The Emancipation Celebration,

The Emancipation celebration on the ap-
preaching LIST OF January, bids fair to be car
ried out in spirit and with degree of dig
nifty worthy of the occasion. An able COM
mittee have the matter in charge, and we hope
to be allowed to publish their programme in
full as early as Tuesday morning next.
We learn that il has been decided TO have
the bells of the city rung, morning, noon and
night, accompanied by a national salute of
thirty-flve guns at noon--ending at II o'clock.
At the close of the salute appropriate cxer-
cises will be held in the City Hall, which will
probably be decorated with flags and mottos
Judge Davis will preside, assisted by numer-
Gus Vice Presidents. The exercises will con-
sist Of Prayer by the Chaplain for the occa-
sion-Rev. DIR. Dwight-Reading of the Proc
lamation of Emancipation, Grafton by Rev.
Horatio Stebbns, and appropriate quartette
singing under the lead of Mr. John L. Shaw,
and martial music by the Band at Camp
Berry We have no room to speak more at
length Of the affair to-day, but we adyis our
readers that rich entertainment is In store,
to which all will do well to give an hour and
half's attention.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Win you allow me 10 say word in your
columns in regard to the practice Of furnishing
wines for those who call on their friends on
New Years day? As l would not offend nor
denounce any one, l trust q friendly admoni-
ton may be kindly received.
Iwould appeal principally to the ladies of
our city. You cannot be unaware of the fact
that intemperance is increasing slarmingly in
our community, especially among our young
men. You know, by observation, how easy 1t
is TO form the habit,-how hard to break it.
Are you willing to take the responsibility Of
Turing any one into the downward road? Re-
member one year ago. Many young man
will perhaps, take his first lesson in excessive
drinking on Friday next. Shall he receive the
glass from your hands?
know that you have done it from feelings
of poteness, and desire to please. But this
only makes 1t the more difficult to decline the
profferod glass, and thus increase the tempta-
ton and the danger. Did 1t come from other
hands or at other times, 1t might be resisted.
nut tut pOiitcucSs tndt INITIATES tuc ohci cccins
to render it impolite to receive 1t. Therefore,
the snare Is all the more fatal.
Nor need you fear that it will be regarded
as discourteous not to furnish wines on that
occasion. There is no gentleman who will
not approve of it. Many will rejoice over 1t |;
and those who sometimes partake of a social
glass, on other occasions, will be glad that
they are not on this day compelled SO often to
refuse 1t, or to take 1t when they do not want
1t. Let the good example be set In our wealth
Ter families, and the practice be given up, and
all will be the happier as the day closes. There
is no other way to prevent this new social GUS
tom, which might be SO delightful, and produc-
tive of so much good, from becoming curse
and scourge.
Some Of you are members of Christian
churches. l know you would not consciously
do anything inconsistent with yourprofession.
You certainly cannot wish, by your example,
by your temptations even, to be the means Of
running the young. DO not think me harsh II
remind you of the wo which the Bible de-
nounces against "him who putteth the bottle
to his neighbor's lips" have seen enough to
make me feel deeply on this subject. And
have no doubt there are large numbers Of our
people who entertain the same views, of whom
am only ONE.
