may restore the inebriate, that we may
strengthen the hands and encourage the hearts
of the reformed, that we may warn the mod
crate drinker and protect the young from
temptation, and from forming habits that, if
INDUCED in, will tend to degradation and ruin
In fine, believing in the doctrine of total alb
stinence from all Intoxicating drinks as a bey-
erage,we mean by precept, example and appro-
pirate action to use all moral means in our pow
err to maintain and enforce this doctrine at all
times and under all circumstances while we

The Superintendent of burials, Mr.. +.
Sawyer, has recently constructed plain
casket designed for preserving dead bodies
during the warm weather, while preparations
are making for the funeral, or delay is caused
by waiting for the arrival Of absent friends,
which must prove of very great convenience.
The dead body, prepared for burial, is placed
in the bottom of the casket, and over it is a
zinc tank, holding about 50 pounds of ice,
with an outlet below to carry off the water.
When the cover is screwed on, the tank or
casket is perfectly air tight, and the body can
be kept for week, without renewal of ice,
and longer, if desired, by having the ice re-
plenished., This simple but useful casket
Mr.. Sawyer states, is at the disposal of the
friends of deceased persons.

subject, and commended the wise policy OF our
Civ Council in agreeing to remit for term OF
years taxes on all buildings and machinery mat
may be appropriated to new manufacturing en-
terprises within our corporate limitG; and we
shall be prepared To- defend this measure when
ever or where oever IL may be assailed. Inc
great want OF this eity-the great want OF our
State, indeed, is manufactures.
We need more capital and skilled labor In this
varied branch of industry to insure the prosper
ity which we may reasonably anticipate If
wise policy shall be pursued by our State and
municipal governments. Citing the case OF our
own city for example it requires little argu-
ment to prove that If, within the next ten years
we should succeed in establishing large manu-
factories here, the aggregate wealth, DUST
ness, and population would De argely
augmented. These secured, the burthen OF TAX
alton would be lightened and we should be able
TO improve and beautify the city in various ways.
Nor would Lynchburg alone derive benefit from
this increase of population, wealth and business,
DOR the whole country within radius of many
miles would feel the stimulating effect OF cont'
guilty to large and prosperous city.
Lands would be augmented in value. a
home market would be provided for All
ttha the farmer has to sell and the price OF his
commodities, especially those OF pefishaDle
character, would be uniformly better. Inc
State also would derive advantage, in various
ways, but notably in the enlargement OF the
basis OF taxation and the consequent d1minution
of the rate of taxes which such increase OF
pros perity throughout her borders would insure
These fundamental principles in political
ecoonmy are SO plain and obvious that we need
not enlarge upon or argue them. They are pat
ent to all observers .. ... 1T. /.
