more of the doings of the old gentle
man, King Alcohol.
Probably the most remarkable temperance
lecture ever delivered was that by DR.. Crane q

and pest ridden Twelfth Ward of Brooklyn, not n
solitary one of the five hundred members of the

attacked by cholera" Mr. Acton cllnched this
remark by adding that not cholera case had yet
occurred among the sixteen thousand members of
the Father Mathew Society in the city of New
York. Comment is unnecessary.

from the door, fired several shots in the direction
of Wilson's grocery On Saturday several per

Jerry Lewellen, got into quarrel and were fight
Ing and quarreling half of the afternoon; during
the time one man by the name of Jones, wht
