Our Dormant Energies.

Our bodies are not as vigorous nor our minds
as clear as they might be. This remark is true
of at least two-thirds of civilized society," and of
these two-thirds probably one-half is laboring
under bodily infrmities of character likely
to shorten the lives of the sufferers. This is a
melancholy exhibit, and furnishes abundant
food for reflection. Can the evil be mitigated i?
1t Lack of vitality is the primary cause of
most of the physical and mental suffering to
which we are subjected, and therefore q vital

Last Thursday night we went with DR..
A. B. Monahan and c. K Crumit, to pre-
sent the petition to the town Council,
asking the enactment of the McConnels-
vile ordinance. We three had been an
pointed as committee for that purpose.
DR.. A. B. Monahan presented the peti-
tion, and made short appropriate ad-
dress. The Council received the peti-
ton and laid it on the table for consid-
Grafton. We then went to the NJ. E.
Church to hear the address of Mrs.
Wells, of Madisonville. After the meet
ing was over, we returned to the Mavors
office, and the council was engaged on
the Fire Department We learned that
the ordinance had passed by vote OF
five to one. Soon we heard singing on
the street, and then the women came
into the Mayors Office until It was crowd
ed, and at once they sang the long me
tire doxology, and then knelt and Mrs
Wells made a most touching and appro
pirate prayer.
The following is the vote on the new
ordinance:

We suppose there is no relief for the
mismanagement of the mail arrange
ments at this place. We have called at
tention to the matter frequently; we
have invoked the aid of our member of
Congress; but all in vain. There will be
an election after awhile, and we have
this one consolation: matters cannot be
made any worse. If the Democrats, or
Grangers or Prohibitionists can do afy
better, for heavens sake let them come
in.
As an illustration of what we mean,
Cured here last week. D. L. Morgan, of
franklin township, had made arrange
ments with US to send him by mail on
Friday some road notices, which had to
be put up in the township on Saturday,
or it would be too late for the June ses-
sion of the Commissioners. We prepared
the notices and deposited the letter con-
tanning them in the post Office in Jack
son an hour before the mail closed Mr..
Morgan sent his son to Gambia post office
to get them but they were not there, and
Mr.. Morgan had to ride to town Saturday
morning, distance of some five or six
miles, and we had to re-write the six no
tices, and all on account of the neglect
or carelessness Of some incompetent oil
drunken idiot in charge of the mails
The letter was no doubt taken past Cam
ba, and probably was returned from
Portsmouth or Gallipolis in few days
If such neglect were a rare thing, W.
could overlook it; but it is an almos
daily occurrence.

There is considerable fun attending
the cutting off of the beer in jackson
by the new ordinance For instance, one
of our leading business men who had
signed the petition to the Council, came
to us on Monday morning and begged
that we would not publish his name We
promised to strike it out, although it was
then in type.
We have been boarding at the Isham
House the past month, and on Monday
morning the boarders were late getting
in, when the genial landlord Frank
must have gone outside the corporation
to get their morning dram, and had not
vet returned.

J. H. ACTON.

The subject of the above brief memoir, died
May 8, 1874. His life was of virtue, honor,
honesty and purity, without blemish or stain
o mar his name He lived Christian life, and
died a philosophers death. While his body
was tortured with pain into paralyzed state,
his mind was clear, and he frequently spalle of
his bright prospects of happy home in the fu-
ture, beyond this vale Of tears.
Among his last words he said he was leaving
loved ones behind, but he would meet loved
ones in the land of rest, who had gone before
him.
Farewell father! We consign thy body to the
tomb. We no longer can behold thy face on
earth, nor listen to thy friendly greetings. But
we ca n, as loved ones left behind, have an abid-
ing faith, that when done with the tolls and
sorrows of earth, we will meet thee on the sun
ny banks of deliverance, where parting will be
no more. Thou hast paid the debt and we are
taught by this that there is repeal of the law
of death. The grandest monarch that lives has
no more lease on life than the frailest mortal of
Gods creation. A few more days and years
those left behind, together with all the human
family, will have to bow in submission to the
Interchangeable decree of Jehovah.
But why should we dread this decree or mur-
mur at the fixed purposes of God?
Death is but change of existence, n releasing
of n bound soul from a decaying corrupt tene-
ment of clay, taking 1t from this prison house
where 1t was fettered and befogged by sin, and
giving 1t n home and an inheritance at the right
hand of God. We, as earthly friends, then bow
i'll submission to the inexorable law, that has
released the soul from the body of one we loved,
| feeling well satisfied that Gods designs and
purposes are all fixed, and cannot and will not
be thwarted or changed by any calculation OF
decree of man. His works works of deep
unfathomable bliss, of never falling skill. He
| treasures up all His designs and works His SOW
ereign WILL May we all trust in Him.
!. J. MONAgAN.
