It has been four years before the public. and

Resolutions.

A special meeting of the Vestry Of Cal
vary Church, Tarboro, n. c., was called
by the Rector on the 18th of June, to give
an expression of respect to the memory
of Mr.. Russell CHAPMAN, who departed
this life on June 7th, 1874.
Our departed brother had been a member
of this Church and the Secretary of this
Vestry for 81 Years, and for "a years a
Warden of this Parish. He had always
the interest and prosperity of the Church
at heart and was faithful in the discharge
of every duty and obligation which was
upon him as member of the Church OF
Christ and of this Vestry.
The loss of one so long and so intimately
connected with the progress of this Parish,
cannot but awaken in our hearts emotions
of sympathy and sorrow, and while we &C
knowledge the wise Providence of God in
| taking him from amongst us, We also owl
| the Divine Goodness which has made hin
for so many years quiet and steady helpel
| in every effort to promote the good OF th'
Church and the spread of the truth of tht
Gospel in this Parish.
Therefore, it is unanimously resolved, by
the Vestry, That in the death of our frient
! hliSi uAOeAACl Al SIhiot, NC lCouLS thS 100
of consistent, faithful and useful membe
of the Church, whose unobtrusive and quie
christian character commanded the reSpec
of this community, and insures our lastin!
remembrance.
Resolved, That in the life of our depart
ed brother, in the christian patience ant
resignation to tie will of God with whicl
he bore the pains and WEAKNESS of a pro
tracted sickness, and in the peaceful an
willing spirit with which he departed ou
of this world, We have comfortable as
surance that he is delivered from all tn
evils of this life, and has passed into tn
rest and bliss of the Paradise of God.
Resolved, That the proceedings of thi
meeting be entered upon the record of tn
acts of this Vestry as lasting testimonit
of the high appreciation we have for til
memory of our departed brother.
Resolved, That copy of these proceed
ings be published in the Churchman, an
the Enquirer -Southerner, and also cop
be sent to the relatives of the deceased.
BY order of the Vestry.

SToNEwAII BASE BALI Cur. .-Pur-
suant to a call by = the Ex-Secretary,
the young men of Tarboro held a meeting
On Monday evening last for the purpose OF
recognizing the Stonewall Base Ball Club.
The meeting was, on motion, called to
order by making Jno. W. Cotton, ESQ.,,
temporary chairman and requesting Mr..
Fl. Irwin Clark to act as Secretary. The
chair then called upon MIR. Walter p.
Williamson to state the object of the meet
ing, after which those present desiring to
connect themselves with the club were re-
auested to come forward and enroll Their
names as members. Twenty respond
ed. Nominations for permanent officers
being in order, the following gentlemen
were respectively nominated, and, upon
motion of Mr.. Williamson, elected 1)y ac-
clamation.
President-Jo Blount Cheshire, Jr.
e-President-JnO. w. Cotton.
Secretary-H. Irwin Clark.
Treasurer. Shep. Royster
Captain-Frank 8. Baker.
The President on taking the chair thank
ed the members in few courteous and ap-
propriate remarks for the honor they had
conferred upon him. An executive COM
mittee consisting of the Vice President and
Messrs T. p. Cheshire and Frank Nash
was appointed. Also ON melton the Presi-
dent appointed committee of three to
draw up code, of Bylaws for the gov
ernment of the club to be submitted at its
next meeting for ratification. Messrs.
Williamson, Cotton and Powell were
named as the committee, and on notice
the President was included. The execu-
tive committee was instructed to procure
forthwith full supply of balls, bats and
other aceoutrements. 1t seems to be the
of the club to take such steps
as will enable it to success
fully contend for the championship of
East Carolina. Judging from the material
they have out of which to select "a first
nine, " no doubt they will soon prove them
selves the champions not only of the East
bu. of the whole State.

For the Enquirer -Southerner.
La Alcohol Food /?

ME-. TOIToR In your notice of my
lecture Ii your town, you seem to think
my position an extreme one, which cannot
be sustained. l do not purpose to argue
the question now, as it would perhaps,
consume more time and space than you
would be willing to devote to its discus
sion ; but will at some future time, %.
V. deliver a second lecture in Tarboro' ON
the question which heads this article
At present viii only remark that l fatty
deny that alcohol is food, in any proper
acceptation of the term; and that your
position, held in common by some others,
takes all the wind out of your temperance
| sails, and comedies all that the opposition
demands. If it be food to a certain extent,
and beyond that point a poison, where
shall we fix the boundary line? and who
shall fix it?
Pure alcohol is not used as beverage
by any one, and different liquors possess
it in different degrees. Its chemical ele-
ments are found in many other substances,
not fit for food any more than gun pow
der is, Alcohol is a poison, and can moi
be safely used except as a medicine, or as
other poisons are used.
| The Journal of Chemistry BOSTON, says
"Alcohol acts lnharmoniously with vital
process in the animal organism" This is
high authority. And as food is that which
feeds, nourishes and strengthens the sys
tenn, whatever "acts inharmoniously will
the vital processes" cannot be classed will
food, though it be composed of hydrogen
oxygen and carbon. Food makes blood
flesh, bones, nerves, brain, &C.; bu
alcohol destroys these instead of build
ing them up ; and hence is not food.
But did not design to argue this ques
ton now, and will close by saying, ther
is no middle ground on this question ant
if temperance men expect to succeed il
their warfare against alcohol, they mus
not begin by concediug the main point il
dispute, and thus neutralize all their argul
ments IN favor of prohibition. My posi-
ton is, that alcohol is not food, in an
proper use of that term; ana that while i
, some cases it may puff up, the fat it pre-
duces is watery, unhealthy, diseased an
> analogous to that of swine fed on still
slops, which is unfit for food.

NATIVE TALEST.-We take the follow
ing complimentary notice OF Miss Moilie
Bell, of Washington, sister of Mr.. J. H.
Bell of our town, from the Raleigh News
of the 10th inst.
We saw at the Marlborough House yes
terday several specimens of crayon draw
ings, representing statuary work of some
of the most renowned sculptors of the old
world, executed by Miss Mollie Bell, of
Washington, N. c. They have been close
ly inspected by hundreds, and the univer-
sal opinion is, that they are truly gems of
art, and could only have been executed by
one possessing most extraordinary talent.
When quite child, only twelve years OF
age, Miss Bell formed from white clay, q
beautiful piece of statuary, representing a
sleeping infant, which is now in her moth
er's possession, and treasured beyond 9
price.
Judge Reade of the Supreme Court, OBJ
serving the superior talents of the young
lady, prevailed upon her mother to sene
her to Cooper's Institute, where she would
have better advantages to develop her tai
ent. At the end of five months, she wa
rewarded with medals that represented q
greater degree of proficiency than young
| ladies who had been in the Institute TO
five years. Miss Bell is now in the city,
guest of Judge Reade and lady at the Var
boro House, and though quite young, Eye
in her teens, appears in company as Al
accomplished middle-aged, well-ballancet
lady, exhibiting superior order of intel
lect, and greatly admired by all who's
pleasure it is to enjoy her company. Mort
Carolina will yet in our opinion, be prou'
to acknowledge Miss Bell as one of he
daughters.
