N{y@It is now violation of the laws of
Wisconsin for minors to frequent saloons,
or billiard rooms, and drink or play games
of cards or billiards. Owners Of such sa-
looms who permit boys under twenty-one
to loaf or drink or play about the premises
are liable to the penalties Of the law. This
law was passed at the recent session Of
our legislature. 1t is a most excellent
law, and we hope it will be strictly en-
forced Many boys are rushing to their
ruin through these dram shop gates which
cape as wide as the mouth of hell. Let
them be kept away at least until they shall
have developed firmness enough to restrain
their appetites, and brains enough to avoid
the willy snares of the destroyer.

q Z A PRAYER FOR REST.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither the void,
And We, o lord, have wandered from thy fold;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggIer from the scattered nocKs'
But evening brings us home.
The sharp thorns prick u.s. and our tender ieet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their ptiful complaints-0, rest - sweet
When evening brings US home
wehave been wounded by the hunters darts,
Our eyes are Yery heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy Sofnin g-when the light departs,
At evening, brings US homel
The darkness gathers. Through the gloom no star
Rises to guide us We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp we know not where we are
At evening bring us homel
The clouds are round u.s. and the snow-drifts thcken,
o thou, dear Shepherd, leave rs not to scken
La the waste night-our tardy footsteps quicken
At evening bring us homei

Firing had ceased, except few pops from
some skirmishers of the Goth, who, deter
mined to have the last word, had passed us,
and gone down the slope after the fleeing
French. 1t must have been prudence
bought by sore experience that, at such a
moment, could make some of our old officers
say, as heard them say, gravely shaking
their heads: son, this is not right! Don't
you remember in the Peninsula, at and
-, how the beggars came back when we
made sure they were done! They'll be
upon US again in the dark; the men should
be kept together, and ready.
But there was no need; they never came
back. The fight was over, and we were
the victors

"A very singular termination has just
been reached in st. Louis Court in case
where Mrs. Kerrigan, having been In
jured by being run over by car of the st.
Louis Railroad company, and dying of her
injuries, her husband sued the company,
claiming large amount of damages for the
loss of his better half During the pro-
gress of the trial in Judge Moody's Court,
on Saturday, it was proved that at the time
of her death Mrs. Kerrigan had husband
besides the plaintiff-that, in fact, the
Plaintiff was not her legal husband, and
therefore not entitled to damages for her
loss. Verdict for the defendent.
The Great Darlington Courier says
There are now living in good health in
Monterey an aged couple-Mr. James Free
man and his wife-whose united ages are
III years, Mr.. Freeman being 88 and his
wife So years old. They have been married
81 years, and have resided where they now
are for the last SO years. Mr.. Freeman has
voted the democratic ticket at every state
and national election since his majority,
and since he was five years old has not had
a single fit of sickness. Who of us, with
our wives, shall, like this aged couple, live
to see Is presidents Of the United States in
augurated and serve their term Of office?
The New York Express learns of recent
case of infanticide, almost too horrible to
record. The name of the criminal, from
policy, is kept secret at present. Five days
since, well-dressed man procured nurse
to attend the accouchment of young
woman, and, after the child was born, he
threw it into the fire, roasting it to death.
He drew pistol and threatened to shoot
the nurse if she disclosed the affair. The
nurse was then placed in carriage and
driven by circuitous route to her home.
where she has been so i'll as to be unable to
communicate the facts to her priest until @
day or two since. The priest laid the case
before the police. s.,s4 ,r
Further inquiry goes to show that the
reputed murderer of the Joyce children, in
Massachusetts,, is Charles A. Dodge, an
adopted son of a worthy couple, Aaron
Dodge and wife, of Hamilton, Essex coun7
ty, Mass. OF his parentage nothing is
known, except that he came from an orphan
asylum. From Mr. Dodge's account of the
boy, he was kind hearted, shiftless fellow,
who spent most of his youth at sea. Hus-
band and wife are much troubled by the
charges against their adopted son, and ex-
press the belief that, if he committed the,
foul deed attributed to him, he must have
done it under an alteration Of mind. Many
papers express, the belief that much Of ithef
testimony against him is made up by the
detectives to get the reward offered.

u0y A. &. CURTIN.

