Ed. JotRNGL;-It has been some time since
we have seen any news from MAbury iu
your valuable paper, before last week, and
then only an account Of meeting Of the citt-
zeps of Lake township to oppose certain
bill before the Legislature. Mr.. Baileys
statement about the excitement IN MIllbury
was correct, and we think not without oanse
for IL there had beou any territory Of Lake
township Included in the bill, as was stated
In the papers, 1t would be the most valuable
property in the township. We would guess
that one section of land in that corner Of the
township, with It's personal property, brings
more tax into the township, than ten or twelve
sections in some other parts of Il, and by
looking at the map Of the county we think
Lake township has no territory to spare
without injuring herself. Lake has laid in
the back ground for number Of years, ow-
ing to a wrong, prevailing idea that IL was
poor, wet, low land. But IL is Just the reverse.
IL any person will walk over the township they
will find more good, high aud dry land than
in any othor twp. in the county. There are
six creeks that runs o ut of North end Of twp,
whose bauks are from FIVE to twelve feet
high aud why they are not marked in our
county map is more than | can tell. 1t makes
said map imperfect.
But now old things are passing away and
Lake is putting on her beautiful garments Is and
will be and is now one of the best and
wealthiest in the county, which can be seen
by referring to the tax duplicate. And our
citizens are improving with the township.
Our village is growing fast; there are sew
erOl new buildings now under construction
and many more will be built next summer
In five years from now we predict that Mill
bury will have 2, 500 inhabitants.
There has been protracted meeting here
for some time past. II is now nnder charge
of the United Brethren, but all denominations
turn in and take part. Union and harmony
is the motto in religious matters at Milbury
which is as ii should be.
Mr.. Editor, to give you some idea Of the
business that is done at Milbury, will give
you the figures of one months account in ouI

ICSTAR, v. March A. 1874.
ED. JOURNAL The whskey war is pretty
well established in quite a number of localities
in several States, rapidly growing and no
doubt accomplishing a great deal Of good.
Whether this Woman's Movement is the best
| know not, but one thing we will have To ad-
nit, that it is the best until we--the weaker
sex, and cowardly set-can offer something
better.
The Male portion of the Citizens Of Ohio
and other states have been endeavering to
throw a law around the liquor to fence it in for
many years, and have failed to accomplish
any decided results by all the Legislation
that has been done, aud n)w the Ladies' come
forward and in very short time, By faith and
works combined have accomplished more in
destroying the evils of incmperance than have
been accomplished by ees lation aud the male
portion Of citizens in long series of years.
| have one suggestion to make to the ladies
engaged in this work, and that is, to raise
two armies, each of not less than FIVE til u-
sand aud march one to Columbus and one to
Cincinnati to be stationed around the State
house and pray for the Legislature, day after
day, until they will be persuaded to pass a
prohibitory law and at Cincinnati at the
Hail of the Cor stitutional Convention until
they shall put a clause in our Constitution
prohibiting the manu- iacture and sale in tins
State.
| And while ministers are on the Lords day
| preaching and PRAYING for Temperance,
would il not be well for delegation Of La
dies (praying unes) ON Monday and Tuesday
before the election, to wait on Ministers OF the
different charges in the county aud pray
for and labor with them and see that on Tues
day they vote as they prayed.
Suppose house was on fire aud the little
ones were about to perish in the flames and
neighbors would rush To the rescue and there
! find the father kneeing by the pump and
! praying with upturned eyes TO the Lord to pus
out the fire and save his children. Would
that not be solemn mockery? Then why
should m inisers pray for God to stop drunk
snness and on Tuesday vote to increase druak
enness 1t is only an insult to our Creator.
We have the power and that is tue ballet.
and say ladies pray on for there are more
to be converted than the rumseller and the
dram drnker. More anon. JUSTICE.
| P.S l notice that there is to be n meet
! ing of the Temperance Central Committee at
Toniogany on the 18th inst. Let all Temperance
men aud women in the county be present, il
possible, aud take part in the deliberations
OF said meeting, for it is the cause Of human
! ity. While, our neighbors and friends are
falling let us to the rescue; let us not waite
when will we be stronger; will it be next
week or next year. The enemy is already
forging the chains and strengthening his
grasp to ruin our sons and brothers aud
fathers and bring our mothers, wives, and
sisters to shame and misery. Arise brothers
aud sslers-let us do our duty and tue results
will be glorious. J.

How women Take to Poiygamy.

Mr.. John Goldman has published a
book in New York, ON Polygamy in
Utah. We make the following ex-
tract:
"The women themselves are not
adverse to polygamy. Among the
working classes in the country they
say it promotes a division of labor.
The Utah farmers wives do not have
the overworLed air of the women of
our country districts, who are obliged
to singly bear all the children and do
all the work of the family.
"I was astonished to hear polygamy
advocated by ladies of education and
refinement; among them school
teacher who strongly favored it. per-
haps because she was no longer young.
AT hotel where / was staying | met
young married lady of one of the
first families of Salt Lake. Two of
her intimate friends were with her.
One day when they were out of the
room she asked me: 'What do you
think of Al" 'tShe is a charm
ing girl" I replied. Indeed she isl
exclaimed Mrs. B. do wish
B, Cher husband) would marry
her. [ should so like to have her with
me all the time !"
"rhe Mormon ladies believe that in
the other world married woman ar
rives at higher sphere than an un-
married one, and that woman who is
willing that her husband should have
another wife has still higher place.
The men share in the same belief, and
think that the more wives they have
the happier they will be in the future
al know bishop who said that he
really did not want to take a second
wife, and his wife did not wish him
to marry again, until they both prayed
often and fervently over it, and at last
became convinced that their eternal
welfare would be promoted by the
process, and then they concluded to
have another woman in the family. /
noticed, however. that the conscian-
tious bishop mitigated his reluctance
by selecting Young and pretty girl
for his self-sacrifice and spiritual good.
sStrange as it may seem, the ar
rangement seems to work better when
the wives are sisters. 1t is not un-
common fer man to marry several
of them. Perhaps it is for the sake
