Mr.. EDIToR.-

Mr.. EDiToK.-
You are perhaps aware, that there is, near
Barncsville, an anti-tobacco Society, which
ers and smokers The society met tor the
first time about year ago, and through il
has been bitterly opp' sed by those who are
stepped in the poison of the evil though time
sanctioned custom; yet t is slowly progress.

rience has shown to us the benefit of shun

TO make use of all moral means to induce 9th
ers to forsake the worse than useless practice
of using tobacco as luxury. Viewing the
matter in this light the Society has instructed
me to forward to you q copy of the most i'm
portant parts Of our Constitution and by laws;

need(ul reform will induce you to publish
them for the benefit of those who read your
paper, we humbly avail ourselves of the op-
portunity to have them inserted in your col
umns. Yours truly,
ELAN BAILEY, Sec'y.

6rA friend has just handed us copy Of
! the last Enterprise iours was unaccouatdbiy
not receved,) in which we find no less than
two columns of editorial directed at our hum.
BILE sell, in reference 10 our notice of his lot
terry advertisements. This was not uLlook-
ed for by os, as he had heralded the fact some
time before hand, having made boast that he
was intending to chew Us up, pretty efectu-
ally, SO we were informed. But his chepin9
is call sound and fury, signifying nothing"
We are certainly glad to have awakened our
neigh5or to a ense OF his errors, and only
hope his convictions may lead to q thorough
reformation. Suffice it to say that an Ohio
TriJnaal has decided that the publication of
the Advertisements Of the American Art
Union. at New York (now decunc) was a
violation of the present existing statute
This Art Union was as free from the charge
oil being lottery as anything Bro. Welding
has. advertised in tho Enterprise having no
tickets, merely certificates. We refer to the
case Of "'rhs State Of Oh o vs.EF. NJ. Ellis"
Mr., L. was publisher of the Lancaster Ohio
Eag,e, and advertised the above mentioned
cart Union" On being arraigned and found
guilty OF a misdemeanor he was med one
cent and costs, because he plead ignorance Of
The law. This may be called competent au-
Mority r.......
A Iriend informs us that the Grand Jury Of
Hamilton County returned several of these
same "Gih Enterprises" they being deemed
violations of the law against lotteries. This
too is tolerably "eompetent authority" for our
assertion. ..... ..
We referred to every paper which had ad-
vertised the lottery, and'not to the Enterprise
alone, for we have as much respect for Bro.
Weliing as Tor my editor in the State.
In reference to his fling about our charg-
ing for obituary notices, we inform him that
it is a matter which concerns our own busi-
ness. Go to city papers, ard see you can
procure the insertion OF such things free of
charge. Our Wheeling cotemporares even
charge for inserting funeral notices.
The charge Of our asking competent au-
thoriiy" &c, is transparent as uir-nothing
in it whatever.
But "unkindest cut Of ALL" he refers TO the
death Of our Shanghai in light and trivial
manner Now that is too much Cor US to
bear. But he knew him not, or he never
would have spoken lhus--for
None know him but TO love him.
None named him but to praise"
Forbear Bro. from tearing agape that
wound, it bleeSs afresh We repcl all light
illusions to the noble bird, for Of him could
be said, as was spoken o: ano,her-he left
behind him
"Not one immoral, one corrupted thought,
One lue which, dying ho could wish 10 blot"

too much time to refer to the classes psrticu-

The Steam Mill in Morristown is rapidly

One more feature ia our neighbor's re plies

rnswer to our charge that there we're many
Deinocrats IN the order lie admits 1t hut says
that they are justbcginning TO see that they
were gulled, and are quietly discngaging
themselves from this "political gull ep"--
Now what q most supreney ridiculous plea
this is! How long, we ask, will 1t take a
Democrat to find out that he has been gull

commenced on the Know Nothings some
months before the last elcc tion, and gave
what he said were true expositions Of the
order. Notwithstanding these expositons
the order grew and waxed exceedingly pow
erful in very short time. Is 1t possible
that these Democrats who have been fooled

than the editor Of a Democratic paper. But
suppose, for the sake OF the argument, that
they were deceived in joining the Order,how
long wou ID II take them to find it out! Not
more :han one or two meetings, we should
think, yet last fall they hung on resolutely
u ntil after the election. How they stand
now for numbers we are not able 10 say, and
presume we will never know except as their
numerical force is revealed at the ballot box
on some future election day. or one thing,
however, we are certain, that il we were a
member Of the order we would not thank the
editor of the Gazette, or any one else for
saying that it took US two, three. or six
months, ns the case might be to find out the
principles and designs of the order.

" More'n You'll Keep."

Some years ago, an old sign painter, who
was very cross, very gruff, and-a little deaf,
was engaged to paint the Ten Commandments
on some tablets in a church not five miles from
Buffalo. He worked two days on it, and al
the close of the second day the pastor of the
church came in TO see how the work progress
ed. The old man stood by, smoking a short
pipe, as the reverend gentleman ran his eye
over the tablets.
En- = said the pastor, as his familiar eye
detected something in the wording of the holy
precepts-'why, you careless old person, you
left part of one OF the commandments entire
ly out-don't you see =
Mono such thing said the old man,
putting on his spectacles; no, nothing left out
-wherep
Why, there persisted the pastor; here
look at them in the Bible-you have left some
of the commandments out
sWeIl, what if have, said the old obsti-
nacy, as he ran his eye complacently over his
work-.what if l have1 There's great
sight more there now than..you'll keep'

ployed next day.

