Rev. A. D. Davis, was then introduced !.
lie began bv saying that he would not
speak long as. The. .musquiloes We're very
pad, and he did not want those present
TO be all eatenup, because he wished
them TO come back another night. He
believed that the cause was gaining
ground, and the only way was to keep
working away until we win, He belize
yea that the thousands of prayers that
nad been sent up to the throne of God
we're being answered. The number of
persons that had signed the pledge
throughout the country since the present
movement commenced was over l ,000, 900
The present pledge was different from
the old ore. In the old pledge they did
not prohibit the drinking of beer and
ilght wine. But in the new pledge they
nave not only got whiskey, wines and all
other kinds of drinks out, but they had
got God in. In some counties of the
southern States, they have even gone so
far as to vote Local Option.
de knew that God Almighty would let
him live long enough 10 see total prohi-
Ditlon written on the banners of our
State and National Legislatures, and
then we would have legislation against
the rum traffic. We do not know what
this movement will result in politically
but the reformed men cannot vote for a
man who drinks, and this being the fact,
both parties will have toput reformed men
upon their tickets. He thought that by
next winter year, that they would elect
a legislature Of total probibitionists If
they worked and prayed on. He expect
ed 10 see great revival take place in
this city this winter, both religious and
temperance. lie had great faith in God,
and he believed in Him, He had to
work day and night. He was brought
up blue stocking Presbyterian, and
the only way to get minister was to
get an old Presbyterian then get the
Methodist fire in him, then you have a
good and religious minister, that was the
KIND OF man he was. He had can
vassed sold Sussex" from one end to
the other, and if they were given the
privilege to vote Tomorrow two-thirds of
them would vote for total prohibition,
they do not send dlunkards from there
to the Legislature. When total prohibition
was passed in Delaware he would ask
the Bishop to send him over to Maryland
or some other territory where rum is
sold, SO that he could go to work there
He was an old regular in the ranks.
The meeting closed by singing the
long metre doxology and benediction by
Rev. Mr., Latrobe.

THE HEALTH OF Hon. JAMES A.
BAYAPD.-Last evening Hon. james A.
Bayard, while walking on Market street,
near Teuth, became affected by sudden
weakness and fell upon pile of stones.
Fortunately he sustained no injury, and
was Immediately assisted to his home,
at Ninth and Market, by two men. This
morning he was apparently in his usual
health, and complained of no ill effects
from his mishap.
For several months past the honorable
gentleman has been in somewhat feeble
health, but no; so ss to prevent him from
taking his daily exercise, or to cause any
apprehensions for his safety.

PROF. WIN. A. REYNOLDS, who has

Medford, Mass, near Boston, at a salary
rising $4,000. He will leave for his new
home in about two weeks. He will be
greatly missed in our city by business
firms and a number of our monetary in
stitutiors, as well as by a very large circle
of religious friends, who will part with
him with regret, we are very certain. A
gentleman with so many excellent quail
