that rum has caused, directly or indirectly,
two deaths in this vicinity within week
past. And yet some respectable people
want the traffic legalized

AN interesting address was delivered at
the M. Il. Church, in this city, on last Mon
day evening, by Mrs. Denman, of Newark,
who gave an account of the remarkable work
done by the Christian women of that city in
reforming drunkards and forwarding the
cause of Temperance There can be no doubt
that the temperance cause is prospecting
as never before, since women have made an
organized effort in its behalf. If the fight is
kept up by them, the liquor business is doom
cd, for when women set their heads to do any
thing, it generally gets done. The sneers of
men whose mothers and sisters ought to be
ashamed of them, will not hinder the women
from doing their duty.
HOUSE FOR RENT.-A house on George
Street, for rent. Inquire of G.. LAKE. 81.
-On last Friday night, Mr. s. B. M. Dol
by, who was connected for some months with
the Quarries at Goat Hill, below this city,
died rather suddenly at the residence of Mr..
Ralph Ashton. He had recently engaged in
business for himself and was putting up
wharves and shutes along the canal for the
purpose of more readily loading the paving
stone and rubble stuff. In this undertake
ing he became somewhat financially embar-
raised owing to the failure to receive an cx-
pected loan, and it is thought that this SO
preyed on his mind as to lead him to commit
suicide. Atany rate there can be little doubt
that he died from an overdose of laudanum.
His funeral took place from st. Andrews
Church ON Sunday afternoon, and was attend
ed by a large number of people. Mr.. ID. was
very pleasant gentleman and made many
friends during his short residence here. We
hear that friend of his has an insurance of
$40, 900 on his life.
