RHODE ISLAND. = A Temperance
Convention Of this noble State, now
triumphant over its worst enemy, was
held in Providence on the 7lh ult. Like
a company Of successful warriors af-
ter the turmoil of battle had passed
away, we should think, from the re-
ports of the meeting, the friends of the
cause came together. Mayor Bar.
stow presided, and was elected Presi-
dent Of the State Society for the COM
ing year,-a station worthy Of him,
and of which he is eminently worthy.
The meeting is said to have been one
Of great harmony. Reports from all
parts Ofthe State were favorable. The
law has worked well wherever it has
been enforced, and it has been en-
forced in every place except Newport
and Greenwich, and there, reform is
ripening. In Providence the diminu-
tion Of pauperism and crime has been
truly heart cheering. A resolution
was introduced and passed, declaring
it necessary so to amend the law, as to
allow the officers to search private
houses under certain instructions. Per-
haps the Vermont improvements also
will be added. The Convention was
ably and happily ad dressed by Messrs.
Bungay, Merritt, Neeks, Richmond
and Rev. DIR. Cleveland. The Doctor,
it is said, never was happier and never
in better spirits, as he sees the burn
ing spirit poured down the steep
places into the sea.-Am, Temp. Jour.

INDIAN LIQUOR LAVA trader
from Chicago recently made his ap-
pearance among the Indians at Grand
Traverse, with ten barrels Of whisky,
Zone of which he tapped, and commen-
Oed business. The Indians immedi-
ateIy assembled in a body, and knock
ed the hoops off the barrel, and he
saved the other barrels by putting
them on board vessel in hot haste.
The Missionary seconded the Indians
by taking out warrant against the
trader, which, however, We believe
was not prosecuted. The trader left
and went among the fishermen, where
he found no difficulty in selling out
but when he got to Mackinac more
than half his money was Wild Cat and

Churches in the united State.

BY the returns of the census it ap.
pears there are 36,0ll churches in
the several States, and 2lO in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and the territories.
The churches in California and the
territories are not fully returned, but
the religious denominations in those
places are not supposed to have pos
sessed numerous or large buildings.
The halls or school houses which are
used in many. Of the thinly settled
portions Of the country, and in cities
by societies which are unable to build
houses of worship for their own use,
are not included,
The total value of church property
in the United States is $86, ,416,639,
Of which one-half is owned in New
York, Massachusetts and Pennsylva-
mia. Son
All the varieties Of Baptists, Meth
odists and Presbyterians, are included
under their general heads, except
where distinctly specified
There is one church for every 557
free inhabitants, OF for every 646 OF
the entire population.
The average number the churches
will accommodate is 384, and the
average value 80, 400.
Churches are more numerous in
proportion to the population, in In
diana, Florida, Delaware, and Ohio,
and lessnumerous in California, Louis
lana and Iowa.
Those in Massachusetts are the
largest, and have the greatest average
value. a

esting facts respecting the relative
value and size of the churches of diff
lerent denominations.

CoNNEcTICUT.-lf bold and decided
action, if wide spread temperance
literature, and the most reasonable and
lervid clergymen can save a State,
Connecticut will another year have
the Maine Law. A simultaneous
movement seems to exist for it, The
best speakers that she possesses, with
the best that can be. furnished from
abroad, Jewett, Cary, Kellogg, Haw-
kins, &c, are addressing her popula-
ton; and papers, tracts, and sermons,
are finding their way into almost every
family. Many excellent men in and
about Hartford, who stood aloof at the
last election, are now sensible they did
wrong; and there is, we understand,
avery general agreement among those
TO whom was attributed the loss of the
election the last year, to 60 strong the
next for temperance ticket.-B.

The CHILD WE LIVE FoR.-It would
be unwise in us to call that man
wretched, who, whatever he suffers
as to pain inflicted, or pleasure denied,
has a child for whom he hopes, and on
whom he doats. Poverty may grind
him TO the dust; obscurity may cast its
darkest mantle over him the song of
the gay may be far from his own
dwelling; his face may be unknown
to his neighbors, and his voice may
be unheeded by those among whom he
dwelIs-even pain may rack his joints,
and sleep may flee from his pillow.
Yet has he gem with which. he would
not part for wealth defying computa-
ton for fame filing a worlds ear, for
the luxury of the highest wealth, or
for the sweetest sleep that ever sat
upon mortal eye.- Coleridge,

A Curious Proposition.

We have received from our friend,
Mr.. ]. T. HINsDALE; the following
arithmetical proposition, saysthe Non
parisl, to which he desires an answer.
We commend it to the study Of the
mathematical youth of our city'
MEssRs. EDIToRs. In an old arith-
metic I find the following proposition,
viz:
A New York importer receives from
France, 500 pipes of brandy, which
cost him $500, 900, at the rate of $2 so
per gallon. How many gallons should
the casks contain? Answer, 10000.
Now, for the benefit Of youthful
mathematicians, viii add another
proposition to the above, viz
Supposing these 10000 gallons Of
brandy will produce in two years, in
the United States, 5000 barrels of
women's and chiIdren's tears; the
name Of Almighty God blasPhemed
100000 of times; three explosions
of steamboat boilers, by which 300
men, and women, and children. are
lost; eight fatal accidents on railroads;
fourteen over-sets of stage coaches,
by which several passengers are killed;
rags sufficient for FIVE paper mills for
one year; 500 buggies and other car
riages smashed, by which fifty legs
AMI arms are broken; 90 fortunes lost
at faro and monte banks; 70 fair repu-
tations blasted; 1000 once happy
homes filled with desolation and sor-
row; 900 men Of high dignifed morals,
turned to debauchees in every variety
of midnight carousals; 100 men who
once wore the image Of God. to wear
ing the bloated and carbuncled coun-
tenance of Satan; 10000 souls sent
to hell, and not one single good done.
What is the real Oorth Of those 500
Pipes of Pure French Brandy? An
answer is required. J. T. H.

N. JERsEY.-The cause in the State
under the powerful action of Mr.. jack
son, the agent Of the late State Con-
vention, is making good progress.
County meetings are being held and
well attended, and a very large circu-
lation is given to temperance publica-
tions. The clergy, we understand,
are coming up well to the help, and
the general feeling is that the Legisla-
ture cannot we'll fail, in answer to the
demands of public sentiment, to give
Maine Law. But New jersey, amid
these two immense and wicked cities,
from which she draws most Of her
wealth, must ever find it difficult to
lay much restraint upon the appetites
or the business of men, however cor
rupt it may be, yet let her persevere
and the Lord will help herb.
