THE CURRENT OF GERMAN EMI.
GRAFTON.

During the period of twelve years, from
the beginning Of 1859 to the close Of 1870,
2,Z67,5OO German immigrants arrived in
this country. The largest immigration of
this thrifty class Of our foreign population
in single year took place in 1863, when
the aggregate was l24,766. The war with
France stopped the tide for several months,
So that the total for the year 1870 fell to
el,00O-but since the peace the old desire
of the Germans to find new homes here
has returned with such vigor as to create
alarm in the Cabinet of Berlin. 1t
is not, therefore, surprising to hear
that the government Of the new
empire is deyisin., schemes by which TO
keep the German people upon German soil.
The first indication of this movement is the
account of an agreement between the
Governments Of Berlin and Vienna, to di-
vert toward the Austrian empire the flood
which is once more setting westward. 1t is
understood that no measure of coercion
v i'll be employed 20 effect the desired re-
suit, but Bismarck and BUest have settled
the preliminaIies for the indirect exercise of
powerful influences. The German empire
is oyerstOcked with labor, and wages are
low; but Austria lacks supplies of work
men, both in her factories and her fields,
and offers prices fifty per cent. higher than
those now paid in Germany.

sunday school Convention.

Our readers will please not forget that the
BOYLE county Sunday School Convention will
he held on next Tuesday at Providence church,
three miles east Of Danville, on the Danville
and Lancaster turnpike. An invitation has
been extended to this, and other counties to
cooperate with them, and we hope that the
Sunday schools in this county will send each,
at least one delegate This is not a denomi-
national affair. All Sunday schools are united
as one, only looking to the interest of the
cause. Much good is accomplished by these
meetings. We should meet together for mutual
council, and as a unit, adopt such a course as
will lead % the upbuilding Of Sunday schools
all over the country. A Sunday school is ap-
propriately termed the "Nurery Of the
Church. In the Sunday school is the place
to impart religious instructions to young and
tender hearts, and endeavor to implapt in the
minds Of children, not the peculiar doctrines Of
any particular denomination or sect, but pure
and earnest love for the Redeemer. Teaching
them to "abhor that which Is evil, and cleaye
TO that which is good" There is right and
wrong way to conduct Sunday school, just
as in every thing else, therefore, we think il
highly proper and productive of much good,
10 hold these Sunday school reunions, If only
on the principle that 1.-TWO heads are better
than one"

Died at Gum Sulphur on the l7th of June,
in the oath year Of her age, Mrs. Ellen Mary
Lusk, after a lingering illness, during which
all was done to alleviate her suherings, that the
tenderness Of devoted husband could do, aid
ed by the best medical skill that could be pro-
cured. Throughout her illness she bore her
sufferings with christian fortitude, even bearing
her testimony to the last, Of the power Of faith
to look beyond the dark valley Of death and
discern the bright lands beyond, when she said
her CLONE" was with her Saviour. She re-
tanned her reason to the last, and took tend
er leave Of her husband and mother and all
the members Of her family, and friends, saying
she was only going before them to the land Of
peace and rest, where there would he no more
sickness or sorrow May the same faith that
sustained her in her last hours comfort the be-
reayed husband and friends, and while nature
must pay the tribute Of tears Cor her loss-may
they still remember that their loss is infinite
gain to her, and may they endeavor to live as
she did, an exemplary christian life, and when
the summons comes TO them may il find them
like her, with their lamps trimmed and burn
ing and may they be ready to join her on the
bright shores beyond. SANTIAGO.

The whisky question has been definitely

Trustees have determined that they will not
license what ore called "cofcc houses" but
restrict the retail Of Intoxicating drinks 90

the worst cure that can bcfall a small town is
The iudiscriminatc licensing Of dam shops.
We have tried that experiment and have found
drinking and drunkenness to increase in the

demonstrating that old mercantile maxim,
"That the greater the facilities for any bust
