- Those Eastern city papers who
claim about all the refinement and in
telligence that is worth possessing, are
not yet intelligent enough to appre
ciate the brilliant fact that they are
paying, inadvertently, the highest
compliment possible, to the purity of
the hearts and souls of our Western
women, when they say that their mode
of producing great temperance refor-
nation will do well enough for little
Western villages, towns and cities,
but that it will never do for the refined
ladies of the East to join in crusade
against the greatest acknowledged
evil with which our whole country is
cursed. 1t is a compliment to the
Western women and men, to say that
the effort of the ladies will answer for
the West, but it lacks great deal of
being complimentary to the women
and men of the East, to say that the
same means that will be a success in
the West, win not be a success in the
East, also.

death of Millard Fillmore

Ex-President Millard Fillmore, died
at his home in Buffalo, on Sunday
night last. His age at his death was
seventy four years. Three weeks pre-
vious to his death he had an attack of
paralysis, which was the immediate
cause of his death. Mr.. Fillmore was
elected Vice President on the ticket
when Gen. Taylor was elected Presi-
dent, and at the death of President
Taylor, Mr.. Fillmore became the act,
ing President. His administration
was generally pretty good, though he
failed to carry out the policy demand
ed by the Whig party. During his
administration the Fugitive Slave Law
was passed, and received his sigma
ture. This was not in accordance
with the wishes of the party that
elected him, and was, in fact, the cause
of what might be termed his political
death. He was never able after that
to receive the popular favor of the
people. That act consigned him to
private life.

- The Lebanon Star has the follow
ing to say of the effects of the liquor
traffic, which we think is to the point
in regard to pauperism in this and ev-

The large number of transient pau
pers to whom temporary aid was af-
torded at the infrmary during the
month of December, may be looked
upon as one of the fruits of the hard
times Yet there is behind that more
efficient cause. Mr.. Strickler informs
us that in most of these cases, as well
as in the case of permanent inmates,
the pauperism is traceable to intern
perance. Could tax payers be induced
to figure up what the liquor traffic costs
them in money in the way of sup
porting those it has brought to de-
moralization and destitutlOn, and in
the way of maintaining courts to pun
ish crimes which result from drunken
ness, they would devise some means by
which this enormous drain upon the
