League still Lives, moves and has be
ing" and the pledge by the regular com
miftets. has been and is being circulated
with good success. Ahile now and then
one, who for want of better reason fol
mol signing the pledge, says To the ladies
if they will sign Il pledge to not lo,Ip UP
their dresses, that they will sign the tenn.
perance pledge-yet generally, the line is
drawn Temperance" or "intemperance,'
b tween those who sign and those who
refuse. The time has come when the aid
ers and abeltOrs are know, even though
they peitilog their cause with the oily
tongue of the gayest of deceivrrs and
"wear the livery OF Heaven to serge the
Devil in."
Last evening there WAS u meeting at the
! Presbyterian church. pursuant to call
for mass meeting. but from the storm
prevailing all the afternoon and evening.
tn re was not ii very large turn ont, and
yet many more than was exp ctcd. New
er was there a better showing than now
of The hold this cause has on the hearts OF
the people, generally. The meeting af0re-
said was regular conference meeting
held under the auspices of the Ladies'
Lrhgue-the officers presiding. A large
number took part in the exercises, and
much int, rest was created and manifest,
aud pnTlic sentiment, we trust, will be so
revulutiunizrd, corrected and established
ON the side of truth and right that the
min who essays to make business of
trafficing in slr0ag drink will be spurned
frnm our presence AS we do the pest house.
We have much of confluence and faith in
statements of the ones expected To sell ii.
Qunr in our town. ifany, thai they do not
do so only iOr I'm, chanIcal and medicinal
purpns s." and thus we might think we
had nuihIng To debut the reverse is The
faci in the case. Oar influence is to go
out, and with the momentum of the great
ground swell sweeping over our land, we
may hope to prove no inconsderable aux
Hilary tnrce. We want To stay up the
hands of those in our Constitutional Con-
nIiUn opposed to the license system.
W. want nothing but evil to be cUnsid, r.
ed in The ways of the liquor srller, instrad
of eleValing 10 q respectable position, as
the license system would surly do.
We had rather sickening SCENE in
town, a few days ago, in the person ola
young man said 10 live out near or in
Monroe, who, as reported, came here from
Ashiahula, in an intoxicated condition.
1t seems that his stomach was wiser than
his head, as shown by the dispatch and
thOrnughness Of its work in expclling the
noxInus drugs. In 50 doing, the poor man
sought shelter beneath the friendly roof of
b@rn, and for many hours was detained
on his journey, leaving town, as We hope,
a wiser man.
A B. Luce has just opened out new
stock goods and very confidently assures
us tina: the quality and price musl suit the
trade We wish our court practice could
obtain wherein verdict is not returned
until the evidence is all in" and thus be-
fore deciding that better bargains were to
be had in Ashtabula and Conneaut, just
drop in and take one good look, and then
we think Mr.. Luce will find you Gus

E. F. Brown sull holds out splendid in
ducement for all those desiring tn be-
''dressed ur," among the male persuasion.
When young man has reformed from
bad habits, how nice suit nf clothes
such ss Brown always kepps-hpcOmes
him. B.reber says, DRESS don't make
the man, yet nan looks n good deal brt
ter dressed up" sn we al think, and we
know Brown always thought so.
Our Board of EdncH'i0n have made pVo.
visions whereby Mr.. ] P. Treat and wife
will take charge of the High School the
coming year The present T. rE closes on
tn" 22nd inst, with The usual examina
lions and r ,elOrical exercises. Nothing
w"ull suit our people and the true friends
of education better than thai The members
OF The hoard should give their encouraging
pTrFence. We want their cordial support,
and trust we shall have il, when we are
fully "Out of the woods"
