/. o. K. from a circular received
few days since we extract the follow
ing paragraphs in relation to the OBJ.
jects Of the Independent Order Knights
Templar of Temperance:
''1t was after long and earnest study
the conclusion was reached that this
new candidate for public favor was q
necessity; and as an independent or
Ganization 1t was established, not to
suppIant but TO aid other orders; not
with design that 1t should become the
temperance army, but powerful arm
of that great host destined one day to
be so gloriously successful and trium.
plant. II Ia not claimed for it that for
all work it is the best order in exist
eDce, but for its own work it has no
equal. It could not take the place, for
Instance, OF the Good Templars, yet
neither could the Good Templars take
it's place; just as cavalry Is better for
cavalry duty, and infantry for infantry
duly. so are these two organizations
pei Gect, each in its own sphere. Other
orders bear TO this the relation of mill.
tary training schools to field service.
While it willingly receives it does not
seek Il membership from among those
who need reformation, but prefers the
trained, tried and true worker.
Its special business is, first, to assist
the enforcement OF existing and the en-
actment of better temper ance laws, and
second to create a healthy public senti-
ment by the dissemination of tempe.
rance literature, and by the use of all
other means it its power. The second
object may be partially accomplished
in any organization, but the first re-
quires more discretion, prudence, en-
ergY, perseverance and secrecy than
are usually found in bodies composed
of persons Of all ages"
'Phe knights Templar admit gentle
men at lwenty~one and ladies at eiRh-
teen. This WITH their solemn, impress
siVe and beautiful ceremonies and their
sacred and binding: obligation secures
secret, silent and efficient work. Per
sons high in Masonry and Odd Fellow
snap declare the ceremonies of this Or
der unsurpassed in beauty, while the
same authorities declare that the initia-
tory ceremony of the Supreme Council
Is for sublimity, beauty and impress
siveuess unequalled.
The following is an extract from a
private letter written by Sir Harry
Cassil to the Council in this city, giving
a bret history of the order. He says:
Organized originally as side degree
or the Good Templars, its usefulness
and efficiency had been thoroughly
| tested before it was made independent
by the organization of the Supreme
Council; Regarding it's field in connec-
| ton WIN single order as too narrow,
the supreme Council resolved that
| mem bershiP in any other order should
no longer be a prerequisite to member-
ship, but that any honorable lady or
gentleman who could pass the ordeal
OF the Good Templars might be admit
| ted,''

POLICE CoURT.-There was a great
falling off in the business transacted in
this Court yesterday morning, as com
pared with that of the preceding day.
The first case called was that of owen
Connery, charged with creating tumult
and disorder in a Centre Wheeling Sa-
loon. The testimony established the
fact that Owen was more sinned against
than sinner, and the charge was dis
missed at complainant's cost.
The trial of John Losh, for firing a
pistol within the city limits, was con-
tinued until next Wednesday morning.
John Zimmerman and John Murphy
were called into the dock and arraigned
for being drunk. Both confessed that
the charge was true, and each fined one
dollar and costs. They did not have
the funds, and were escorted to Fifth
street. Noah Price will give them i'm
structions in the science of Geology.
