ANOTATION OF q. AR. POST.
Address by Gen. r. IS. SleyIn, OF Toledo.

i'EMBERvILLE, Dec. 10, 'S6.
After few words Of welcome by The
Superintendent of the Union Schools, Gen.
Slevin gave history OF scenes in the war
that came under his own eye and grand
encomium Of men under his own command.
Their unhinching frmness under fire in
the battle Of Atlanta when he was wonni-
ed In the shoulder and thigh, and where
he lost nearly one-thrd of his regiment.
II recital oil burial scenes after the battle
and the department of his men and the
soldiers as body after their return home.
The General WINS greeted with enthusiastic
applause and his address gave the audience
deep conviction of the high merits of
his comrades in the G. A. r both as SOL
diers and citizens.
The Rev. N. T. Fay being called to
speak, remarked that he could say nothing
to give the audience a clearer conception
of the value of soldiers services 10 his
country than had been given, and declined
making speech. He merely said the
American people will appreciate what has
been done by these men and will demand
that each one Of them be placed on the re
tired list, n roll of honor, with ample pay
in pensions, bounlieS, and monies due.
He alluded 10 the well-known case of the
color-bea arer who said TO his comrades who
wanted To take him away, "No let me die
right here under the old flag"
General Slevin then came forward and
gave the audience severa cases in his own
command OF men who had exh ibited the
same God-like traits Of character That the
house was wrought up to a high degree of
enthusiasm by the Generals words may be
inferred from the result. Between four and
i've hundred dollars were contributed to
the Soldiers Relief Fund before the meet
ing closed. A one hundred dollar bill
was found In the hat, supposed to have
been contributed by Fosioria banker who
was present. May his spirit rest on Amer
lean bankers and may these men be duly
honored before they all sleep in soldiers
graves. 4.

It is not as well understood as il ought
TO be, that the saloon is not generally
law-abiding institution, md that there is
great difficulty in making it liw-abiding
institution.
Here is a case illustrative as taken from
the Herald and P,esbyter, of Cincinnati
One of the mos, high-handed outrnges
ever perpetrated on justice was reported in
our city papers last week. A very promi-
nent saloonkeeper was tried and convicted
in Police Court for selling to minor. 1t
was regarded by Judge Fitzgerald as an
aggravated case, and the defendant was
fined 500 and sent 10 the Work-house
for ten days. The prisoner was over
whelmed by the situation as soon as he
realized the force of the sentence. The
idea of a man of his standing and moral
character being treated "a II common Grim
inal was not to lie thought Of for moment
AZ soon ns judgement was pronounced,
droves OF his friend. besieged Judge Fiz-
gerald for suspension of the Work-house
sentence but his Honor positively refused
to suspend an hour OF the time. Later eff
forts found the Judge obstinate. At nine
o'clock Monday night n secret meeting OF
the Directors of the Work-house was cal
led at the Mulhnuser Brewery, a majority
of the members being present, and the
immediate release Of Joseph Brey was
ordered, and by ten o'clock he was behind
his beer counter again.
When the news of the release reached
police circles, indignation was unbounded.
and the reports in the morning papers
have fred public indignation to white
heat. When Judge Fitzgerald was inform
ed of the facts, lie expressed great aston
ishment and said
1t is an outrage on common decency,
and am of the opinion that it should
and will be rebuked. never before heard
Of more high-handed ouIrage. A
number of very influential citizens came
to me in behalf OF the prisoner, and much
as.I should like 10 accommodate them, l
could not conscientionsly do it. The youth
are becoming worse every day, and hardly
week passes but what n half dozen boys
are before cour; ON the charge Of drunken
ness. II the citizens can stand such actions
by an official board, | can.
What the outcome will lie, we can not
indicate, but we do know, that unless
there is cessation of such higl-handed
official disregard for law and common
decency, there will be IN upheval OF so
ciety that will surprise the respectable and
moral upholders OF lawlessness.

ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE.
Lecture by Dr, Thayer, at the Christian
Church, Last Night.

