CITY INTELLIGENCE.


A special meeting of the Club is called tonight
tonight, remember, not tomorrow, nor next day
night, but to-night--at the Club Room, Island
Hall. The Executive Committee have matters OF
importance to lay before the Club. They consider
that there is no use in Club, unless the Club Ia
used, and used rightly. They are not disposed to
let the Club break their own heads but rather the
heads of their enemies. In order that this Club
may strike effectively, it is necessary that all its
members should lend their strength to give eftica-
CIV to the blow. If they do not their own heads
may be broken. The Club is prepared 10 strike,
Is determined TO strike blow for Fillmore and
Donelson that shall make the buccaneering flibus-
ters quail, and cause the Woolly Horse" to fly
the course for parts unknown. Come, then, one
and all Come all who are friendly to the Amer
lean cause Strangers In the city are invited TO
come and fraternize with its members.
REoHABITRs The cause of Temperance, there
Is great reason TO fear is declining In Washington
The Sons of Temperance and the Independent Or
der of Rechabites do not now exercise so potent
an influence as in times past, for good. The cause
of Temperance is a noble one, and should enlist
the sympathy and call forth the active cooperation
of all good men, and women, too. Thousands
have, through the fundamentally of the above
named institution, been redeemed from a living
DEATH and restored to life of usefulness and hon
or. Husbands have been restored to their wives,
fathers to their children whole families have been
made happy In the restoration Of Il parent bless
ings have followed the footsteps of their members,
broken hearts have been healed, infant voices
have hsped their gratitude, and called down bless
ings on their heads. Their own hearts have been
made to leap with joy at the happy results of their
labors. Why should they intermit them, or grow
cold and lukewarn?
There is on the Island, Juvenile Order Of
Rechabites. They have existed for many years.
