$3.50 Verdict.

Several years ago, William E.
Butram went to Pella, Iowa, and
got drunk, as did a friend with
him. On the way home, while
crossing Skunk river they fell in
to the water and Butram was
drowned. An action for damages
against the saloon keepers who
sold him the liquor, was brought
by the guardian of his minor
child, and a verdict for $3.50 was
given. The judgment could not
be collected because the defendants
in the mean time had .sold their
property. Action was then brought
to set aside the sale as fraudulent.
The defense set up the homestead
exemption, as they lived in the
buildings in which they kept the
saloons. The Court set aside the
sale, and made the Judgment lien
on the buildings. The case came
up to the Supreme Court, and was
there affirmed.

Prohibition Stir IN Granville.
GRANVILLE, O., June 81.

ED. FREEMAN: l suppose you are
all enjoying the Convention at
Clarksburg as I write. The Tenn
perance hosts of Ohio are gradually
becoming aroused, and it is possible
that the whisky interest may meet
with somewhat of a surprise next
October. Hon. John B. Finch, of
Nebraska, is here to help US out,
and if any man in the country can
convince the people of Ohio what
is their duty, Mr.. Finch is certainly
the man.
Last Sabbath evening he talked
to us here under the auspices Of the
w. c. T. u, and we know personally
that a number of license men left
the hall with firm determination
to vote for prohibition. Such stir
has never before been created by a

Belpre Prohibition League.
Rallyi'ag for the Fight.

Mr.. EDITOR: A Society under
the name of the Center Belpre Pro-
hibition League has been organ
lied in this township.
The first meeting in this dis
trict was held at the School House,
June Is, the object being to Sc
cure votes for the Prohibition
Amendment.
A. F. Tiffany was appointed
Chairman for the evening, and P.
II. Breckenridge, Secretary
The meeting was addressed by
Rev. T. c. Walker, of Cooleville.
A Committee of three persons was
appointed to act with the Secretary
and Chairman to provide a plan of
organization H. M. Yates, J. P.
'Goodno and Miss Jane Breckin-
ridge, Committee.
The Committee met and formed
"a plan of organization which is
here given in brief.
The organization to be called
'EsThe Prohibition League of Belpre
Township" Its object is to pro-
mote the interests of the Temper
.-ance cause, and to secure by all
honorable means, the adoption of
the Prohibition Amendment to the
Constitution of the State of Ohio
at the coming election.
The officers consist of a Presi-
dent, Vice President, Recording
Secretary, Corresponding Secre-
tary, Treasurer, and an Execu-
tive Committee of three members,
one from each school district.
Our second meeting was held
June %, and the following officers
elected:
S. R. w. Mcfarland, President /;
Up. H. Breckenridge, Vice Presi-
dent; c. G. Miller, Secretary; John
Frazier, Treasurer; and H. NJ.
Yates, 'Canvassing Committee for
School District No. 3.
The League held another meet
ing June %, at which Mr.. Leonard
and Mr.. Walker made very inter-
,esting speeches, after which the
League adjourned to meet at Red
Bush, July Z.

temperance speech since we have
been here.
The absurdity of calling the
"Legislative Control" proposition a
temperance measure was clearly
shown, and we presume the Temper
ance men who vote for the measure
after hearing Mr.. Finch will be
few and far between. We have
never before heard speaker who
could make Prohibition appear so
perfectly reasonable and the argu-
ments of the whisky seller SO utter
ly absurd as can Mr.. Finch.
When West Virginia succeeds in
getting the question before the
people she can do nothing better
for the cause than send for him.
While we were getting such
sound temperance doctrine here,
our neighboring city of Newark
was listening to an attempt, by u
minister of the Gospel, to prove
Prohibition a failure.
He succeeded only in proving
himself disgracefully ignorant or
wilfully false, by making the as
sertion that Michigan had tried
Prohibition, and that the Temper
ance people of the State had petit
toned the Legislature to abolish the
law.
There may be some people in
Newark who can be taken in by
such foolish statements, but we
presume they are few. The PRO
hibition" of Michigan was "High
License" and if anyone needs any
better proof than the experience of
Michigan that License is not Pro-
hibition he must be hard to con-
viHce.
A drunken man here in Gran
vile came very near choking his
wife to death short time since.
The affair created quite an excite
ment and summary punishment
at the hands of a mob, was barely
prevented.
Well, it is no wonder that such
an affair should produce indigna-
ton; and it is a fact that more
than one wife and mother right
here in our midst, are suffering
agony, compared to which death
would seem almost a blessing, on
account of rum. Why does this
arouse no indignation? Are the
people ignorant of what is going
on right in their midst? 1t seems
impossible, and yet their apathy
betnk ems either ignorance or culpa-

A Prohibition Record.

