great results that have followed ysur labors.-
We rejoice to hear Of your success in such .
noble work. Although you have already done
much good, yet the leaven has only just COM
menccd working. The fact that Anti Temper
nnce men are beginning to wake up, 10 good
omen, and soon after your next meeting We
shall expect through our excellent paper, to
hear that Echo himself will not only be among
the fools who listen to the addresses. but even
among those who sign the pledge.
"Why," says reformed drunkard, 81 used
to call the Temperance people fools. but now
find was the fool and they we're WISE
Probably this will be the opinion of Echo when
he comes to his senses. Let US hear more Of
your doings.
This is noble cause, and We would rejoice
to see such encouraging results as Elkader is
witnessing. in every part Of our land. Much
is being done here in this cause, and we expect
much more will yet be done. Dur Cold Water
Army is already some two hundred strong, aud
should the Anti-Temperance army come out
upon the field of action, just send for our Flying
Artillery and We viii hasten 10 join your band.

late assassin and suicide Of New York had been
attending prayer meetings for several days pre-
vious to the termination Of his existence, and
that he gave evidence Of being in process of

but that on the evening ofhis death he was per.
suaded or almost forced by two companions to
attend ahouse Of dissipation-he became drunk
INDUCED in all manner Of wickedness and un.
der the influence of remone and madness he
went home with the intention to kill all the
