Resolued, That we look with pleas
ure upon the great increase of mems

"Resolred, That the Good Templars
of Grant County recognize in the
Witness an efficient co>laborer, altho'
a paper not specially devoted to tens
perance matters, yet speaking out in
reference to that great iniquity the
rum traffic in trumpet tones that give
no uncertain SOUND"
"ResoIved, That the Witness, in re
fusing to join in the hue and cry
against prohibition set up by the Chi.
cago Tribune and satellites nearer
home, merits our warmest approba-
ton, and we hereby recommend i as
family newspaper, that parent and
guardians may safely put in the
hands of the rising gegeration, and
worthy place in every household in

"Res0lued, That the time has fully
come when the urgent needs of our

and christian in the great and i'm
pressible conflict in which we are en-
gagged"
Resoloed, That this Convention

A PAPER FOR BEECHER.-TheN Now
York correspondent of the Syracuse
Journal says there has been consider
able talk of starting a new religious
paper in the metropolis, under the
editorial management of Mr.. Bcecher.
The scheme is, to create journal
which shall represent the highest re-
ligious and intellectual culture Of the
age, Journal which all denomina-
tions of Christians could heartily sup
port. The moment he says he is
ready, tho capital, to the amount OF
$3.50, 900, VIII be forthcoming, and as
much more as may be necessary. 1t
is not probable, however, that it will
be started at present.

prayer and reading Of the Scriptures

other with familiarity out Of place
in the parlor, and doubly SO in the
house of God. Sometimes one or
two seem to get into a temporary

of reconciliation, with it's billing and
cooling and glancing, and final resto-

GcA.Jcf Davis seems to be having a
good time among the Canucls The
Baltimore Gazette, democra tic or
gan, still faithful to the 'lost cause, .
has a correspondent with him, who
gives glowing accounts of the honors
paid "the President" as he calls the
late leader Of the rebellion. Some
times, instead Of that term, he speaks
of Davis as sour gallant and noble
chief" or as the victim Of oppression
and tyranny. He says that six or
seven thousand people waited at til e
wharf in toronto to greet Davis on
his arrival there. "a large party o t
confederates and Canadians" accom-
panied him to Niagara, where nearly
the whole population turned out to
greet him. A band gave him ssra-
made, playing 'Dixie and the Bon>
ME Blue Flag" The Gazette's cor
respondent attributes these atten-
tons as partly impelled by curiosi ty
to see one so widely known to fame,
and partly to desire to show their
disapprobation of his "cruel and bru-
tai treatment by the enemy after he
fell into their power" 1t is not Of
ten that man guilty of high trea-
son, and by the law of his country
subject to capital punishment, is by
that country permitted to travel
abroad and be lionizcd by its enemies,
as victim of it's cruelty and brutal
tv.

ADVICE TO PARENTS.

Never punish a child when you
are angry. Wait till your anger is
cooled, If you punish in passion,
you are but rousing bad passion in
return. You are souring your ohild's
temper, and hardening his young
heart. We greatly increase the
need Of punishment by furnishing
too often, and by dealing out the
same correction for small offences as
for great. You thus weaken your
child's sense of justice. Your child
may have broken o dish, or injured
some article Of furniture, though an
accident, or he may have done so in
wanton disobedience. The loss is
the same. and the trouble is the same,
but the offense is widely different,
and the punishment ought not to be
the same. Never mistake an acci-
dent for faplt, and never forget that
the true secret of parents sway
over the mind and conduct of their
children is love.
fparents are loving and thoughts
full toward their children, they will
generally meet with love and obedi-
ence in return. We shall generally
reap according to the seeds of un--
kindness, we shall mostly reap their
bitter fruits. If we sow the sweet
seeds of kindness and tenderness,
with Gods blessing, we shall gather
the dutitul fruits of love and obedi-
ence.
1t is never too soon to begin to
sow the seeds of love. Begin at once.
Even the little babe on your lap
knows the difference between a low
ing smile and an unloving look,
when it turns from its mothers boz
som to the face bending over it. The
smile of love is soon answered by
baby's own smile. Love for love =
smile for smile.
Parents these things are no tri.
1es. The secret Of your authority
and of your children's obedience, is
love, and the secret of your love
ought to be the knowledge Of
God oflove who has given us the
two>fold exhortauion. "Children obey
your parents Parents, provoke not
your children to wrath"

