Temperance.
A SUGGESTION.

Mr.. EDITOR: think see beam of light in
our political horizon. If it means anything, it is
desire of revolution in our Incorporate camp,
by legislative enactments. j think it is thing
very much needed, for the prosperity of our be.
loved country, and l think the harvest is rpcn-
ing, five can find any one with heart enough TO
enter the harvest field and endure the fatigues OF
the harvest. | have looked to the ministry OF
the nation for n result different from what they
have accomplished, but thankful for what has
been done, hail with joy the idea that the NOR.
al men of the nation are ready to shoulder the bur-
den, if they can only organize under a sufficient
leader, for the hot blast of Incorporate breath,
that will be hurled against them. have looked
at our temperance societies as too Incorporate
to become universal. You will understand me
better when say that total abstinence is not
temperance. | would advise the idea of pledge
of temperance in all things, and making the re.
taller of spirituous liquors responsible for the
crime of the man he intoXicates. The argument
will here arise that our license is source of rev.
enuc that we cannot do without, for the support
of our government. They forget that the proper
ty and lives they destroy would pay more reve.
nue. than any system oflicense that could be in.
vented without considering the souls they damn
to perditlonand the costs of law suits they bring
before our tribunals. Let some live man of each
neighborhood publish time for meeting and
organizing not only system of temperance, but
oimoral and religious education, by debating OF
other educational entertainments, and | think
their calls will be respected. Hoping, Mr. Edi
tor, that these ideas will meet with your appro
baton as well us that of your readers, ! remain
yours respectfully, by wishing that it may be AZ
entering wedge to future prosperity.

Dedication of a Church.

Mr.. EDIToR The dedication of Providence
NJ. p. Church took place on Saturday, February
9th, in accordance with previous notice. The
day though clear, was extremely cold and bus-
tcring, and the condition of the weather excited
painful apprehensions in the minds of those i'm
mediately interested in the enterprise. But at
the appointed hour the house was filled with
most interesting and appreciative congregation
The morning services, consisting of the dedica-
tory services, were conducted by Rev. Dr. Swent-
zell, followed by an eloquent, appropriate, and
impressive sermon from the text, "The glory of
this latter house shall be greater than the former
house." by Rev. T. ID. Valiant. The collection
was then lifted, which reached nearly three hun
dred dollars. AT night Rev. DR.. Swentzell dis.
coursed with his usual fervor and eloquence, on
Religion and Reason as hemispheres, forming
unitedly, u perfect sphere, which only furnishes
the true development ofperfect humanity.
The collection in the evening reached the sum
asked by the Building Committee, to free the
church of debt, 1926. John Divers, Esq, then,
on behalf of the said committee, presented the
house to the ministers officiating to be dedicat-
ed to God This was then done in the impress
sive ritual ofthe church, the doxology was sung,
and after the benedction all retired to their
homes, gratified and pleased at the results of
the days incidents.
By the generosity of Mr.. Divers, the congrcga-
ton has been presented with an Estey Organ,
costing $3.50. This, 1t is the purpose of Mr. D.,
to make the property of the church, should
the latter agree to receive and use it, From the
Improvement In the singing of the congregation,

FIRE-PROoF SToNE.-We have been shown
a specimen ofbuilding stone from the neigh
borhoed of the Rocks of Deer Creek, in this
county, which, it is believed possesses suf.
ticicnt hardness to make it valuable as build
ing material, and which is at the same time
fire-proof. The U. s. government is engag-
ed in examining and testing various kinds of
stsne, for the purpose of discovering one that
will unite the properties of sufficient hard
ness to be dressed to q smooth face, and will
also withstand the effects of fire without
crumbling to pieces Mr.. William GLADDEN.,
to whom the specimen we were shown be-
longs, is confident that in the neighborhood
of the Rocks of Deer Creek the desired arLi-
Gle can be obtained, in large quantities. A
small specimen already sent to Washington
has met with favor, and larger one was de-
sired, in order to test its power of resistance
under pressure. The sample we saw was a
bluish-gray stone, sometimes called gray
granite, and on being crushed, shows no grit.
If this stone should prove to be what is
desired by the government, we fear that the
Crooks of Deer Creek" with their traditional
"Queen's Seat" and the gathering place OF
her dusky warriors, will soon be leveled
TO the stream.

THE REPUBLIC OF SPAIN.-The whirligig
of time brings about strange things. King
Amadeus, of Spain, formally abdicated the
throne, on the 18th inst, and Republican
form of government was Immediately declar-
ed by the Cortes. The new government has
been greeted with enthusiasm by the people
but the habit of changing rulers in Spain has
became so chronic that the new republic,
like its monarchical predecessors, viii, we
fear, have but II short life.

ing Report
We have in the discharge of our duties
examined So witnesses; and have found

A number of cases of violation of law
have come before US where we have deem
ed the evidence insufficient.
We have also, in accordance with the
requirements of the law, visited the Jail
We find confined therein prisoners. a

Woman. One for Rape, for House break
ing, 2 for obtaining goods under false pre-

ing out an unexpired term.
1t is unnecessary for us to enlarge upon
the condition of the Jail, as former Grand
Juries have fully expressed our opinion of
Its merits. We will say, however, that we
think our efficient Sheriff uses every means
within his power to make the miserable
structure as comfortable for the prisoners
as it is possible to do.
We are gratitied to find that some of the
improvements to Court House, recommend
ed by the former Grand Jury have been
carried into effect, and to learn that other
necessary Improvements are in contempla-
ton. We think it unnecessary for us at
this time to offer airy suggestions
Thanking the Court and all its officers
for the uniform kindness exercised towards
us, we are very, respectfully,
