clans, in which
The whites they far surpass.
But AOla your bssath before you start,
Or you may be knocked down,
By fragrant odors which arise,
From this neat part of town.
and il the town sAould chance be cursed,
With cholera o. small POx,

But that it has been bret.

RULES II RAISING PoULTEY.-lhe Can
t.rbury Journal gives the following rules
for raising poultry;
l. All Young chickens, ducks and tur-
KEYS, should b, kept under cover, out OF the
weather during rainy seasons.
,. Twice or thrice week, pepper, sha-
lots, chives Or garlic should be mixed with
their food.
2. A small lump of a.afrlida shoull be
placed in the pan in which their water is
given them to drink.
t. Whenever they manifest disease, by
dropping Of the wings, or other outward
sign Of i'll health, little assa'cclida broken
into shall Jumps should be mixed with their
food
5. Chickens which are kept from the
dung bill while young, seldom have the
capes therefore it should be The object of
thosa who have the charge Of them so to
confne the hens as to preclude their young
from the range of barn or stable yards.
6. Should any of the chickens have the
gapes, mix up small portions Of assafrtida,
rhubarb and pepper in fresh butter, and
give each chicken as .much of the mixture
as will lie upon one half the bowl of small
tea spoon.
7. For the pip, the following treatment
ment is judicious: Take off the indurated
covering on the point Of the tongue, and
give twice day, for two or three days, a
piece of z lie the size of pea. If garlic
cannot be obtained, onion, shallot, or chives
will answer, but if neither of thesa be con-
venient, two grains of black pepper, to be
given in butter, will answer.
s. For the snufies, the same remedies
as for the gapes will be found highly cura-
tive lut in addition 10 them, it will BE-
necessary TO melt little assafetida in fresh
butter, and rub the chicken about the nos
trils, taking care to clean them out.
9. Grown up ducks are sometimes taken
off rapidly by convulsions in such cases,
four drops of rhubard and four grains Of
cayene pepper, mixed in fresh butter, should
be administered. Last year we lost several
by this disease, and this year the same
symptoms manifested themselves among
them but we arrested the maladay without
losing a single duck, by dose of the above
medicine to such as were i'll. One Of the
ducks was at the time paralysed, but was
thus saved

RUNAwAI HoRsEs.-The Russian plan
of stopping runaway horses is as follows :
Around the horses neck near the neck
strap, is placed cord with running knot.
To this sliPnooso is attached pair Of rains,
which always lie thrown over the dash
boards, ready TO be seized at once. When
horse starts and becomes unruly, the gen.
tleman takes up his cord, tightening the
horses throat so that he cannot breathe.-
The most furious horse stops almost Instant
ly, but he will not fall or kick.
