The JOURNAL, CLERK of the House OF
Representatives has just prepared roll of all
the members of the Forty-first Congress who
have taken the oath of office. This list en-
braces exactly 200 names, and does not in
clude the name of Covode nor of the contest
ant, Foster, and all classes of like nature held
Tor determination are not embraced in the
list. The eight members elected from Vir-
ginia will not be sworn in, if at all, until the
State is admitted Alabama furnishes six
members, but they have not yet taken the
oath. Sheldon, of Louisiana, is the only mem
Der yet entitled to his seat from that State out
OF the five districts. Texas, if admitted, will
furnish four members, and Mississippi five.
and when the case Of Georgia is finally de-
elded seven Representatives will be furnished
by that State; so that the roll will show list
of about 230 members when all the States are
admitted, which, it is believed, will be done
before the adjournment of the coming session.
Five members named Smith have already
taken the oath, and it is uncertain how many
more may be added when the absent mem
bers are admitted. Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee,
Vermont and Iowa each furnish Smith, but

TEMPERANCE IN MAssACHUsETTs.-The adj
dress of the State Temperance Alliance of Mas
sachusetts is published. In reviewing the re.
suit of the late State election it assumes that
though the friends of temperance declined to
demand an expression of their sentiments in
the platform of the Republican party, or to or.
ganize party of thcir own, still scarcely dis
trict, senatorial ar representative, was from the
influence of this question; AID that of the Re-
publican members elect to the Legislature,
two-thirds are prohibitionists, and nearly all
the Democratic members were chosen by Re-
publican votes, given in defiance of party, and
in support of the sale of Intoxicating liquor as
a beverage. 1t opposes all notifications of the
present law and urges that the temperance re.
form should be put prominently into the polit-
ical arena. In its closing appeal the address
has this paragraph:
The issue is set between free trade in intox-
eating beverages and their complete prohibi-
ton. The pretence of license has practically
vanished from the public mind. The enemies
of this cause demand unlimited freedom for the
indulgence of their appetites Their banner is
free rum. Their antagonists, with equal in
stinct see the folly of licensing and regulating
such an enormous evil, and justly demand its
prohibition.
1t is understood that DR.. Miner is the author
of the address, as he represents the ultras in
the Alliance.

MAYORS OFFICE, Nov. 16, 1863
The attention OF the citizens is earnestly called to
the Ordinances in relation to clearing snow from
sidewalks. The safety Of travellers requires that
the walks should he cleared with more promptness
and thorouehness than has been the practice in too
many cases in past seasons.
Large holders of Real Estate should be particularly
Jealous in any precautions taken to save the civ
from repetition of the numerous claims heretofore
made or now pending against the city for broken
walks.
Inc most troublesome defect in our walks in
winter is caused by The ridge of snow and ice made
by travellers through the fresh snow before he walks
are IN any part cleared. This can in a large degree
pe remedied by clearing a narrow path the whole
length OF the walk, as soon the snow will permit
ana before clearing the breadth of the walk
Attention is also called to the fact that the Ordi-
nance applies TO all vacant lots In front OF which
Regularly travelled walks not exceeding the space
OF one hundred and fifty feet where the lot has
than that frontage.

A. Fl. S. DAVIS, Esq, the talented editor Of
the Pennington Chronicle not content with the
ephemeral fame which is an editors sole re-
ward, has ventured out in new direction and
will appear before the public shortly in the
character Of an author. He has written story
entitled George Newman, the Yankee Spy,
and Carrie Munford, the Southern Heroine"
the publication of which will be commenced in
the Chronicle the first of January and contin-
ued through the year, after which it will be
published in book form, and if we mistake not
will meet with ready sale. The portion which
we have read Is deeply interesting, and while
written in graphic, and one might add cap
tivating style, bears evidence upon its face of
being founded upon facts and emoelished with
incidents growing obi of the recent great re-
bellion. This gives it additional interest and
adds greatly to its value. The skill with which
he has arranged the plot, and the regularness
of his characters would seem to indicate prac-
ticed pen. The publication of the story in his
paper before publishing it in book form will
doubtless be appreciated by his readers, and
ought to add largely to his subscription list.