HOOP DRESSES. The young ladies of Buf
f1lo, have taken to wearing hoops, after the
old style. The local editor of the Republic
boasts that he accompanied handsome young
lady down the street, day or two since, but
being unable to get within four feet of her, the
conversation consisted of uninteresting scraps
of common place, conducted principally in
screams and hallos. As GROWING catastro-
phe, dog attached to tin kettle ran against
her, and could not be extricated until she
reached home. Owing to the darkness of his
situation, the dog remained quiet, but the per
sons she met were surprised by the occasional
mysterious tinkling of his kettle.

Staegers in Sheen. +,

Formerly lost sheep by this disease, until
by experiment discovered remedy which
has not failed me for many years, and think
il a safe as well as sure remedy. About
twelve years since found that nice eve of
mine, which had two fine lambs, was affected
with this disease. She was down by the
fence, at the side of the pasture, and when she
endeavored to walk or run, would stagger and
fall, and appeared to be blind. went to her.
took my knife out, cut off an ear close to the
head, and to my surprise found the blood did
not start not SO much as one drop could OBJ
tain. Thinking my sheep as good as dead, |
concluded TO try experiments upon her. ] re-
turned to my dwelling, and taking bottle OF
spirits of turpentine in my hand, went again
TO the pasture. | had been absent perhaps an
hour, but the sheep had not moved from where
left her, and there was no discharge of blood
from the ear. poured perhaps 90 drops OF
turpentine into one ear and after waiting a
few minutes turned her over, and poured the
same quantity into the other. She soon be.
gan to shake her head, and stream of blood
ran from her amputated ear. In an hour she
was apparently as well as ever. Since then
have used the same remedy, without cutting
off the ear, and have never lost sheep by the
staggers.-Rurdl Net1 Yorker

Curing Bacon without Smoke.
"Oh the trouble folks have taken
To smoke and spoil their bacon"

"Oh the trouble folks have taken
To smoke and spoil their bacon"
To smoke the best bacon, fat your hogs ear
ly and fat them we'll. By fattening early you
make great saving in food, and well fatiened
pork. Then kill as early as the weather will
allow, and salt as soon as the animal heat is
gone, with plenty of the purest salt, and
about half an ounce of saltpetre to one hun
dred pounds Of pork.
As soon as the meat is salted to your taste,
which will generally be in about five weeks,
take it out, and if any of it has been covered
with brine, let it drain little. Then take
black pepper, finely ground, and dust on the
hook end as much as will stick, then hang it
up in a good, clean, dry, airy place. If all
this is done as it should be, (it ought to be
done now,) you will have no further trouble
with it, for by fly time in spring, your bacon
is so we'll cured on the outside, that flies or
bugs will not disturb it.
Curing bacon is like the Irishman's mode OF
making punch. He said put in the sugar,
then fill it up with whiskey, and every drop
of water you put in after that spoils the punch
BUST so with curing bacon, after following the
directions given above, every drop of smoke
you put about it, spoils the bacon.-Portage

Scriptural Illustration.

In the sermon on the Mount, our Lord says,
"Whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile
90 with him twain We can all of us easily
understand the other part of this command
ment. that when struck on one cheek, we
should in humility offer the other; because,
unfortunately, we know what striking is. But
many must have wondered what can have CIV
en- rise to the command of going second mile
with the violent who has already compelled
you to go one mile. Nobody now, in this
country, is ever injured by such treatment
But we learn from coins and inscriptions that
the couriers in the service of the Roman gov
ernment had the privilege of travelling through
the provinces free of expense, and of calling
upon the villagers 10 forward their carriages
and baggage to the next town. Under des-
potic government, this becomes cruel griev-
ance. Every Roman of high rank claimed
the same privilege ; the horses were unyoked
from the plough to be harnessed to the rich
mans carriage. 1t was the most calling in
Justice which the province suffered. We have
an inscrip ption on the frontier town of Egypt
and Nubia, mentioning its petition for re-
dress of their grievance and a coin of Ner-
vas reign records its abolition in Italy. Oul
Lord could give no stronger exhortation to pa
tient humility than by advising his Syrian
hearers, instead of presenting the demand fol
one stages 'vehiculation,' to go willingly a
second stage.-Ecleftc Rerietc.

SPOILED Tunes. Rev. Thomas Hill, o
Waltham, writing on Church Music, in the
Christian Examiner says =
"Sometimes an attempt is made to alter an
air by changing the cadence to religious form.
We have recently heard tunes of this charac-
ter, from some new collections of sacred mu-
sic, popular Irish, and negro melodies; being
cut off in the last measure, and chord of the
sub-dominant introduced, as it were, to sane.
tify them. The result is, that the tunes ar,
spoiled for whisthing on ,oeek days, t0ithom be
ing rendered fit to sing on Sunday"

During the heat of the battle at German
town, while the bullets flew as hailstones, one
Bachelew, of Monmouth, was levelling 'his

ried away by ball. Undismayed, he caught
up the gun of comrade just killed BY his
side, and taking aim, bullet entered the bar
rel and twisted it around like a cork-screw.-
Still undaunted, our hero Immediately kneeled
down, unscrewed the whole lock from the
twisted musket, screwed it on to the musket
from which the lock had been torn, and blazed
away at the enemy.

The Sun Shines over All.

The Sun Shines over All.
When hope is thy heart forsaking.
Go forth in the open day,
And watch the sunbeams breaking
As the dark clouds roll away
Then mark how they tinge and brighten
Each dark spot where they fall,
And thy heart of each care will tighten,
For the sun shines over all
When thine eyes with tear-drops glisten,
And each tender chord is stirred,
Then HE to the woods and listen
To the sweet song of the bird;
And mark how he sings contented,
AS the leaves around him fall
You'll forget what you lamented,
For the sweet birds sing for all.
When all you fondly cherished
Has passed. like dream, away;
The love You clung to perished,
The friendship known decay
Seek then the woodland flowers,
They will all the past recall,
And point to happier hours,
For the bright flowers bloom for ali.
