To the Editors of the AdUocdte:
DEAR SIRs The criticism which appeared
in your last issue of paper called IAN APP
peal. &c. - will be sufficiently answered IN
all its parts by the statement of the fact that,
of the thirty two signers, eleven are Demo
Gratis. and possibly more, as there was no ct,
fort made to ascertain what was the political
utilization of any of the parties whose names
are attached thereto at the time of the signing,
nor have all been inquired of since the appeal
was charged with being partisan paper
The article of "Vindex' invites severe an
imadversion, but It is the opinion of the
writer that the Christian ministry needs no
instruction in propriety or righteousness from
an ANONYMOUS writer, and that they can at
tend to their own business in their own way,
without any assistance from the apostles OF
the whiskey succession.
The animus of the attempt to make the APP
neal a personal assault upon the gentlemen
whose names are published in the TRADE OF
stVindex," is too TRANSPARENT to deceive any
but the ignorant, and will receive no notice
beyond this at present.
1t seems to be impossible for the party
called sVindex' to conceive OF any higher
motive actuating the ministry than that which
animates the average politician. The ques-
ton of temperance was the only live issue
connected with the recent canvass which bore
upon the interests of the churches, and 1t was
for this reason and this alone that the zap
peal'' was issued. l have no doubt that it
would be very satisfactory to ''Vindex" if the
political parsons would let temperance alone.
Alas for his hopes the parsons have taken
hold with grip of iron, and do not propose
to relinquish the conflict; of this he may be
certain. The parties must give attention to
this question, or there will he parties which
will rise upon their ruins.
The statements of the appeal will be defend
ed in whatever manner may be necessary,
shut not now;'' but as preparation for the
future we will call the attention of "Vindex"
to the Scripture, which he has learned to
quote: ''Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall" "As man thinketh
in his heart so is he. -
If 'sVindex'' will give his proper signature,
and the editors of the Advocate will promise
to print what we write in reply, we, for our
part, promise faithfully to make the further
examination ofthe appeal, which he threatens,
as entertaining and lively as he could desire,
and possibly convert him to temperance views
through the instruction he may gain.

Attention. wafer Users.

The following is of especial interest to those
who are using water, and should be strictly
carried out ON opening the kitchen in the
early morning the first thing should be to
empty the standing water from the pipes
Turn on the hot and cold-water spigots both
for few moments, so that the water which
has been standing in the pipes all night may
be run off. If you do not, then your coffee
or tea or oatmeal will be cooked in lead-water
that is, water which has been standing in
lead for eight or nine hours The early bird,
in this instance, gets all the lead or the stale
ness There is a story of oatmeal porridge,
made always from the first drawing of the
kitchen-water in the morning, that got to be a
slow poison for the invalid for whom it was
cooked. Most people fill up the tea-kettle at
the hydrant the first thing after they come
down stairs. Therefore their coffee or tea,
&C., is always made from the standing water
in the house pipes. 1t is nicer to free the
pipes by few minutes flow, and then you
are sure that the cooking and drinking water
comes direct from the iron pipes in the street.

A Carroll County knight at Delaware
Tournament.

j. H. Quill, of Hoods Mills, took part in a
tournament at Middletown, Delaware, on
Thursday of last week. He started with a
good score, taking all three of the rings in the
first tilt. He got three in the second, but his
horse failed to make time, and the rings didn't
count. The Middletown Transcript has this
to say of Mr.. Quill:
1t seems the horse he rode was too slow
As he started in the third tilt a brother knight,
at his request, tried to give him a send off by
cutting his horse sharply with carriage whip.
The horse did not take this as joke, but, as
it wasn't on the program, he got mad about
it, ''bucked'' and kicked, and Mr.. Quill went
to the ground, striking upon his head and
shoulders. He was unconscious for ten min
utes and was thought by many to be danger
ously hurt When he revived he wanted to
try the tilt over but was persuaded not to at
tempt it. This knight is said to have been
very successful in carrying off the honors at
tournaments, but here he labored under the
disadvantage of not having his own horse.

WHEN WE COMMENCE

To write about our CLOTHING, we would
like to have the 16 columns of the ADVOCATE
to describe the stock and prices, but as our
space is limited, we will only say we have the
whole of our large L filed with Cloth
ing for Children, Boys, Youths, Young Men
and Old Men, all sizes and prices. The
Overcoats for the little folks will please them
and their mothers, and satisfy the fathers in
regard to prices, and there will be no neces-
sity for the youngest boy wearing out the
clothes of the olders brothers, as prices are
low enough to buy him new clothes. Large
stock of Cassimeres and Domestics.

