Possibly the advent here of the late Senator
Treat, of Monroe and Lawrence, and his entry
upon the pastoral duties of Park Christian
church, may have had the effect to stir up the
temperance ferver. True it is, however, that
an anti-treat temperance society is being or
ganized. the members pledging themselves
neither to treat or be treated to Spirituous
LIQUORS. A similar society has been organized
at the auartermaste ster's department OF the Gov
ernment at Jeffersonville.

ships of Columbia Center and Patoka, in Glib
son county voted per cent. on the tax duph-
cate to the New Albany and st. Louis Airline

city. The conditions of the subscription re-
auire the completion of the road and the cars

the money raised from the tax is paid to the
company. A most wise provision.

The Republican Council met to night and
elected Morris Mcdonald, Republican, school
trustee over 1. s. Winstandley, Democrat, and
late incumbent. The city never had better
school trustee than Mr.. Winstandley, and he
only goes out for political reasons. Mr.. Nc
Donald, his successor, is well qua 1fied and q
warm friend of our public schools.
As this report closes the Republican Coun
Gil is in wrangle over the reduction promised
in the salaries OF city officers, and it looks like
the old standard of salaries will be maintained

good electioneering buncombe did not deceive
thoughtful Democrats, lift was potent in catch
ing the loud-meuthed patriots who talk I
great deal but pay no taxes.
The street preaching this evening was hel'

have drank from the creek the past thre
weeks. One lady lest three valuable cows.
