REV. DIR. BEEcHER AND THE TRAFFIC

Traffic of Intoxicating Drinks, for

ity TO truth. will never be surpassed
Let every friend Of the .Prohibitory
law READ IT, and be strengthened in
his resolution to persevere. Letevery
opposer Of Prohibition read it, and ex-

resolution and strength to forsake a
trade in every way so fatal. in every
point Of view so demoralizing-let
him not wait fora law to compel him
to do it:

lawful avocations the welfare of the

CINCINNATI WATER CURE.

In our paper ofto-day, may be seen
a beautiful cut of the Cincinnati Wa
ter Cure Establishment. 1t is located
on the G. III. d ID. r. r., near Car
thage. The locality has always en-
joyed the purest and healthiest atmos-
phere. The rooms and every thing
about the establishment, are arranged
in.such manner, as to gain every
advantage of all things, that in any
way conduce to health and comfort
A few days since, with some friends.
we visited the place, and were kindly
shown, by the proprietor. the various
arrangements and appurtenances of
the establishment. We were much
pleased at the neatness and almost
mathematical order, that prevails
throughout every department. The
baths are admirably arranged, and are
indeed most desirable luxury. The
bill of fare, is just such as sensible
person could look upon with hearty
appetite. The exercises and amuse-
ments are physically and mentally, Of
the mostlegitimate order. Tie grounds,
gardens and walks, are taslefully laid
out and in due course of natural
growth, will be highly ornamental and
pleasant. Throughout, the arrange
ments indicate the most cultivated taste
and judgment, and the most studious
regard Tor the welfare and happiness
of the patrons of the establishment.
AS to the intrinsic merits of the wa
ter cure practice and its claims upon
our attention, we can say. that if there
be remedial virtues in it, and high au-
thorities attest them, DR. Pease, the
proprietor of this establishment, is the
man to develop them, and his patrons
will ever enjoy, TO the fullextent, what
ever of good may be derived from
water cure treatment. The great ad-
vantages he has secured in locality,
the admirable constructions of his
buildings, the superior quality of wa
ter afforded by his fountains, and his
own experience, must always maintain
Tor his house, reputation secon to none

HOW TO FINISH A DAUGHTER.

For the attainment Of this end Punch
gives the following directions:
l. Be always telling her how pref
ty she is.
2. Instill into her mind proper
love of dress.
8. Accustom her to so much pleas
ure that she is never happy at home.
4. Allow her to read nothing but
novels.
5. Teach her all the accomplishments
but none of the utilities of life.
6. Keepher in the darkest ignorance
of the mysteries of housekeeping.
Z. Initiate her into the principle
that it is vulgar to do anything for
herself.
8. To strengthen the latter belief,
let her have ladies' maid.
8. And, lastly. having given her
such an education, marry her to a
clerk in the Treasury. upon Els a
year, or to an ensign that is going out
TO India.
If, with the above careful training,
your daughter is not finished, you may
be sure it is no fault of yours, and you
must look upon her escape as nothing
short Of a miracle.

ANTI-TEMPERANCE MEETING


Pursuant to previous call a number OF
citizens Of Dearborn County assembled
on the 10th of March, at the Market
house In Inc city Of Lawrenceburgh.-
In consequence Of the severity OF the
weather, several American-born citizens
who had promised to attend and address
the assembly did not appear, and there
fore the meeting was conducted entirely
in German. The meeting was oresni-
lied by electing GIDEON RENNER,
Chairman, and p. L. Mattheus, Seerta-
ry,
After an address by John Schwa'tg,
the following resolutions were proposed
and adopted:
Whereas. a number Of fanatics ancdis-
appointed demagogues and office SEEK
ers are endeavoring to mislead III e po-
pie of this State by the present agitation
Of the temperance question, and
Whereas, further. their only objectand
design is selfshness, and the desire of
obtaining lucrative and honorable Offices
and not as they falsely assert, philantlro-
py and humanity; and
Whereas, further we are free and irde-
pendent men, and the only Judges ofour
own doings, as long as we do not in
fringe upon the rights OF our fellow men,
and therefore we do not allow those ia
natics and Office seekers to intrude upon
our natural and civil rights, and
Whereas, further, temperance u a
matter Of conscience and morality. and
not OF public policy, and therefore ought
to be promoted by moral suasion and
good example, and not by Legislative
interference and a prohibitory law, and
Whereas, further, the moderate use of
wine, beer, ale, cider and spirituous liq-
ors, is not only not injurious, but even
beneficial to mankind, and
Whereas, further. proh;bitory law is
directly against the interest Of the whole
State and her inhabitants, and
Whereas, lastly, almost every paper
in the State is either in favor of a pro-
hibitory liquor law or wholly silent on
the subject; we therefore
Resolved, That we shall oppose the
mingling of the temperance question
with politics, and making it a hobby up
on which disapp ointed and hypocritical
Office seekers intend to ride into lucra-
tive and honorable Offices.
Resolved, Further, that we shall use
fair and reasonable means to guard the
people against the numberless intrigues
and hnmbugs to which those fanatic and
hyPocritical advocates of the Maine
Temperance System resort.
RESOLVED, Further, that for this purpose
we shall circulate petitions for subscriP-
tons TO establish one or more papers,
and to support such papers as will advo-
cate and defend our rights, and that
such papers be circulated over the whole
State.
Resolued, Further, that all the other
counties OF the State be requested

THE LAW ENFoRcEs ITSELF.

Yes, even in advance Of the enact
ment Of the liquor law now before the
Legislature, many of the liquor-deal-
ers in New York are very anxious to
sell out. They do not advertise extern
sively, for that would excite alarm and
cheaper their property Manufactur-
ers and large dealers are pressing their
stock in trade into the hands Of retail
ers; sagacious men are now doing their
best to dispose of the leases for third
rate taverns, the goodwill Of many
large drinking shops, and the corner
stands of many noted porter houses
We have no doubt that the great mass
of liquor-dealers will yield readily &c
the law, as soon as the authorities man
