I saw, Some time since, an article
your paper, from "a correspondent
in this place, giving the action Of the
ladies' Of our Yillagein circulating PEI
titions asking the town council to sup
press the sale Of all kinds Of the
4kritter." Suffice it to say, the or
dinance was duly passed, and for a
time it seemed to work well, notwith-
standing the rummies did all in their
power to make the measure unpopu-
lar with the Germans and many 9TH
ers who are in the daily habit Of using
strongbeerand ale. (This ordinance
prohibits the sale of beer and ale, }
/ say for a while, because, notwith-
standing the head Of the viper is
bruised, the tail is yet alive, and will
sting as deadly as ever, all those who
are blind enough to come within its
reach; and the tail will live, in spite
of all such Legislation, and squirm,
and coil about its poor, miserable VIC
tins until the bloody sun Of alcohol's
day shall set to rise no more, and the
glorious sun first seen in Maine, shall
usher in the day of total annihilation
to every thing that will intoxicate.

Gently addressed letters to each one of
the liquor sellers of the town, in
which, after setting forth some Of the
evils resulting from the sale Of intoxi-
eating drinks, make an appeal TO
their cOnscisn9es, (?) in the name of
humanity, justice, virtue, religion,
philanthropy, and by the love they
cherish for their own wives, children
and mothers, not to make fends oi
their fathers, brothers and husbands,
by dealing out to them the damning
cup Of intoxication. / have further
been informed, that they suggested to
them that, If this modest request was
not complied with, means might be re-
sorted to similar to those so signally
efficient at the Spiritual rapping'
demonstration in our neighboring
town Of Ashland. We will see what
we shall see. We have here thriv'

Twice the people---the better por=
ton Of the people7-have asked pro-.
lection Of their servants from the
widespread evils Of the rum traffic.
But such servants, while voted into
their position by those who petition
them, turn from their prayers with
scorn. Rum and demagogeuism, two
foul and oyershadowing iniquities,
have very naturally allied themselves
together for mutual support. Their
united strength has, thus far, been.
sufficiently powerful to defeat us.
The ballot-box is found to be the
strongest hold Of this alliance. There
met and defeated, the rum traffic falls
in ruins. i A4a 95iIiaM '. ,lla
The cry of temperance and politics
has lost its terror When rum and
party combine, for wrong, as they
have for years, it is time for an hon.
est people to combine for the right
TIE issue has been steadily rendered
at the polls, and should be met as be-
comes freemen and not slaves. Eve
ry man who loves country, home and
neighbor, more than mere party, will
choose promptly, for duty is plain. All
the interests that enlist the blind eff
forts Of party are nothing in COM
parison to those involved in the
Maine Law question.
II is folly 70 hope more from peti-
tions. Such has long been our opin-
ion. The blow must reach the root.
The people must speak in this matter
asthey do in others. They can Gre
ate a Legislature which will remember
the higher and holier interests Of So
ciety without unceasing prayer at the
door of the Capitol.
/ We know the right, and let us pur'
sue it. The campaign has already
opened, and with brilliant promise
The popular heart never answered
more quickly to the truthful appeal
Every man must give money anC
/ time to the work. The spirit now
| kindling, must be made to sweep the
i whole land. With unceasing energy
\ and zeal, the struggle must be KEEP
up until the election. If our friends
\ are firm, active and true, November
next will proclaim such a triumph il
the election of Representatives, a.
rum.fuddled politicians have nevel
H dreamed of. The weapons are in oul
hands. With the calm, yet unyield
I ing determination of freemen, let u
use them, and the Empire State is re
deemed from the accursed wrong 0
/ the rum traffic.
Who that has a friend or home
that has stake in sOciety-that love
his country, race, or heaven-wil
falter in the struggle? May all b
true.

loAlthough we daily see the evil eff
fects Of their trade in our community,
and the misery and degradation they
are bringing upon many, yet in spite
OF all this, we are sorry to find many
who profess Christianity, take sides
with them. They boast of their
temperance principles, and can 90 to
church and pray as long and loud for
the temperance cause, and the de.
struction of the evils Of intemper-
ance in all its forms, as any. To
hear them, you would think the saliva
ton Of our country depended upon
the promptness with which the tenn
perance men acted at that moment.--
After prayer, they have nothing to do
but find fault with our proceedings,
and stand aloof, afraid to say any
thing lest they should injure the busi-
ness of the dram-seIler. rag3 isb
bIYou may think this an extrayagant
assertion especially concerning pro-
Tossing Christians, nevertheless it is
fact, and | am not done with them yet.
Last spring the temperance men here
determined to use what law they had,
and selected, as they supposed, trus-
tees that were temperance men. In
due time one of them presented an
ordinance for the suppression Of the
liquor traffic in our township, to the
other two for their signatures. One
Of them, in all his wisdom, had just
discovered that the law was not con-
stitutional, the other Ia Methodist
class-leader, and a professed temper
ance man by the way) stated that
he could not sign it as he did not wish
to be made laughing-stock in the
neighborhood. So much for cosOardly
Temperance men; as for Christians,
God save US from suca .1qo baal
-iaOur Alliance is progressing finely.
On last Thursday we had meeting
in the street and had large audience,
which was addressed by George Fish
back, Esq, Of our county. He is a
young man, and right side up on the
temperance question His remarks
were plain, and pointed, and well-re-
ceived by the audience, We are
looking forward to the time when
there shall not be one distillery or
dram-shop within the limits of our
county. The ladies are strong in the
cause and cheer us on with their pres
ence at every meeting, and they tell
rs IN secure the Maine Law, and say
if we can not enforce it, they will
And | tell you they will, so sure as
they have an opportunity. Still con-
tinue to give the rum advocates q
'little grape" through the Organ, and
the victory will be ours.

MISERABLE DEATH OF AN INTENT
PERATE WoMAN.-Last night a wo-
man named Mary Kane, was found
dead atcellar No. 81 Ann st, under the
followiig circumstances: One Patrick
Kane, with the deceased, his wife, oc-
cupy the cellar; they have three chill
dren, one eight, another four, and the
third about two years old. Two girls
also occupied the cellar, one Of whom
said that she tended bar, and the other
did the house work and danced with
the customers. In one corner of the
cellar was small bar, where cheap
and poisonous liquors were dispensed
to sailors and others who visited the
cellar. Adjoining was a small room,
which was entirely filled up with two
small bedsteads upon which all the In
mates Of the cellar slept. This bed
room had no window or means of
ventilation and light, except what
came in the door leading into the main
room Of the cellar. 1t appears that
the husband and wife had been con.
tinually drunk since Sunday last and
that on several occasions the deceased
has been beaten by her husband
Yesterday afternoon they were so
drunk that they staggered to bed and
there laid. At about eight o'clock in
the evening the husband reused up,
and called 3 his eldest son to bring
him mug OF beer which he did. He
then managed to get out of bed, and
called upon his wife to get up, but she
made no answer. The son then looked
at his mother and cried out she is
dead. This proved to be the case
The limbs of the unfortunate woman
were drawn together as if she had
died in sudden spasm of pain, her
head was drawn upon one side and
her face was of a purple color. Cor
oner Sanbosn was called, the husband
sent to Jail as drunkard and Dr. Green
requested to make a post-mortem ex-
aminatian of the body ofthe deceased,
to accertain the cause of death. The
sight Of the crawling vermin, with
which the bed and body were GOV
cred, was almost too much for those
hardened to such scenes, though
about fifty of the associates Of the Wo-
man, as soon as they learned of her
death, crowded into the cellar, and
/ it was with some difficulty that the
body was taken from them,-BOstOD
