Mr.. Keeble st, .ed that large num-
Der of his c0nstitLes e Is had urged him to
oppose the bill, as Ine Office was very
lucrative one, and the giving of its APP

was passed over informally.

s3y- In the hurry of making up our paper
last week we omitted any notice of the tenn
perance meeting at Lyceum Hall, on the Sun
day previous. The meeting on that occasion
was addressed by Chas. A. Skillman, Esq,
who made forcible speech in favor of local
option, which was listened to with unusual
interest.
On last Sunday afternoon, John II. Ander-
son, Esq, delivered short address at Lyceum
Hall, on the question of "local option" 1t
was a straightforward, sensible speech of one
whose long observation on the evils of intern
perance entitled his opinions to respect and
consideration. We hope to hear him again
on the theme he suggested. e., the strug-
giles and difficulties of the temperance cause
years ago and the progress that has been made.
He was followed by Rev. w. Walton in a few
timely remarks. The singing is very plea
SAINT feature of these meetings. and is credit
able to those taking part in it.
On next Sunday afternoon, another meeting
will be held, to be addressed by one or more
citizens of our city. The meetings will not
be extended over an hour in length and a
general invitation is given to all persons,
whether opposed to or in favor of the object,
to attend.

FOr
LOCAL" OPTION.

Mr.. EDITOR The local option humbug is
agitating the minds of some fanatics in this
place again, and meetings are holding to try
to get up an excitement, but, Mr.. Editor, the
affair won't work. People have drunk liquor
for time immemorial, and when it has been
tried to legislate it away, it has failed-folks
won't be dictated to as to what they shall eat
and drink and wear ; and such laws only make
more drinking, and it is piece of tyranny to
try to make everybody think as they do. l
think it is time the business men who are in
terested in the sale of liquor come out and let
folks know they don't intend to be trampled
ON and defend their property, which is endeav-
ored to be injured by this unrighteous law.
1t is to be seen, Mr. Editor, that the man who
got his living by minding his own business
didn't join the local option party, who are at
tempting to destroy the best hotels of the
country and make travellers pay exhorbitant
prices for meals, &c. If you will allow, Mr..
Editor, l will say something more ON the
subject soon. Yours, A. H. \.

PRESENTS TO THE Charlottesville. j. f.
Boozer gave out his presents to the children
of this city Gas has been his custom for years
past) ON Christmas morning. Before eight
o'clock, A. M.,-the time announced for com
mencing the work,-the children began to
gather at Boozer's Union Buildings, and they
came ON in steady stream, until at the close
of the day. twelve hundred and sixty children
had been waited on. Each child received a
paper bag, containing cakes candies, peanuts,
raisins and bright two-cent piece. Large as
was the number that called, it was not as large
as last year, when fourteen hundred and sixty
