u VEN TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

very Remarkable temperance movement
has broken out in the West. 1t originated in
Ohio, bnt is spreading to all the adjoining
States. and appears for the time being, at
least, to be accomplishing wonders. We refer
to the organized effort Of women, who visit
in body saloons and taverns, hold prayer
meetings. and by other means cndeavor to in
,ucc the pfoprictors to stop selling. Tho
daily papers contain kilograms from numerous
points recording the doings Of the women,
and it is seldom that they are reported as
failing in accomplishing their undertakings.
A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch to the N. Y.
Tribune says: TIC temperance war still
RACES with rlabatcd. zeal, and no serious
checks to the advancement Of the cause arc re-
ported to-day. AT London, Madison county,
the citizens held a large meeting last evening,
and SIC 900 was subscribed as d fund to prose-
cute the liquor dealers ulSiertlc Adair law -
One gentleman, who put his name down for
$4,000, offered, il needed, to make it $50 600.
At Logan, Hooking county, to day had been
selected for the opening Of the war, and this
morning an enthusiastic band gathered in the
Presbyterian Church. After brief devotional
exercises, about seventy ladies started on a
tour. Their first stopping place was at the
saloon of one Craig who barred his doors and
resolntely refused to allow them to entcr.-
Craig will be besiegcd probably as Van Pelt
was at New Vienna. Next the ladies visited
"a hard place " kept by a Madame Kanade,
in an alley. She met them with welcome,
and after n brief interview surrendered ant
promised to quit tho business This waa thei
only victory for the day, MI other dealers pos
itiyely declining to give way to their cntrea
ties. The ladies feel encouraged by their sue
cess, however, and will continue the war.
Lancaster, Fairfield county, the home o
Gen. Sherman, is apparently quiet, but Their
is evidence that the crusaders win make thei
appearance soon. No organization has We
been had there. A meeting has been Gale,
to begin the movement, and the person VIII,
circulated the call has been threatened
with assassination. At Washington, Fa
yctte county, a Mrs. Frazier, who sued
whiskey dealer under the Adair law, obtained
ajudsment for $3.50. and she has begun a sui
against Beck, a German beer seller, who il
holding the praying band in restraint with al
injunction. Mrs. Liyermore,, of Boston, de
lvered a temperance lecture in this town to
day. Beck is the last man here, and the meet
Jugs are now held in, the churches, awaiting
the result Of the suit. ,,z..., s
At Athens Athens county, a temperance
league was organized to-day, and the field
work of the campaign will begin Tomorrow
1t is thought they will find an easy, victory
awaiting them. ii At Hlley, Brown county,
the ladies' started to-day, visiting the saloons
drug stores, and every place where liquor was
sold This little town supports 90 saloons
and nearly every man visited promised tt
abandon the trade. The work will be con
tinued until none are left. The warfare ha
crossed the State line, and broken out at 10
gansport. Indiana, where meetings arc beins
held to consult upon the best means OF sup
pressing the trade there. The. State law Their
Is similar in its provisions tc the Adair law o
this State, and the work will doubtless be car
ried forward there With same results that hay
been reached in Ohio. nA 2 ai'h ntlsi 4.
