Mr.. Spurge0n In Defense.


The following correspondence from the Hart
ford Courant explains itself. 1t should be
borne in mind that Mr. Dow denies the right
of anyone to infer that he referred to Mr.
Spurgeon. No names were mentioned in his
article, and the caption in which Mr.. Spur
geon's name appears was the coinage of some
newspaper that copied tbs article.
HARTFORD, Jan Z, 1879.
To the Editor of the Courant:
Some weeks ago you published 10 the Cou-
rant statement by Neal Dow in relation to
the Incorporate habits of Mr.. Sour geon, the
great preacher of London. In common with
many others, was very much shocked, and
not knowing the truth or falsehood of the state
ment cut the extract from the paper and , en-
closing it in letter to Mr.. Spurgeon, requested
the following from him, which hope you will
have the kindness to publish. 1 can show the
original to any who may desire to see it.
Yours respectfully,
l. G. GLAzIER.
NIGHTING ALE LANE, BALKAN
Surrey, Dec. "A, 1875
DEAR SIR: If Mr.. Neal Dow knew the
truth he would not make such charges against
me. Ny manner of life is before the world.
Ask them that know me. Whatever faults I
may have, have been preserved at all times
from excess and have given no ground for
anyone to accuse me of it. [ use no alcoholic
drink as beverage, but 1 am an habtual ab-
stainer, and as a rule, total abstainer.
"Beer," of which Mr.. Dow speaks, never
touch, and l never thought, much less said,
that 1 could not keep up to my work without
brandy and beer. do not believe that these
or any other stimulants are help to any
man. Yours truly,
DEAR SIR: spend most of the hours Of the
day with Mr. SpurgeoD, and can bear per-
sonal testimony that Mr.. Dow's statements
have no basis in truth.
JOSEPH w. HAROLD,
Private Secretary.
The Courant in editorially commenting on
the above correspondence, says:
A few weeks ago the Courdnt copied from a
Journal OF high standing a strange statement
made by Neal Dow rejecting severely upon the
character Of prominent clergyman, the Rev.
G. II. Spurgeon. The statement was so posi-
tive, professedly giving Mr.. Dow's personal
observations, that it almost compelled one to
believe that Mr.. Spurgeon was a very hearty,
free and continual user of ales and spirituous
liquors. being unable to spend night with q
teetotal friend without sending out for liquor.
Subsequently il was reported that Mr.. Dow
said there was no authority for alleging that be
referred to Mr. Spurgeon in what he sand.
This was very incomplete and unsatisfactory
explanation-neither a recantation, nor an
apology. Ii is with sincere pleasure that we
| publish letter of Mr.. Spurgeon referring to
this matter. 1t will set the matter at rest,
much to the satisfaction Of all-and they are a
multitude who respect Mr.. Sourgeon for his
conspicuous abilities aud effective religious
work.

The recent nonsense rhymes about "the
young women of Worcester" are responsible
for the following in the Darlington Hawkeys
on the English names which are pronounced
respectively. "Chumley," "Beacham," ard
"Grnnage."-
There was young fellow named Cholmondeley
Who certainly acted quite dolmondeley,
When his girl said "amuse me-"
He stammered EXCUSE me-"
And then he apologized holmondeley.
His friends said his first name was Beauchamps,
ITO pronounce it you never can teauchamps),
He resided at Greenwich,
And lived upon speenwich
And artichokes when he could reauchamps.

Gossip from the White Springs

A correspondent from White Sulphur
Springs to the Sunday Leader OF Wheel
ing is highly complimentary to the
"Nail City" society. He opens an ex-
haustive letter by saying that "as so
few Wheeling people come to the White
sulphur Springs, and as | never read a
description of the place in the home pa
pers, | will devote a few lines to the
subject" Subsequently he further re-
marks-'The class of people who pat
ronize the White is excellent. The
shoddy of society is altogether out Of
place here, because the majority OF the
guests represent the best families in the
country Are We TO thus infer a reason
for the absence of Wheelingites? Cruel
johnson, thus to lay bare the standing
of your local society.-,Seubenraie Gdsette.

city's land, and the permission was
granted. When the boys were about 10
commence work, they concluded to
build OH the south instead OF the north
side OF the alley, and did so. 1t now
transpires that the land used is not the
property of the city, but OF the b. & ..
railroad, which corporation owns from
the alley southwark. Consequently the
road also is the legal owner OF the Nail
CITY boat house. They probably would
not insist upon their legal rights in the
matter, however, if the question OF
ownership should arise.
ABOUT one hundred couples came
down on the steamer Abner O'Neal yes
terday from East Liverpool, Ohio, and
spent the day in roaming about town
and taking in the various points OF inter
est in the city. The excursion was got
ten up for the benefit OF the Episcopal
Church of East Liverpool. A similar
party will come down Thursday on an
excursion under the auspices OF the
Baptists.

will afford an opportunity for pleasant

DARING YOUNG DEVILS,
Rob Money Drawer of 800, and
Escape by an Ingenious Ruse.

Four East Wheeling boys, ranging IN
age from IS years to Il, yesterday morn
ing entered grocery on Eof street,
near the Hamilton foundry, kept by a
Mrs. Truschel, and went through the
money drawer while the woman's atten-
ton was attracted elsewhere. They
secured upwards of 800, and made off
with it. In order TO prevent the woman
from following them, they pretended to
throw their booty on the floor, and she
stopped in the pursuit to gather it up,
but discovered that they had in reality
only thrown down a few dollars.
The police were notified OF
the occurrence, and furnished
with the names of the boys, who were
samuel Birch, Frank Beam, George
Wells and Charlie Price. Officer Will
liam Miller took charge of the case, and
succeeded in arresting all four OF the
boys, who now repose in the city cooler.
Beam gives the other boys away, say
ing that Wells and Price did the rob-
berry, and that he and Birch were only
silent partners in the transaction. Otii-
Ger Miller discovered where the money
had been secreted under manure heap,
but it had been removed before he
searched the place. The boys show
sad proficiency in crime for such young
chaps.

Never Return.

1t is said that one out of every four
real invalids who go TO Denver, Col, to
recover health, never return to the East
or South except as corpse. The under
takers, next to the hotel keepers, have
the most profitable business. This ex.
cessive mortality may be prevented and
patients saved and cured under the care
of friends and loved ones at home, If
they will but use Hop Bitters in time.