Gg- The New York World relates


q pathetic story, intended doubtless
to harrow up the tender sensibilities
of It's Democratic readers. The pur-
port of it is that the colored popula-
ton of Richmond so engross the in,
dustry of that city that a white boy
who sought the place of waiter could
find no vacancy whatever, and has
the pleasant prospect before him OF
starving to death. In another col
um of the aOorld, however, is a state.
mcnt that the negro population will
not work, but in preference beg or
starvc would it not be better to
tell the truth entire, that some me-
grocs are like white people, so intern
ally lazy as to be worthless; and
some so acquisitivo and Industrious
as to be over-industrious and saving.
The fact is, reader, tho old aboli>
ton sayings that blacks are very
much like whites is as true now as
ever.

Montgomery Blair is stumping Vir-
ginia in hehalf of Democracy, and in a
late speech accused the Republicans of
being the only party that ever existed
in this country that did not at heart
profess to act in Difference to the Con-
s.itution. We beg leaveto inform Mr..
Blair, chimes in the N. Y. Tribune, that
the Republican party has done more to
preserve the Constitution than all the
other parties combined that had it
not been for Republican energy and
wisdem he would not now have a
Constitution to talk about. Where
would the Constitution be if the Demo-
cratic party had been intrusted with
its care ? Probably in some old paper
shop. We have noticed that the noise
about the violation of the Constitution
generally comes from themen who did
the most to destroy or the least to pr,-
serve it The Rebels who adjured it,

with the drawn sword, are now eager 10

Table Rock No Longer IN FxjStene~ ~.
Destruction by Blastiag.
Special Correspondence Of Pitts. comu,e.rc,a,,

NIAGARA FALLS, July "a, 1867.
The tar-iamed Table Rock, ON the
Canada side of Niagara Falls, which
has excited the admiration of thousands,
from all parts of the world, and from
which multitudes have gazed on this
masterpiece of Natures wonders, is no
longer in existence. 1t was atonetime
an extensive platform, jutting far out
over the water below the falls. Por-
tions have been falling for nearly fifty
years. In 1918, mass l6o feet long
and 40 feet wide, broke off and fell
into the flood below; and ten years
later, in 1928, three immense masses
fell witha crash that sounded out above
the eternal roar of the Falls. Again,
a fragment fell in 1929, and in 1850 a
huge mass two hundred feet in length
and one hundred feet in thickness.
Otherportions fell in 1857 andin 1868.
At one time upwards Of fifty persons
had been standing upon the rock but a
few minutes before one of these por-
tions fell. The only loss sustained,
however, was an old hack from which
the horses had been taken but few
moments before. ..
Owing to the frequent breaking
away of portions of the rock, it has Of
late been regarded as dangerous, and
persons have been warned against GO
ing on the rock, or underneath it.
Visitors have thus been debarred some
of the grandest views to be had of the
Horseshoe Fall. The danger is gone,
but with it the view Of which Charles
Dickens wrote
at was not till | came on Table
Rock, and looked on the fall of bright
green water, that it came upon me in
its full weight and majesty. Then
Niagara was forever stamped upon my
heart, an image of beauty, to remain
there, changeless and indclible, until
its pulses cease to beat forever"
For two weeks past efforts have been
made to disengage what remained Of
the rock, by blasting with powder
Advantage was taken of a deep chasm
formed by the weight ofthc projection,
to sink hole ten or fifteen feet deep
and then insert in the creviccs an i'm
mense blast of powder. At 6 p. m.,
to-day, the match was applied, a dark
column of smoke and sand arose, and a
terrific crash was heard, and the last OF
this once magnificent rock, still huge
in its proportions, and weighing hun
dreds of tons, rolled in the secthing
cauldron below. 1. C. p.