Waving all predictions it is now generally
conceded that rude winteris about to be inaugu-
rated, although many are yet unprepared for
his reception.
Monday, 18th instant, was the most stormy
day ofthe season here. The wind blew furi-
GUS gale, and fences were blown down in
many places; fodder which had been tied in
bundles and placed in shocks was scattered
about the fields; forest leaves were carried by
the wind far from where they grew, strewn
over the fields, and piled up along side Of
fences and deep cuts in public roads in places
several feet deep.
On Thursday morning the mercury nestled
down to 18o at o'clock.
Owing to unfavorabe weather for gathering
corn there is yet much to be husked, and cold
fingers are expected. Growing grain presents
a very healthy and favorable appearance
throughout western Carroll.

Weakness and Whisky.

There is danger, however, that we may lose
sight of one very important fact by dwelling
too exclusively on the pernicious influences of
the saloon-the fact that it is human nature
and not whisky that is principally at fault.
If men will let whisky alone, whiskey will let
men alone. Whisky never takes the initia-
tive; it never hunts around for man to
wrestle with. You may put whisky in a bar
rel, and if you don't open the barrel the
whiskey will not get out and attack men.
You may put it in bottles in a bar-room, or in
glasses on the counter of bar-room and if
men will stay out of the bar-room the whisky
will not hurt them. A saloon-keeper, also, is
without the physical force to make men drink.
The man who makes it his policy to stay out
of saloons and to abstain from drink is not
knocked down by saloon-keepers and dragged
into saloons and filed with whisky. All of
which means that there is weakness of char
acter in men which allows them to become
the victims of whisky and of whisky dealers.
At the bottom of every case of drunkenness
there is a measure of moral imbecility. One
of the conditions of moral soundness is
careful observance of all the laws of physical
and moral health A man is not morally
sound who allows himself through careless
ness OF ignorance to become the slave of
bad habit he is not altogether sound who
allows any danger to come near him.-At-
acdukee Sentinel.

! Our Warfeldsburg correspondent writes -
/ On Tuesday evening last the Sabbath School
of the Brick Meeting House, assisted by Mr.
Andrew Albaugh and family, celebrated its
annual entertainment at the Brick Meeting
/ House.
The exercises were opened with song of
praise, after which Master Guy Albau 1
greeted the audience with an address of well
come. The singing of "Gathered Home,
by the school, followed, when Edith Smith
rehearsed very creditably "a Child's Treu-
bles.' and was followed by 'sWhat is FAITH
which was commercially rehearsed by Flor
ence Bowers. Master Guy Albaugh, child
| of but years. as organist, rendered solo in
a manner that would have been creditible to
one of maturer years. We must confess that
we were not only greatly surprised, but highly
pleased with the talent of Master Guy, and
unhesitatingly predict bright future for him.
"a Weeks Work, rehearsal by Florence
Smith, was followed by duet, when "a Fool
ish Maiden was admirably rendered by Irene
Albaugh This was followed by "Listen to
Mamma, by Florence Forest, following which
was duet, entitled 'Walk in the Light
which was highly appreciated. Didn't Think
was acclaimed by Master Milton Englar; then
came a solo, Crock of Ages which was
beautifully rendered by Irene Albaugh
'sCounting the Pennies, rehearsal, by Eva
Englar, followed, when Master Robert Miller
acclaimed '.If were Man, Ella Bowers
rehearsed ''Would II "a Child Soliloquy''
was rendered by Florence Forrest.
This was one of the treats of the evening.
The self-possession and inimitable manner
with which it was rendered was certainly very
commendable The difficulties of the ''School
Marin were then humorously shown. Sing
ing of Glove at Home,' by the school, fol-
lowed after which the evening entertainment
closed with select reading by Irene Albaugh.
The entertainment as whole was a perfect
success, and reflects great credit upon Mr..
Albaugh and the pupils of the Brick Sab
bath School. Mr. Isaac G. Forrest, in behalf
of the school, kindly thanked the audience
for their attention, and extended an invitation
to all to be present at their Christmas festivi-
