To the Friends of Temper
6nC0,

DEAR FRIENDS The object of
this letter is to call attention to our
paper, the "WoMANs TEMPERANCE
UNION" We think with a little eff
fort, we can add at least thousand
more names to our subscription
list. Will not some lady in your
town undertake to secure at least
ten names, or let a committee be
made to do the same, or each lady
interested, pledge herself to secure
one name? Our State is doing well
for the paper, but may do much
more and profit accordingly.
Send subscriptions to Mrs. M. G.
Johnson, 136 Lawrence St, Brook
lyn, New York.
This paper contains interesting
and instructive articles regarding
our work, with directions for the
successful conducting of Juvenile
Unions. In addition to this, its 81
lent influence in the family will be
felt to insure temperance sentiments.
Also, can you not secure funds at
the rate of one per cent per week
per member for our treasury? We
need to keep competent person to
awaken, and keep the people awake,
to the dangers of intemperance, and
for this we must have many, very
many, small contributions from the
good people of Ohio.
All other officers are working
gladly, without remuneration, and
with a very small part of their ex-
penses being met, if at all. Let us
have a full treasury this year, and
so be able to cover our State with
literature and workers. All moneys
should be sent to Mrs. E. j. Thomp-
son, Hillsboro, Ohio, who will re-
ceipt them duly, and also through
our paper mentioned above.
MRS. II. G. M'CABE,
Pres't W. T. G. U. of Ohio.

Penn TIP.

Died-At her residence, (School
House in Sub District No. 81 on
Thursday evening, Jan. II, 1877, af
ter a lingering illness of several
years, "The Highland Club" aged
twenty-four years and four days.
The heirs will be called together on
Saturday afternoon, February 10,
1877, for the purpose of disposing
of the property of the deceased.
This is another example of a moth
er "who had out-lived her useful
ness" The children were mostly
grown up about the opening of the
late war several of her sons were in
service, and some of them laid down
their lives for their country.
After this the family began to scat
ter, and, at first, each son was anxious
to take care of his mother, but Qet me
whisper it softly I think she had
trouble with her daughters in-law,
for since then she has had no per-
manent abiding-place, and has often
suffered for want of attention, though
she has many sons, whom the world
honors. A very few of them were
faithful in their duty to the last, but
her grief at the base ingratitude of
the others, so preyed upon her con
stitution that she faded away, while
yet in her prime. SCRIPTOR.
P. S. For fear that some of your
readers may not understand the above,
please let me add that the Sigh
land Club" was a Literary Society,
organized by tie young men of Dis
trict No. 4, Penn Township, January
Z, 1853. The property spoken OF, is
a library of about four hundred vol
umes. S.

Supper and Public inStalla-
ton at Belfast.

Saturday, January 6, 1876, was
the day agreed upon as the time for
having Social Reunion ofthe mem
bers of the Belfast Lodge, No. 572,
I. o. o. F.
About 9 o'clock the committee ap-
pointed to prepare a table in the
Presbyterian church, were actively
at work, and by noon table the en-
tire width of the church was ready
to receive the Injuries prepared for
the occasion. And now the ladies
are seen making their way to the
church to deposit their sumptously
filed baskets, and place their con-
tents on the table, which was soon
filed to overAowing with the most
luscious viands that the dainty hands
of women could prepare.
After about 200 persons had par
taken of the luxuries, the members
of the Lodge repaired to the Hall,
to prepare for public Inhalation of
officers, after which they marched
back to the church, where the follow
ing officers were installed, by D. D.
G. M. Mccoy.
E. F. Webster, N. g.; J. II. Ber-
ryman, V. g.; T. ]. Gustip, Secre-
tary, and NJ. V. Williamson, Treas
urer.
Bro. Mccoy then addressed a
large congregation that had assem-
bled to hear and learn the principles
of Odd. Fellowship. Every one ap-
peared satisfied and elated with the
entertainment, and one of the beau
ties of the whole affair-was the per
feet harmony that seemed to prevail
throughout. In short, the entire en-
tire entertainment was one of the
most magnificent I ever witnessed.

The BerryviIIe Whisky Raid.

A year or two ago there was o sa-
loon in Berryville, and the citizens
of Washington township found to
their sorrow that it was demoralizins
to the peace and morality of the
community, SO when they heard that
Mr.. Terry Swaney was going to sell
liquor there, they got up a petition,
which was signed by majority of
their best citizens, requesting him
not to do it. His reply was II aoiU, -
and he did. This seemed a little
hard to those who believe that a ma
jority should rule, at least in self.
protection.
On the night of Dec. 2Sth last,
some persons made a raid on the
whisky establishment, (some called
it a mob-I do not) captured it, and
destroyed nearly two barrels of whis-
ky, and knocked some bottles over.
For this Nr. Swaney had ten per-
sons arrested, and in return he was
arrested for selling liquor to minors.
On the 9th inst. those whom Swan.
ey had arrested were to have their
trial, but the thing was compromis-
ed, Mr.. Swaney and his partner
agreeing to lose their liquor and
other things destroyed by the raid
ers, and Swaney never to sell liquor
in Berryville again. The other par
ties agreed not to prosecute Swaney
for his selling to minors.

told to me. ! think we can learn a

The ice in the Ohio river at Gin
cinnati, broke up on Saturday night,
and Sunday last, causing great de-
struction among steamboats, and
coal barges. The total damage at
Cincinnati and vicinity is estimated
at about 100000.
At Pittsburg, the damage done to
boats by the ice was very great, the
loss being estimated at from one to
two millions of dollars, in value of
boats and cargoes. An immense
amount of coal was lost.

to get sick, would remove them at once.
We are inclined to the opinion that
worms or parasites are the primary
cause for the so-called hog cholera, and
