THE MURPHY MEETINGs.-The temper
ance meetings at Brackets Hall I'M
der the management of G. A. Barry, of
Pittsburg, have been moderately well
attended, and have induced many
drinking men to pledge themselves to
total abstinence. 1t is not Mr.. Barry s
plan to spend much time in lecturing.
His plan is to inaugurate such a
thorough system of personal work as
will encourage drinking men to CON-
ply with convictions already sufficient
lY clear. One feature OF his plan is to
dispense with the discussion of side
issues, and to unite all moral forces
in carrying out such temperance con-
victions as are, especially in this coun-
try, well nigh universal. This feature
secures cordial cooperation among
classes of widely different opinions on
such questions as license and prohi-
bision. Another feature of Mr.. Bar
~ S work is the absence of opprobri-
Gus or bitter epithets, as applied eth
er to those who drink, or those who
sell ardent spirits. His motto is that
of Francis Murphy--ssWith malice
toward none and charity for ALL

The subject of Mental Education and
Insanity was discussed by the Natural
Science Association at its last meeting
Supt. Baker read a paper introducing
the subject in metaphysical way,
showing by concise statements the diff
ferent capacities of different minds
and of the same mind at different Pc
riods in life, and the laws governing
the growth of intellect. Also the re-
lations, resemblances and differences
of insanity and idiocy. Pres. Parker
gave a somewhat detailed and very in
teresting description of the methods
and progress of the school for idiots,
or ''fool school, in Syracuse, N. Y.
And further claimed that, where there
is the slightest CLEAN of intelligence
in mind, there is ever hope of men
tai growth. By vote of the associa-
ton Mr.. Baker was requested to pre-
pare his paper for publication in the
papers of this village.
