The Temperance Cause.

Henry Chance alias the Buckeye
Broad axe, has just closed series of
lectures on the subject of Temperance in
this place. Although he has been speak
ing some eight or nine days and evenings,
the deep interest that was manifest in the
beginning did not abate in the least. but
seemed to increase with each successive
lecture, until no house in our village could
be found of sufficient capacity to acc ON
modate the hundreds Of anxious listeners
that nightly assembled as if unwilling to
loose a word uttered by the speaker.
Mr.. G. is truly one of natures orators,
and perfec! master of the subject OF tenn.
perance, as is clearly indicated by the
great enthusiasm he always inspires in
his enraptured audience. His style,
although he belongs to the clerical profess
sion, is not adapted to funeral occasions,
but seems to be suited with almost won
derful fitness to the temperance platform.
His speeches present the greatest combi.
nation of opposite qualities and peculari.
ties we have ever witnessed in any one
individual. Ia fact they are a perfect
mixture of fun and logic, Of gentleness and
fury Of love and hate. of burlesque and
pathos. and present every extreme known
to the pulpit and the stage. At one mo-
ment he assumes the dialect and appear.
ance of down east Jonathan and in
the next breath he is the perfect persona
fication of city dandy or the very en-
bodimenl of cultivation and refinement
He is perfectly at home whether he
employs the vernaculor of Mohawk
Dutchman, or assumes the dignity of a
prince. AT one moment with plaintive
strains he portrays the sufFerings of the
wretched victims of vice, until he touches
chord of sympathy in his audience, that
is answered only in tears, anon he reaches
away TO the thunders home of Justice,
and seems TO seize bolt charged with
dreadful indignation and hurls it with
giant strength into the camp Of the rum
seller, that lays his victim writhing at hi.

EF When Machaoni the Greek Phys
ician was slain, Homer said of him, "a
good Physician is worth as much as a
whole army" Then a good medicine
like AYERS CATHART1c Pills, is worth
great deal more, because it cures as
well, works wider, and lasts longer. The
circle of the best Physicians labor must
be narrow, while such q remedy is avail
able TO all--caa be had, by everybody
and is worth having. 81, s. Il

EST NE VS..
Thirty-F Fifth Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-SENATE.-
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HoUsE.-Mr. Howard called attention
to the fact that the bill before the Com
mittee Of the Whole on the state of the
Union, providing for the supply of the
deficiency in the appropriation for print
ing,had not yet been discharged, but that
the debate was devoted to general sub
jects.
He complains that the axes furnished
by the Bureau of Construction have pro-
we'd SO miserable as to considerably delay
the party in cutting their was through
the forests.
That bill has grown out of abuses,
which, if suffered to continue, will bank
rupt the Treasury; yet not single mem
Der OF the committee of ways and means
or of the printing committee has been able
to get the floor to discuss the provisions
OF the bill, in order to bring out what has
: led to system of abuses which all
sought to unite in, in order to give the
matter full investigation.
If they devote this day to the country
by thoroughly probing this subject, their
constituents will forgive them for all the
time therefore, wasted in speaking of the In
dams Mormons, Kansas and for buncombe
generally. Laughter He offered a
resolution for extending the debate on
the bill tomorrow, and combining the
speeches strictly to the subject.
Mr.. John .Cochrange objected, for the
simple reason that it was now too late to
insist on such course, the Committee of
the Whole having yesterdy distinctly re-
fused to enforce the rule.
Further proceeding on this subject
were terminated by the House going into
committe on the printing of the deficiency
bill.
Mr.. Burnett was proceeding to discuss
the printing question, when Mr. Green
wood sportively raised the point as to
whether Mr.. Burnett was in order as he
was combining himself to the subject under
consideration.
The Chairman decided that Mr.. Bur-
nett was in order.
