cate nm alarming prevalence Of cholera
in tho gulf states, and others lying i'm
mediately to the north. Fears are en-
tertained that this fatal scourse will be-
como general. Northern cities have
frequently been seriously afflicted here
tofore, and every precaution should be
taken to induce health, during the two
remaining summer months. Very much
may be done by diet and correct hab-
its. Anything giving rise to an unnat-
ural condition Of the stomach, will en-
ervate the system, and induce disease.
We should, therefore, be exceedingly
careful, and, especially Of very young
children. It is an unpleasant reaec-
ton, aud yet, it is fact, that very ma
ny Of the little ones die from inatten-
ton and neglect. Take care Of the

State Temperance Convention

State Temperance Convention
Of the State Temperance Associa-
ton, lately in session at Rochester,
among other things, tho Post gives the
following:
Rev. Mr.. Sattcrloe changed the pro-
grammc by rising to tall money mat
tcrs. The Convention wanted funds,
aud now was good time to replonish
tho treasury. In few minutes the
sum of $26l.35 was pledged, a con-
siderable portion of which was paid
down.
Mr.. Edgar arose and said that no
was afraid that everything was not all
quite right with the Convention, and
asked leave to introduce some rcsolu-
tions which he had prepared subsequent
to the afternoon adjournment. The
resolutions pledged tho Convention to
a moro thorough and earnest work in
the cause Of temperance expressed
an adherence Of the sin of drunken
ness aud the crime Of dram-sclling =;
that the only safe course is total absti-
ncncc from all that can intoxicate !;
that our largcst hopes for success in
our work rests on the proper training
of the young; that We look with great
hope on all the indications Of awaken.
cd interest ind effort in this work in
the land, and bid Godspeed to all our
sister States and like organizations in
this labor of love; that while We feel
ourselves, by the nature Of this organi-
cation, limited to the moral work, yet,
as citizens, We are ready to cooperate
with any and al lawful organizations
in any and all lawful action 70 sup.
press drunkenness ; that we arc op.
posed to the licensing Of dram shops
and are in favor Of prohibition, yet
will accept and support tho best and
most practical Legislation that can be
obtained.
The resolutions were unanim ously
adopted without debate.
The Convention adjourned.
REMARKS.
The Convention, though not az
largely attended as was anticipated,
was composed Of earnest thinking men
and women. A large amount of work
had been laid OUT, and members Of the
Convention addressed themselves reso-
lutely to their task. Among SO many
it was not strange that some differences
of opinion, as to the method aud de.
tail Of work, should exist, or tina,
those different shades of opinion should
occasionally find expression in earnest
and somewhat pointed speech. Ate,
all, the unanimity Of the Convention
on the great object and necessity oil
temperance reform, was remarkably
apparent, and We feel sure that every
member of the Convention retired
with deeper convictions of the impor.
lance of the work Of temperance re.
form and with renewed and strength.
ened purpose to labor more jealousy
in the cause.
We are gratified to state that every
effort was made by the Committee hav.
ing the matter in charge, to make al
those from abroad entirely welcome te
the Inequalities Of our citizens, and
to render their sojourn among uspleas
ant and agreeable.
