TROUBLE IN GREEN TOWNSHIP.
saloonist Against the Literary Society

There is trouble at Cans Corners in
Green Township. The school-housc, which
is located at the Corners, has been used for
some time past by the Acme Literary So
ciety, who held meetings there every Mon
day evening, which consisted of reading,
singing and rectations. Not long ago a
series of Temperance lectures were also civ,
en- in the school-hOuse, much to the dis
confture of the saloon on the corner oppo-
81 70.
This saloonist went to work to break up
the meetings of both the temperance people
and the society. In this he was successful
to certain extent BY getting couple OF
the School Trustees on his side, orders were
given that the school-house should no
longer be used by the society. The latter
thereupon held meetings al private resi-
dences until seeing the meanness practiced,
thev resolved to hold their meetings at the
school-house or have trouble. They got O
| majority of the Trustees to favor them and
went to the building to have meeting
| There they were met by the opposing party
and it looked as though trouble would oc
cur, but being determined, they held theil

commenced and there is no telling wha

The women of California are much
plumper than their Eastern sisters. This
is more especially true of those born on
the Pacific slope; nervousness is almost
unknown, dyspepsia is rare, there is some
rheumatism and neuralgia, and catarrh
is quite prevalent; but I should say that
the women grown average ten pounds in
weight more than those on the Atlantic
slope. The State is full of good women,
but in the large cities the moral tone is
not 50 severe as in older communities.
Californians are not religious people.
In the mining camps it is usual to work
on Sundays, and all over the State there
is but little church-going, Sunday being
day of recreation. There is less money
spent on churches and more on educa-
tional institutions than at the East.
Theatcrs are better patronized in San
Francisco than in any other city of its
