ney of the Police Court gave notice
yesterday that he was having blank in.
formations printed. in order to prosecutt
in due form all proprietors and keepers
of coffee-houses. hotels, os restaurants
and he urged the police officers in al
cases where such persons could be con-
victed of selling liquor, not to fail lay

part, remarked that, as the law had
been by the highest authority declared
constitutional, he should take pleasure
in enforcing it in all cases brought be-
fore him. Orders win, we understand,
be issued by the Mayor to his officers,

LIFE INsURAEcE.-The fifth annual
report OF the American Mutual Life In
Isurance and Trust Company of New
Haven, Conn.,, has been placed on our
table. 1t is scarcely necessary for US
to point out the necessity of life insu-
rance, and the benefits likely to result
therefrom. 1t is a matter that should
receive the earliest attention of every
one who has family or friends de-
pendent on him for support. Though
we may be rich to-day, tomorrow
poverty may stare us in the face, and
we owe it to ourselves, to our con-
science, to all that is near and dear to
us, to make such adequate provisions as
are within our means, for those who
have right to that protection which
the laws of kindred nature claim. And
the best provision we can make for such
an emergency, is to procure policy on
your life. The capital OF this company
is S255,O00. JOHN S. TAYLOR is the
agent, No. 4, Main street, Cincinnati,

The New Translation Of the Bi5le.-
1t is generally known that new trans
-lation of the Bible into the English Ian
-guage has been commenced. But as
many persons have enormously inferred
that there is popular call for this work,
that various denominations of chris
tians are engaged in it, and that lis to
contain Improvements on our present
version, we have thought 1t suitable to
give brief history of this enterprise.
The word 6aptize is Greek word;
and has generally been understood to
embrace comprehensiveness of mean
ing, for which no other word is syno-
nym. For this reason, instead of any
? attempt to translate it, it has been re-
stained, not only in our English version,
but in the various translations of the
Bible into other languages. The Bap-
fists, whose views on this subject are
peculiar, in their translations of the
Bible into the Burman and other Asiatic
languages, instead of retaining the origi-
nal word, have employed others which
signify to dip or plunge. OF this. the
Boptist Bi5Ie Society in this country,
and NOT the American Bible Society,
approved. And in their discussions of
the subject, a feo Of their number went
SO far as to demand translation of the
Bible into the English language, which
should give their peculiar views on the
subject of baptism. OF this the great
body Of Baptists, heartily disaPproved.
But the men of the New Translation.

Mechanics Bank of indianapolis, has
robbed the bank and left for parts un-

Of preparing what may be called a
Baptist Bible. !,
The men therefore who have assumed
the great responsibility Of this new
translation are a mere fragment OF the
Baptist denomination. with the follow
ers of Mr.. Campbell. who are not gen.
orally acknowledged as an evangelical
church.
The notion that various christian de-
nominations are engaged in this work,
probably arose in the following manner:
The new translation men, held con-
venion at Saratoga, in the summer sea-
son. when the place was thronged with
visitors from all parts of the country
Through curiosity or other motive.
some Methodists, Presbyterians, EPis-
Icopalians, &c,'went into the convention.
The managers observed this, and in
their published report, they stated that
such and such denominations "were
REPRESENTED" at the convention.
1t is the expectation, that a work Of
Mr.. A. Campbell, which deserves to be
called his commentary rather than his
translation of the New Testament, is to
be generally adopted IN this new work.
We have no objection to any mans pub
fishing his opinions Of the Bible, or his
commentary upon it. But if he pub
lish commentary, he should call it a
commentary. No man has the right to
publish as the word Of God, that which
is his mere sectarian opinion.

Book NOrro.s.-Esidenes Of ptqp1e

Book NorIess.-Evidenee Of PtopAe-
en-, M Rev. Il. KeiM.-Tks Bile not Of
man, By Gardiner Spring, D. D.-Cduse
and Cure Of byfdez;ty, By Rev. Ddvid
Nelson.-These books are of the same
general character, as they are all de-
signed to illustrate the divine origin of
the Scriptures; but the arguments and
modes of reasoning in each, are widely
different.
The former, as might be inferred
from. its title, gathers up many of the
most important predictions of the Bible,
and shows from history that they have
literally and minutely fulfilled; and
thence deduces the argument that the
Bible must be divine, because no one
but God eeuid foretell or foreknow these
events.
Dr. Spring considers the Bible as a
production too vast and too pure to have
emenated from the human mind; and
as suited to the moral and spiritual
wants of the race, to degree which alb
solutely proves its divine origin. This
book is altogether mastery production
of one of the mastery minds of the
age.
DR.. Nelson, in his Cause and Cure,
does not pass by the ful6llment Of
prophecy, or the Incompatible excel
lence of the Scriptures; but his book is
chiefly an appeal to human experience
and observation, and is eminently adap-
ted to common readers,
Doctor Nelson was the proper man to
write the Cause and Cure of In6delity.
He had been an in6del for forty years.
He was man Of learning, and for
many years a practicing physician in
western Kentucky. He was familiar
with the subtle skepticism of Hume,
the bold blasphemy of Voltaire, and
the vulgar scofing of Thomas Paine; /;
and long thought that it savored of wit
to be an in6del, and of puerility to be a
christian. He became savingly ac-
qEainted with the truths of the Gospel
when over forty years of age; studied
theology, and was duly inducted into
the christian ministry. When, there
fore, he undertook to show the unrea-
sonableness of unbelief, and the truth of
the Christian Religion by appeals TO
human experience and observation, he
knew whereof he affirmed. No one
should venture to be an infdel, or even
toneglect the Bible until he has at least
read the "CAusE AND CURE OF INFIDELI-
TY."

ful and interesting memoir of daugh-

OBITUARY.

DIED--At her residence in Greer
township, on the Cd ult., after a shor
illness, Mrs. ANN MORTON, widow o
Capt. Thomas T. Morton, in the 66tl
year of her age. She leaves a family
of four sons and two daughters, alsC
many friends to mourn her departure
from earth. Through her death The
family have sustained a great loss il
losing good parent, whose counsel'
and precepts have ever been for theil
welfare. Through her death home
has been rendered desolate, where hel
voice is never more to be heard, and
her accustomed seat in the household is
ever more to be left vacant.
The subject of this notice was born
April 18th, 1889, in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, under The English dominions,
from which place she was taken, when
six weeks old, by her parents tothe city
of New York, and there resided until
the spring of 1919. She then with her
husband and four children removed to
Gallia county, and settled on the farm
where she continued to reside up to the
time of her death.
She sleeps-no smile illumes her eye,
Now closed forever from its weeping;
Her checks have lost their wonted dye,
She sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.
The storm that wrecks the wintry sky
No more disturbs her deep repose,
No vision haunts her slumbers now,
She wakes no more from deaths cold sleep
ing.
She sleeps, and earth must close around
Her narrow bed till earth be riyen,
And the last trump of God shall sound,
To call her slumbering dust to heaven.
