FALsE.-The rum interest and those that
follow its lead, are reporting that the trials
for illegal sale of liquor in this city during the
present year have cost the city enormously, and
argue that license should therefore be given.
One person has asserted that the case of Peter
Robinson cost the city $1,000. Such state
ments arc utterly false. The cost to the city
in these cases has been very small--only few
dolars-and we are informed that the fines
collected have more than equalled this cost.
But any decent man ought to be ashamed
to use such an argument. Here are men who
defy the law, and because it costs something
to prosecute them, therefore they should be
licensed to sell, thus offering premium to
violators of the statutes Because these men
have sold in violation of law is just the reason
why they ought not in any case to have license
They should rather be taught respect for law
by term in the county jail OF tie state
prison. Consistency (Which, however, we do
not expect from men who do not use their rea-
SOM Should prompt these men also to advocate
the repeal of laws against theft murder, etc.,
because men still continue to defy these laws,
and it costs 50 much to Try them. A license
for these crimes with good license fee at
tached would bring considerable money into the
public treasury and would save all the ex-
penss Of litigationl Yet, strange to say, men
who can at once see the folly and wickedness
of such proposition, cannot Tor will mott see
the same features in the license question.

Is The feeling on the question Of license
is growing as the day approaches for our
annual spring election. This is shown by the
numbers that attend the various temperance
meetings.
On Monday evening, an audience filed the
Baptist Church to hear Mrs. A. G. Swanson,
of Brooklyn, a member Of the Executive
Committee Of the Ladies' National Temper
ance Union. After singing by the choir, and
some pertinent remarks by Rev c. r. Hart
ranft, Mrs. Swanson was introduced and spoke
for three-quarters of an hour on womans
work in the temperance reformation, and
gave an account Of the remarkable work
done in Brooklyn by the Ladies' Temperance
Union. Through their efforts large humber
Of saloons have been closed, scores Of drunk
ards have been reformed aud converted, and
the work is still going on, Mrs. Swanson's
address was deeply interesting and encourage
ing, and was listened to with the greatest at
tention.
At its close, the Rev. J. A. Cruzan, of
Williamsport, Pa, made few telling re-
marks which evinced that he is a radical
temperance man who has his whole heart in
the work. We regret that more time could
not have been allowed to him, as he is a forci-
BILE speaker.

EW A house belonging to Mrs. Eliza OPP
dycke, of Kingwood,. was consumed by fire on
Wednesday of last week There were none
of the family at home except Mrs. Opdycke.
The neighbors soon rallied and tried to put
out the fire, but it had too much headway.---
They succeeded, however, in getting out a
part Of the goods. 1t is supposed to have
taken fire from fiue. There was no insur-
ance on the property destroyed. Repu0lican.

eB- At regular stated meeting of Vigil
liant Council, No. 55, o. of U. "A. M, held
March 19th 1875, the following preamble aud
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, To Him that giveth and taketh
away, it has seemed proper to call from our
midst, our esteemed brother, N. G. Hoag-
land, thereby severing the cords that bound
us together in bonds of honesty, industry
and sobriety, therefore be it
Resolred, That, we the members of vigilant
Council, while submitting to the will Of the
Divine Ruler deem it just and right to ex-
press this respect due our departed brother
ResoIUed, That we hereby extend our sincere
and heartfelt sympathies to the friends of our
late brother, not doubling but what their loss
is Heavens gain and feeling our feebleness
in trying to administer true comfort, we would
recommend them to the great Comforter
above, and may they be able to say, not my
will but Thine be done, trusting that when
time shall be no more we with them shall be
in union with the departed, in that land of
light, that home beyond the skies, where
sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and
feared no more forever.
ResoIued, That copy Of these resolutions
be furnished the family of our deceased broth
er, with whom we deeply sympsthize and COM
mend to the care Of kind Providence, who
has promised to be q friend to all who put
their trust in Him.
ResoIced, That the charter be draped in
mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resoloed, That these resolutions be publish
ed in the city papers.
We loved to think of him one,
To whom long years were given
Who mach of good would yet have done,
And late return to Heaven
Fair rose his sun Of Iife--few such,
Alas II set at noon
His Master must have loved him much,
To call him home soon.
Thesmortal frame may be corcealed,
Within the narrow house Of gloorr,
But God in mercy, has revealed
Immortal lie beyond the tomb.
No more well mourn absent friend,
But lift TO Heaven an earnest prayer
That when our labors here shall end
We, too may work an entrance there.

