During the time the Revenue Col
lector for this District was in our city,
twenty nine special taxes" were is
sued to drug stores aud Wholesale and
retail liquor dealers. We have. ten
drug stores in our city, three in Ha
gerstown, two in New Garden, making
over half that number paying this
special tax, drug stores. We have
heard of several persons mentioning
this twenty nine circumstance. as
an indication that liquor selling and
liquor drinking were on the increase
in our city-and that the effects OF the
crusade" were deteriorating instead
Of exterminating- If our recollection
serves US, there were about SEVENTY
special taxes last year from dealers IN
liquor-including drug stores-In TINS
city Alonel This shows falling Oft
of forty-one in special liquor taxes, IN
one year. which we think is source
of encouragement to every temper
ance man and woman to continue the
aggressive war, with every lawful and
available weapon that can be brought
into use against this monster vice of
intemperance.

The year 1874 must ever remain
memorable in the calendar as year
which witnessed movement unequal
ed in the history of the United States;
a grand uprising of the women of
free land, the o-workers with man,
and the sweetner ia life's feast, linked
together in one bond to put down a
cause which is robbing their brothers
of their true position in the human
family, casting blight over . the
hearths and homes of civilized ma
ton, filling the jails, the poor houses,
and the lunatic asylums, and paving
the way for the frenzy of despair and
the elimination of human passion,
whose final portion is the gallows. 1t
was to be supposed that such a work,
more especially in the larger cities,
would meet with opposition, Violence
and the enmity of interested men; but
the wedge has been inserted, and from
every quarter the most encouraging
results have been reported. 1t does
not, therefore, occasion Us surprise to
receive the opening number of peri
odical which, if it progresses as it has
begun, is destined to perform a great
work, and silently, but surely, to strike
a crushing blow at the gilded curse
which greets us at every turn. Mrs.
{. V. Waite, who has taken the helm
OF this new enterprise, IS lady well
known for her zeal and energy in all
that concerns the welfare of her sister
hood, aud her ability and force in con-
nection with the grand crusade of the
nineteenth century. The Crusader is
designed to be family paper, in the
interests of women and the moral pu-
rifcaton of mankind. The day has
passed when women sintellect receives
contempt from man. Too many bright
names adern the ranks of science, lit
erature and art; and barbarism, never
more distinctly defined than in its
degradation of mans better self, has
given place to an equality of thought
and work in which women, although
physically the weaker vessels. are very
apt, unless the rum shops are speedily
closed, to take the lead in intellectual
and creative force. The first number
of the Crusader is in every way cred
table to the journalistic taste and
ability Of Mrs. Waite and her co-edi-
tor, Mrs Nj. f. De Geer. Its articles
are short, pithy, and to the point,
while its stories, sketches, and poems,
are calculated to sow abroad those inn
pressions which strike men where
least expected The Crusader starts
upon the war path at the right time.
Richard, the Lion Hearted, did not
crush the Saracen in day. Chicago
needs such a paper, and, confident in
the ability of its leaders and contribu-
tors, we welcome it among the fratern-
ity, AMI wish it all success.-1nter

We were shown a private letter from
Mrs. John Hill, who recently, with
husband and family, moved from this
vicinity to Texas. In it she speaks
,af a, sabbath school under her charge,
composed of colored adults and chill
dren, and their anxiety to learn to
read, and makes the suggestion that,
as they are totally destitute Of books
that the benevolent citizens of Rich
mond contribute the old ones they
may have on hand, box up and send
them to her care. and she will distri-
butte them just where they arc needed.
For further information regarding
this suggestion, we ask those who
have old good books to spare to call
on Mrs. DIR. Mary +. Thomas, or Mrs.
S. A. |. Davis, or the President of
the Woman's Christian Association,
Mrs. Elizabeth Hopkins.

Destructive Fire.

On Friday last about noon, the
farm house of Mr.. Charles Geier,
leased and occupied by Henry Bes-
selman, about two and half miles
southeast of this city, kaown as the
Mcclure farm, was discovered to be
on fire. So rapidly did the flames
spread that it was with difficulty the
family saved small portion of their
household effects. But a few min
utes were required-as the wind was
pretty strong at that time-for the
flames to reach several of the out
buildings, and in less than thirty min
utes. the dwelling, smoke house,
blacksmith shop, wagon house, and
corn cribs, were reduced to ashes
The fire was fortunately discovered
by Mr.. Samuel Fryar, and number
of men at wor in an adjacent field,
who rushed over to the burning build
ings, and on their way passing through
MIR. Fryar's sugar camp, gathered a
number of buckets. and with the aid
of these succeeded in saving the large
frame barn. AS it was, however, some
dozen or more holes burned in the
roof and Notwithstanding, but fortu-
nately, no further injury was DONE
About 200 bushels of corn in the crib
destroyed. The loss to Mr.. Geier is
about 1000 dollars, and to Mr.. Bees
selman POO dollars, besides the incon-
venience occasioned by the loss of the
buildings, etc.

NO promise was made him by
the League further than that they
would give him their support and

the market business. This they
claim to have done as far as practi

buying of him such quality of sup
plies as they would not have &C

especially desirable as an encour

a movement was inaugurated
entirely outside Of the League to
raise fund upon which be could

For some reason the promised

complished the task of securing a
subscription, which, with that pro
cured by some other persons
amounted to S1,000-and he was
presented with paper guarantee
ing that amount as q loan of mon

him to prosecute his business.
