Resolved, That in the impulse of shaping
state and national and international organiza-
tlons we believe lies our best expedient for car
rying forward this work, with direct and simple
methods, aud their illustration of the primitive
spirit of the gospel. it commends itself to the

vital and helpful auxiliary. 1t magnifies the

Resolved, That though the whole embraces
its parts, we do especially commend its features
of individual conservation TO the work of re-
form, and the public administration of woman
in the interest of this work and the general HELM
of its refined and sanctifed literature: and with
a commendable pride and interest, we do pledge
ourselves to endeavor to increase tine circulation

Resolved, That inspired by the sudden and
singular revelation of great responsibility for
social as well as domestic welfare of the people,
we will work with patience and fidelity for the
day when the nation shall put away its gross

day for glorious morning when the hallelu-

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and are debilitated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two
or three times during the day. In a little while
those who adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of drinks" and in time become confirmed
nebriates. A beverage which will not create
thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended
especially for the benefit of debilitated persons
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic. Containing the juices of many medic
nal herbs, this preparation does not create appe
tite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
life.supportng properties OF many valuable natura
productions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have most Strengthening influence. A single
bottle ofthe Tonic will demonstrate its valuable quail
ties For debility arising from sickness over exer-
ton or from any cause whatever, a wneglassful of
Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen
the stomach and create an appetite for wholesome
food. To all who are about leaving their homes, we
desire to say that the excellent effects of DR..
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
change of water and diet. No person should leave
home without taking supply of these safeguards

AN OLD SwINDLE.-Mr. 0. w. Eldridge, of
this CITY, has just received an "officiaP' note
from the Louisville Lottery Association, an =
nouncing that 'his joint interest in the institu-
ton has resulted in drawing gold watch and
chain, valued at $3.50. The ten per cent. as
sessed on all prizes make the amount due $15."
They request that this sum be sent to Messrs.
Russell & Co., 81 Bond street, New York. 1t
is unnecessary to state that Mr.. EIdrdge never
bought ticket in the lottery, aud this is an old
game tosget SIS. On the circular there are the
names of large number of persons in this and
other States who will receive similar notiica-
ton. 1t matters not how old a swndle it is,
there are sure to be victims, and it would not
be strange if hundreds in this state are gulled
by this fraud.

10 The Editor of the Press:
We desire to state some inaccuracies in the
report of the doings of the School Committee,
published in the PRESS of this date, and correct
what by the latter would seem concurrence of
the full board in that report. The opinion of
the committee referred to in the published re-
port pertains wholly to the sub committee, con-
sisting of three members. The High School
Committee report was openly objected to by
word and by vote before the full board, and the
recommendation was acquiesced in only from
necessity, for when you Tenaoye the chief the
subordinate must take command until the mas
ter is elected. That the report was adopted by
the committee without objection is not correct.
With these explanations the report was in the
main in accordance with the published account,
