The Temnerance Lecture.


Doubtless a good many of the large
audience which assembled at the Chris
tian church last Saturday evening were
drawn thither out of curiosity, to see and
hear how Mr.. Dove would present his
theme on this his first appearance here in
the character of lecturer. lie was in
troduced by DR.. Hitchcock. and gave the
audience to understand the seriousness of
his purpose at once by reading portion
of scripture and offering prayer. With
our limited space We cannot give more
than u meayrc outline ol Mr. Dove's re-
marks. He read statistics TO show the
terrible cost of strong drink to the nation
at large, and then considered the subject
as it affected our own community. He
thought church members were to blame
for tolerating Il license law, and had un-
Christianity to abate the evil, if it were
only properly applied.
Mr.. Dove showed disposition to treat
the knotty problems of temperance re-
form in the same way that he is wont to
handle other knotty things in the linc'of
his professionally sturdiy cleaving them
through, without malice, yet without
weakness. The audience was kept in a
good humor throughout. and could not
restrain frequent applause, in church
though it was. Tie speakers fairness was
evinced by his offer to further prove his
statements to any skeptic who would
come up to his house ''some rainy day.
and also to willingly take back anything
he had said which bore down on saloor
keepers, if he could not prove his accuse
tions.

Missionary Meeting.

The programme of exercises for the An
nual Meeting of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society. which we printed u
week ago, was admirable carried out last
Sabbath evening. The addresses made
and the papers read showed that these Ia
dies were possessed of good heads as well
as warm hearts, while the music was so
good that We could wish the ladies would
take charge of it oftener. The subject OF
missions is apt to bring up visions of Mrs.
Jellsby and her schemes for sending
praycr-books and f1annels to the benight
ed natives of Booriaboola Cha; but the
benefcent influence of missionary work
upon civilization and commerce, as vel
as upon individual lives, was strongly ant
logically presented on this occasion. Tht
church was crowded.

Gamblers In Trouble. :

The arrest of John Miles. q colored
gambler. on the complaint of one Henry
Seaman. last Monday. was the beginning
of decided sensation in our usually qui-
ct town. 1t appears that Seaman had
got the worst of it in little game OF
draw. and after he had been cleaned out
by Miles had proceeded against him un-
der the State law for restraining gambling.
Miles showed fight when arrested by Mar
shal Everett, and had to be restrained by
force from pitching into the informer
against him. The case was tried before
Justice Baldwin, Frank E. Morrill,. ESQ.,,
appearing for the prosecution, and the
prisoner found guilty and fined $1O No
sooner had this been settled by sympa-
thizing friends than Miles turned the To-
bles by swearing ouea warrant against
Seaman. The latter took fright before
the paper could be served. and attempted
to run away from the officers, when a
regular chase down the streets ensued.
The officers were too swift for him, and
captured him before he could cross Cooks
mill pond. He was then tried and fined
the same as Miles, but was less fortunate
in that he was unable to pay.
Growing out of these prosecutions were
the proceedings against the landlord Of
the Redwood House and w. Nelson. one
of his boarders. who were charged with
willfully permitting rooms in that house
to be used for gambling purposes. in
violation of one of the village ordinances.
A jury was impannelled and the trial of
Strausell continued until Wednesday af
ternoon, when the case was given to the
Jury. who returned verdict of not guilty
after being out Il short time. Nelson's
trial was set for Tuesday for no IN, but
the hour was passed and the prisoner dis
charged by the court. Another process
was issued for the re-arrest of Nelson on
the same charge. but he had not been
found by the marshal at last sdvices. In
these cases before Justice johnson, F. l..
Morrill, appeared for the prosecution and
Judge Baldwin for the defense.
Whatever result may follow these ar
rests. if the travelling gentry who ply
the gambling trade can be kept away by
fear of them. and landlords made more
careful about what goes on in their hous-
es. the community will be the better.

This incident 10 given in dispatch
from Morris: As . wood train was ap-
prOaching Chokio station, lad about IL
years old tagged the train with his coat.
which was lined with red flannel. and
stated to the conductor. with tears in his
eyes. that his family he'd been without
wood for three days and WERE in great
suffering. The sympathy Of the train
men was aroused. and they threw him of
cord of wood. When the little fellow
was asked how he would manage to have
1t conveyed to his home. he manfully re-
piled that he would pack it on his back:
that he was not afraid of work.

Here is pretty apology for foolishness
which we came across the other day-an
extract from Chas. Lambs essay on "All
Fools Day."
Il have never made an acquaintance
that lasted or friendship that answered.
with any that had not some tincture OF
the absurd in their character. vcnerate
an honest obliquity of the understanding:
The more laughable blunders man shall
commit in your company, the more tests
he giveth you that he will not betray o1
overreach you. love the safety which
palpable hallucination warrants--the
security which word out of season rati-
fies. And take my word for this, reader,
and say that fool told it you. if you
please, that he who hath not dram O1
| folly in his mixture hath pounds OF
much worse matter in his composition"
