wanted TO be understood, therefore be wrote:
''naay the Lord pickle you'' We never heard
whether the Frenchman's friend was picked or
not; but thing we vouch for, and that is:

Temperance Meeting at CentreviUe.-We had
the pleasure OF attending meeting of the friends
of temperance in Centreville, Tuesday even
ing last 1t was called by the committee of la
dies who SO nobly destroyed the liquor in that
town short time since. They feel that they
have done good work, and are determined to
still carry on the war of determination against
the liquor traffic-peaceably and lawfully if they
can-forcibly if they mast.
The meeting was organized by the ladies call
ing Mrs. WIN. BAKER to the Chair, and appoint
ing Mrs. WILLIAMS Secretary. The object of
the meeting was stated by the occupant of the
chair to be to hear report from the committee.
The report was made and accepted Il was
then stated that some persons had publicly re-
ported that many of the ladies had expressed a
regret that they had participated in the destruc-
ton of the liquors in that place, and td4est the
question, every one who regretted their course
were invited to rise. The indiridudl was not
there. Those who did not regret their course
were invited TO rise when every lady present, SO
far could see, rose 10 her feet Then a
full voice of approval from the gentlemen pres
ent made the Court House resound.
Several speeches were made, and the meeting
adjourned with three cheers for the ladies of Cen
treville and the Indiana Prohibitory Law

slightly, we may say, most decidedly unique.
For instance -
In Dahomey, all the unmarried females in the

whatever may be her aspect or condition. This
king has three thousand wives; but the king of
A>haniee has exactly three thousand three hun

this mystical number.
Now the custom of the kings of Dahomey and
Ashantee, don't exactly square with christian
peoples ideas of morality; nevertheless one can
not well refrain from exclaiming "a right jolly
Thing is it to be a king in the land of Ashantee.
The custom in Congo is decidedly Mormon-ic

The missionaries tried to abolish this custom,
without success; The mothers declaring that

SHASTA COURIER.
Geo. ID. Prentice.

There can be but little doubt iha, the horrible
/ destruction of human lite on election day, IN
Louisville, Kentucky. was in great part the re
suit Of the exciting and incendiary appeals, made
by Prentice in his Journal, TO the passions and
prejudices Of the ruffians Of that city. But for
his pen the men OF Louisville would never have
shot and burned men, women and babes in the
name Of Liberty.
But our object in speaking of this modern
Nero is to introduce to the reader the annexed
letter addressed him by the ladies of Bardstown.
RI he have heart, and conscience be not dead
within him. we think the merciless irony Of this
letter must have had the effect Of making even
him wriihe and squirni. But hear the ladies'.
s.GrnRGg D. PRENTIcE. Esq.-Dear Sir:-I
have been requested aud instructed by the Ia
dies OF Bardstowu To present to, you, III their
name, the urn which the bearer of this note will
deliver TO You as a slight testimonial of their ap-
probation of Your Distinguished services in be-
half of the American party. They feel that the
country is much indebted to you for the devo-
iion 10 the great principles on which our Govern
ment is based. viz The burning of churches
Of impudent Papisis, the roasting, stewing and
irving alive Of the vile Dutch and Irish scomea
and infants. vigorously, triumphantly and glo-
rionsly achieved in his city ON last nj sht by men
whose souls were inspired, and arms nerved at
your patriotic investigation.
"This nrn contains some of The trophies won
by the "Anerican" party on Monday, viz: The
hearts Of Dutchmen. the ashes Of Irishmen, the
brains of auti-American infants, and portion
of the burnt flesh Of Quin, (brother OF the de-
ceased Popish priest all of whom were burned
a1ire on Monday night, for the safety and perpe-
iuity of our national welfare. The offering will
be the more acceptable, are assured, when
you are Informed that the charred and burnt
particles, and brains of infants herewith ten
dered are tic remains the identical remains Of the
momen and infants who sliamefully fired upon
and killed the brave men of the great American
party. who died breathing lofty aspi ations in
in the cause Of liberty, the Union aud the ma
iional prosperity.
Accept, sir, this HoLocAusT-ihese remains
of women and rascaly Dutch and Irish sucking
protection of American rights"
