The prevalence of large quantity of inferior and
dangerous oils in the market, eli ap prioe-many
of which are little better than Naptha itse-and the
existence of false reports in regard to the PORTLAND
KEROSENE OIL, renders it a matter ofjustice to our
selves, well safety to consumers, hat some no
tce should be taken of these facts Therefore, we.
again present an advertisement and would call atten-
ton to the high standard our Oils. The REFINED
PETROLEUM, the fire test of which is 100; THE PORT
LAND KEROSENE, the fire test of which is 1875 degrees
Fahrenheit, and often reaches considerably higher
also we would say that we are determined to main
tain their long established reputation.

The Cause Of Temperance.

Some time ago the Catholic Temperance
Uuiun of Massachusetts addressed letter to
the Pope OF Roue on the subject Of temper
ance, and the reply thereto was read at the re.
cent meeting Of the society:
Beloced clil3rcu health onl apostolic Jeac,
diction: We have heard, beloved children with
great joy, not only that your State union had
met in convention, but that your sister unions
also had taken counsel together as to the most
etfrctual means of preventing the evils that
flow trou, intempcrauce. Drunkenness, 1t is
certain fosters aud stimulates every species Of
strife and wckedness, as the Inspired W ord
teaches: "Wine is luxurious thing and
Drunkenness rio'ous. Wherefore St. Angus.
tine writes, drunkenness is the mother OF
crime, the root Of vice, The wreck of chastity,
the spring Of evil, the overthrow of reason, the
ruin of the body and loathsomc disease Of the
soul. ;"
BY drunkenness, therefore, morality is vita
ted; neglect aud contempt OF divine things Is
gradually superiuduced, and, when these pillars
of Social order are shaken, public tranquility Is
j.opariized, the family is reduced to want, and
its members torn asuudcr. At last health 1t
self gives way, for he who loves wine and feast
ing will be poor and they who give themselves
to drinking will be consumed.
ln your Z,'nl, consequently, TO ABOLISH this
disreputable aud peruiciouS custom, you .!
only struggle agains: one vice, but, in your ct-
forts to stem the numb:rless evils howing from
this source. you also advance Interests Of your
religion, promote the welfare Of your fellow
mau and the prosperity of your country. And
should you, with Coos grace, prosecute the
movement to success, you will call down mani
fold blessings on your own people. For the
same St Augustine observes: ''Sobrcy IS the
mother Of all virtues = = 1t puts 10
fight sin and crime, shuns the danger Is faith
full to duty, and rlles over the homc aud the
family with care and moderation"
We exhort you, therefor 3 for the true vel
fare of your country to vigorously urge onward
the total abstinence movement under the guld-
ance of the Chmch. Thus will you, beyond
all contradiction deserve we'll of God, Of the
Church and of your tellow-mcn. We most
COZ daily wish you the largest measure of Sue
cess and the bapl les; results to your laborS,
and in token thereof, and as pledge Of our
paterna; tenderness, We r,oSt lovingly impart
to you, beloved children, and 20 all those who
viii engage in the same work with you, the
apostolic bcnodlction.
Given at St. Peters, Rome, the 4th day Of
December, 1873, tweuty-cigh.h year Of cur

VIRGINIA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHAN1
CAL, CoLLEGE.-A bill is now before the Leg
islature, asking an appropriation to enable the
trustees of the Virginia Agricultural and Me-
chanical College at Blacksburg, to erect suitable
buildings for the accommodation OF the steadily
increasing number of students at that lnstltu-
ton, the Congressional grant strictly prohibit
ing any of its proceeds from being used TOR
building or even for repairs. The second SEES
sion of the college has opened With one hundred
and eighty-six students, fifty Of whom are
rom Tide Water, fifty-four from the Southwest
and sixty-nine from Piedmont, while three at
tend from other States. The present buildings
are totally inadequate to accommodate tue
students, and are unsuited for college puTpos-
es, The first building which it is proposed to
erect is plain lodging and mess hall, with
store room and kitchen, in which accommcda-
ton shall be afforded free of all expense, to a
few picked students, who are at once willing to
give few hours of work daily, and able to
make small part Of their time worth to the
college what it will cost to feed them. When
such an institution-one that essentially meets
the wants of the industrial classes, and Is Ca
pable of becoming SO great an auxiliary to the
cause of education and the advancement OF
agriculture and the mechanic arts--s impeded
in it's progress merely for want of the proper
facilities to carry out its object, it is hoped
that the Legislature will leud a willing ear to
the appeal being made, and place this college
on an equal footing, at least, with the other
institutions of learning in the State.
