WORTH ALICKING.

Some years ago in Georgia, that band of
christians known as Ascensionists were hav-
ing grand revival. One day when the meet
ing was in full force storm came up, and
young gentleman who was out hunting with
his servant took refuge III the church door.
Being curious to see the service, the two hum
tiers crept up into the gallery, and there hid
in place where they could observe without
being observed.
'Come, Lord, come, our robes are ready.
Come, Lord, GOMEZ" cried the preacher
while all present gave loud 90 Amen -
Marsa Gabe," whispered Cuffy, lifting his
hunting horn to his mouth, "let me glib 'em
jist one toot."
Put that horn down, or I'll break your
head" replied his master in whisper.
The horn dropped by CuFy's side, and
again the minister cried: ..Come, Lord,
come! we are all ready for thy coming. Come,
Lord, comet"
''Do. Marsa Gabe-do jist lemme glib 'em
one little toot," pleaded Cufy, wetting his
lips and raising the horn.
' If you don't drop that horn I'll whip you
within an inch of your life" whisperei his
now exasperated master
"Blow, Gabriel. blow; we are ready for
his coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow" pleaded
the minister.
CuHy cOulu no longer resist the TEN pldtlOu,
and sent wild peal ringing from end to end
of the church; but long before its last echo
died away his master and himself were the
only occupants of the building.

Cuffy, showing every tooth in his head, for

DISTINGUISHED TESTIMONY.
BY REV. JESSE S. GILBERT, A. M.

a. M
Judge Noah Davis, of New York, said in a
temperance meeting held in that city few
evenings ago that his many years on the
bench had made him Prohibitionist, and
that he hoped the time would soon come when
it would be crime for one man to sell anoth-
er a single drop of liquor. Judge Dixon, in
the city of Paterson upon passing sentence
upon man found guilty of murder in the
second degree, said that he wished the man
who had sold him the liquor under the infu-
ence of which he had committed his crime,
stood beside him to share in his punishment
The legal mind of the country is rapidly be-
coming convinced that prohibition is the only
cure. Yet the Republican party of this
county (Passaic) has given us a rumseller for
sheriff for two terms in succession. 1t even
now looks as though the next sheriff would
be a saloon keeper, as a well-known man of
that business is seeking the nomination with
every prospect of success. How long, oh,
Lord, how long?"
Had Walker, the man referred to in con-
nection with Judge Dixon, been found guilty
in the first degree, saloon keeper would have
executed the extreme penalty of the law upon
him. The man who puts the liquor down the
throat puts the rope around the throat. Will
the christian conscience of this state ever be
aroused? The laocoon was not more COM
pletely in the power of the serpents of the
sea, than are we in the Shiny folds of the
worm of the still.

DR.. Sweet gives the mortality of Newport
n H., for 1883 at lis per | 1000 inhabi-
tants, very low rate. The remarkable fea-
lures in his record are, however, the small
number of deaths among young persons, and
the fact that those who passed the age of so had
an average life of 76 years. OF the thirty who
died, fourteen had passed or nearly reached
their S0th year, their average longevity being
81 years and 3 months The number attending
school was 500. Among these no death occur
ed during the year, and but one child died
who was under the school age. Such figures
bring very forcibly to mind the fact that TO
keep down the mortality bills we must look
carefully to the health Of children.

d. r. Locke, has finished series of arti-
cles illustrative of the workings in the Maine
liquor laws Prohibition has killed the rum
mills, but it has built up every other kind of
business. 1t was bad for the bar keeper, but
it proved the salvation of the butcher. The

down and die. Such as would work found
there was something in the world to do be-

TIE WATER COMPANY,
1t Is Negotiating Sale Of Stock to
Extend the Mains.

The Alturas Water Company is
quite willing to extend its mains to
all settled parts of town, but it has no
funds on hand to pay for the work
The history OF the company is we'll
known. After the fire, last fall, the
general opinion prevailed that unless
watel-works were put in, the town
might be destroyed any day. A COM
pany was organized, the business men
who subscribed to its stock feeling
that it was their duty to further the
enterprise by every means in their
power. After the mains were laid to
Main street it became necessary to put
a mortgage on the Company's property
to secure its payment. This mortgage
(of $4,000 fell due last April, and was
paid off by selling stock. Now, it is
endeavored, in order to provide means
to extend the mains, to negotiate 1900
additional shares of stock. If the nepo-
tiations being carried on to that end
succeed the mains will be extended.
If they fail, this work will have to be
delayed.
The people of Haley, ever ready to
recognize worth and extend aid to
every mertorious enterprise, are gen
orally using the company's water,
when it can BE- obtained from the
mains; and by next fall it is probable
that the revenue of the company will
enable it, if the work is not done in
the meantime, to double the length
Of Its mains within the town limits.
After that, other needed improvements
in the service can be made, until it
shall be as nearly perfect as any rea-
sonable person can desire.
The regular rates of the company
are: For business houses, S. per
month; for residences, SO per month.
These are sufficiently low.

