Moore at the City Hall last Wednes-
day evening, in honor of her dane
ing class, proved one of the most
pleasing events in the lives Of all
the little ones who participated, and
was greatly enjoyed by the parents
and other witnessing adults. The
proficiency which the little folks
have attained under Mrs Ms in
structions is a sufficient guarantee Of
her ability to teach the young good
manners and graceful movements,
and ought to insure her a liberal
patronage should she conclude to
give lessons here at any time in the
future.

THE OUTLooK.-Farmers report that
warm weather like we had last week
broughtcorn along very rapidly,grow-
ing at least two inches some days
But despite the rapid strides it
then took the crop can scarcely
reach that of an average, owing to
the numerous setbacks which is ex-
perienced early in the season. The
work of cultivating is now in prog
ress, and is being carried on by the
farmers everywhere.
F. The small graiEs-wheat, rye, oats
and barley-promise well. There
is every indication of a full crop Of
all these.
Potatoes are growing nicely and
the prospects is that they will "pan
out" to the satisfaction of the tillers.
The foregoing treats in a local
sense, while the following is given
as an indicator of the outlook
throughout the country:
Reports from along the Northern
Pacific and the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha Railroads
indicate an enormous yield of wheat
in Dakota and Minnesota. The Of
fetal bulletin of the Department of
Agriculture and Statistics Of Mani
toba states that the prospects are al
SO excellent in that region for bet
ter quality and larger quantity of
grain than last year.
Wheat harvesting is begun in
southern Illinois. The yield is some
what better than was expected, but
in some places will not come up to
half an average crop. Corn is
weedy, on account of the heavy
rains. Oats and potatoes are doing
well.
Corn in Iowa is looking more
promising than two weeks ago. Rust
is feared in the wheat.
The Indiana wheat crop will not
reach an average yield. In Michi-
gan the prospects are that it will ex-
coed the average. OF oats and bar
ley there will be extraordinarily
heavy crops.

well, and trust this will prove the
happiest event in the lives of both,

Retiring Ministers.

Rev. Jas. A DAILY, for six years the popu-
lar pastor of the Congregational Church of
Wellington, who has for some time contem-
plated giving himself needed rest and
change, preached his farewell sermon last
Sunday evening. We understand that he

will not take Pastorate anywhere at pres
ent. Mr.. DAILY by his gifts, natural and
acquired, his broad catholicity of spirit,
and his courteous bearing, has made many
friends besides the members of his own
Church, who will regret his departure.
His use Of language and ability to choose
the right words TO express shades of mean
ing is remarkable. and there have been oc-
casions when his gifts and Judgment as to
the right things to be said have been as
happy as remarkable. 8Ir. DAILY leaves a
united and prosperous congregation which
has been singularly favored during his ad-
ministration, and pastor and people ps<f

Rev w. g. Ward. for two years pastor

Wellington, has also closed his labors here

ill-health of Mrs. Ward who, though some

Sulphur Springs, Virginia, is still a suffer-
er, makes it seem imperative for him TO be
free to make such changes Of climate and
residence as may promise any hope of re-
lief. Mrs. Ward and her family have been

Rights Of the Bull In England.

A recent decision by Lord Coleridge,
c. j., in the Queens Bench Division, as
quoted by the Nes0 Jersey LGD Journal,
sounds singular here, where statutes
and municipal regulations so generally
prohibit estrays, and hold their owners
liable. Unfenced highways are increas-
ing under the protection of these laws,
and in some New England cities and
villages there are long stretches of front
yards and lawns without anv defensive
protection from the travelled street or
roadway The judge in this case ruled
that the owner of an OK, which had en-
tered the plaintiffs open shop door
while being driven through the street,
could not be held liable for damage
done He said: ave find it established
as an exception upon the general law of
trespass that where cattle trespass upon
unfenced land Immediately adjoining q
highway, the owner of the land must
bear the loss (quoting authorities). /
could not, therefore, II 1 would, ques-
ton the law laid down by such
eminent authorities, but / quite
concur in their views, and see no DIS
tinction for this purpose between field
in the country and street in a market
town. The accident to the plaintiff was
one of the necessary and inevitable
risks which arise from driving cattle in
the streets in or out of town"

Thoughts for Thinking Men.

