BOWLING GREEN.

FRtEND HlGGINs Permit me, through the
columns Oi the Journal, to give a short history
of things which have transpired with US.
Dr. Everett, of VI Minsli.ld, Olio, has been with
us for two weeks past and during those two
weeks has given us fifteen Lectures on General
Education, TO crowded houses, and with uni
versal satisfaction. As lecturer he is seldom
exceled. His reasoning is sound, philosophical,
and logical. And though some of us have felt
our purses grow somewhat lighter, yet we feel
he has left, for us, instead of money, some thing of
Far greater value, much, very much valuable
information. The last Two OF his Lectures were,
BY request of the audiences, devoted to the cause
OF temperance.
During these lectures We organized temper
ance society, and on the first presentation of the
constitution nearly one hundred IN 'lnbers joined
the society, and signed the pledge of tota absti-
nence, from all intoxicating drinks as a bever-
es" Though we have organized so large So
Ci, ty, for On' but just commencing yet we did
not do it without opposition. But in face of all
opposition, We cam. off victorious, and We arc
resolved that the society, which we call the
t" Excelsior Temperance Society," shall deserve
its name.
At the close of d. Everett's lecture, the for
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted
|. Rcsolpcd. That Dr.. J. II. Everett, has his
most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the visit he
mas gwen Us ana tile Valuable and interesting
information impaired unto us,-and thathe has
our warrnest approval Of the course he has taken
BY frarlessly declaring unto us the truth, assail
i,E wrong principles and evil practices whicl
everyvherr, more or less curse society.
Rs6oiysi, Tha. too much prais- cannot Be
awarded to Mr.. Everett for the high mora grount
he occupies, both as il regards moraiity aud rr.
ligion.
3. Rfsolrcd, That the position he occupies a:
public lecture: ani phlanthropist entities hrG
TO the hearty supper! OF every community which
hc my visit. and the best regulated and mos
moral and christian community need have 1T
fears bat that his example, his influence, his sen
tim ats, in perfect harmony with the mos
cX died ideas Of morality and christianity.
/. ReSOlUsd, That we port with him with re
grel, aud that we hope he may BE- able to vis
US many times in the capacity Of lecturer OF
rig I education.
D ResolUed That we oil unite in viling Mr.
Everett, and family to become citizens with us
for WE b'irve his aid would be invaluable to u.
i'll sustaining good society, eradicating evil, an,
raising our schools TO greater and more extende,
usefulness.

eg- The Baptist congregation of this place are
endeayoring TO raise, by subscription sufficient
means to support minister. The Rev. Mr.. CAN
NON, man of very superior abilities, if we arc to
Judge from his sermons on last Sabbath, will per-
manentIy locate in this place, provided means for
his support can be raised However much we may
differ with our Baptist, Presbyterian, and Nlctho
dist friends on dOctrinal points nothing would af-
ford us more pleasure than TO sec each of their
pulpits filled, every Sabbath by men who have The
ability TO attract, interest and instruct large and
intelligent congregations The Presbytcrians now
have one of this kind OF ministers the Mctho-
dists have dwindled down TO one sermon week,
and the Baptists have been having preaching semi
occasionally, as they could get it, These facts do
not speak we'll for our people. In truth, we might
state the still more disgracelul fact, that not an
English church in the place has enough male mcm-
bers in its fold to fill its offices, and as Women's
Rights are not recognized, the worlds people "
arc the controlling power in the different organi-
cations, and there is no need for wondering that
churches longuish, and morality sckens while vices
of every description rapidly Increase. What we
need in Perrysburg Is talented and fearless preach
ers-men who know the wants of community, and
knowing dare to battle boldly with the vices
which are daily and nightly dragging into deeper
and more sinful practices the youth Of our
town. 1t is worse than folly-nay it is madness,
for any one to hope for reformation and redemp-
ton from these vices, without an array of oppo-
sing force more than ordinarily powerful There
fore, let each man who has the good of commu-
nifty at heart, not for moment Hesitate TO con-
tribute oil he can to establish every possible aid
to moral elevation. And more ; every talented
minister will attractt TO our place good citizens
men who will be Of permanent value to our TOWN.
men whose means and morals will alike aid the
growth and prosperity OF the place.
We believe Mr.. CANNON to be one Of the mon
for the times, and certainly hope that he may re
ceive that encouragement which is requisite to So
cure his services.

We learn from the St. Louis Democrat that
the Constitutional Convention had adopted a
section, by vote Of forty TO two, declaring
that "the right of property IS before and
higher than any constitutional sanctio /, and
the right Of the owners Of slave to such
slave and its increase is the same, and as in
violable rs the right of the owner of any
property whatever" The section provides
that no law shall be passed for the emancipa-
ton Of slaves without full compensation to the
owners, and that'no law shall be passed ex.
cludng emisrants with slaves from settling in
the state. During the discussion it was claim
ed by Mr.. Boiling that, according to the
bred Scott decision, "a negro was the same
kind of property as horse, box of dry
goods, or pile of lumber" But Mr.. John
Randolph took the true pro.slavery position.
He is humane man, and cannot think, with
out horror, of dealing in human flesh and
blood but he does not believe that a negro
is human. He contends that he is species
Of Ape whose tail has been accidentally rub =
bed off. OF course he has no scrupes about
buying and selling Apes.-Biade.

T'lae Beet Contest.

The Clermont Courier boasts Of having re
ceved a beet which weighs nine pounds aud
six ounces. The Ohio STATE Journal thinks he
has the largest one, as it measured ? feet ) inch
es in length and weighed. when first pulled, Is
pounds. The editor says " it is really curosi-
ty in the way of beets." These don't brgin
with the beets left with us by F. Hollcnb ck,
Esq, one of which measured feet AMI 10 inch
es in length and the other 2 feet anl 10 inches
in circumference at the largest end-the latter
weighing just 20 pounds. Wood county is yet
ahead. Our Cermont Courier friend should
never again boast over d beet weighing only nine
pounds and the editor of the Journal should
always wait until he hears from Wood county
before he brags over large vegetables unless he
qualities it By saying " they nre larger. than can
ba grown outside of Wood county = We have
the soil here to DO ii with, gentlemen, and no
mistyka.

RATHER APPRoPaIArE.--rwo of oar business
men had occasion, few days since, to make short
trip to the country west of this place Knowing that
their friends Dr. Peck and w. V. Way, Esd had
laid out a village, under the euphonious title of
Tontogany somewhere in the neghborhoOd of
their perambulalionS, they concluded TO examine
the site, if not purchase a few corner lots. They
finally met an honest countryman and inquired the
direction to Toutognny. The interro CATION aston
ishcd the man to whom it WAS directed, and after
scratching his head aud collecting his thoughts
very carefully, our friends were inrornel that no
such place hal ever been heard of "th,s, dig
gins" Many inquiries followed, but no m-orma-
ton could be obtained about Tontog,uy, Al
length, just as our townsmea were abou. to drive
of in di5pajr thinking they had taken the wrong
direction, the couutenance Of the ccuntryman
frightened up--a new thought had evidently fit
ted across his mind-and he exclaiuc,I--" o yoa

what you meant by Tontogany."
