Last week, in Cincinnati, a man
named Hulse was declared by a jury
to be guilty Of committing a rape on
child six years of age. In order to
show the uncertainty Of human JUS
t!ce, it is only necessary to say that
the jury were out about % hours, and
the votes were about equally divided
as to whether a rape had been COM
mitted.
No wonder that the jury had this
great difficulty in arriving at con-
clusion, for the witnesses, as usual,
appear to have nearly all sworn lies in
the case.

Letter from Medina County.

MY OLD FRIEND MACKLEY-I had
almost thought of addressing you as
My little Sunday School Boy" Your
Personal Recollections" in the STAN
dard referring to bygones, brings up
the period when that was true.
There are other Personal Recollec-
tions besides our Sunday School in the
woods that are dotted in my old men,
ory, that are somewhat interesting in
these days Of great effort at temper
ance reform [ refer to the first tenn
perance society founded at Oak Hill.
1t was on this wise. After sermon
in the M. E. Church, the writer of
this ian impulsive man, always off at
first Impressions rose and in loud
voice said, Il here give notice that a
temperance meeting will be held at
my house tomorrow morning at sun
rise. [ also invite Mr.. Gray, who has
Just addressed US, to be there and make
temperance speech" The meeting
was held.
The writer then sailed out in the
yard among the people. The follow
ing action took place:
'Mr. Shelton, will you stop selling
whisky, and all intoxicating liquors?"
"Yes, if you will pay me for what
[ have on hand"
1T shall be done. Please state the
amount"
1t was stated and the money collect
ed and handed to him on the spot.
Now, Mr. Shelton, all the spiritu-
Gus liquors you have is ours, is it
not?"
Eyes, it is all yours"
Every well, then please deliver it to
us, in the street, opposite your door,
tomorrow morning at SUNRISE.
Agreed"
The bargain is made and well un-
derstood. All shook hands and re-
tired. The remainder Of that Sabbath
was spent in thankfulness that be-
ginning towards better state of
things was made, and hoping for
much good at the evening meeting.
Next morning before SUNRISE the
people began to gather. At the ap-
pointed time there was loud knock
at the door of Mr.. Shelton. In an
swer the liquor came rolling out.
The axes and sledges welded by stall
wart hands sent the liquid poison
flowing into the cutters. A little oc-
currence, slightly amusing, occurred.
An old topper appeared with a mourn
ing weed on his hat, and a woe begone
countenance.

Matter enough, King Alcohol is

The people then were ready to at
tend their meeting. They moved up
the hill-and there. true to the ap-
pointment, after listening to suita-
BILE address by Mr.. Gray, formed
temperance society, raised money for
temperance literature, and went to
work. While your correspondent re-
manned in Oak Hill this movement
was successful, and he would like to
know if it has continued so.
This was in the days Of open tenn
perance societies. No secret societies
ostensibly to promote temperance any
where. No doubt many good temper
ance men have honestly thought such
to be a good method for advancing
the cause of temperance. They did
not learn their mistake till the whole

A physician named Wilson in Clark
county, Indiana, forbade his daughter
Emma, from keeping company with
"that young Brown" Emma swore,
by her love for Brown, that she would
kill herself. She suddenly disappeared,
and the entire neighborhood, with the
exception Of Brown, turned out and
searched two days and nights for her.
The father was distracted; he sought
his loved one far and near, ''in wood
and wild" Meantime, Brown exhib-
tied great unconcern. 1t was even
limited that the cruel young man knew
where the fair Emma was hiding.
Oh, these young folks-these naughty,
naughty young folks!

Gov. Bishop pardoned life con-
vict on Thanksgiving day. The man
had been imprisoned seventeen years.
The Governor, in pardoning prisoners,
usually grants the pardon ION condi-
ton that the prisoner abstain from
the use Of intoxicating liquors" for a
stated period. It would be just as
sensible for the Governor to exact
from the prisoner solemn promise
that he would get drunk whenever he
wanted to. For that is what he will
do, in any event.

Our friend seems to forget that
there are some words which are used
both as singular and plural, but have
the singular form only, such as deer,
sheep, swine, &c. Some are so used
which are always in the plural form,
as bellows, tongs, scissors, snuffers,
&c. Some words are used both ways,
and among these we have fish, and
fishes, and the word quails is coming
to be used as quail. We always re-
sist these innovations, and would not
say that John Jones killed Is quail

Grammar is the Science Of Lam
guage, and English Grammar is the
art of speaking and writing the Eng

will see, farther along, what would be
the propriety Of using the expression

We are astonished that Mr.. Lively
discards the abbreviation lbs, and says
he can not find it in Webster's Die

so far lay this prejudice aside as to do
justice to all sections. A careful ex-

the moral condition of the whole

is not strange that God repented that

A few years ago, when the infalli-
bility Of the Pope was declared, the
Protestant world was convulsed with
laughter at such arrant tomfoolery
And no wonder In less than a year,
far more absurd idea was preached
in many backwoods localities, to-wit:
That people could become sanctifed

nor have any tendency or desire to do
so. 1t is but the truth to say, that
any person who can be brought to be-
lieve any such thing, is more or less
insane.
Here is case, showing the natural
result of such foolery. 1t is dispatch
