The Cincinnati Journal & Messen-
ger, the Baptist organ of this State,
has the following notice of the re-
dedication of the Baptist church in
this place:
HnLsBoRo.-The little band of
brethren and sisters here, after q
long series of gloomy days, have aris-
en-, in response to the earnest appeals
of their enterprising pastor, Rev. N.
B. H. Gardner, and done good thing
for the Baptist cause in this place
At cost of 80, 500 they have trans
formed their uncomfortable and un-
slightly audience and lecture rooms
into one, and as cheerful and tasty a
one as we have seen in many days.
No church need desire a pleasanter
place for worship. The seats, doors
and pulpit are neat in form and col
oring, while theground glass windows
and frescoed walls are beautiful to
behold. In place of the dingy base
ment, the upper part of which adds
to the height or depth of the main
audience-room, there is for the Sun
day-school and prayer-meetings fine
CHEEKY room, built at the end Of the
church, and opening into it.
The remodeled and re embellished
house was rededicated last Sabbath
in the presence of crowded audiences.
Sermons were preached by Rev. ]. R.
Baumes and Pastor Witter. Dedica-
tory prayer was offered by Rev. D.
Trichler, of New Market, whose peo-
pie, like those of Pastor Witter of
New Vienna, contributed generously
toward the expenses incurred by re-
pairing. Rev. DR. Mathews, of the
college here, and pastor of the M.
E. Church, were in attendance each
at one service.
About 1900 had been subscribed
previously, and about $500 was pledg-
ed during the day. The citizens gen.
orally have been very generous to the
church, and for their aid pastor and
flock express their thanks.

March 2S, 1874.
We in these parts have been undecided
for some time, whether Spring had come OIL
not. Have finally concluded tbs Spring
time, but awful cold and windy. Oul
Schools in this Tp., have closed. The
scholars seem to have made good progress
We have had good corps of teachers the
past winter and they were generally sue.
cessful in teaching.
Farmers have been very busy the past
week getting in their oats. There has been
large quantity sown.
Wheat that was early sown on good
ground looks well Late sown on thir
land looks badly winter-killed. Taken al
together, the prospect for wheat is grea
deal better than this time last year.
The prospect for crop Of fruit of al
kinds is splendid.
There will be considerable amount ot
tobacco planted in the neighborhood this
season. Feed is scarce; milch COWS scarce
and high; hogs not very plenty; corn 50cts
oats so, potatoes 20, hay SO per ton,
wheat $1.25, -four &c.
Our band still flourish. The boys begin
to play right well. Grangers still flourish
ing, ''Laddie Lean Corn" to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Candidates for the Spring election plenty.
Health of neighborhood good.
The News comes to US the past two
weeks ina new style, with which we are
nightly pleased. We hardly recognized
the paper. 'Tis what we might expect
though, in the sold Reliable. c. F. B.

MARCH 26th, 1874

Having a few moments leisure
time, I thought a line from the 'the
town of steady habits" might be of
interest. This is beautiful location
for town, and a very quiet little
village It sits nestled among the
hills, its inhabitant moving along in a
quiet, unassuming way. AS temper
ance is the all absorbing theme of the
present hour I cannot forebear
word upon that, and to the credit of
the place be it said, that such thing
as a drunken man is scarcely seen or
heard of here. The women are vigi-
liant, and ever ready, to take the ad-
vantage of the enemy, on first ap-
proach and hold him at bay. The
consequence is, this is a very quiet,
sober community, and business
moves along in an even, steady way ;
just the place for one who wishes to
calmly enjoy life ''for the living there

Our old landlord, land very clev.

dations for man and beast. Dame
Rumor says we are to have another
Hotel, but for the truth of her state
ment, I cannot vouch.
There are good pixies in several di-
rections from the town, and a nice
drive, from either of the country
towns, making this very pleasant
quiet resort, wayfrom the humdrum
of city life. Then too, it is on the
direct line of one of the great Rail
roads ofthe State, which takes you tc
the Queen City in twinkling.
But lest / trespass upon you
space, 1 will close here, and hope tt
give you something more interesting
next time. Respectfully,

Extract from the Minutes Of
the WOman's Temperance
Association Of HilisborO,
March 10Th.
"The record of the day is not COM
plete without some mention of the
out door mass meeting held on the
public square about o'clock in the
afternoon.
"Mr. Uhrig having yielded to the
entreaties of the ladies, closed his sa-
loon and surrendered his liquors, it
was determined that the whiskey
should be burned.
"a large concousre of people as
sembled to witness the ceremony.
'The ladies of the Association came
in procession from the church and
formed q circle around the three bar
rels, being. marshaled by Mr.. Jacob
Sayler, who at their request had
charge of the proceedings.
"After prayerby Rev. S. D. Clay
ton the heads of the barrels we're
broken in by Mrs. Eliza J. Thomp-
son, Mrs. Gen. Mcdowell and Mrs.
H. S. Foraker, and the liquor set on
fire.
: "The scene was one of solemn Joy,
never to be forgotten by those who
participated in it.
GAS the words ofprayer were borne
heavenward on the wings of the
evening air, tears of thankfulness
flowed from many eyes, and in the
hush which followed the fervent
"Amen," voices all tremulous with
emotion joined in the grand old ''John
Brown" chorus.
even the boys forgot their usual
shout and whistle, and the dear IA
miliar hymns, that have eheered and
helped us all along the weary way,
seemed the fittest expression of our
Joy. When all was over, the ladies
and gentlemen of the Association re-
turned to the church to unite in o
song and prayer of solemn thanks
giving to God; being more than ever
convinced that He began the work,
has continued it, and will in His
own good time and way complete it.

CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD.

The circulation of the blood Is the life of the
body, and its stoppage is death. We are healthy
when the blood circulates freely any interruption
preventing its free course is the commencement of
disease. "Blood is the life of the flesh" Can we
expect 10 enjoy good health, when bad or corrupt
humors circulate with the blood, causing pain and
disease and these humors being deposited through
out the entire body, produce pimples, eruptions,
ulcers, indigestion, costiveness, headache neural
ga, rhematism, and numerous other complaints.
No disease can be in the body without first being
generated in the blood and no disease can possibly
be in the bodv if the blood is pure II is of great
importance to know what medicine will purify and
renovate the blood, eradicate the disease, renew
vitality, mentally and physically and instiI fresh
vigor into all the vital functions of the body This
medicine is the FEGETINE, the great bood-puriier.

MOTHERS, READ THIS!
A GREAT BLESSING!
Worth q Dollar a Dr0n.

Mothers, are your little ones fretful? And is
your patience almost exhausted in vain efforts to
please them? can sympathize with you, and can
tell you what will make your little child quiet give
1t good appetite and procure for it hours of sweet
sound sleep.
My little girl is two and half years old, and
during that time, have not had two consecutive
nights rest. She has been sick number of times
and no one seemed to know what was troubling
her. 1t was hard to hear her little fretfu cry and
not know what to do for her. l doctored her for
worms, but it did no good; and 1 was nearly tired
out with sleeqless nights and troublesome days
heard of the VEGETINE and determined to try
1t. 1t has proved blessing to me and my child II
has cleansed from her stomach and bowels the
sores which kept gathering there; and now she
sleeps soundly from her bedtime until very late in
the morning, beside long nap at midday. Her
appetite is good and, in fact she is like different
child. often say, the true value of this medicine
to me is dollar a drop. Try it. Cleanse the
humors from your children's blood while they re
young. Try il, and YOU will join with me in calling
it great blessing. Mrs. ELLEN L. CLAPP,

The Rev. A. G. Hurst states that
the report that whiskey is sold as
usual in Warrington G. H., and that
there is as much drunkenness there
as ever, isnot correct. Having heard
that such a report was in circulation
he asked the Marshal of Washington
for official information on the point
and was told that there had been bu,

Our school closed last Friday. We
were visitors, and will just say that
the school is in a good condition and
the scholars are the most obedient we
ever had in our school, especially the
the primary classes, whose lessons
were perfect and speeches and ad-
dresses well delivered. The teach
ers deserve great credit for their de-
votion and the improvement of the
scholars, Miss Hattie A. Gordon in
particular. Mr.. Garnett is also an
excellent teacher. J. KILGOUR.

The HOuse OF ConEsnosas EnfertaGnfng
tha seuestion OF losses 30 Rriaash
subjects by the Alabama.

LONDON, June 2-In' the house OF
commons, George Anderson, from Glas-
gov, called attention to the losses oi
British subjects through the escape OF
the Alabama, and other causes. He
complained OF the high-handed man.
ner in which the late government had
prevented the timely criticism of the
treaty Of Washington. There were
three classes Of British subjects who
deserved compensation:
First-lsesidents in the Southern Con-
federacy who lost their property through
the Inability of the United States to en-
force the laws.
SecOnd-ThOse whose property was
destroyed after General Lees surrender.
Third-Owners of goods on board of
the prizes Of Confederate cruisers.
He believed the United States were
willing TO recognize these claims.
Mr.. Anderson then moved that in the
opinion Of the house it is wrong that in
dividuals should suffer loss through q
national wrong; that as England has
been adjudicated at fault in permitting
tie escape of the Alabama, and has
Compensated Americans for losses in
cGfrTed thereby, similar Compensation is
due 70 British sufferers from the same
causes.
Mr.. Burke, under-seel etary for the for
eign department, in replying, declined
to enter upon discussion OF the merits
of the treaty OF Washington. The joint
high commissioners had declared that
the United States government was not
responsible for acts of the rebels. AS
that government has agreed to appoint
a commission To examine claims for
losses arising after General Lees sur
render, be hoped the subject before the
house would not be passed.
The motion was then rejected.