Wehave al ways considered Governor Curtin
as one of the most popular men Of our State,
but were happily surprised at the enthusiasm
which greeted the mention of his name in the
late State Convention. When the resolution
complimenting his course was read, it was
greeted with such cheers and applause as has
not been given to many of his predecessors.
The words "Sodier's Friend" called forth
renewed applause, and from the floor to the
gallery, and the gallery to the rotunda, stamp
ing of feet, clapping ofhands, waving of hats,
and the most vociferous cheers, attested the
love of the people. for the noble man who has
conducted the affairs of the State through the
terrible war. The eability, self-sacrifcing pat
riotism, and moral heroism displayed have
made his name as familiar as "household
words" in every loyal home Of the Northern
States. Although suffering acute physical
pain during most of his administration from
disease which has not yet been conquered
his presence on many a battlefield cheered
! the wounded, comforted the dying, and gained
/ Tor him Sucl love from tRe nODle pflNaLeS OF
our army as was given to no other one man.
/ His administration has truly been for the pco-
ple-their interests his first concern and theil
happiness and prosperity the end for which
he labored. The finances of the State, not
withstauding the increased expenditures con-
sequent upon the war, have been managed
with such judgment and honesty, that at the
end Of six years administration of the ex-
ecutive power, the State is enabled to throw
off the tax upon real estate. He well deserves
the eulogy pronounced so unanimously by the
people of the State in their Convention, anC
truly have they said that when his term o.
honorable, useful, and most beneficial service
shall close, he shall not be forgotten, but
honor, love, afectionate remembrance ant
the plaudits of grateful people shall cluster
around his person, and make his name mem
orable.

A Town without a GrOgsIlop

The Meadville Republican, or late date
contains the following:
"The new town of Reno, Venango county,
which has sprung up within few months,
and VI hich exhibits substantial growth rarely
witnessed iu new places, has some peculiari-
ties which tend to make it a model. By the
terms of the contracts for either the sale or
lease of lots, the purchasers or lessees are
prohibited from selling or permitting the sale
of intoxicating drinks as beverage on the
premises, and violation of this clause of the
contract works forfeiture of the ownership
or occupancy of the premises. 1t is the de-
termination of the founders of the town to
exclude the rum traffic from its limits, and
they have taken the most effectual way to
render the prohibition permanent ard secure
Only think ofit-a town without a grogshopl |
1t deserves to be a success, if for no other
reason than this"
Hon. GALUsHA A. Grow, of "Homestead"
fame, is President of the Company owning
these lands, and this action is consistent with
his past record. 1t has often been urged that
the friends of human freedom were naturally
the friends of temperance that "Jnstjce to
| the negro" was twin brother to ''nercy to the
white man," and this is practical demon
strait ion of the proposition, for Mr.. Grow has
long been the eloquent and unqualified advo-
cate of that tardy Justice which at last came
through carnage and blood. He deserves not
only the praise but the gratitude of all for
this firm and effective and advocacy of the
right-it does honor to his manhood, and
IN, +ba rnoOr5 of
whose brightness will increase with the pas
sage Of time.-ContraS with the above the
| following from a Bellefonte paper:
! Mr.. Joseph Ralston, of Phillipsburgh.
! Centre county, met with horrible death by
| freezing a few days ago. He had been drink
ing freely, and had, while drunk, endeavore6
| to wade the Moshannon creek, but ere he had
proceeded two-thirds across his limbs refused
to perform their office. He grasped a bough
of an oyerhaEging tree, unable to advance any
further, and soon the fast cOngealing water
cemented close about him a tomb of ice
which stretched from shore to shore. Two
days after this he was found standing there
rigid as an icicle his knees imbedded in a
sheet of the frozen element seven inches thick,
his body inclined a little forward, hands
clutching the boughs, eyes astare, and despair
pictured on his features"
1t does not say that any one was arrested
for this murder, and we presume there was
not, but had the person who sold the poor
wretch the diluted poison, sold it to him in
its pure state, how quickly the mornI sense of
the community would have been aroused and
how speedy would have been bis arrest and
trial. 80, consistency, thou art 8 jewel !"

In the Knoxville Whig, says: "Theparty

tionists, and as faction composes taco-
thirds of both houses, ard they are the
representatives of large majorities in all
the loyal states, who will stand by them,
even in conflict with the President, and
the newborn friends, galvanized loyaiists,

out from the White House all the tried
loyalists of the cuuntry. If the people
ever did plant themselves firmly 90 any
platform, it is on the platform ROW occu-

constituting the majority in the present

survive or perish, we risk our live, our
fortune, and our sacred honor on board

night. The unequal fight was CALAMITY
accepted, and though the command
was at first thrown into some dis

only repulsed, but drove from the field

pronounces toe most gallant and success,
ful charge that has come to his knoWl-
edge during the war.
In his official report of this battle
General Hooker says: "During these
operations a heavy musketfy fire, with
rapid discharges of artillery, continued tt

that formidable adversary had gathered
around him and that he was battering hin
