Dear i&r-Your Favorite Prescrip-

fidence in ii that would be perfectly
willing 10 warrant to certain customers

THE Gazette of last week in an article
commenting upon the actions of GER
tain class of people in this community,
saws: ssWere this a town where law
and order were enforced by the guar
dians of the peace, these low-bred
scoundrels would spend tbree-fourths of
their time in the lookup"
1t is true asis alleged, that this place
for many years, until recently, has had
the reputation of being quiet and Or
derly town. Why the change? Until
within the past year it had Mayor
who stood up against every species of
violence; who watched with eeaseless
vigilance to preserve peace and good
order In the village; who enforced
without regard to public favor or pop
lar clamor, the laws and ordinances of
the village, and who set his face stern
ly against every kind of iniquity in
whatever shape. War was waged
against him time and again by the ad-
vocates and apologists> for this slow
bred scoundrelism," and as often did
the thinking, order-loving class OF the
community rally to his defense and
sustain him. The devil, as willy as
when he induced Eve to eat of the for
bidden fruit in the garden of Eden, hit
upon another plan, and brought uncon-
sciousIy another force to assist to aid in
breaking down the influence and pow
or of the only man in the village WHO
had the courage to stand between the
people and the outlaws and brigands OF
the community. How well these COM
bined forces have succeeded the sequel
shows, and how far the devil has tri-
umphed the midnight revels and
drunkea brawls upon our streets, will
attest.

According to previous announce
ment meeting Of citizens was held in
the M. E. Church on Saturday evening,
to take some action for the suppression
ofiutemperance. After several speeches
and passing around of the pledge, to
which a number of signers were OBJ
tanned, the meeting adjourned until 2
o'clock Monday.
Monday came and with it a large at
tandance on the prayer meeting; Rev
Sweeney presided. Stirring speeches
were made and earnest prayers offered
Up invoking success in their work
Some preliminary steps were had when
the meeting adjourned until Tuesday
at 2 o'clock.
Punctually at the hour of two next
day. the original movers in the good
cause were on hand and the numbers
were largely increased by accessions
from the most respectable and wealthy
ladies of the community. 1t was re-
solved to form tGdies temperance
LEAGUE. The meeting was organized by
calling Mrs. Dove to be temporary
President, after which Mrs. Rev.
Marshall was elected permanent Presi-
dent. We are not informed as to the
remaining officers. Plans for action
were discussed and it WAS decided for
the present not to engage in a street
crusade. COMMITTEES were appointed
to talk to the people and to induce the
earnest cooperation of the best citizens
of the place to visit the drug stores and
saloons, and learn what they were will
ing to do, and to secure signers to the
pledge. Meetings are to be held each
day.

CENT,REVILLE LOCALS.

EDITOR CHRONICLE-Fcaring some
of the erroneous reports concerning the
death of Mr.. Cyrus McGaughy, of this
village, which occurred on Tuesday,
18th ult., may reach you, will briefly
report the facts:
Mr.. McGaughey left his house, in
Centreville, the early part of Tuesday,
walked out to his daughters (Mrs.
Daniel Myers, II miles, arriving there
near 10 O'Clock; sat down in a rocking
chair, cOnversed freely with his daugh-
ter, holding small twig in his hand.
Fifteen minutes had not passed when
Mrs. Myers noticed a death-like pale
ness of her fathers face, and immedi-
ately sprang to do something for him,
but he was dead. There was no an
swer to his daughters beseechiDg cries,
so, pa, what can 1 do fer yOu?" At
this time there was no one i'm the house
but Mrs. Myers, her two small chill
dren, and the dead father. She seized
the smallest child and ran to her near
est neighbors (Mr. John Gladden's),
who speedily ran to the house, and
there Mrs. Myers found the deceased
parent Just as she Lad left him. Your
correspondent got there some time af-
ter o'clock the same evening, and as
sisted in the care of she corpse that
night, and part of the next day, and
was relieved by Rev. s. III. Wallace.
All through the night of Tuesday We
used over the face cloths saturated with
whisky, sacratus, in order that the face
should be natural as possible. The bu-
rial was to take place on Thursday, but
during the care of the corpse on We'd
nesday night, some conceived the idea
that there were symptoms of life. We
sometimes hear of incidents of this
kind, but perhaps this is the first of
the kind in this county, and to be in
the midst of one, 6here such hopes
cling to the hearts of children and
friends is truly indescribablc.
The circumstances giving rise to this
conception of life-or hope of life--in
this case, was that the face changed du
ring Wednesday night, or early Thurs
day morning, from paleness to red
flush, which was truly. so; but this
changing no doubt was produced by
the disinfectives and applications that
were used to keep the corpse perfect as
possible.
Mr.. Wallace had been with the corpse
several times, as we'll as other persons,
who were positive that the above as
related was the true cause of this
change. The immediate friends of the
deceased decided not to bury the corpse
until Friday, or until it was beyond all
doubt that he was dead.
The funeral took place on Friday, to
r. &C. a 4.
tions were without foundation.
Mr.. McGaughey was one of our high
ly esteemed citizens, and his presence
with us will be greatly missed.
