The following item Of intelligence as
to the whereabouts Of the people 'who
take newspapers was handed to me
a few days since, BY recent resident
of the place. That village will be
hard to head anywhere, on this point,
and SO far as | am acquainted with the
matter, they are equal if not superior
to most people 10 intelligence. ! am
happy to state that the Miami Visitor
helps to make out the list. Here is
the item:
A READING CoMMUNrTY.-The lit
tie village Of Lockport, Warren county,
Ohio, consisting Of only eight families,
takes and pays for Mirty.tIree news.
papers. They challenge any town in
Ohio to beat it, taking MO consider
alton the proportion Of its popula-
ton. E.
There, now, you have it; a fraction
over four papers to each family, and
they the families Of mechanics. |
'wot Of some, not thousand miles
from this region, who can count their
thousands, who only take ONE, and
others take NONE! would not vouch
for the exact amount of intelligence
which may be credited to the latter
class, however. Three cheers for
Lockport! What say you, brethren
of the Press?-Mami Kalley.

The Cleveland Herald gives the
particulars Of a recent movement on
the part Of the women of Ashland,
Ashland, Ohio, to restrain the liquor
traffic, which is quite novel. The
Herald says: "Some thirty Of them,
well backed by gentlemen, proceeded
to the grocery Of Anthony Jacobs,
and asked him to discontinue the sale
Of liquor and the use Of a bsgaielle
board, which had enticed many Of the
youth and some of the married men
from their homes. He refused, and
the ladies chopped his bagatelle table
into kindling wood, and emptied his
liquors. They then visited another
grocery and a tavern, both Of which
capitulated. Mrs. Witt, better known
as Mother Younker,' was obstinate,
and the spigots were pulled from her
whisky barrels" and now not drap
of the critter can a solitary horseman,
which may be seen in a twilight Of a
spring day winding his way into that
town, obtain to put into his cGmphor
bottle.
We do not justify mob violence, but
we can, in such case find an apology.
The wives and mothers in Ashland
petitioned, prayed, begged the Legis,
lature for q legal remedy for their out
ragged rights, and the reasonable de-
mand was triAed with by that body.
God has given to man and woman, too,
a natural right to defend their chill
dren, and remove miseries. In land
of just laws, provisions ought to be
made for peaceable redress of griev-
ances: if no such redress can be had
we sympathize fully with the feelings
of the women in their course. If
there is any wrong, let it be had at
the door of the General Assembly.

The new territory Of Washington,
created by the last Congress, com
prises that part of Oregon which lies
north of the channel of Columbia
river, to where it crosses the 46th de-
gree Of latitude, and thence along said
degree Of latitude, to the top Of the
Rocky Mountains. The land occu-
pied by missionary stations, not ex-
ceeding $40 acres to each, together
with the improvements, is expressly
confirmed to the Missionary Societies
respectively, which established the
same. Stations that were so occupied
prior to the passage of the Act organ
izing the territory Of Oregon, are also
confirmed to the Societies which es-
tablish them. even though they have
since been abandoned.

Logic.

A man who was up to a thing or
two, once offered to bet that he could
prove that this side of the river was
the other side. His challenge was
soon accepted, and bet of ten dol
lars made; when, pointing to the op-
posite side of the river, he shrewdly
asked
Z" Is not that one side of the river?"
" Yes" was the immediate answer.
agreed" said the man; sand is
not this the other side2"
"Yes," said the man, "pay me my
ten dollars. for by your own confes.
sion | have proved that this side Of
the river is the other side."
The dumb founded antagonist, over.
come by this profound logic, imme.
diately paid the money.

