There are a few young men who at
tend night services at the Methodist
church who are in the habit of laugh
ing and running out of the house during
the sermon. While they may not see
anything wrong in it, the services are
to some extent disturbed and the ladies
discomftted by having the door left
open behind them. They are request
ed to come again, but to make less
mischief.

The pair OF boots contributed by Mr..
Jacob Muller to the overfowed on the
Rhine have so far been ratified -four
times, bringing a25 at each drawing.
If they pass through as many more
hands as already, they may be pretty
well worn by the time the final owner
gets them. If they were made by any
one other than Bro. NJ, we might sug-
gest the idea of keeping the run of
them for a job Of patching, if nothing
more.

ST. Tamany Farmer The election,
last Thursday, was one OF the quletest
ever held in Covington. There were
no opposition tickets in the field, and a
very small vote was cast. This appears
to have been the case all over the par
ish. The boxes from the various wards
began to come in yesterday, but we
have not learned the number OF votes
i cast. We do not believe the total will
reach more than $50 in the entire par
lish. If Gen. Lewis had no more oppo--
sition in the other parishes than ne mad
here, his election was unanimous.

PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT.

Prohibition does prohibit or else
eyerv man that manufactures, sells or
drinks, would not be so bitterly OPP
posed to it. It is claimed by the
opposition to the prohibition that
this method of dealing with the liquor
question is unconstitutional, and that
it is Hnpractable. We must make
this measure constitutional, State and
national, never let up until prohibi-
ton is inscribed on the statute of eve
ry State, and also made the voice OF
our nation uttered in clause in the
constitution of the United States.
We can prohibit, for We do; we
prohibit selling on election days,
selling to minors, selling to Indians,
selling on Sabbaths and selling to
drunkards If we have the right to
prohibit on the above headings,
where do our Legislators obtain that
rights as 10 the impractibilitY OF pro.
hibition we can make the same argu-
ment against law that forbids mur-
der, stealing gambling, opiam smok-
ing and seduction; our statutes pro-
vide severe punishment for these
crimes, yet every court in our nation
has its list of culprits. Men that deal
in selling liquors breaks the law by
selling to minors, to drunkards and to
Indians and selling without a gov
ernment license. We punish them
when detected and caught. We don't
pretend to talk of licensing them
because they will do these things.
We must agitate until we obtain
prohibitions; pay no attention or re,
gard to the old whiskey croakers.

Oneonta, New York, Jan. 9th.
Early last summer Messrs B. ]. Kendall Co., Of
Enosburgh Falls, Vt, made contract with the pub
fishers Of the Press for half column advertisement
for one year setting forth the merits of KendalPs
SPAWN Cure. AT the same time we secured from the
firm a quantity of books entitled Dr. Kendall's
Treatise on the horse and his Diseases which

premium.
About the time the advertisement first appeared
in this paper Mr.. P. G.. Schermerhorn, who resides
near Golfers had spawned horse. He read the ad
vertisement and concluded to test the efficacy of the
remedy, although his friends laughed at his cred
ulity. He bought bottle of Kendafs SPAWN Cure
and commenced psing it on the horse in accordance
with the directions, and he informed US tbs week
that it effected such complete cure that expert
horseman who examined the animal recently could
find no trace of the SPAWN the place where it had
copy of KendalPs Treatise the Horse and his Dis
eases. which he prizes very highly and would be
10th to part with at any price. provided he could
not obtain another copy. So much for advertising

Sued for Debt on the Way from Funeral.

A strange case, and one that has
caused no little indignant comment,
was brought to light IN this city yester.
day. It seems that Mr.. Ernest NJ. Dis
ley formerly of this city, but now en-
ployed as foreman in Hartford, Conn,
owed to DR.. George b. Peck, of this city,
S2s for medical attendapce upon sick
child several years ago. The child.
however, died, and since then Mr.. and
Mrs. Disley removed to Hartford, where
they went to housekeeping. Mrs. Dis
ley, who was only twenty-five years of
age at the time of her demise, was
sufferer from consumption, and only
about q week ago she was brought from
Hartford to her mothers home in this
city to die. On Saturday the poor
woman passed away, and her funeral
was solemnized on Monday, at two
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Disley had
accompanied his wife to the city, and
had returned to Hartford, but came back
again in time to be with his wife in hef
last moments on earth. Yesterday
afternoon, about $3.50 o'clock, when be
returned from the North Burial Ground,
where he had Just Witnessed the burial
of his late wife. the grief-stricken hus-
band was arrested on,a writ for the debt
due DR.. Peck, but as he had no money
with which to pay the claim. he was
obliged to find some person 10 furnish
bail for him, and he succeeded in so
doing. Friends tried to partially settle
the debt with DIR. Peck, in order that
Mr.. Disley might be set free, but they
met, it Is stated, with no success. Mr..
Disley has the reputation of being an
honest man. but he has had so much
sickness in his family that he has been
unable to pay all of his debts when they
became due. He now has one child, q
little girl of four years.-ProUfde''ce
