WAS delivered Ia the school hall, corner
OF Third and Vino streets last night. The
audience was quiet, aud the lecture de-
livercd In good style. w. can only give
a few leading points, oDaccount Of our
limited space. Among other points adj
'vanccd, the lecturer argued That drunk
cnncss excludes from heaven just as
much Is f0rnicati0n, murder and other
crimes, and quoted st. Paul to the Cor
inthians, chapter s., verse IL, in confir-
nation Of his position. lie argued that

and young women should lead lives of
sObriety. BE temperate in all things"
Ii we arc given prey to intcmper-
ancc, We are easy victims to murdcrOus
action. lie could read for half a year
extracts from the learned st. Augustine,
as well as other Fathers OF the Church
who wrote Catholic doctrines directly
against insobriety. That the Church had
not deviated, and what she taught in the
first ages she still clings to and holds up
to-day, and that there is discussion in
the matter Of opposition.
Sobricty preserves the chastity of the
mind. Temperance is cardinal virtue,
and without it there are many other vir-
tues that cannot exist floods law
docs not inculcate the virtue Of temper
ance, then he misundertamds the laws Of
the Church. In the first place, the doc
trinc of the Catholic Church abhors in
Temperance is cardinal virtuc. around
which many another virtue clusters, and
so is intcmperance cardinal virtue.

The sins, and sorrows, and sufIerings?-
Who will count the murders. the parent

Crumbling at Newspapers.

1t is strange how closely men read the
papers. We never say anything that
anybody don't like, but we soon hear OF
it. II, however, once In while, we
happen to say good thing, we never
hear Of that; nobody seems 10 notice
that. We muy pay some man a hun
dred compliments, and give him dozen
puffs, and he takesit as q tribute to his
greatness, and he never thinks of IL
never thinks it does him any good But
il We happen to say things this man
don't like, or something that he ilnagincs
is reflection on him or his character,
see how quick he flares up and gets mad
about 1t.

On Tuesday, another old citizen, Mr..
J. Buchier, in view Of the coming tenn

Town Marshal Lewis Miller, Of Hunt

On Tuesday night, III view Of Lent

The Farm and Printing Once.

Subscri bers, (somo Of whom are two
years in arrears with their subscription
how would you like to do business on
the following principles:
"When your corn crop is ripe allow
all the citizens ofthe country to 60 to the
field and each take two or three bushels.
no one paying for it. Or, to make it
better, suppose only the men who are
respon sible should he allowed to carry
away the corn. To carry the principle
further, suppose the entire crop Of corn,
wheat, oats, rye, apples, potatoes, hay
and anything else raised were distribu-
ted the same way.
We are supposing the men who get
these articles arc entirely responsible
but they don't pay at the time, they don't
give a note, they are expected 10 pay at
their convenience.
How long could any farmer keep out
Of the poor house if he followed any
such style Of business?
And yet newspaper men are expected
to do this very thing. They are cxpcc-
ted to have farm OF type, presses, pa
per, &C., and to distribute the crop all
over the country in little dribs that it
will pay no man to collect.
DO You think they could stand all
that and he able TO pay their hands OF

unreasonable? If you think news

licvc the editor will ran away or fail be-
fore the year 10 out, 60 right up IN the Of
fee and pay in advance. You will thus
make him easy, and instead Of borrow
ing money from banks and ncighbors,
instead Of spending one-third Of his
time hunting money to pay his debts. he
can pay everybody promptly and have
ell his time to make his paper better.
Remember the old addage: "Poor

THREE men, and an existing check,
and q book, testify that
Ames gave Colfax 81 200 in June, 1853
Within a day or two after this alleged
receipt COlfax deposited in the bank
81, 200 in bank-notcs. Colfax denied the
soft impeachment, and claimed to have
received this $1,000, $1,000 from . Mr.,
Nesbitt, and the remaining $500 from
his step-father. But it turns out that the
thousand dollars from Nesbitt was de-
posted on the 18th Of July, and not on
the ed of June, and fair presumption
Is established that his stp-father did not
receive that $500 until the csth of June.
Colfax has been the indirect cause Of
more additions to the population of
America for the last eight years than
any man In the country Thousands Of
admiring women have given birth to
children, praying In advance that they
might be boys, that they might name
them The little Schu yler Colfax. Schuy-
Ter Colfaxes under eight years Of age
exceed in number the John Smiths Of
all ages. Petitions, It is said, are pouring
in on the Legislatures of several States
for q change Of namo In most OF these
cases, and Inquiries are making whether
any American statesman can be found
since the hero Of the hatchct story whose
honesty will bear scrutiny. For safety,