Potter county, Pennsylvania, has
had a prohibitory law for thirty
two years, and according to a cor.
respondent of the Philadelphia
Record, the results have been emf
nently satisfactory. Speaking of
the county, he says:
"Although surrounded with H.
cense counties, her law has given
such satisfaction and is so firmly in
trenched in the minds of the pee
pie that neither political party
ever thinks of nominating legisla-
tive candidates who are in favor of
the repeal of her prohibitory law
and the restoration of ii relic of the
dark ages, which allows an insig-
nificant minority of twelve ire
sponsible persons to infiict such
terrible evils and wonderful expens-
es on whole community"

tarily that became pretty firmly estab-
lished in my mind. / could not get
out of my head picture Of coarse,
boorlsh, brutal man. We had with us
a leading officer Of Lees army. He was
in full uniform and gotten up for a
visit Of extreme ceremony. When we
reached Grants headquarters it was
nearly night. We had passed up the
sentinels with great deal of ceremo.
ny. We thought, when we reached
Grants headquarters, to find great
military scene. | expected to find
Grant, the then commander of mill
ion, in SPLENDID position, surround
ed by all the display that great mill
tary power make possible.
"But what was my surprise when !

a log house; not even sentry in front
of it. | doubted if this could be Grants
headquarters. 1t was now nearly night.

attendance to announce callers. The
door was opened by plain, medium
size man in civilians clothes. He had
a lighted lamp in his hand.
! said | wish to see General Grant.
| am General Grant, he said, in the
simplest possible way. Will you walk

We walked in and were seated by
him. He was alone in the room. From
the first he evinced the greatest
interest in the success of onr mission
| observed him closely the hour we
with him Grants simplicity and
modesty were objects Of my most pro-
found admiration / noticed, also,
when orderlies came in to receive ord
ers that these were given in an ordina-
ry voice. There was nothing Of the
commander in his directions. He usu-
ally concluded an order with the words
'go quickly" delivered in a conversa-
tional tone.
When our first consultation ended,
Grant insisted upon our sleeping upon
his headquarters boat. We asked
where the boat was. Instead of sum-
moning an orderly or sergent, Grant
said: II will go with you"
The night had now become very
dark. We came out of the log house
and went stumbling after Grant, who
skipped along with the lightness of
boy. Every now and then we would
meet sentinel. To his call of "Who
goes there?" Grant replied, "The Gen
eral of the army" He conducted US
to the boat, and then assigned us to
rooms. | think one of the best traits
of his character was the great anxiety
shown by him on this occasion to fur
ther the interest of peace. Instead OF
finding him hard and uncompromising,
ne was ready to make every conces-
sion in regard to those interests.

not insult them by threatening to fine
them because they do their duty; he
should never sentence merely because
he knows that the parties are poor and
cannot appeal; in fact, he should never
let his temper get the better of him.
Judge Mills has the qualities that are
necessary to make good judge. First,
he is gentleman; second, he is a law
yer: third, he does not lose his temper,
but treats the lawyer as one gentleman
should treat another.
During the three weeks that he has
bean on the bench there has been
hardly an appeal from his decision;
and in pronouncing verdict, he does
not do it in a boisterous and angry
manner, but is mild and gentlemanly
about it. All the members of the bar
are greatly pleased with Judge Mills,
and will continue TO do all in their
power TO assist him in maintaining the
order and dignity of his courl. 1t is
the wish of every member of the bar
that they had Judge Mills as perma-
nent instead of temporary Judge.

the colored mans organ of that city,
and he has been looking around among
the colored people. He makes the sur
prising statement that all the colored
people are in favor of Holton for gov
ernor. Stewart will distribute one
thousand copies of his paper free among
the colored people from now until the
convention meets, in Mr. Holton's in
terest.-Baltimore Day, Aug. 18th.

Intelligent colored men in the country,

like Mr.. Downing, of Rhode Island,
who supported Mr.. Sprague, and Mr..
Clarke, of Ohio, who is now supporting
Mr.. Hoadly, and the editor of the New
York Globe, declare for independent
action; but the mass of the colored vo-
