A FEW WORDS TO OUR GIRLS.


The more | turn this great question
of temperance over, and look on all
sides for its causes and cure, the more
am persuaded that upon the young
giils of our country there rests great
sponsibility.
The women of this land have been
often told that the power tn Danish
this great curse is in their hands; that
II they would turn from all men in
social life, who i'm any way are guilty
of the use or traffic in intox Ic,tiug
drinks the work would be cut snort
IN Righteousness. But while tus
sounds graudly in the abstract, from
the very nature of the case it is gate
impossible.
Let the women resolve to do lust
this to-day, and the sharp line of uttpr
separation would be drawn between
wife and husband, mother and son,
brother and sister, forever. So HD mat
ter how elOqueutiy we may talk uf
social Oslracism doing the work, 1t Is
wholly impractictble, for the married
women are bound to the men who
drink and sell, 10y the strongest Ot hu-
man ties.
But with The girls Of the nation,
there is q mighty force sill. untouched
I'm this great reform, and just AS truly

The dwelling house of Mr.. J. L.
Moore, four or five miles north of town,
was burned on the morning OF Thurs
day, Sth inst. All the household fur
niture, in fact everything in the house,
with the exception of some bedding,
was destroyed. All the clothing of the
family also went with the rest, leaving
them without shelter and almost with
out clothing sufficient to cover them.
Books to the value of $500, belonging
to the Presbyterian Board of Publica-
ton, were in the house at the time,
and they, too, were destroyed by the
flames. Mr.. Moore's neighboTs and
friends are doing all i'm their power to
replace his losses. The loss is a very
unfortunate one for him, as he had
just succeeded in getting fairly started
in life, and has not the physical
strength and health to enable him to
recover by his own eXertions what he
has lost. Under the circumstances the
efforts of his friends are very COM
mendable, and we hope they may be
entirely successful in their benevolent
work.-GreeneUiiLe american.

The Contents of the Cash Vault
Right to a Cent.

The full count of money in the cash
vault Of the Treasury is completed and
agrees exactly with Gen. Spinner's ac>
count of what it contained. Even the
estimate of $50 shortage made when
the currency was counted and the gold
taken according TO the marks on the
bags has disappeared, and the count
comes out exactly right. All the coin
that was in any degree worn was ac-
tually counted. The new coin was
counted by weighing it, and every
thing proved 10 cent. The CON
tents Of the vault were 100000, OF
which nearly 81 100000, was coin.

md a bittor conflict, in which other lines aro
likely to become entang1ed, il precipitated by
tho notion Of tho Pennsylvania Ioad ycster-
