Major Hallum, of Kentucky, delivered
an able and very interesting lecture upor
the subject of temperance, at The Court
House in this place, on Friday evening
last. The house was well filled and the
audience was well pleased with the Ma
jor's speach. He gave us an interesting
account ofthe commencement and progress
of the great temperance reformation that
has been going on for a few months past
1t Newport and Covipgton, Ky. Liquor
establishments that have heretofore been
almost coming money as the result Of
their nefarous traffic are closing up there
because this great reformation has taken
their customers from them, and they can
not afford to pay thelicense that is charged
there for the privilege of desecrating the
morals of those who, otherwise, are good
and valuable citizens,

~ New residences are looming up in
every portion of our town, and visitors say
at more improvement is going on in
Washington and Fayette county than in
any town or county in this portion of
Ohio; and we would add that no town in
the State needed improving more than
ours. Our citizens have finally, in view
of the advantages Of our location, entered
into the good work of Improvement, and
we are soon to have one of the neatest and
prettiest county towns in Southern Ohio.

is the first attempt we have seen to
identify the deluge with any geological

tum OF clay found in Belgium and
France, spread like 4 blanket over the
soil which immediately covers the drift,
aud which contains the earliest human
remains. Above the Loess is the pres

the region of the Mississippi. The

stratified by water and containing main-
ly land shells, which proves it to have
been of but snort duration. Upon this
Loess rests the present soil,

that that immense layer of coal covers
the entire area of seven hundred acres
and that the coal is Of equal purity. No

One Woman Marrying Another.

She has married a woman. Such is
the position of plaintiff below q court
Of Santiago, Chilli. The wife has sued
for divorce, founding her application
on the simple fact that her husband is
Of the same sex as herself. This was
enough to procure q divorce, but not
enough to create an embarrassing law
case; and yet the bench of Santiago is
sorely puzzled over the matter. It was
easy to separate husband and wife-but
