month. 18th day. (

9th month, 18th day.
FRIEND J.. P. CT have noticed in the
Eaton Register, to the columns of which
thee contributes much of thy writing,
some very bitter articles against the Pro-
~hibitionists. l perceive that thou allows
thy evil temper to overcome thy better
judgment, and I am moved to say to thee,
that the growing party which thou de-
nouneest with so many hard words, doth
not work for parties OF men, but for prin-
ciples. If the principles hurt one party
and helps another, it must be because the
principles of one of the great parties are,
If possible, worse than. those of the other
party. The fact that we are content to
cast our lot with a party largely in the
minority, and upon which both the old
parties turn their backs, should silence
thy ill-tempered criticisms. As a sect
we have long since come to believe that
common scolds do not help make any
body better, and we would advise thee to
temper what thou hast to say with more
kindness. People will listen to thee more
attentively and will not call the a snarl-
ing, garrulous old granny, as they do
now / have had to rebuke some who
called thee an old pop-eyed, bottle-nosed
snap dragon, a muckle-mouthed old
broken-down politician, who could not be
elected a. Justice of the Peace in his own
township, an old leather-lunged brawler,
a muddy water squirt-gun, and such un-
seemly names which thy grabbed nature
called down upon thee.
Iwould advise thee in theexereise-efa
better spirit to seek peace for thy trout
bled soul. BY hating other men, thou
incurrest their hate. Ifthou callest them
fools they will call thee an ass. Yea,
even an ass. So thou seest where thy
spirit leadeth thee. Thee had better
make mud pies in the gutter than to
make mud balls to throw at thy fellow
men. The dirt thou throwest will come
back upon thee. People, as they see thee
soiled and dirty, will only laugh the more
at thee, and that will excite thy ire, and
then they will laugh at thee still more.
Then if thou writest more scolding words,
they will laugh louder than ever, and
say thou art stirred up to wrath again,
and men of both old parties will wag
their heads and say 'told Bombastic Flu
rioso is pumping wind again" Listen
to the words of an old man, and let 'the
words of thy mouth and the meditations
of thy heart" become more human and
humane, and thy much writing may do
thee and the world some good. "Here /
raise my EBENEZER."

Birthday Surprise.

The friends and relatives of s.. B. Duff
field celebrated his sd birthday by hay-
ing a surprise supper on Saturday eve
ming last. Mr.. John Willis came overin
the afternoon and proposed going to
town, as he had frequently done before,
and Sam agreeing, they left for Eaton.
They then began preparing for the sup
per, friends and relatives fiocking in I'M
til about eighty or ninety persons had
gathered; men, women and children, OF
all ages and sizes. A table was prepar-
ed and everything arranged for the house
to have a gloomy look instead of its real
appearance. At last Mr.. Willis arrived
with his unsuspecting comrade. They
entered, and 10! he stood and looked
with amazement, hesitating, he stepped
back, for before him stood Large table
filled with cakes, candies, nuts OF all
kinds; and plates of oysters, and seated
around were smiling faces ready to par
take OF the luxuries, and from adjoining
rooms were boxing on, at the same time
there were voices, tits your birthday, .
and then he was shown a seat at the head
of the table, where he5was presented
with a fine Masonic pin and other pres
ents by his children. The whole was a
grand affair. There were 35 or 40 large
and well prepared cakes, and the large
pots of oysters gave evidence that there
was plenty, and showing that those who
managed it well understood their BUSH
ness. Mr.. Dufield showed by his ex-
preston and manners, his t~hankfulness
for the kindness of his children and
friends, and indeed all felt well pleased
and enjoyed the whole affair. May Sam
live to enjoy many more such happy
meetings and his children the pleasure
of making them so. S. 3. g.
with the above came a huge pile Of
the excellent and fine cake that embel-
lished the bountifully prepared table on
the occasion of our friend, Mr.. Sam'l
Dufield's sd birthday, for which we
tender many thanks to the thoughtful
ness of those who prepared them and re-
membered US, and regret that cifcum-
stances were such that we could not re-
spond to the invitation and be present al
this pleasant gathering. May our Old
friend, his happy family and numerous
neighbors live to enjoy many more such
agreeable meetings.-ED. DEM

