The Mprietta Register of last
week has the following notice of
John Gray, the old revolutionary
veteran, who was reached by the
tardy Justice of Congress year or
two ago, and a pension granted
him. The Standard says:
The "last man" of the Revolu-
tionary War is John Gray, who
lives with his step daughter, Mrs.
McElroy, in Brookfeld township,
in the adjoining county of Noble.
He is 104 years of age to-day, pass
ing into his 105th year; born in
Virginia, few miles from Mt Yer
non, February 9th, 1854. He was
in the field at the siege Of York
town, when in his 18th year. He
lost his papers" many years ago,
and never obtained a pension till
a year or two since it was granted
him by special act of Congress,
through the efforts OF Hon John
A. Bingham. A few weeks since
his general health was good, but he
is nearly helpless, his hearing bad,
his eyesight nearly gone, yet he
could walk on crutches. He has
been a great tobacco chewer all his
life. Mr.. Gray is Republican, and
will vote for Gen. Grant, if able to
reach the polls at the presidential
election next November.

phe LIQUOR Traffic.

| llle GreenYllle JOufnal corIes-
pondent from New Madison tells a
little story how that some OF the
citizens of that little village called
| on Judge Corwin, recently, at
Greenyillc, fnl prevailed on him to
accept, in the name Of the Court,
the small sum of $50, for the priv.
ilege they had exercised in selling
liquor in a manner not provided
for in the statutes.
That was very cheap amusement,
too cheap, and yet, we have an idea
if persons who knoio where and to
whom liquor is sold contrary to the
law in Eaton, would only take the
pains to prosecute these law break
ers every Court, and never once
failing, that we should soon be ena-
hled to announce the breaking up
of the hellish traffic that ruins hus-
bands, beggars wives, orphans
children, and destroys every joy Of
every house affected by it. Let the
women do this who know them
selves injured, every term till the
demon sold and those who sell it
are banished from our midst.
Do we use harsh terms? Can
terms too harsh be used regarding
this traffic, that docs only harm and
that of the worst kind and that
continually? If any man who sells
liquor to his fellows will cite MS to
so much as a grain OF good his
traffin has done in a score or ten
score of years, we will admit the
entire ground No, friends, it is
the evil of all evils now affecting
this country. 1t is worse than
thieving, worse than cheating, worse
than robbing, worse than murder
itself, not because it does either Of
these, but because it incites to all
Of them. 1t ruins men. 1t saps
the very foundation Of all that is
good or Of good report. 1t is the
essence of evil, first born Of the
spirit of evil. Is not this true ?
Does any man deny it? How then
can man, desiring to hold up his
head among his fellows, continue a
traffic that tends directly to their
Would be willingly
permit a powder magazine to be es-
tablished adjacent to his premises ?
Yet this is worse than a thousand
Ct powder. The latter
is remunerative when it does no one
harm, but his magazine is no use
to him without it does harm to
others, and the more harm it does
his neighbors, the more are his cof-
fers filed. Any man Of sense, OF
feeling for others, of regard for the
yeputation Of himself and family,
or who desires to spend the later
years of life on the gains of his
early manhood and ripper years,
ought to tremble as he behold5 the
legitimate results of his business.
The gaunt spectres of his custo-
mers, long since in their graves,
the happy families broken up, the
estates wasted, the wives beggared
and the hungry children in rags,
should rise up ever in his dreams,
driving rest from his couch, sleep
from his pillow, and all ease from
his soul, till he abandons the ter
rihle business Eaton ReAiSter.

possessed moral courage sufficient to stem the
currant of public opinion, so long as she felt
herself in the right, and because she dared to
keep herself from the idle goSSipers, she was
diSregarded and diSliked. And this is perhaps
the indirect cause of her death. She was taken
sick some IA days ago with fever and dysentery,
and being unable to go upstairs to her bed, she
laid herself on a sofa downstairs; the sufa being
too short for the length of her body, she had to
lay with her head on the one elbow and her two
sick legs resting on the other elbow. In this
position she remained ten days, destitute of at
tention and n~ourishment, although several per
sons were near by and Notwithstanding she was
by no means destitute of things to make her
comfortable. When at last strangers from
abroad got accidentally to know of her mise
rable state and came to her assistance, the
poor creature was all but gone, it was too late,
and 2 days after her removal to her bed, she
died, without doubt from need and total neg
lect.-Yet we see the good women of this town

TUESDAY, 9Th MAY 1868.

The European Mails arrived here on
Sunday morning. The London Papers
are devoid of any news of particular inter-
est, when we except that of the probable
fall of the Irish Church. On this subject
the european Times makes the follow
ing remarks:
off the present House of Commons, in
the last Stage of its existence, has passed
by unexpectedly large maioriries ~resolu-
tons condemning the Irish Church, it
may be regarded as morally certain that
the result of an appeal to the country at
large, with It's new constituencies, will
be greatly to reinforce that majority and
#he only possible result of this must be
that the greater the resistance the greater
will be the downfall of the Church when
it comes. If the maintenance of the Fri h
Church is made the cry with which the
Ministers 90 to the country, the Church
and the Cabinet will fall together, so as
to leave nothing of the institution, and
the Conservative party will he consigned
to an indefinitely long term ofOpposition."
THE est. Thoma Tidende' copies an
article from the New York Herald, in
which, as usual, the purchase of St. Tho
mas and ST. Johns is made to appear a
very improbable event. "'Manifest des-
tiny" says that paper, 'points to the
absorption ultimately by the Great Re-
public of all the countries and colonies
on the mainland and all the adjacent ISL
ands between the Arctic Circle and the
Isthmus of Panama" We suppose, that
in the opinion of the Herald, a fIlbustpr-
ing expedition is Il more natural result of
"Manifest Destiny" than an honest Con-
v@ention or Treaty.
In our next last number, we drew the
attention of our readers to an Address to
His Majesty which was heing, in a rather
clandestine manner, hand d about for slg-
