this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-

New Furniture.

The firm of Messrs. Taylor & Sharp,
has been doing good trade in the Fur
niture business. One of the firm is now
away buying new stock, and in few
days they will have their store rooms
packed with new styles. To those who
need new furniture, we would say, go
TO Taylor & Sharp, and examine their
stock. Their new goods will be on in a
few days, when our citizens will have a
chance ofgetting choice furniture at
very reasonable rates. Fine work they
sell at close figures. Call and take
look at their stock. [tf.

SLANDERoUs.-The editor of the Far
mer last week spit out a lot of his vile
venom against the speakers who ad-
dressed the Mass Meeting, on Friday
evening a week. If the gentleman
would attend these meetings, and not
rely on street rumors, he would not
publish such malicious falsehoods as he
did last week, unless he should do so
Intentionally.

| TEMPERANCE MovEMEST.-Thew work
ers in the temperance cause are still
busily engaged in their: work. The
prayer meetings are kept up tri-
weekly. Occasionally the ladies come
out OH the street and hold their meet
ings Oh the pavement as usual. These
prayer meetings are earnest, and will
no doubt do great good. The Friday
evenings Mass Meeting was very large
ly attended, the hall being filled to
oyerfowing. Mrs. DIR. Bigham presi-
ded. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev.. The first speech
ofthe evening was David F. Ewing Esq,
who discussed the license question at
some length. His arguments were to
the point, and carried the conviction
with them that license is not what the
people Of this state want. We heard
only a portion of bis speech, and con-
sequently cannot give full account of
his arguments. = =
The burden of his address was that
license was not what the temperance
loving people of the State wanted; that
1t was the dealers in liquors and their
friends that favored this proposition.
Mr.. Badgley followed with few
pointed remarks. He made some ex-
plantations in reference to what was
said on the previous Friday evening,
and the Misrepresentation of the Far
nier last week. He stated that it only
showed the weakness of the other side
when they were obliged to use slang
and slanderous language instead of ar
guments. Such language as the editor
Of the Farmer used tends only to dis
gust his readers, andweaken the cause
which he desires to uphold. He then
related Mr.. Lincoln's dog story, which
brought down the house.
After him, Rev. Mr.. Hoffman, of
Shreve, entertained the audience with
a few practical and pointed remarks.
After some other business, the audience
was dismissed, feeling that another
good nights work was done. DO
On Monday the ladies were engaged
in circulating couple of petitions for
signatures, one asking the Council of
Millersburg to pass an ordinance to
prevent the sale Of liquor of all kinds
in our town. The other, asking the
Constitutional Convention not to in
sert a license clause in the Constitution.
These petitions were nnmerously signed
by our citizens. The petition to
Council was handed in on Monday af-
ternoon at the Mayors Office, but as we
understand, DO action has yet been ta-
ken upon it, other than referring it to
committee of the new Councilmen
elect, without stating when they should
report. We trust it will be reported
back favorably in a short time, and
acted upon. We wait patiently the re-
suit. In the mean time the friends OF
temperance will work, watch, pray and
wait. a. = ~ e rss

WOMAN TO THE REscUE.--A story Of
the New Crusade, is. the title of the
popular Americasfwrit I. S. Arthur's
last work, and it is one which especial
ly commends itself to the attention of
the people at this time
1t deals directly with and wholly up
on the exciting topic of the day, hav-
ing for its subject the new woman move
ment against intemperance, and, al
though in the shape of a story, is a
most powerful argument against the
evil of which it treats. Its fidelity to
facts, striking pictures of oft-recurring
incidents, and intense dramatic effects,
will convince the most casual reader of
the truth of its arguments, and awaken
impulses which cannot fail to produce
great good to the community. 1t will
prove q real blessing and pleasure to
many, and as it carries with real bless
ing charm of interest,". it Is q work
which will be without doubt largely
read. We can confidently recommend
it to our readers as one which, whilst
they can make large circulation for,
will prove of untold value to all who
read it; and to every seo,nan who has
the slightest interest in this movement
it will be of the greatest interest and
worth. The publishers are desirous
of giving it early and large circulation,
and want agents to sch it; they will fur
nish a complete agents outfit, with
grant of territory, sl.Q0; and We strong
ly recommend any of our readers de-
string profitable employment, (whilst
they can be doing asIafse measure OF
good circulating it, to apply for an
agency at once, as we learn that choice
Of territory is being fast taken up for

pany, $50 and 1S2 w. 4th Street, Gin

wind collie, regulates the bowels, and gives

READING RooM.-No money could be
better invested i'm the town of Millers-
burg, In benevolent way, than in the
establishment of Reading Room for
the young men of our town. A place
that would be made attractive and de-
sIrable place of resort, would do much
toward drawing them away from places
of evil influences, and would tend to
prevent them from falling into habits
Of dissipation. Too many young men
are compelled to frequent saloons and
other places of inlqmty from want of a
better and more respectable place of re-
sort. We hope our citizens win not
overlook this matter, and should not
fail to remember that they are not do
ing their whole duty, unless they erect
some such barrier against the tide
which is sweeping so many young men
down into the sea of intemperance and
destruction. Furnish them pleasant
room, warm fires, and plenty Of good
literature and an occasional lecture OF
social entertainment, and our word fol
1t, you have cut off one of the strongest
holds that this disreputable liquor traf.
fic has upon them. Let US furnish then
q respectable place OF resort by al
means, and at as early day as possible

IMPORTANT TO FISHERMEN. = The
spring fishing season is at hand, but
lovers of piscatorial sporting should re-
member that it is unlawful for any per-
son or persons to shoot fish, or put in
or keep up, draw or use any fish net,
seine or pound for the purpose of catch
ing fish in any of the rivers, creeks, or
streams within this State at any point
or place above the common level at
high or back water of Lake Erie and
the Ohio river, or in the waters and
lake, pond or reservoir having a sur
face not exceeding $4,000 nor less than
ten acres lying wholly within the State,
whether the same be natural or arti-
fetal lake, pond or reservoir. The only
net that can be used lawfully is the dip
net, or any net not exceeding ten feet in
length, used for the purpose of catch
ing minnows. The penalty for viola
tion of the law may be fine of from
$40 to $50 or thirty days Imprisonment
in Jail.