"a Many of our citizens who had for
merly known her were deeply panied on Mon
day morning to hear of the sudden death Of
the wife of the Rev. A. Armstrong, of Easton,
Pa. Rev. Mr.. Armstrong was pastor Of the
Baptist Church in this city few years since,
and the members of that church well-remem-
Der how willingly, earnestly and untiringly
she carried with her to other fields. To her
the injunction seemed ever to speak "Work
while it is day, for the night cometh." To
her stricken family the night has come--to
her, the everlasting day.
The Easton Daily Express contains the fol-
lowing
OBITuARY.--Our citizens We're startled yes
terday by the sad news of the sudden death
Of the wife Of the Rev. Andrew Armstrong,
pastor of the Baptist Church.
Mrs. Armstrong had retired on Saturday
night when, about 1880, she remembered
that she had left the table silver down stairs,
and, though her husband told her 1t would be
safe, she arose and went down after it. She
started up stairs again, and when she had as
cended three or four steps, fell backwards
Her husband and daughter heard the fall, and
Fastening to the spot, picked her up, placed
her in chair, and bathed her face, until af-
ter short time she showed signs Of return
ing consciousness. Mr.. Armstrong asked her
how she felt, and she said, sOh dreadful. y
These were her last words, though she linger-
ed in state of insensibility until 345 yester-
day morning, when she breathed her last.
Her fall occurred during stroke of apo
plexy, which was the cause of her death. In
the fall she received bad bruse on the left
eye and temple, the flesh being much swollen
and discolored.
Mrs. Armstrong was the daughter of the
Hon. Thomas Swain, for many years Pre- i'd
ing Judge Of the District Court of Burlington
County, N. ]. Her two brothers were cler-
gymen of the Baptist Church, one the late
Rev. S. b. Swain, d. d., of Boston, Mass,
and the other Rev. Thomas Swain, d. d.,
Society," of Philadelphia. She was born at
Pemberton, N. j., and was married to the
Rev. Andrew Armstrong in 1S47, when she
Immediately joined the Baptist Church. Her
husband was pastor of Baptist churches in
Emilystown, Monmouth County, N. j., Tren-
ton, Lambertvillc and Frenchtown, from
the last of which he came to Easton in 1870,
and took charge of the church here. Mrs.
Armstrong was true Christian, an energetic
and Woodworking woman, doing noble work
in her efforts to assist her husband in promot-
ing the spiritual and temporal welfare of his
flock. Much of the prosperity of the Easton
church is due to her unwearied efforts, her
last evening being spent at a meeting of the
Mite Society of her church. She was loved
and respected by all with whom she was
thrown in contact, and her placein the church
is.one that win be difficult to fill.
Her remains will be inferred at Pemberton,
N j., on Wednesday next. There will, how
ever, be funeral services at her late residence
on Ferry street, above Fifth, at quarter past
10 tomorrow, (Tuesday,) to which her many
friends are invited.

New HOPE HILL SCHOOL LITERARY So
cIETY.--The fifth weekly meeting of this So
ciety was held March 10Th, 1875, in the school

rations, was read, and the contributions were
all that could be wished to interest and amuse
all present. The question adopted at the pre-
vious meeting for discussion "Was the
English government justifable in banishing
Napoleon to St. Helena ?" was discussed in
the affirmative by Pickering, Matthews and

g THE Fools ARE NOT ALL DEAD YET. -
Weare informed that some time in December
some smooth tongaed scoundrel visited large
number of houses in this city and obtained
from their rather verdant inmates CONT ibutions
of from one to two dollars, under the hallucina-
ton that in exchange for these dollars they
were to receive from ten to one hundred times
their value in goods of various kinds, from
muslin, carpets, &C., up to gold watches and
melodeons. They have been waiting ever
since to receive their goods, and, of course,
they are likely to continue to wait. We also
are told that notwithstanding the bad faith of
the first party, second party visited our
city on similar errand and succeeded in
fleeing others. 1t hardly seems possible that
in these days ofnewspapers, when such schemes
have been SO often exposed, that any one
would thus entrust his or her money to total
strangers without an assurance of their reia-
bility--but we pre- sumo these people do not
take the papers. They can't afford to take
them--but they can afford occasionally to illus
trate the old adage that g A fool and his money
is soon parted" s

Mr.. B. B. Wood, the man who fell from a
load of wheat and caused great CONSERVATION
among the little fishes in the Alexsauken,
about six months ago, has been down to see
them again. While clearing the ice from the
trunk which conducts the water from the
dam into the race, a few days ago, his crow
bar slipped and Benjamin went down head
foremost in about seven feet of slush and
water. Nothing was visible of him for some
time, except his boot soles, and those who
were present began to think that Benjamin
had gone down to stay, but after satisfying
himself that the trunk was albright, he came
up, made few remarks, went to the house
and donned dry suit Of clothes, and, we are
happy to say, is as well as ever he was, and
now after all this il the Benjaminite isnot enti-
tied to full set of resolutions after death,
then we think the resolution business may as
well be stopped

WHIsKEY AND BROKEN LEGs.---On last
Saturday afternoon one of our citizens, while
in state of intoxication, was put out of Cor
brolon. We do not pretend to lay the blame
Of the accident upon any particular person
we simply say that whiskey is responsible for
it. Had it not been for whiskey, good me-
chanic would have been preserved to his fam
lily and the community, instead Of being bur-
den to it. This is the way whiskey helps bust
ness. The rumseller makes money and spends
part of it at stores, &C., but the. families of
the drinkers, who are deprived Of the money
that goes into the till of the tavern and sa-
loon, are thus prevented from spending the
same or larger sum- Thus business really
loses,
