THE TEMPERANCE RAID.
A Praying Band Assaulted i'm Cleveland

Praying Band Assaulted i'm Cleveland
CLEVELAND, March 2O-The ladies visited
Prices saloon yesterday and held services on
the sidewalk. A great crowd was present
They Afterwards viseed Winter Garden, In
which they prayed. On leaving they were so
rudely treated by the mob that they abandoned
further visits to the gin mills which were con
templated, and concluded their services in the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. Two other bands made calls on West
street, meeting with no trouble
The third band, which moved up Pearl street,
was followed by large and disorderly crowd.
The ladies were assaulted with yells and insult
ing remarks when they attempted to pray or
sing, and the crowd which became larger and
more excited as they moved along, finally be-
came unmanageable, Ladies were threatened
with Violence and OF one place one was quite
severely injured. A number of gentlemen who
lnterfered in behalf of the ladies were badly
beaten. A policeman was struck ON the head
with brick while attempting to keep the mob
back, and is very seriously injured. The ladies
finally reached their homes.
The result of the days work was very dis
couraging, and it is believed the plan of pray
ing at the saloons will be abandoned. Much
indignation is expressed by the citizens at the
action OF the mob, and if the ladies continue
their work they will not lack for physical sup
port
Notwithstanding the rude treatment yester-
day the ladies came out to-day in great mum :
bers to renew crusades against the saloons on
the east Sides
Another party assembled at Lorrain street
church near the scene of yesterdays trouble to
pray. A large crowd assembled in front of the
building, and as tho ladies were leaving for
their homes they were hooted and jeered at by
the excited mob. The police assisted by q
number of gentlemen, escorted the ladies to
place of safety,
A policeman attempted to arrest one of the
crowd of roughs and fight started in which
the police were obliged to use their clubs and
made several arrests. The streets were crowd
ed with excited Germans and riot was immi-
nent, but the arrival of achievements put
matters in better shape.

DEATH OF DIR. AMOS OsGooD.-Dr. Amos
Osgood, whose name has been so well known in
the eastern part of the county for nearly half
century, died at his residence in North Var
mouth Thursday night without struggle, having
been i'll about week, at the ripe age of 50
years. When % years of age he commenced
the practice of medicine at Waterford, since
which time, until few years, he has been in
active practice After practcing IN Waterford
a year, by the advice of the father of Judge
Barrows, he went to N orth Yarmouth where
he at once engaged in an extensive practice.
He was all his life devoted to his profession
and has been as widely known and respected
as any man living in his section. He, however,
found time to devote no little attention as a cti-
zen to public affairs. He was originally
Wing, but on the organization of the Republi-
can party became an intelligent and constant
advocate of its principles. Although frequent
ly urged to do so, he never consented to take
an Office but once. In 1862 he consented to be
candidate for the House of Representatives, was
unanimously nominated and elected by ma
jority larger than that of strict party vote. In
the Legislature he was member of the Insane
Hospital Committee and of "a special committee
on hospital reform He was also selected for
the purpose of watching the interests of mill
tary hospitals then established at Augusta.
DIR. Osgood always took deep interest in the af
fairs of the town. He was q prudent counsel
lor, an exemplary citizen and a worthy man in
all relations of life.
About week since he took some cold which
possibly fastened his death, which was from
old age. His funeral will take place from his
residence Sunday at two o'clock in the after
noon He leaves family of three sons, DR..
VIM. Osgood of North Yarmouth Col Fl. S.
Osgood of Augusta and Amos Osgood of this
city. and two daughters who live in North

NEW YORK. March 20. - A dispatch from
Old Fort, North Carolina, says: Low, mena-
cling, rumbling sounds continue in volume hour
ly, with an occasional sharp discharge like ar
tilery. The first news of the volcano was
brought by an old man who kept an illicit dis
tilery, who was so frightened that he fed to
the village and asked the people to pray for
him as the resurrection was coming and he had
been cheating the Government. The neighbor-
hood is much alarmed and prayer meetings are
being held. One large rock has been split. and
vapor is issuing from its sides, and another has
been thrown several feet from Its position, and
near there is where the snow has so rapidly
melted. 81 -1fl

ANOTHER POISONING CASE. - A case of
poisoning occurred in this city yesterday,
which happened in peculiar way. A barrel
that once contained bichromate of potash was
procured from wholesale drug store to be
used as kindngs at a private house. 1t APP
pears that there was considerable of the pow
der remaining upon the inside of the barrel.
The lady of the house took some OF the slaves
to kinde the fire and in some way inhaled the
fumes therefrom. She became nearly insensi-
BILE. Remembering seeing the name of the pow
der on 1.-THE barrel, she knew that she bad been
poisoned by the same substance as were the
actors at Music Hall.
Antdotes were administered and the lady
soon began to get easier. At a late hour last
evening she was considered out of danger.
The remainder of the barrel won't be used for
kinding wood.
