A CARD.

-
We are requested by the Junior
Order of American Mechanics Of this
city to say that although they antici-
pated fraternal visit from PhiIa-
delphia Council a few days since, the
latter utterly failed to notify the
Council Of the hour of their coming.
Had the wire even been used prepsra-
tions would have been made for their
reception. Further, the Council has
been disappointed in similar manner
by other Councils more than once
before. The hospitality of our home
Council is too well known to cause
any reflection to rest upon its mem
bers for their action in the matter.
They stand without fear and without
reproach.

The Three JudgeS.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Your extract from letter of Judge God dard in a recent COURIER, while giving very gloomy array of figures and crimes, omits two essential items to fair consideration of sthe subject, viz, how many of these crimi- suals were total abstainers? How many suf- ffered the full penalty of the law provided for the crimes they committed? The statis- tics of prisons and asylums for the insane plainly show that only Q very small percent }age of abstainers are inmates, just enough to prove the rule that all men are sinners. There is none good. Judge Comegys in your same column gives a better reason for the |crimes in Maine
 At St. Paul's in this city the other evening |one preacher said, speaking from actual per |sonal observation and inquiry, that many |villages in New England are becoming yeri- |table heather, without God and without hope. And the slim attendance at the vari- |ous places of evangelical worship in this city and the general Sabbath breaking tell sad story of the New Haveners' status as a Christian people. "ShaJl not I visit for these things ?'' saith the great Judge.
