Bro. CLARK Il have recently
made visit to Northern Ohio, and
was very much grati6ed with the
healthy state of public sentiment in
that section, in relation to the Maine
Law. From all the information |
could gather, | am fully persuaded
that every Reserve county will send
all Maine Law men to the Legislature,
though there is, Of course, opposition
there, it is not formidable enough to
prevent the securing Of full Maine
Law delegation.
spent several days in the village
of Akron, and was much gratifed
with the result of the stringent ordi-
nances adopted in that place within
the last few months. | was there
some four or five days, and in that
time | did not see single case Of
drunkenness, nor could | see indica-
tons that the ordinances were not en-.
forced. 1t was my pleasure to spend
one evening in the hall of Cascade
Division, No. 88, and from the spirit
and energy which seemed to charac-
terise the members present, l am sat-
isfed to trust them in the front rank
of the cold water army of Summit
county. The Marshal Of the village
is the w. P. of the Division. He is
very efficient, active officer, and a
terror to all the rumocrats Of the
place. I might name other members
of the Division, who are active, zeal
Gus and effic ent laborers in the tenn
perauce work; but it is unnecessary to
particularise. Cayahoga county is

Bro. CLARK: The past winter has
been one of great interest to the tenn
perance people of this village. Our
community, which had for a year or
mLre previous, remained about sta
tionary, begun to awake, and, as q
natural consequence, the community
was sected upon, until the whoelump,
"a few sin-hardened liquor querrillas
excepted) became leavened. The
bread which had been cast upon the
waters appeared after many days.
But ii the winter was one of pecu-
liar interest to us, the past three weeks
have been much more SO, for within
that time we have reaped other fruits
Of our labor than the growth of our
fraternity, which has swelled its num-
ber to one hundred and four. The
aOOmen have taken hold of the cause
with zeal, as they 0lOGys do, and orr
ganized a Union of Daughters, with a
charter start of sixteen members.
Nor is this all. We have also had
the pleasure Of seeing a temperance
sim flung out! The "Amsrican
House," S. FULK, proprietor, will
henceforth furnish the temperance
travelling community, who may visit
or pass through our place, pleasant
home.

Bro. CLARK: Allow me to make a
fow observations through the columns
of the Organ, in regard to temperance
and the prospect in and near this
place. You are probably aware that
this place has the name Of being a
"model town, SO far as selling and
drinking liquor is concerned. Yet we
are far from being secure from the
ravages of the red-eyed monster. The
Sons and friends of Temperance
have done a great deal to suppress
the sale Of liquor in this vicinity; and
notwithstanding all that has been
done, the monster still prevails to
some extent, and there is not day
passes but that a strict observer can
see the awful effects of that disgracetul
traffic. And it is to be wondered at,
why the high.minded and worthy citi-
zens of Ifonton can so endure it.
| True, efforts have been made, and are
still being made to suppress it. An
effort was made last fall under the old
law, by the "Sons," in connection
with others friendly to the cause.
Time passed on, and the cruel traffic
increased. The same exertions have
been made under the new law. But
the temperance people are firm in the
belief, that the "Trustee Law" is one
passed for the especial use and benefit
of grogshops. So disgusted are they
at the recent efforts Of their Represen.
tatives in the Legislature to palm such
a law as this upon them, that it is al.
most useless to try to enforce it. And
another Legislature is to be elected,
and another session to pass, before We
can tell whether the wishes and en-.
treaties of the good people of Ohio are
to be Needed or only sneered at as las
winter. Some might probably infer
from my observations, that the liquor
selling is carried on in town. But
do not wish to be thus understood, fol
it is not sold just in the town. nor hal
it ever been, for the restrictions upor
lots sold within, the town are such
that it is not allowed to be sold OF
any of them. But it is "close about,
and any one who does not think SO

SMnnnll Lands.

We call the attention of our readers to q
somewhat lengthy communication, relating to
the Swamp Lands. Tho views of our cor.
respondent are somewhat novel. If he is righi
the rest are certainly rerong. This is ques-
ton Of vital importance to the citizens of all
the new counties, particularly of Ottawa. II
we are to be put off with sort of constructive
drainage of the swamps within our limits which
will improve them barely enough to enable our
legislators to reach and appropriate to other
purposes the "nett proceeds" we can not know
it too soon. The distribution of the benefits
of this grant should be in adirect ratio with the
damage occasioned to each county by the exis-
tence Of swamps and marshes within its limits.
Should these lands be thoroughly drained and
reclaimed as good faith requires, it will be so.
But, if the proceeds are diverted from their
proper channel, apd placed in any Of the educa-
tonal funds, the ratio Of distribution will be en-
tireIy changed. Population, or the number of
scholars will regulate it, and our swamps will
remain unchanged, the counties suffering most
will receive the smallest benefit, and the old,
thickly settled counties having no swamps, or
where the swamp lands have. long since been
purchased and improved by private enterprise
will receive the lions share of the benefits
The proposition of the AHegan Record. that
the swamp lands be sold only to actual settlers
is good one, and we should be glad to have it
applied to all the State lands, excepting those
which are only valuable for timber
Such policy would put stop to specula-
ton in farming lands, and leave them open for
purchase by actual settlers who can i'll afford to
pay second or third profit on them.

The Allegan Record gives'its readers synop.
sis of these plans, but prudently abstains from
giving them an endorsement. Ithowever starts
a new and important proposition, which is well
worthy Of careful consideration, upon its own
merits. II is, that these lands be sold only to
actual settlers or to those who will in good faith
Immediately improve them. -
Now, we are sorry to say that with the sim
gle exception we can see.nothing, either in the
Legislative action upon this subject, or the tone
of its discussion, which looks like carrying out
in good faith of the primary object and express
condition of the grant. II these lands are sold
without reserve, can the State compel the own
crs to allow them to be entered upon in future
for the purpose of drainage! And, what a
miserable sacrifice of the interest of the fund
to sell them first and drain them. afterwards
If they are to be drained blythe State, why not
drain them first and then sell them, so that the
State drainage fund may have the benefit of the
enhancement Of value caused by the improve
ments., If by any smooth juggling, we arc
cheated out Of the Intended benefits Of this
grant, it will not sanctify the fraud to put the
thirty pieces of silver" into the Primary School
fund. 1t seems to us that it would be Just
about as wise, honest, and lawful, to apply tho
"nett proceeds" of the sale of tho University
Lands for the benefit of the Common School
fund.- and we believe it would be full as expedi-
ent and acceptable to the people of the State
Should there be a surplus left of this fund, af.
ter draining and recaiming the last acre of these
lands Congress would undoubtedly sanction its
appropriation to any proper purpose by the
State. But without their express sanction, we
have no business to apply cent in any other
way. We hope that Congress will never sane
ton diversion of any part of the proceeds of
these lands without first making Il careful in
vestigation, and TO find whether they have been
fairly paid for in the manner stipulated.
