I. .. G. n.
This Order is is going ahead most beau
tifully at this point. We are informed that
twelve were initiated on Saturday evening
last and that there arc yet twenty five APP
plications in the hands of the Secretary
awaiting action. In three meetings Fifty
one members have been enrolled and, in
Guiding the applications now before the
Lodge, there are seventysiX Good Temp
lars in McGrcgor. Verify this is a rapid
advance and we hope to hear of such future
progress as will make ALCOHOL himself
see "snakes in his boots"
Will the Templars allow us to suggest
that "moral suasion" is their best weapon ;
above all things the members should avoid
the use of unfriendly language towards
those who do not yet see the necessity OF
reform Good, kind coaxing and purity of
example will win a host to your ranks
where crossncss and fault-finding will up
set all the bright prospects of the Order
Since the days of mans earliest history hui
man beings have entertained an unconquer-
able hatred to compassion.

LOVE AND CHEsrNUrs.-A Philadelphia
paper says that an old gentleman Of sixty
attempted to make love to pretty little
Italian vender of hot chestnuts. She seized
a PAINFUL of her merchandise piping hot
from the oven and threw at his head; in
bending, to avoid the charge some of the
chestnuts Travelled behind his shirt collar
thence down his spinal column to the
roomy portion of his pants and-he left,
with stern resolve to let young maidens
alone hereafter.

FRENcn.-As our paper was ready for
the press, A. FRENCH handed in an adyer-
tisement detailing the late arrival of most
magnificent assortment Of all the beautiful
things belonging to aJewelry establishment.
We have not had time to examine the new
stock, but from the programme presented,
we conclude that McGregor never saw any
thing like it before Oh! how the heart OF
that young lady you worship would soften,
if one Of FREscn's sets of Jewelry were
presented to her. Ladies who desire to sec
the last of bachelor FRENCH, must visit him
very soon-he is ''rumored" to be as good
as lost to the society of ladies generally.

CEDAR VALLEY NEws.-We are in re-
ceipt of No l. Vols of the Ne,cs just re-
vived by Reynolds & Babcock. Edited by
Geo. NJ Reynolds late of Pennsylvania; as
sisted by d. A. Babcock, its late Editor and
Proprietor. The News is elegantly printed
in small letter and presents an appearance
both typical and tastful that will at once
commend it to the public favor. The News
is Republican in politics but from the ability
Of Mr.. RS Introductory we conclude he
has too much sense to mistake rhodomantade
for argument and VIC therefore wish our
contempory abundant success. Strong
Wilmot Proviso or "Phil. Platform ground
is the creed of the new paper.-Our admi-
ration for che mechanical skill and the evi
dences of editorial industry displayed il
the columns of the News makes us forget
that it has politics which we cannot en-
dorse. Bradford should be proud of he,

Hops.
On Friday evening last the first Of a
series Of ''IIops" came off at the hall of
the American House. LEARSED's Band
did the Music. and the rest of us went in
on the fantastic toe" If these wasn't
beautiful time we don't know anything
about such amusements. We unhesitat-
ingly assert that Learned's Horn, Williams
Harp and Hicks Violin can make better
music and more of it than any company of
equal numbers in America. 1t is the uni
versal expression of those who are dancing,
what excellent time" "What glorious
music GLOW distinct the calling" &c. &c.
This Band can play good enough to draw
all the dance out of human being in one
winter, and leave him clear conscience in
the spring.

what follows: j. II. HoYr, IS East Water

BILLIARDS. In the Press of last week
"Three Ladies Of McGregor" sign an arti-
Gle requesting Fay & Feren to change their
Billiard visitors from male to female. We
fear that move of that kind would lead to
a revolution among the married men and
the death of the single ones--the former
would miss their wives during the long win
ter evenings, and the latter would die Of
admiration at the sight of beauty handling