The Evansville and Seymour Railroad
Company to-day filed articles of associa-
ton with the State Secretary. Capital
stock $ 1900, 900 with J. H. McBeth
heading the directory. This is an old
project revived, and it is intended to build
the line from Evansville through the
counties of Warrick, Spencer, Dubois,
Orange and Washington, and to Seymour
distance $50 miles.
The above notice, which we clip from
the Cincinnati ENQUIRER of the 18th inst,
in which paper we found it under the
head of indianapolis News" should
ring like a bugle call to the friends of
that great proposed line OF road. The $50
miles of road from Evansville to Sey-
mour, in this direction, is a challenge to
this end of the line and we should awake,
put our shoulders to the wheel and roll
the grand enterprise through. There is
not a wheat or corn field along the line
which will not be made much more val
liable for it. Let us have the road, and
agriculture and manufacturing enterpris-
es will soon receive a new, needed and
healthy impetus, property be multiplied
in value, and we will have our needed
outlet to the markets of the northeast.
Again we say, wake up.

THE AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK.

Reports from all sections indi--
cate the growing crops 10 be in a
most promising condition. Corn,
up to some 4 or S days ago, was
never known to be further advanc'
ed at this season Of the year, bat
the continued drou,h of the past
tv weeks, has somewhat retarded
its growth. and should we fail to
get a good rain within the coming
week it may prove disastrous TO
this most important branch of ag-
riculture.
The young cotton, staple upon
which every industry has for so
long been forced 10 srcly,i is more
promising this season than for a
number of years passed. The very
early spring gave our farmers an
advantage of ten or fifteen days, OF
which nearly all ava!led the m
selves. AS general thing the COL
o~ed labo:crs have gone to work
this year with a better spirit, the
Kansas fever having failed 20 reach
Our Parish, notwithstanding an at
tempt was made some two weeks
since 10 disseminate The disturbing
malady among this credu!ous class,
by two yankee brmmers driving
the proverbial auhUe horse. The
enterprising gents came into our
midst without invitation or ptevi
ous notice and left in about the
same order: 1t is very likely they
were invited to leave, but if so
The invitation was extended without
any pomp Or outward display OF
excitement. The people OF Wcs'
Feliciana had the courage to de-.
mand the absence Of another class
OF land privates two years ago, in
the face of Unilcu States bayonets
and il is not at all astonishing The
exodus agents found this poor
field to drive ;hcir ne.arious bust
ness.

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

r. W. John G. Gordy has Just
made an official visit to the Masonic
brethren Of this vicinity. His ad-
vent is always hailed with delight
by the members Of the mystic tic.
His large experience-his unmeas-
urcd knowledge of Masonic history
and his entire familiarity with the
Masonic Ritual, cmineni|y qualify
him for the important trust Of Grand
Lecturer. Not being one OF the
craft, we were not permitted to
lis en- to his lectures in the lodge
room, but we have been Informed
that they were comprehensive and
instructive, and at times beautiful
and eloquent.
On Thursday a Masonic reunion
was held in the lodge room, and
the mothers, wives, widows and
daughters Of masons wero invited
! to be present and take the side de-
g-ces. They approached the mys-
| ter iors place with misgivings and
unste~dy steps, evidently expecting
the sudden appearance Of the fab
led Billy Goat. But in the place
Of this frighttul apparition. they
were invested with the secrets OF
the master Mason's Daughter"
and were entertained with al inter~
esting lecture from D.. Gordy.
| A sumptuous repast was prepar-
| ed in the lower hall, to which q
number of guests were invited oar
self among the number. The good
things were freely dispensed, and
a high revelry Of enjoyment contin-
ued to a late hour, when all dis
persed too full for utterance and
approaching the inadeqnacy 0!
words with which to speak the full
praise due to the projectors and
managers of this gala OCCASION.
