The Crusade in Morristown.

The ladies of MOrristown organized
a Temperance League few weeks ago.
The meetings have been characterized
by truly devotional spirit, and are
steadily increasing. The League
now numbers fifty ladies. Although
we have no open saloons to contend
with, we find our work none the less
difficult, and since the formation Ofthe
League some places have been brought
to light where the Intoxicating draught
has been dealt out to our boys and
young men, in such simple beverages
as 'egg-nOg,' hard cider, &c. We have
had two public meetings; both were
largely attended. The first one was
addressed by the ministers of our town.
Rev. Pringle OF Presbyterian Church
and Rev. Wright OF NJ. E. Church.
Both OF these men have by their pray
ers, counsel, and preSenre, greatly en-
cOuraged us to perSevere i'm the work
we have undertaken. Messrs. Clark,
Lippincott and DIR. Hoge also made a
few remarks, showing they were in
sympathy with the "Woman's Tenn.
perance Movement" Mr.. Lippincott
,cds the only member Of the School Board
that spoke that evening. Our last
meeting was held Monday evening in
the NJ. E. Church. The President,
Mrs. Lippincott, opened the meeting
with few well-choSen remarks, after
which an invitation was given to ali
for an expression upon the subject
Several of our old and respectable citi-
zens responded. Tioo short newspaper
articles were read. Mrs. Murdaugh
and Mrs. Metcalf addressed the meet
ing with thrilling effect. But few o.
our citizens have yet signed the pledge
but public sentiment is fast changing
and we yet hope, with firm reliance
upon God, by prayer and faith, that we
will eventually conquer, ami our vii
lage will yet he free from the blight o
intemperance. CRUSADER.

An Appeal from the Ladies' Tenn
perance League of st. ClairsviIle.
We, the members of the League, feel
that our beloved country is on the
verge of ruin from the sin of temper
snce; that yearly thousands and tens Of
thousands of men who should be
strength and support to both State and
family, are swept into a drunkard's
grave. In consequence OF this crime,
poor h elpless wives and children are
sunk in the depths of want and mis-
cry. while mothers and sisters have
the joy that should accompany life
turned into agony, because their dear
ones have stopped to I.artake of the
intoxicating cup. Feeling that these
things are 80, we appeal to each one to
inquire, what am 1 doing to eacour-
age or discourage the use of intoxica-
ting drinks? Do any of my habits cul-
tivate in myself or in others desire
for stimulants? Do / contribute in
any way towards increasing the pio-
duct of spurious liquors? Do 1 take
sufficient care in selling the grain and
fruit of my farm to keep it from being
turned into intoxicating drink ?
Many one has had his passion in
famed by using fermented cider We
earnestly entreat each one to consider
these things. May God so enlighten
the understanding and strengthen the
heart that we may see what our duty
is and be strong to perform that duty.

PROBATE COURT Jury, for May term,

How 1T STRIKES OUR NEIGHBORS.
The last Cadiz Republican says of the
late election in this place:
At st. Clairsville I. NJ. Riley was
elected Mayor over DIR. Henry West.
DR.. West has been Mayor for number
of years past. and has put into prac-
tice, in his official administration, the
principles which other temperance peo-
pie merely profess. His defeat at this
time isa shame and disgrace to the
town. We have lost all confidence in
the temperance professors of that town.