The Liquor BUsINEss.-The traffic
in ardent spirits says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, is said to be almost uni
versalIy attended with such fraud as
would disgrace and destroy the fol-
lowers Of any other calling. Gin is
improved by the use of sweet oil and
vitriol, which give it a "bead." Irish
and Scotch whisky are made of
American by the introduction of lit
tie creosote, 10 give it smoky twang.
Pale and dark brandies are made
of whisky by the introduction of a
little of the coloring matter, &c. We
read lately in the papers that one of
the delegates of the Cold Water
Alliance, recently assembled in Utica,
New York, in the course Of narra-
tive of his experience, informed the
delegates that he was once engaged
in the distilling business, and had fire.
quently made and placed on sale, good
brandy, rum, gin, and wine, from
whisky, in the short space of four
hours, and could at any time make
sparkling brandy from whisky, which
would deceive the palate of the upper
ten.

Sons OF TEMPERANCE AT CENTER
v1LLE.-The Division of the Sons of
Temperance at Centerville, is one Of
the most efficient and jealous Divis-
ions in the State. They are laboring
as men "zealous of good works. -
They have recently completed Hall,
and have it neatly and tastefuIly fur
nished. On Tuesday evening last the
ladies prepared supper, the proceeds
from which are to be applied to the
payment Of the last installment on
their Hall. The preparation for the
supper we're of the most liberal kind,
and was gotten up in a style which
reflects much credit upon those ladies
who gave it their superintendence.--

The QUESTION SETTLED IN MAssA

The QUESTION SETTLED IN MAssA-
cHUsETTs.-A few days ago, Mr.. Wig
gin Of Boston, the chief spokesman
Of rumsellers in the Massachusetts,
House of Representatives, asked leave
to introduce a bill for the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Maine Law. He
said he wished the vote on granting
leave to be test vote. 1t was taken
with this understanding, and Mr.. Wig.
gin was voted down by majority Of
two to one. So the Old Bay State
stands firm as rock. What the Bos-
ton rum lords will do next, is yet a
mystery. Exchange.

Minnesota EIOqusncs.


No wonder the Maine Law failed
in the Legislative Assembly. How
could it be otherwise when such an
;llustrious orator as Mr.. Wells poured
forth such torrents Of burning elo-
ouenCe againstit. This speech against
the bill will probably find its way into
all subsequent editions Of the "Na-
tional Speaker" and other similar
collections Of American eloquence.
1t is clear, convincing, powerful, sub
lime The St. Paul papers which
give an account Of the Legislative
proceedings, do not inform us whether
the orator survived the effort, but we
conclude that he could not without
stimulating freely. Had we been
there our humanity would have moved
us to say "give him some"
The following is an extract from
this thrilling appeal
"I invoke you in the name of liber-
ty; the liberty Of our beloved country;
that liberty which was watered by
the blood of heroes, saints and mar
tyrs: by the blood Of Montgomery,
DeKalb, and Pulaski conjure you
in the name of the illustrious dead
of Mount Vermont invoke you by
all that is near and dear, as you love
your wives and little ones-to pre-
serve unsullied the liberties of your
country-and transmit them to your
children, and your children's children
without spot or blemish. Pass this
bill Mr.. Speaker, and the Represen-
tatives of the people of Minnesota
will have declared in their places un-
der the sanction Of an oath, sworn on
the altar of their God, that the liher-
ties of the people are gone. Pass
this bill, Mr.. Speaker, and the hand
of that clock which indicates the So
cial and moral condition Of man, will
have turned back a century. Pass
this bill, and it may well be said that
the institutions of our country have
fallen upon evil times. If the use of
spurious liquors be an evil, it is
moral evil, and must be reformed, if
reformed at all, by moral means.
Convince man against his will,
And he is of the same opinion STILL"
He who suffered on Mount Calvary
for the sins Of the World, declared on
memorable occasion, "My weapons
are spiritual not carnal." In the name
of Him, who at the wedding at Canaan
in GaliIlee, caused the unconscious
water when it beheld its God to come
blushing forth into wine. In the
name of Him who said "every man
shall lie down under his own vine and
fig-tree, and none shall molest and
make him afraid" In the name of
our adopted fellow citizens from the
vine clad hills of the Rhine, deny not
to these brave sons and fair daughters,
when yearly assembled around the
family altar, and fire e-side to talk of
the "fader land" and to give thanks
unto God "about the time you put the
sickle to the corn," to rejoice over the
product Of the vintage"
