fresh and different. After the flowers,
came an iuexhaustible supply of refresh
ments proper to the occasion, from atten-
tive walters and policemen. This, after
an hour or two, being followed by music
and dancing to be continued at their
pleasure and leisure. The girls being
dressed in white dresses or collars OF
delicate shades, and being OF fresh,
cheerful age-feurteen to seventeen years
of age-the scene was most interesting.
For these public occasions there seems to
be some field of rare plants that is drawn
upon to add to the beauty and attractions
of the hall. A row of living plants,
mostly tropical, bordered the front edge
of the stage, behind which the musicians
were partly hidden from view; the bal.
comics being festooned with green leaves.
The light in which all appeared being
a blending of light from the east and
west semi-circular windows situated far
above.
Though this was an occasion of ex-
traordinary beauty and interest, and has
taken place regularly year after year, yet
the world outside knows little about the
character of it. The city is so large and
populeus, and the school system so regu-
lar and long established, that these events,
SO important to the pupils, make no SEN
sation in the public. b.

MELMORE NEWS.

Nothing Of special importance has
transpired here of late. The meeting
at the NJ. E. Church continues with
some interest. Our business men are
having a fair amount Of trade. Mr..
Noel has retired from the firm of
Hamlin & Noel, grocers, and the busi-
ness is now conducted by Mr.. Hamlin.
Mr.. Noel returns to his farm. Our
village has four drug stores, all doing
a lively business. The Masons, Odd
Fellows and Templars are all having
a revival this winter. The TempIars,
after long forbearance, are trying Ie.
gal s1asion, which they say works
like a charm. They have dried up the
retailing of liquors, and intend it
shall so remain. They have adopted
a series OF monthly public meetings
that are well attended and appreciat-
ed by the community. We watch
with deep interest the temperance
movement lately made in Tiffin, and
the noble stand taken by the Mayor.
He was a member of this community
in his earlier days, and we naturally
feel an interest in the course he has
taken. We say to him, go on. Law
and order are on your side, and the
law-abiding men ofall parties are with
you. MELMoRE.

Some time ago Victoria Woodruff
and others presented q memorial to
Congress asking that body to decide
woman suffrage to exist in the States
by reason Of the 14th Amendment.
The matter referred to the Judiciary
Committee and 8 report upon it was
presented upon Tuesday. It is some
what extended and examines thor
oughly all the points made by the
memorialists. It states that the i4th
Amendment does not confer suffrage
upon women. The word citizen, as
therein used, means just whatit did in
the original Constitution, and 20 more
It takes the ground that Congress has
no right to prescribe the qualifications
Of electors, that being the peculiar
province Of the States. When the lat
ter choose to take this step they are
at perfect liberty to do 50. The re-
port concludes by stating that If wo-
men have, as is claimed, an existing
right under the Constitution to vote,
the Courts ofthe country are the prop
er places to assert that right, and fur
ther legislation on the part OF Congress
would be useless and unnecessary.

REVIVAL

There is now in progress quite an
extensive revival of religion in this
place, mainly among young people
The meetings were commenced with
the "Week of Prayer" and have been
continued until the present. They are
held in the Methodist Church, but
their influence being shared by all the
churches. Up to this time over so
persons have been at the altar of pray
er as penitent seekers of religion,
large numbers of whom are known to
have found peace in believing.
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
On Monday evening, the Rev. Mr..
Northrop, pastor of the Baptist church
in Tiffin, delivered us a very
fine temperance address. The audi
enee was large and appreciative, and
save some personal illusions that gave
some needless offence by reason of
imperfect statements, the lecture was
well received. 1t was intellectual, ar
gumentive, original and awakening.
The evils Of intemperance have often
been told. But we must confess its
many hideous forms and degrees of
terpitude, assumed new and more
startling aspects under his graphic
touch. His delineations Of its excit-
ing causes, and the processes by which
the point of confirmed inebriety was
reached, were put in forms that made
the path to ruin appear in bold out
lines His suggestions as to its rene
dy were deserving Of practical eonsid-
Grafton by Temperance men, and
wiz yet be reduced to practice by the
State. LOCAL.
