A Sad Affair.

On Saturday morning a reservoir
of water near Haydenville, Mass,
broke loose with terrible result. The
reservoir covered one hundred and
fifty acres, with an average depth of
thirty feet. 1t was built to supply
the immense factories of Williams
burg, Haydenville, Leeds and Flor
ence, during the dry season. 1t had
been noticed that the reservoir had
been leaking for some time, but there
were no apprehensions of a break.
One hundred and twenty lives were
lost, and the loss of property will
foot up nearly 81, 100000 The towns
of Williamsburg, Skimmersburg,
Haydenville and Leeds are measura-
bly, destroyed. Houses, barns and
shops were swept away. The whole
valley of Mill River is covered with
timber, trees, pianos, tables, chairs
and furniture. The destruction is
terrible Boston, Springfield, North
ampton and other cities are sending
relief to the sufferers.

The End.

The Constitutional Convention
closed its labors last Friday, and adj
iourned sine die. 1t commenced its
work in Columbus, May 18th, 1873, a
little more than year ago. During
that time there have been one hun
dred and Lightweight days of actual
session, sixty-two of which were
spent in Columbus, and one hundred
and twenty-six in Cincinnati. The
cost to the State is about 5000, 200.
The work of the Convention will
be submitted to the people for adop-
tion or rejection on the 18th day of
August. We shall in due time furn-
ish our readers complete copy of
the instrument, that they may qualify
themselves to vote intelligently upon
the subject.
In addition to voting upon the
Constitution, the people will also be
called upon to vote for or against
three separate propositions. These
are, first, minority Representation"
second, "RaiIroad Aid;" third, "Li-
cense."
this time we have no room for
criticism. We may say that, as a
whole, we consider the new. Constitu-
ton an improvement upon the old
one. The changes we will endeavor
to point out hereafter.

Mr. EDIToR:-It has been said by
some one that every man has his
price, and | do not know but this is
pretty nearly true. True, or untrue,
it is astonishing to see how very in
significant a price some people set
upon themselves. 1t is gratifying
however to know, that there are per-
sons, who, being acquainted with
their own worth do not over value
themselves. | have heard it said that
there are persons who wish to meas
ure everybody's grain in their half
bushel, or in other words, Judge
every mans motives by the standard
they have set for the government of
their own conduct, and suppose that
because they themselves are easily
swerved from the path of virtue and
sobriety, that other persons will be
just as easily led astray. And this
class of persons are very prone to
impute improper motives for any rule
of conduct by which others may be
governed in their treatment of moral
questions, and especially, if said
mode of treatment runs athwart the
depraved passions and appetites of
the class above referred to.
1t is said that misery loves com
pany, and it does sometimes seem as
though the vile and wicked of earth
are using all their strength and Sa-
tanic ingenuity TO drag others down
to their own miserable and degraded
level. In this base attempt, how
ever, 1 hope and trust they will be
greatly disappointed. l believe, sir,
that Truth crushed to earth will rise
again." and that ultimately, Peace,
Truth and Justice will prevail.
There are some men so morally.
diseased that a dozen bottles of Mrs.
Winslow's syrup might not have the
effect so to soothe and tranquilize
their base passions that they would
pursue the right way, when perhaps
an adhesive plaster in the shape of
twenty dollar greenback, accompan-
led with a promise of all the ale and
beer they may want, might be potent
to lead them in almost any direction.
Mr.. Editor, as | have already init
mated, many persons of easy virtue
sell themselves cheaply, yet I am
glad to know there are many honora-
BILE exceptions-that many persons
keep their goods and wares for sale
but not their principles. And fur
ther, 1 hope the good old Journal in
time to come, as in times past, will
refuse to barter its principles to any
party, clique, or interest, and keep
its eye steadily fixed on the old
motto, Truth AND JUSTICE.

Temperance Trouble.

