TEMPERANCE QUEsTON.-There is but
little that is new to report upon thi:
question in eur midst. The work has
been quietly going on as heretofore
with but little change in the programme
from the past few weeks. The meeting
in the Hall Friday night, was not sc
well attended as usual, owing to the
fact that ne arrangement had been
made for speakers, and it was generally
understood that there would be no meet.
ing. A goodly number were present
however, and were addressed by G. W.
Everett, Esq, D. F. Ewing, Esq, and
others. There was meeting of the
members of the League in the Disciple
church on Monday evening to make
some new arrangements for future
work. The council also being in ses.
sion, committee was appointed to wait
on that honorable body to ascertain
what action had been taken on the Pc
tition presented to them week or two
ago, asking them to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquors, ale, beer
&c. The committee returned and
and reported that the council
had taken action, and that they did not
deem it advisable to pass the McCon-
nellsville ordinance, or any other simi-
lar ordinance, at present. This is moth
ing more than we had expected from
the present council.

An OLD TINE SLEIGH RIDE.-We are
indebted, says the Ravenna Press, to
Mr.. J. E. Sharp, of this village, for the
following account clipped from an old
paper, of sleigh ride which took place
on the 18th of March, 1856. Mrs. Sharp,
then Miss Kellogg, was one of the
party:
The GREAT SLEIGH RIDES OF 1885,
The great sleighing tournaments of
1856 are still wildly remembered by our
citizens. Solon, Cuyahoga county, in
augurated the "strife" by getting up a
party OF seven four-horse teams, and
challenging any town to beat them.
Twinsburg did beat them with fourteen
teams. Bedford then went to Twins
burg with thirty-four teams. North
field then tried it on, but fell short of
the requisite number of teams to take
the banner. Breckville then entered
the list with fifty-four teams. Royal
ton then came in with sixty-eight teams.
Then Boston went to Royalton with
eighty-nine teams. Richfield then
pounced down into Boston with one
hundred and fifty-four teams and
planted the banner on the summit. This
was on the 11th day of March. A few
days afterwards, Summit, Medina and
Cuyahoga, as counties, entered into the
contest, and visited Richfield, under
their appropriate leaders, Medina hav-
ing 40, Cuyahoga 151, and Summit III
four-horse teams, 462 in all. Not salts
fed with this discontinue, Medina was
bound to try again, and on the 18th day
of March, though the sleighing was get
ting rather thin, that county, with bands
of music and flying banners, drove
triumphantly into Akron with QUE hun
dred and eighty-one Jour-horse teams, the
most extensive sleigh-ride from one
county ever before, or since. known in
the United States. The Medina people
are now inviting the neighboring coun-
ties to "come and take" that banner.
Shall it be 'took?'

HACK, HACK! Cough, CoUGH.-Cough
is symptom by which various diseased
conditions of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves.
But whether it arises from the irrita-
tion produced in the throat and larynx
by taking colo, from an attack of Bron-
chitis, from incipient Consumption, or
from various other causes, nothing will
allay it more speedily nor cure it more
permanently than DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t does not matter
whether it be a recent attack, or ling
ering cough, the Discovery is in either
case equally well adapted for its relief
and permanent cure. In fact, it will
cure cough in one-halfthe time neces-
sary to cure it with any other medicine,
and it does it, not by drying up, but by
removing the cause, subduing the irri-
tation, and healing the affected parts.
No time should be lost in convincing
the use of proper medicine for the re-
lief Of Cough, for unless this course
is pursued, serious and dangerous dis
ease of the lungs is liable to result.
DOCTORS SOON LEARN ITS VALUE.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 13, 1870.
DR.. Pierce-For the past six months
1 have used your Golden Medical Dis
coyery in my practice, and in that time
l have tested its merits in severe coughs,
both acute and chronic, in chronic dis
ease of the throat, severe cases of bron-
chitis, general arrangement of the sys-
TEN, constipated condition of the bow
els, and wherever thorough Alternative
has been indicated. In all cases have
found it to act gently yet thoroughly
and effectually in renewing the various
diseased conditions, and bringing about
a healthy action throughout the sys-
tenn. Yours fraternally,

N. E. CoSCERT.--The concerts given
last Wednesday and Thursday evenings
under the direction of Mr.. j. C. Ewing.
for the benefit Of the NJ. z. church,
proved to be quite entertaining, and
remunerative. The class was large
one, and made up of singers Of all
grades. The choruses were well rem
dered, showing that the drilling which
Mr.. Ewing had given them in 50 short
q time, had been effectual. We cannot
enter into the particulars Of the per-
formances, but simply state that the
songs, Duets, quartette, &C., were ap-
preciated by the audience. The tab
leaux added much to the interest of the
occasion. Halls Orchestra discoursed
sweet music at intervals, greatly to the
relief OF the audience between pieces.
The programme had one very common
fault, that Of being too long. Taking
it all in all, it was Il fine entertainment.
and pleasing and profitable to all.
