ANN $500 1850
OLD TRAP Is NOT IN THE REAR YET.-Wood-
vile may have her torch-light professions to
celebrate the coming Of Christmas, and Old
Trap Div. $. Oft. will have it's nice suppers
and initiate sons in the noble cause Of Tenn
peranco. / visited the Old Trap Division on
the 9th December, and there was q large
turn out Of tho mombers and ladies-and an
t~i-members too, and they had as nice a sup
per as heart could wish, dainties of every
kind MS we'll as q superabundauce Of good
healthy food, enough to feed 100 hundred
more than was there. And that wasnot all
After supper we had a nice carpet presented
to the Division, by the ladies Of that District,
wrought by their own delicate hands. This
they done to show how much they loved the
cause Of Temperance. A handsome presenta-
ton speech was made which was responded
to by Brother j. Burfort, in q brief but per-
tinent and eloquent address concluding by
pledgingthe honor of that noble-hearted band
Of frcemen, that that carpet never should be
disgraced by the odious foot-step of n drunk
ard. He was followed by brother Bray, in
n short address to the young members, tell
ing them Of the many sneers to which they
were subjected, and entreating them to hold
out mthful and cautioning those that did
not belong to the order and telling them the
many dangers to which they were exposed.
His thoughts were clothed in bold and pa
triotic language, which done honor to Old
Trap, to see her sons coming out and advo
eating the cause Of Temperance, and putting
down that monster that but a few years age
they were troubled so much with which haC
caused so much trouble among her people
and made them destitute of that self-respec
that was due to free-born sons Of America
His remarks were received with great mp
plause and then we all welcomed in Christ
mas in joyous, sober festivities after whicl
we bid farewell to one another and ~returnet
to our homes, with hearts as light and ful
of that unspeakable joy that fills the heart
Of all Temperance men.

M'Lane's Worm Specific.

@~ The following, from a customer, shows the
demand which this great medicine has created
wherever it has been introduced:
BLossBURG, Tioga Go. Pa. March 30, 1850.
GENTLEMES-In consequence of the great con-
sumption of your "Worm Specific" in this place
and vicinity, we have entirely exhausted our stock.
We should feel obliged by your forwarding, via
Corning, N. Y. 20 dozen, with your bill, on the re-
ception of which we will remit you the money.
From the wonderful effects of said "Specifc" in
this neighborhood, there could be sold annually a
large quantity, if to be had, wholesale and retail
from some local agent. If you would compensate
a person for trouble and expense of vending, I
think / could make it to your advantage to do so.
Yours, respectfully, WIN. NJ. MALLORY,
Messrs. j. KIDD & Co. Per w. Z. PORTER.
~ Purchasers viii please be careful to ask
for DR.. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take
none else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison,
are worthless. DR.. MLane's genuine Vermifuge.
also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at
all respectable Drug Stores in the United States
and Canada. 81

WILMINGTON. Jan. 4th, 1854.
DEAR SPIRIT The Star Of Temperance
has at last arisen in the East in all its splen-
dor, and / hope and trust that the dark
clouds Of Intemperance will flee before its
brilliant rays, never again to overshadow the
rood old North State. We have achieved n
noble victory-our entire ticket for Commits
sioners Of the Town, headed "TEMPERANcE
TIckET," has been tri~umphantly elected;
thanks to our good citizens who came forward
m%aafully to our aid. Tho election was very
exciting, quietly conducted and desperately
contested. The Rumies died hard; they well
knew how 10 manmuvre, but the numbers
that had deserted the old %tyrant's standard
for that Of the Sons and Rechabites. left them
sh~ort-handcd. But their power, they saw. Is
not yet anuihilated, but that next wear we
shall again feel their force. We trust that
but before that time arrives we shall have aid
from every County in the State, with the
laws Of the land for our Commissions; then.
and not until then, shall we be enabled to
maintain our hard earned conquest. Let us
redouble our exertions the enemy is not vet
dead or conquered he is only stunned at
the unexpected blow. Yes, sir, believe me.
the glorious victory we have achieved was
more, much more unexpected to them than it

ngem and c~xertion could accomplish, but our
friends were too well organized and true to
their principles. Yes, sir, the first Monday
in January, 1854, will be a day long to be
remembered, as the anniversary of. the first
great battle, the Lexington of Carolina a
triumph of principle, Of liberty and law
The victory is ono Of vast Importance; it is
the Bunker hill Of the old North State, for it
has shown what q few determined spirits can
do when c~ontending in a just cause.
Nobly have the citizens of Wilmington
done thoir duty, and, rest assured, we will
maintain our position, the threats of the old
tyrant to the contrary Notwithstanding. But
/ again repeat it, we earnestly call upon ev,
cry good citizen in the State, that has hel
great and growing interest at heart--to come
to our aid; let it not be said that after this
strong hold, the Old Kings Capital, is taker
by storm, we shall be left alone in the con
Aict. We will eject him from our midst
and, fellow citizens, give him no aid nor com
fort let him not rest in peace even in tn,
darkest swamp within our borders.
