Colporteur's Report for Cumberland
County.

In making my first Quarterly Report,
owing to my inexperience in the work,
and the unusual severity of the weather, |
have not very many facts from which to
form an interesting statement.
| commenced my work with fear and
trembling, but at the same time, with Il
reliance upon Gods grace to make my ef-
forts result in good. Since the 1Gth OF
December, | have visited 303 families
prayed or converscd with 293 on the sub
ject of personal religion, and found 81
families babitu lily neglecting the worship
of God. Some of them have been 20
Church once in twelve months, and others
from FIVE to twenty years and they all
live In one or one and a half miles of
Churches where there are services every
Sabbath. | found 81 families dcs' tute
of the Bible, 66 destitute of all eligious
books except the Bible. These families
/ have furnished with books and tracts
and l hope with the blessings of God,
they may accomplish much good. have
addressed three public meetings and
have sold books to the amount Of 81 II.
! have distributed gratuitously, b94eS and
all S1l3 81 which have been circulated
in printed religious tracts, amounting IN
al to some 10000 pages. My labors have
been principally about Fayetteville, with
the exception Of two of the Cotton Fac
tory Villages. BY the assistance Of others
| have established two Sunday Schools
numbering $50 pupils. have visited
one of the Schools since they were opened
and found about one hundred persons, in
Guiding Teachers, engaged therein.
There has been donation Of S25 to
the Society by one gentleman, who also
presented the humble Colporteur with the
same amount, which was than <fully receiy-
ed, for ga friend in need is friend in
deed" There have been two other dona-
tions to the Society, one Of So and one Of
So, making in all given to the Society,

done in this community and L believe
the people are willing it should be done.

ness wherever | have been and there Is
an undoubted awakening of interest III
the community on the subject The
books, and especially the tracts, are receiv

Drunkenness.

IT makes me sick to see drunken
man. If there is a sight under heaven
that is more sickening than drunken
man, | know not what it is. Look at his
house; its roof is rotten; its posts and
rafters sprung and gone to rack; It's
under-pinning decayed and lying fat on
the ground and the whole fabric hor-
ribly weather-beaten and covered with
moss. This, with the thought, that a
number Of small children thinly clad,
with mother almost worn out with
trouble, live there, is enough to make a
man sick at heart. But this is merely
the beginning. Look at the man; he
is going home from the village, every
side of the road is his, and part Of the
woods he has lost his hat and scratched
his face in the briers. But on he goes;
down he comes in the mud, turns over
and loses his shoe, scrapes and looks
for it, but can't get to it he again
proceeds-takes chew of tobacco to
keep his mouth in notion-the amber
soon begins to ooze out at each corner
of his mouth, and runs down his neck,
into his bosom. Hear him, as he goes,
cursing and swearing enough to shame
the devil, who looks at him at a dis
tance: but he arrives at home /; can't
find the gate; falls over the fence; his
wife and children come and drag him
in the house and here, almost ejecting
up his entrails, we turn from the scene,
sick indeed. This is why it makes me
sick to see drunken man. 1t is said
that dog will not bite man when he
is drunk; no doubt the sight turns his
stomach; it is no wonder, then, that it
should make man sick. w. d.

Death OF AN OLD SOLDIER.
John L. Hays, an old citizen of this place,
and asoldier of the war 1912, died on Thurs
day last, and was buried with military hon
ors on Saturday. Sergeant Hays was born
on the day Of the battle of Lexington, and
was consequently S5 years of age. He
was the son of the celebrated Molly Pitch
er, who distinguished herself at the battle
of Monmouth, and of whom Headly, in
his life of Washington, gives the follow
ing account;
g It was during this part of the battle,
when Gen. Lee was struggling nobly
against the overwhelming numbers that
pressed on him that an Irishman while
serving his gun, was shot down. His
wife, named Molly, only twoaasy two years
of age, employed herself, while he loaded
and fired his piece, in bringing water from
spring near by. While returning with
supply she saw him fall, and heard the
officer in command order the gun to be ta-
ken to the rear She Immediately ran
forward, seized the rammer, declaring that
she would avenge his death She fought
her piece like hero to the last. The
J next morning Greene, who had been
struck with her bravery, presented her to
Washington, who Immediately promoted
her to sergeant, and afterwards had hel
: put on the half-pay list for life. Previous
: to this she fired the last gun when the
= Americans were driven from Fort Mont
3 gomery.'
At the close of the revolution she tool
:. up her residence in Carlisle, where sh
was known as Molly McCauley. She live
|, to an advanced age, and was buried witt

last, as the freight train was leaving Thom-

the brakeman, Mr.. ALLEN, who had been
coupling the cars, accidently fell on the
track and had one of his legs crushed by
the moving train in most shocking man
ner. A surgeon was Immediately called
and the fractured limb amputated, but the
injuries sustained were of such serious
character as to leave no hope of recovery.
He fingered in great suffering until Satur-
day morning when he died.-,Sais. Ban.

The committee Of the n. Y. Legislature to
whom was referred the petitions for woman's
rights have submitted ludicrous and sar-
castle report against the rights prayed for.
They submit that the ladies are always favor
ed with the choicest morsels at table, the
best seats in travelling, the warmest situation,
in winter and the coolest in summer. Their
dress costs three times as much as that of
men, and with the prevailing fashion they
occupy three times as much room. The com
mittee are therefore of opinion that the males
have the greatest cause to seek for redress,
and content themselves by recommending
that where both husbands and wives have
signed the petitions the parties be advised tc
apply for a law to exchange their dresses
that they may thus indicate the true relation
III which they stand to each other. The re-
port twas almost unanimously agreed to. II
this treatment does not discourage the strong
minded women in their annual appeals tx
the Legislature, it is difficult to say what will
for they have shown that they will not take
a plain and serious No for an answer.
