Nh. JoHN B. GoUGH has been in Great Britain
nearly three years, and expects to return to this
country during the, coming August. We learn from
the London Record that he has delivered seventy
five of his powerful addresses in the provinces,
fourteen in Exter Hall and in the theatres halls
and chapels in London, during the past year. In
the provinces it is estimated that over 1000 have
listened to his arguments and appeals, and over
1000 have signed the pledge OF total abstinence;
while in London he had addressed upward of 80, 900
persons, and 10000 names havee added to the
pledge-book Of the meeting besides large numbers
atterward This the result of one years labor,
and does not exceed that of the two preceding years
short time since he delivered five addresses
in Exeter Hall, London, in one week, to very
crowded audiences, making in all 90 lectures
which he has given in tnat place. He has
already accepted more than 200 invitations to lee
ture 10 America after his return. He health holds
remarkably good under these repeated exertions.
and he declares himself determined to battle the
evil intemperance so long as he shall live.

woman, uttering piercing Shrek fell at her hus-
bands feet and begged his forgiveness for her cruel
desertion. while her guilty paramour. after two or

was TO be unmoested, the husbands only desire

into tears and begged them not to kill him, as he
