The Sabbath School Cause in Kos
Ciusko.

The friends of the Sabbath School !
cause in kosciasko had very inter
esting meeting at the Presby terrain
Church in that place on the evening
of the I'd inst, glowing account of
which we find ChrORicle d in the ex-
cellent newspaper of that town.
We copy as fellows, promising that
we wi Ii tire sa me could be said of
the Sunday Schools in Canton that
is here said of the Kosciuske Tn
ion Sunday School"
Perhaps few such eloquent and
effective speakers as the Rev. c. b.
Galloway might succeed in arousing
the good people of our community to
Il greater zeal in the cause of Sab.
bath Schools. Says fine Chronicle:
We supposed that the chief oh
.ject of the meeting was to organize
larger school. and expected when
we entered the Church TO zee, in some
obscure corner, n small group of lit
tie children, and he told that they
were all the children in town who
could be got into the Sunday School !;
7 but such was not the case. On the
other hand, our Il ten.ion was ut
once directed to the long middle row
Of seats, crowded, not with little
children alrne, but also with young
ladies' and gentlemen, numbering IN
all DSOTe than n hundred. We were
surprised, for we did not know there
were SO many young people in Kos
ciuSllO. We passed the school in re
view, and in front we saw a class of
Young men whose well known NOR
ais, high character and true merit,
told the influence of Sabbath School
instruction upon the Young mind.
We have no reckless and tlesper-
ate young men in our midst, bRt this
class of young men speaks signIfi-
cant commentary upon those not
connected with the school. Our
mind was forced to comparison of
those in the school with those not in
it. and the contrast made us wish
thatall would become Sabbath School
members. y
We had scarcely looked over the
happy lads and lasSles that composed
the remaining classes of the school,
when the speaker of the evening,
Rev C. Ii. Galloway, was announced.
y large assembly Of persons were
present to hear the address of our
former town-bOy.
The speaker did himself great
credit. His most admiring friends
we're surprised ut his brilliant effort.
We will not attempt to suppress our
srrprise and admiration. Though
twenty summers have not brown
ed " the brow of the youth, he is a
s'rong hero on the walls of Zion,
and sornds in engaging stratus the
Just claims of Jehovah. He possesses
many Of the qualities OF true ORA
/ tor, and has before him Il career of
more than ordinary usefulness. His
impressive address had the good eff
feet of producing an increased inter
est in the Sabbath School. Tfe will
enjoy the compliment paid him by
the attention of the audience.

Hydr5phobia.

Several shocking deaths from by
drophObia have occurred lately, an
account of two or three of which we
have published. To read of the suf-
fcrings of the poor victims was
enough to draw sympathy from the
StOntest heart, and to witness them,
as thousands were permitted to do,
made men swear vengeance against
the whole canine race. In Cincin-
natl, the city authorities have Impos-
ed Il tax of 50 on dogs, and require
the OwIlerS to take ont licenses, I'M
ier penalty of instant death to their
pets, in ease of failure. Dogs are
exempt at no season Of the year from
the attack of hydrophobia, and IL per
s@l bitten ever so slightly Ivy one,
cannot be sure that he will not be
attacked at any time by this rpmedL-
less disease. Science has failed to-
End a cure for it, and no One who
was ever bitten by a rabid dog ever
got over it.-Lerington Gd.ctte.
We have III this city hundreds of
worthless cIrs, which are endanger~
ing the lives of our citizens, and now
that the season is approaching when
hydrophobia is most likely to prevail
~e would respectfully suggest to our
city authorities to take some action
in the matter without much further
delay. We know it is early i'll the
season, but hydrophobia has prevail

winter months, and if there, why not
here! We see long, lean, lank, man
gy, sirlly~lUoking ours providing
about the streets daily. and we are
almost afraid to cncoGmter one, since
we have read the details of SO many
horrid deaths from the bite of rabit
dogs. Let these cursed CANNES bt