You will save money by adopting the
amendment. The existence of the traffic
increases your yearly taxes from 40 to 80
per cent. Four-ffths of the 10000 pau
pers, three-fourths of the 200, 900 criminals,
and one third of the $4,000 insane, trace
their misery to drink. They must be sup
ported by the public The paupers alone
cost $4,000, 900, or 81 to every voter The
sorrows and tears are beyond calculation,
and every dime represents sin, every dol
lar tearl
Prohibition is success. The annual
increase of the traffic under license and
regulation proves them decided failures.
Maine and Kansas have prohibition. Look
at the facts:
Kansas-Convicts sent to the peniten-
tiary in Kansas in 1880 before prohibition,
200; in 1881, under prohibition, 1888; de-
crease, 107, almost one-half Thirty-fiye
breweries were reduced to four, and all
the Gistilleries driven from the State The
law is duly observed in four-fifths of the
State, and the traffic is daily losing ground.
Maine-In 1882, before prohibition, the
sales OF 1quor IN Maine were $50 per
capita; in 1877, under prohibition, the ag-
gregate, including sales for medicinal and
other uses, was less than $3.50 per capita
The United States revenue, which shows
the relative amount of liquors made and
sold, in Maine is cents per inhabitant; in
Kansas, cents; in Ohio, $3.50, or $50
times as much as in Maine Hon. Jas. G.
Blian says: Intemperance has steadily
decreased in Maine since the enactment
of the prohibitory law until it can now be
said with truth that there is no people in
the Anglo Saxon world among whom so
small an amount of intoxicating liquor is
consumed as among the 650,0O0 inhabi-
tants of Maine"
Vote against the Taxation Amendment,
because: 1. Its adoption is unnecessary !;
tax law can be made under the present
Constitution. 2. By repeating the anti
license clause it makes license possible
8. 1t is supported by the saloonists.
A blank vote is negative vote. This
is not party question. Vote the ticket
of your choice, and have on your ticket
the words, Prohibition of intoxicating
liquors-Yes," and the benedictions of
thousands who are suffering in sorrow will
fellow you forever.

FROM The sanitary News.
The question of the disposal of sewage
and waste matters in villages and small
cities has created vast amount OF discus
sion and suggestion. 1t involves the con-
sideration of the expense before deciding
upon a system of sewers, and also the al
most necessary accompaniment of public
water-supply. To village or city which
has not watersupply, it would be unwise
to recommend an extensive sewerage sys-
tenn, because experience has seemed to
teach that storm-water must not be depend
ed upon alone to keep sewers in properly
clear condition; and that without public
water supply to supplement sewerage
system, it does not usually prove success.
The village of Wellington. Lorain coun-
ty, Ohio, is confronted by the problem of
how to dispose of its sewage and slop-
waste. The village has "A population of
about three thousand; and has no general
system of drains or sewers; its drinking
water is obtainted mostly from wells,
eighteen to thirty feet deep; the deep sub
soil is compact clay, which dips to the
north, and rests upon a stratum of rock,
one hundred TO one hundred and fifty feet
from the surface. The village has deepen
ed upon priyy-vaults as receptacles for its
excreta, aud it Is supposed that its slop-
water has been thrown upon the ground.

Hon. ]. B. Finch at wellington.


Mr. Finch had been announced to speak
here on the 23d uft., but two days before
that time he was ordered by the w. G. t.
U. to report at Youngstown. They had
found a weak point somewhere along the
line, and this general was wanted there
and went. So it happened he could give
US only his 'rest night" Saturday evening,
and having spoken out of doors at a mass
meeting the day or night before, he was
scarcely able to speak at all, and with a
voice hoarse with cold and exposure he
talked for two hours and twenty minutes
in the Methodist Church at great disad-
vantage, but with no lack of effectiveness.
Thunder and lightning, darkness and rain,
did not prevent the house, together with
the Sunday School room, from being very
well filed. Orchestra music at the begin
ming, and an excellent temperance song
beautifully rendered by the quartette-
Franks, Wadsworth, and the Townsend
brothers-added to the entertainment.
All that has been written or said con-
cerning the ability of Mr.. Finch as a
speaker had not prepared us for the splen-
did skill with which he handled every
phase of the liquor question, and in such
mastery manner as left no shred of de-
Tense for it. For an hour he spoke of the
various forms of government and the rela-
tons between it and the governed. With
lawyers practical art, he treated his sub
ject in the cool, dispassionate, logical man.
ner that required only plain, concise, yet
exhaustive arrangement of facts that proved
their own conclusions with a force and
clearness that none could dispute. An in
telligent child could understand him.
There was no attempt at flourish, fine
rhetoric, or lofty sounding words; but his
arguments were all so well-adjusted, his
illustrations so varied and to the point, his
resources so plentiful, that there was no
resisting the conviction that what he said
was true, and that he had plenty more of
material to sustain his assertions if there
was only time to use il. Every objection
that ever has been made or ever can be
given against the practicability of putting
down and driving out the worst evil that
exists, was made to appear so absurd as
not to be named in view of the strength
moral, physical and pecuniary-that can
be thrown against it. With the logic OF
figures, the enumeration of facts, the keen
strokes of sarcasm, and irresistible illus
tration and personation, he rivaled Cough
as temperance lecturer; and if he and
Mrs. Molloy could speak in every State in
the Union as they have spoken in Ohio
during this campaign, sustained by the
same oyganized help among the wives and
mothers of the land, it would not be long
before il would be held as reasonable to
make drunkards as TO commit theft, for
gerry or murder. There was nothing dry
or tedious about the address. 1t was the
most entertaining of discourses.
