quent acts were deliberate before the mortal

Officers Scroggins and Wickham coming along
demanded to know whether the gentlemen had

negatively answered, the officers quietly drag

~ The Reu. 4Ar. Hunt, OF Pa, delivered
a lecture last night at Washington Hall on Ten.
pcrance. The attendance was large. He spoke
about an hour, and commanded an attentive
interest throughout. lie lectured in this city
some years ago, and is therefore known to many
of our citizens. 1t seems that he comes this
time upon invitation, the object being to assist
in inaugurating reform to the presentacknowl.
edged increase in the use of Intoxicating drinks.
We have pretty full notes of the lecture be,
fore us, but we have space only for point or
two. In speaking of the kind of liquor that is
now made and sold, he said that for years he
had been engaged in analyzing its elements and
ingredients, and that he could truthfuIly say to
his audience that he would not now, morals
aside, drink one glass of any brandy, wine,
whisky, ale or beer, known to him, for the best
farm in the State of Yirginir.s It's ingredients,
on his solemn assertion, were deadly poison
The adultcration Of liquor was appalling, and
was destroying the heath of people by whole
sale. He believed that if there was, one lower
deep in hell, deeper than the rest, it was that
