of them legal voters, pledging themselves to
vote FOR no man for the legislative Office,
unless he pledged himself to sustain law,

lance The work goes bravely On--Our
best citizens are taking hold Of it. The
good time coming, is not far distant"
Bro. W. B. Davis, Big Plain P. o., Madi
son county, o., $6 for Organ. In his letter
wefnd the following item of fcheering news:
"We have few highway.men among us,
who lie in ambush for the unguarded. And
like the rObber too, they lay in seclusiOn
by day, and deal the death blow by night.
Themost obvious result of their professional
valor, however, is serious wounds inflicted
upon their OsOn persons, by their OsOn wea
pons of offense. We have lived through
some dark days and gloomy nights but
a bright ray of light is cleaning in the
distance, which bespeaks the dawning Of
brighter day. The deep rooted evils of our
land are fast giving way to the wholesome
principles of temperance. These Princi-
pies must triumph. Truth is mighty, and
must prevail"
Bro. VIM. F. Carroll, GalliapoliS, Gallia
county, O., So for Organ. The brother
says, his county, is "wide awake, and will
make the rummies "hark from the tombs I"
at the coming election for Representative to
the Legislature. He says, no man can be
elected unless he is FOR THE MAINE Law.
Three cheers for old Gallia and her gallant
temperance men and women
Bro, ]. s. Pritchard, Darbyyille, Picka-
way county, o., writes to us that he is well
pleased with the Organ, and that tits doing
its work wherever circulated. He mentions
one rather dark corner in his county, tScioto
township,) where l0hOIesGle business is
done in the traffic, some forty or fifty bar
rels being sold annually. He says the in
habitants Of this township never heard Of
such paper as the Organ, and conse.
quently they have but little knowledge of
what is going on in regard TO temperance
He urges us to send few copies Of the
Organ to this region Of darkness. We shall
do so with pleasure, for that is our mission.
We have letter from subscriber at
Ne,UtOn, o., enclosing 81 for the Organ. He
complains that he does not get his paper,
and does not give us his name He mem
tions the name of one subscriber living at
Mention Falls, o. He will please give us
his name, post-ofice and county. We can
not promise to send the Organ regularly
unless this is complied with, Some broth
ers send US their money for the Organ, and
fail to give us their proper address, and il
the paper does not come regularly they are
dOOn on US. In many instances, the name
of the post-office is different from that Of
the town. We direct our paper to the tO'On,
and it never reaches the post office. Sub
scribers will be particular and give us their
post office and county
Bro. J. W. Perryman, agent, Montgomery,
Hamilton CO., O., 81 for Organ. The brother
gives good account of his Division. Hear
him: Be assured the cause of temperance
is gaining friends in this community. Our
Division resolved, last autumn, to hold dur
ing the long evenings of the season, public
meetings once month, These meetings
have grown ia interest, and many good
temperance men, who have stood aloof from
active service in the noble cause for years
past, have become interested and aroused
up, and taken high ground in regard to the
principles Of the Maine Liquor Law, while
others have declared their intention never
again to vote for incorporate men, or assist
in elevating to Office those who are pledged
to the Dutch Coffee-house interest"

ingum county, o., $40 for ten additional
