SOMETHING NEw.--A neighbor Of
mine had very rough cellar bottom, and
did not want 60 go to the expense of the
cement, SO he took his coal ashes and
mixed it with water to the ordinary thick
ness Of mortar. 1t does not matter hog
many Jumps or stones there are. Put il
on about four inches thick let it lay
twenty four hours, then stamp it with a
heavy block of wood three or four times
a day, until it is perfectly hard. 1t is
better than cement,y as it will not crack
or scale off.--Anerican Farmer.

EQUALITY IN CHURoAEs.-A letter
writer from G G-rnahy says /: "And here
| may note one Of the excellencies of
German churches Nobody has his own
pew, therefore everybody has equal title
to q seat, aud the poor never feel them,
selves excluded. The humblest peasant
can worship God in the Kings chapel.
There are no aristociatic churches where
to the poor the Gospel is not preached" !"

Butler, February LIST 1867.

Mr.. EDITOR Il presume it is some
time since you have heard from the little
village of Centreville. We are still alive
aud moving in the line OF improvement.
Our village is bound to be something yet,
in the eyes of the travelling community.
We have one tin shop, With any amount
of tin ware, and toys Of every descrip-
tion three dry goods storcs, one grocery
store, one fancy store, two millinery es-
tablishmept, three blacksmith shops, one
chair shop, one tailor shop, one cabinet
shop, two wagon shops, and one foundry.
We have three churches, lone Metho-
dist, one Presbyterian, and one United
Presbyterian two schools, No. l, taught
by Mr.. Sullivan, No. 2, by Mr.. Patter-
son. These are we'll attended, and are in
fourishing condition. We have two
tavernS, both on the decllle, SO far as sell
ing hauor is concerned. One more strug
gle, such as they passed through last
spring, will end their mortal career, for
the good people of this place and 7icin>
ity have determined to put q stop to the
sale of intoxicating drinks The work OF
reform has fairly commenced since liq-
uor has been banlshed from the place.
The ladies, who took an active part in
demonstrating against the sale of the
soul-destroying beverage in our midst,
have often been made to blush at the
abusive ami vulgar language Of the rum
suckers who infect those places where the
Intoxicating draught was formerly sold,
particularly, has this been the case with
certain widows who had just cause, and
were active iu their eEertions to free our
community of the evil consequences re>
sulting from the use Of l;quor These
vile prosecutors should hide their guilty
heads, or go to the depths OF the forest
amongst the uneivilized Indians. They
should be ashamed to vent their rage ON
the widows and orphans, aud particularly
against those whose husbands and fathers
suffered and died in the defense of
their country better, far better, lend a
helping hand to them, than try to injure
them. | have sat and listened to these
men until my blood boiled with rage, but
dare not say word, for they are of such
disposition that their revenge would
have been hurled at me with two fold
vengeance. But those brave women bore
it all without murmur and they are
determined that if their voice can be
heard, the vile traffic shall be kept from
this place. 1t is their fondest hope and
fervent prayer, that the Judges Of the
Butler Court will never grant license to
another tavern or drinking saloon in Gen.
treville. dr
Since intoxicating drinks have ceased
to be sold here, men who were in the
habit of drinking, look better, work better,
and are better. Their wives, poor heart
broken creatures, are beginning to lock
cheerful and happy, and they are begins
uipg to think Of taste and comfort New
houses are being built, old oncs remod-
deled, and work is going on with rush.
So much for reform, God bless the Wild
ows, and all the ladies who lend help
ing hand in the work Of reformation. nc

"A home, after . sojourn Of few months IN
the city, was hardly recognized BY her friends.
In place Of COARSE, rustic, flushed face, she
had . sofe ruby complexion Of almoes marble

really appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry
rs to the cause Of 20 great change, she
plainly told them that she used the CIRCAS-

able acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its
use any lady or gentleman can improve their
personal appearance an hundred fold. It Is
simple in its combination, rs Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in

MoyE IN THE RIGHT DIREcrioy.--We under
stand that the SALOON keepers Of this place
have proposed 10 the Good TemLlsrs that upon
the receipt Of twenty five dollars each, they
will bind themselves 10 sell no more beer or
other intoxicating liquors for the term OF one
year. The proposition, il is said has been
formally accepted, AMI an effort is now being
made TO raise the money. One hundred dol-
lars is the sum acknowledgements Repub-
Acan.
We certainly differ most materially with the
REPUBLICAN man Of Montezuma. We do not
believe in hiring saloon men TO do anything,
for you may bet your bottom dollar, reader,
that their pledges in that direction are not
worth one cent, no not the ten mll,onth part OF
u mill is their words worth in such matters
We have seen i, tried and the only way to 10
with them is 10 bind them hand AMI foo, with
the iron bands Of law. We hope the Good
remplar lodges Of our State will not thus com.
,romise their dignity. Beer saloons can be
.anlied with the law, rs most Of them violat
with immunity. Tam Consy K,pubhcqn

You are certainly disposed to look at drunk

W. W. YARnAM, the limp" Of II. c. weitng.
the slanderer and defamer Of his neighbors, J
it seems partakes largely of the character OF
his illusiIious chief In "a visit to Toledo
printed in the Belle Plaine Paper, he innmotes
that the editor Of some paper in Tama county
is indebted to him. We observe that the To-
ledo Paper ..notices" the visit" hut denies the
Indebtedness. The UNION editor has only to
say Of W. ". YARHAM that the only mosey
transaction lie ever had with him, was to pay
Express and Railroad charges for him, amount
ing to over Sis. on the 3lst day OF last March,
which he promised to refund in two weeks,
which up to this time has never been DONE
Whenever the PURP comes this way again md
cant see any place TO build State Capitol we
trus, he will call and settle ama County

Now Brother Ingham We think you are a
little rough on us by saying We deny the in
debtedness referred TO by Mr. Yarham. We
only told him if it ca. on us il would be worth
''one-half mill on the one thousand dollars .
hat hurts you SO that you make such fu.,
about it? Perhaps Brother Yarham's vision
is taken up SO looking for sites to erect State
Capitol buildings on, that he forgets express
