Tic Right spirIt.


The following preamble and resolutions,
forwarded 10 US by our friend II. II. SwAL-
Low, in our humble opinion, breathe the
spirit of true Chris.ianity-true Wesleyan
ism, al oil events.
More than century ago, John Wesley
incorporated in his rules for church govern
menl strong temperance pledge. In after
years this pledge was modified, 10 accord
with the notions of the times. Recently,
the old rule was re.enacted; and at this
day, we believe the Methodist Church is
doing more 10 forward the grea, cause OF
temperance than any o.her Church organi-
zalion in The world. Ii does ones heart
good TO see religious, civil, or political
organization standing out boldly against u
prominent evil. Ii cannot fail 10 inspire
confidence in the sincerity OF their probes
sions.

EscULAPiAN SPRING AT CoALPoRT.-
Quite an excitement has been manifested
recently in Pomeroy by the discovery of o
spring in The neighborhood Of Coalport, con.
tanning many redicOl properties. Morning
and evening, scores Of our citizens may be
seen vending their way insIhe dirOcIion oi
this wonderful spring. The curative pow.
er Of The water is altesIed by all who
drink il, and we are informed that several
persons are now using it for the cure Of
chronic diseases. partial analysis by DR..
Reed, Of Middlepon, shows that this water
is strongly impregnate6 with Sulphate of
Magnesia, or EPSON Sails. Ii is thought
that other impurities are also held in Solu-
lion. Mr.. Allison, near whose house the
spring was found, has, we understand, taken
some of the water TO Athens for analyzation.
Those who have tested The water at the
Parkersburg wells say that the water Of this
spring is very similar 10 that Of the wells,
but much stronger
We may speak Of this hereafter more AT
length
