Among those who visited Baltimore at the recent
election three wei known worthless of this city,
who remained over till the day after the election,
waiting for the result, and in due course kept on
imbibing until they became pretty nigh used up. On
Thursday night, after regular tour, using buggies,
hacks, Sc. to help along when they got tired, the
party brought up at Barnums, at an early hour, in
deed, on Friday morning. They asked for lodgings,

of them went TO the clerks room and begged for
biHe-he could not sleep without going through his
devotions. The good book was furnished, when he
returned with il and read chapter to his sinful COM
paniOns, and drew them all into prayer of the most
fervent character. They had to come down and beg
for mercy for full hours time on Bonded knees
and resolved never more to touch the ardent again.
In that little of the City Hotel was an impress
-ive scene-three ncorrgible old men becoming
converted from their evil ways, and permanently

and have been perfectly sober since. They are
fully reformed and now sing:

Spring of tunult, source of strife,

The Wise would wish thee safe in HI"
Although not a temperance organ, but ardently de-
voted to the good of our fellow men, we record this
miraculous reform with great pleasure.