On Saturday the police of Cincin-
natl arrested forty-three ladies who
were engaged in praying in front OF
saloons in that city. They were ia
ken to the station-house where they
were slated" after which they sang
"Old Hundred" Mayor Johnson
soon came, when the ladies knelt and
prayed for him. They were then re-
leased on parole until . o'clock on
Monday morning. They then re-
turned to the Third PRESBYTERIAN
Church where they all gave in their
station-house experience. Mrs. Lea
witt upon taking the stand said
s'Mrs. S. K. Leavitt, American, 38,
stands before you" Having seen a
drunken woman in the station house
she said: at is strange that one wo-
man was in there for drunkenness,
while forty-three other women were
in there for praying to put stop to
drunkenness" The ladies declare
they will never cease their work.

city some two months ago, and has
been kept lively. The ladies tried
every means they could contrive to
cheek the sale of Intoxicating liqusrs,
but did not succeed very well. The
liquor dealers would listen to neither
threats nor prayers. But the ladies
finally succeeded in getting the bust
ness men to take the matter in hand.
A meeting was held and the best
class of business men decided that
liquor should not be sold.
A committee was appointed to no
tify the proprietors of the saloons
that their bars must be closed on or
before the 25th day of April at six
o'clock P. NJ; that if any liquor was
sold after that time they would be ar
rested and held to account for it. At
this the dealers concluded that they
had better quit the business, and at
the notified time their bars were
closed. From that hour until late at
night the streets were full of drunken
men and boys. In Hillsdale there
are fourteen places where liquor was
sold. Of these four are hotels, and
the proprietors say they will close
their houses, as they cannot make
their business pay unless they sell
liquor.
Hillsdale College is prosperous and
we are enjoying pleasant term of
school in spite of many inconven
fences caused by the fire of March
9th, which destroyed three-fourths of
the grand old college building. The
building committee have held meet
ing to determine how they shall
build-whether On the old plan or in
five separate buildings. They deci-
ded upon the latter-three of which
will be erected this summer When
these are completed We will have
much larger and better recitation
rooms and society halls than we had
in the old building. And notwith-
standing the great loss the College
has suffered, we hope that before
many years the old building will be
forgotten in the grandness of the
new. B.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-If you will al
low me space in the columns of your
valuable paper, l viii try and give
you some news from this part of the
world.
We have had a cold, backward
spring; but farmers seem to be in
good spirits, and have commenced
their spring work in earnest; some
have got their oats in the ground,
|and some haye planted their potatoes
and made garden, and if the weather
remains as warm as it now is ''truck"
will grow.
Wheat is badly damaged through
out this section of the country; there
will not be more than half crop,
But If other crops are abundant the
loss will not be felt so much. Some
prophesy very dry season; should
it be SO. it win be bad for the farmers.

THE Probibition Convention. Sa

The Prohibition Convention, Sat
urday, wisely, we think, decided to
make no nominations for the present.
1t was felt that there was something
to do just now of far more importance
than mere political action. The ques-
ton of 'license'' was to be deter
mined before election day, and the
convention felt that all its efforts for
the present should be given to the
right settlement of that question.
The fundamental law of the State is
to be fixed, and as it may last for a
life time, it becomes important that
it should be correctly fixed. 1t was,
therefore, wisdom on the part of the
convention to hold in abeyance polit-
ical action for the present, that there
might be a union of effort on the
part of all temperance people in be-
half of the right settlement of the
Constitutional enactment.
The official proceedings of the
convention may be found elsewhere.

THE Temperance women" are not
the only objects of the wrath of the
Mayor and Police Commissioners, of
Cincinnati, says the. Gazette. Rev.
Joseph Emery, we'll known as the
city missionary, was arrested on Sun
day for holding religious services in
the streets, custom which has been
in vogue for years. Says the Ga
zette:
Forty-three women accused of the
dark crime Of singing and praying
before saloons, and four city mis-
sionaries, charged with the awful
offense of holding unsectarian reli-
gious exercises on Sunday in the
streets, will be among the fragrant of
tenders who will be before Judge
Marchant to-day. Whisky-selling
has been elevated to the rank of a
virtue, it seems, while praying and
singing are shocking crimes.