Dor Mr. Hill owns a fence-an ordina-
rily feeble barrier, but withal a fence
whose very frailty appears to have ex-
cited the cupidity of a neighbor. Yes
terday Mr. Hill arose, as is his Gus
tom, from his couch of repOse, and went
out to visit his fence, when the surround
ings did not strike him as being in har-
mOny with the surroundings of the even
ing before. In short, two full panels of
his fence had disappeared during the
shades of night and left Mr.. Hill with
nothing save his post holes to protect him
from the rollicking depredations of the
town COW. Looking about him with the
natural indignation and wariness of a
man who feels left, Mr.. Hill soon dis
covered his fence doing guard duty
around a near neighbours premises. Did
he grow white with anger and give vent
to the feelings of his heart in choicest
vernacular? He did, and he did even
more. for he came straightway up into
the city and lodged complaint to re
cover his property and punish his
nejghbor, and now, ON tomorrow. before
one of the courts of the commonwealth,
the issue of fence or no fence" will once
more be iOined.

THE PINEY BLUFF ROBBERY.
The Suspected Party in Jail.

me suspected rarity IN Jan.
We gave a detailed account of the rob
berry at Piney Bluff on Deep river, perpe-
trated on February 28th, while Mr.. D. A.
WedmOre and his family with his clerk,
Mr.. Griffith, were ON the wharf to meet
the steamer. At distance of three hun
bred yards from the family, in open day
light, the house was entered and over
two hundred dollars worth of property
stolen, including watch, fine shot gun,
a valuable ring, clothing etc. Captain
Vinzant, of the Jacksonville police, was
appealed to in the expectation that the
thieves would attempt to leave by the
river route. Time went on and even the
vigilant captain of police failed to gain
any clue. But on Friday, one of We'd
more's friends was offered an excellent
shot gun in exchange for an old single
barreled piece and ten dollars in addition.
This aroused his suspicious and he took
the gun to Mr.. Wedmore, who immedi-
ately recognized it and caused the seller
to be arrested on a warrant issued in our
town on Saturday. The officers of the
law went out to Francis Station where
he had been living, but only found him
on their return, where he had been ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Phillips. The
suspected party is now in jail and will be
tried Monday. His name is Lucius

a Late Arrival.

a Dude arrived yesterday by one of
the river boats. 1t had a large smile on
its face as it disenbarked, and was
clothed in a billowy mass of speckled
clothes. A hotel porter, with the gold
insignia of a brigadier, tackled the inva-
der as soon as it landed, and then the
glad free smile went out of its face and it
looked positively angry over the battle
ments of a tall collar. The Dude is sup
posed to be a direct descendant of Baa-
lam's muscular mule. He is both his
torical and symboHcal. Biblical history
speaks Of him with great junction and
represents him clothed in a fall ulster
lighting out from Kabzul on a 10 40 express
train. The Dude. who struck this town
yesterday, wears its name plain after the
style of Alf Tennyson, and brought with
it an aroma of deg days and ice cream.
Whenever a town gets low spirited it
might with propriety import a Dude.
1t makes it better and cheers and sooths
it and renders it better able to fight the
battle of life.

4 Secret Society in Which Each Mem

We have information clear aud COM
plete of the organization of a society in
which the members, on initiation, are
sworn to set law and order at defiance
and support each other to the death rigbtor
wrong. The leaders of the bloodthirsty
gang are William Armstrong, Charles j.
Briggs, Percy Baily, and John T. Boyle.
No fear Of personal consequences shall
deter us from making full exposure of
these would be murderers. If necessary
we will telegraph for the United States
Army to guard us, but while we have
life and a pencil, we shall warn our citi-
zens that this organization actually exists,
that these oaths have been really admin
istered, and that the peaceful citizen is
liable at any time to be shot down in it's
obedience to the decree of a secret tri-
bunal from which there is no appeal
which hears no plea for the defence. If
this state of things existed in the South
during a campaign what a howl there
would bell! But we can allay the fears
of our readers by stating that the home
of the association is Philadelphia and that
the oldest of these oath-bounded bandits
is only thirteen! 0 why did they not
live in COpiah or Danvile!
