TEMPERANCE S0CIETY

BY resolution of the Society, the undersigned
were authorized to present the claims Of our
cause to the yo6ths of Alexandria.
Boys, we are enlisted in the cause OF Temper
ance, because we believe intemperance has been
so destructive 10 the community; and while 50
much has been done TO cure the evil to save
men from the destroyer of our own race, and
yet so little accomplished it is represented that
to give up intemperance when once the habit is
fixed is almost beyond the power Of man to re-
sist. This IS evident from the fact that many
are notable to keep solemn pledge, and we
are taught that, if I'VE resist the tempter he
will flee from us )" we, therefore, now, in our
youthful days, have banded ourselves by pledge
10 total abstinence from all that will intoxicate
We present to the boys of this place in this As
seek by bringing them within our order, to in
crease this circle Of sobriety until it shall reach
all the youths of our city. Our object is form
bond of union, to encourage and sustain each
other in the paths of virtue and honor, so as we
grow TO manhood we may have instlled into
our hearts the principle of Total Abstinence.
We appeal to fathers and mothers to assist
us so that our associates and school-telloWs
may be induced to join our social band. Boys.
how much better for our future If lntemperance
does not overtake us in youth. 80 may OF
our boys have sick hearts; so may suffer;
some from hunger, others from cold-all be
cause of incompetence around them. Some are
compelled to hide and blush in shame because
some dear one drinks too much. We hold our
meetings in the room over the market house, at
o clock Wednesday evening of each week.
We oppose night meetings Our meetings are
opened with prayer. We hope to grow wiser
and increase ourselves by this course.
Now, fathers, won't you advise your sons to
join? Mothers, we will feel much happier if
you will help Us in this good work Oh boys,
come with US, and we hope to do you good.
Our glorious plan, to rescue man,
From sorrow, vice and shame
Still gathers strength, until at length
May it the world reclaim

100000 STOLEN AND RECOVERED ESCAPE
OF TIE THIEvEs.-A bold attem pit was made
this morning to rob the Third Avenue Central
Park Savings Bank.
On Monday last gcntlemanly appearing
man, about twcnty-six years of age, giving the
name of Joseph Howell, went to the bank and
deposited $50 saying that he wished to be.
come regular depositor. On the next day he
returned to the bank with $500 20 United
States bond, and said to the cashier, Anthony
E!lis, that he wanted to leave it as special
deposit, as he was going to Boston that day
and would not return until to-day. About
eleven O'Clock this morning he went to The bank,
accompanied by confederate: The latter by
stoopng down. escaped the observation Of the
cashier. Howell then told Mr. Ellis that he
wished to see his bond, as he wanted to put
other papers with it. Mr. Ellis went to the
safe and took it out. On returning to thetront
of the bank he engaged in conservation with
Howell who took from his pocket handful
of foreign gold, which he said belonged to a lit
tie girl and which he wanted to deposit in her
name. At this time Mr.. Ellis heard a slight
noise near the safe, which he had left open,
and on looking to learn the cause, was told by
Howell that it was little boy who was with
him. Ellis then ran back to the safe, when
the thief rushed out, dropping package con-
tanning $500 in money, between $4,000 and
100000 worth Of bonds, mortgages and other
valuable papers, and property amounting to
more than $4,000 more.
Both men then ran out of the bank, Howell
taking with him the $500 bond, and both es-
capped But for the slight noise occasloned by
the opening OF a counter door leading to the
private office, which attracted the cashiers at
tention, it is probable the thieves would have
succeeded in robbing the institution.-N T.

As we expected, the report Of Gen. Stone
man, Military Commander of the Military Dis
trict of Virginia, made to the War Depart
ment, an abstract of which we published a few
days ago, has not given satisfaction to the M-
trds, and especially distasteful, we are inform
ed, to those who constitute the present execu-
tive civil government Of the State 1t is quite
evident that the extremists do not find in Gen.
S. man after their own hearts, and would be
very glad to get rid of him. In particular, is
objection made to what is said to be Gen. s. S
opinion ''that is impossible to find persons in
the State who are not disqualified by the Four
teerth Article Of the Constitution or the test
oath, capable Of filling the Offices, and that,
consequently, he has not been able to make the
changes" which the Radicals desire. This
is regarded as thigh crime aud inside

will ''hold his OWL" until the RECONSTRUCTED"

to Joseph Ruth, or bearer, and signed by Cox

post Office from Joseph Ruth, requesting him
to collect 1t. MIR. Boyd was then arrested. Mr..

porting to have signed the check, but who
pronounced it we'll executed forgcTy,) testify

of IN intent to utter forged check was very

The Washington Chronicle, in quoting an
article from the Petersburg Express, in favor
of encouraging immigration into the State of
Virginia, affects to regard it as something new,
and as an evidence that the South is just be-
ginning ''to show some faint signs of awaken
ing to a correct appreciation of her present
circumstances and the needs growing out of
them" Why, the Express, and almost all
the other journals Of the State have been
urging the same thing ever since the war,
constantly. 1t is no beginning on their
part They begun at once, aud have continued
ever since. The Express has but followed up
the laudable efforts it has always made. Why
represent this as noyelty--as if we had all sud
denly been driven 10 this opinion. We know
that We have scarcely let week pass, for three
years past, without writing or copying some
thing in favor of encouraging aud inducing
immigration to our State. We have been
instant and earnest, in that behalf.
