THE "cIDER" QUESTION.
And now, Brother Mackley, permit
me to say few words by way of ex-
horation, about an article, or rather ed
itorial, you published last fall on the
subject of temperance. 1t would seem,
from reading the article, that some
Temperance lecturer had been advoca-
ting the doctrine in your city, that tenn
perance men should not drink sweet
cider, from which opinion you dissent
ed, and claimed that it was not only
good and pleasant, but that Physiolo-
gists were in favor of its use. l do not
now recollect your exact language, but
the idea, as ] understood twas as stated
above, and that you would drink it.
Some men who have read Physiology
may have said so, but that good Ply
siologists say so | emphatically deny.
Prof. Carpenter of the University of
London, and author of our best work on
Physiology, states the four following
propositions, which were endorsed by
more than two thousand physicians and
surgeons of England:
1st. Thata very large proportion of human
misery, including poverty, disease and crime, is
induced by the use of alcoholic or ferment cd
| liquors as beverages
I'd. That the most perfect health Is compati-
BILE with total abstinence from all such intoxiea-
ting beverages, whether In the form OF ardent
spirits, or as wine, beer, ale, porter, cider, &C,
| 3D. That persons accustomed to such drinks
may, with perfect safety, discontinue them en-.
tlrely, either at once or gradually after q short
time.
4th. That total and universal abstinence from
alcoholic beverages of all sorts would greatly
contribute to the health, the prosperity, the
morality, and the happiness of the human race.
Prof. Miller of Scotland, is equally
| if not more emphatic than Prof Car
penter. DIR. John Higginbottom ol
| nottingham, England, in writing on
alcoholic Rheumatism, says:
at appears usually about the middle stage o.
life, after the person has for some years daily
Imbibed fermented alcoholic liquors, such AZ
beer, ale, porter, cider, &C., even In moderate
quantities" 1aa H.l.
Another writer, in speaking of the
same disease, says:
"There must be something deleterlous In cider
as Il is the precursor of Rheumatism IN the
laborine man. Witness the number suffering
from the effects of IL, hobbling about Of forty
wears ofage; the cider countries are full ofthem.
! DR.. Higginbottom, in commenting
on the above, says: ..JlaJGj
81 have no doubt the complaint is alcoholic
rheumatism, produced by the fermented alco
holic beverage from the apple as from malt, jus
as like results attend the daily use Ofmalt liquo
beverages" .tG-

THE MORGAN FAMILY.

EDITOR STANDARD-In recent num-
Der of the STANDARD / noticed an arti-
Gle giving an account of q trial in the
early history of Jackson county between
Peter Seal and one Morgan, and 1
thought perhaps more extended ac-
count of the Morgan family would not
be uninteresting to your readers. You
were correct in Stating that the old man
was hung. The son, who swore false
ly on that trial, married a widow in
Illinois with one child, and some time
afterwards the child having chill, and
endeavoring to warm itself by the fire,
so incensed its drunken step-father
that he caught it and held it over the
fire until it was literally roasted. 1t
lived but few hours, and Morgan fed

MAY EVENING.
BIZ WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.


The breath of sprlng-tlme ,at this twilight hour,
Comes through the gathering glooms,
AND bears the stolen sweets Of many flower,
Into my silent rooms.
Where hast thou wandered, gentle gale, to find
The perfumes thou d0st bring2 wind.
By brooks, that through the wakening meadows
Or brink Of rushy spring3
Or woodside, where, in little companies,
The early wild flowers rise,
Or she ltered lawn, where, mid encircling trees,
Mays warmest sunshine lies1
Now sleeps the humming,bird, that, in the sun,
Wandered from bloom to bloom;
Now, too, the weary bee, his days work done,
Rests In his Waxen room.
Now every lowering insect to his place
Beneath the leaves hath flown; race
And, through the long-night hours, the fowery
Are left to thee alone.
Ger the pale blossoms of the sassafras
And DER the spice-bush spray,
Among the opening buds, thy breathin gs pass,
And come embalmed away.
Yet there is sadness in thy soft caress,
Wind of the blooming year
The gentle presence, that was wont to bless
Thy coming, is not here.
Go, then and yet bid thee not repair,
Thy gathered sweets to shed,
When pine and willow, in the evening air,
Sigh oer the buried dead.
Pass on to homes where cheerful voices sound
And cheerful looks are cast
And where thou wa kest, in thy airy round,
No sorrow Of the past.
And whisper, everywhere. that Earth renewS
Her beautiful array,
Amid the darkness and the gathering dews,
For the return of day.

egThe announcement made in the
papers some weeks since, that the last
Revolutionary hero had died, needs
confirmation. We called on Isaac Cut
lip, an aged citizen of Scioto township,
in this county, yesterday, who has the
reputation of being upwards of "a hun
dred years old. We found him upon his
bed, but when informed that he had a
visitor he readily arose, and entered in
to conversation with us. Mr.. Cutlip
was born in Virginia, but his memory
is SO defective he could not tell us in
what county On questioning him he
claimed to be one hundred and Seventeen
gears old, and says he was in the famous
battle of Point Pleasant, with his faith
er. The battle was on the 10th of Oc-
tober, 1774. Previous to that time,
we Judge, he was employed as a spy
among the Indians, though his memory
was so confused that we could not make
out dates. At one time he and others
had been piling brush and were about
to set a huge heap on fire, just at dusk,
when person approached him from
the woods, and he supposed him to be
a companion and addressed him as such.
But it proved to be an Indian, who
darted out of the woods, and plunged
a tomahawk in his head, the scar of
which still remains. The men with
him pursued the Indian and killed him.
Mr. Cutlip claims that he was q spy
under Washington, and told US some
incidents that now live in history, and
says he was in the battle of Bunker
Hill in Virginia and at Donnelly Fort.
Adam Dickinson was his Colonel, Will
liam Hamilton his Major, and Sam'l
McClurg his Captain Mr.. Cutlip had
three brothers-John, David and Geo.
Henry M. Crow informs us that hemet
his brother George, very aged man,
in SummervilIe, Va, while in the mil
itary service, in 1853. If these state
ments are true, we have one more Rev
olutionary hero left, who has never
drawn pension. Mr.. Cutlip is still
smart, and visits his neighbors, and
even chops wood. - WdVegly Republieaa,