(Toledo Blade, 9th inst.)
Passing this city for lecture tour in
the West, DIR. A. j. Thayer, OF Pennsylva.
mia, now under The management of the
Slnyton Lyceum Bureau, of Chicago, drop
ped off, and gave n lecture "AlcOhol w.
Life" at the Christian church last night,
brief synopsis of which follows:
The lecturer began by stating that
thousands of misinlormed people were
going to hell ON medical purposes 1t is
lime This hobgoblin were unmnsked. If
the delusion that alcoholic drinks were
ever necessary. in health or disease. is
once di.pelle,i, the way to sobriety and
total abslinen will be cleared Of formi-
ialle obstacle.
lie then entered upon the consideration
OF the chemistry Of alcohol, showing how
1t was produced, and some Of its chemical
characteristics. lie made this radical
and surprising statement, viz: "AlcUhol,
in the blood, undergoes no chemic ]
change whatever" The importance ot
this fact, which the speaker denominated
M "ihe lefl-hnnd gillar Of the temple OF
scientific temperance, WAS shown in the
fact that the basis OF the large part of the
Prescriptions of alcohol WAS the SUPPOSE
lion that IT underwent combustion in the
blood, and thus produced heat and force.
This has been thoroughly disproved, and
the doctor instructed his audience low to
make the lest and prove TO any one that
alcohol leaves the body as il entors il, hav-
ing undergone no change. This fact the
doctor backs, not only by his own expert
ence and observation in practice, hut by
the testimony Of more Than 200 eminent
physiologists Of this country and Europe.
| Passing from the chemistry to phySIolog-
ical action OF alcohol, he showed its bane-
fnl effects upon the constituents Of the
blood and blood vessels, as well as upon all
parts Of the body. Here il was shown
how that alcohol not only does moi warm
the body, hut reduces the animal heat
This effect il produced by the partial des-
| tructiOn oi Tie cOrpuscies, or ihe rehhctioi
of their carrying power, thus limiting the
amount of oxygen carried 10 the tissues
and hence the combustion prodnced and The
heat generated. He also exhibited som'
"a colored drawings showing The ditieren
diseases produced IRON the use OF alcoholic
liquors. These drawings were made from
port mortem examinations, and presenie'
terrible sight and one not soon to b
|, rgolten. The doctor discards slcohu
almost entirely from the mater'a medic
, and declares that, If annihilated, medlca
, practice would experience no sh ock.
. DR., Thayer was thoroughly educated IN
medicine and pracliesd II several year
1 and hence speaks with authority on III
I subject.

A Real Gusher.-Wood county has
really come to the front with one of the
largest, if not the largest, oil wells in
the State, 1t has been asserted by ex-
perts that the geological formations give
strong indications that jackson, Liberty
and Henry twps. contain beneath the
fountain head of the oil region in the
State. Large tracts of land were leased
months ago in this section. A well has
been sunk half mile southeast of Ham,
mondsburg, on the farm of David Full
ton, in Henry twp. On Monday, 9th
inst, when about 80 feet down in the
Trenton rock, a roaring noise was heard
in the well when the drillers stopped
the drill and barely had time to get out
of the way when tile oil spouted up 80
feet high. 1t was some days before the
tools could be got out of the well and
the tubing put in and the flow shut off.
1t is estimated that the well was flowing
at the rate of 200 to 900 barrels day
while it was allowed to escape. Excite
ment flows as high as the oil and spec
ulators are flooding the country TO lease
and buy land. Prices have become

REMARKS the Tribune, with reference
to the Neeld robbery Of the banks by
fraudulent warehouse receipts: This
would never have occurred had there
been a law extraditing criminals of that
class who skip to Canada to avoid the
penalty Of their offenses. PROFESSIONALLY
Neeld argued that if he were successful
in his operations he would amass large
sum of money for future speculations.
If he were not successful few hours
would place him out of the laws reach,
and in his harbor of refuge he could re-
main altogether or at some time in the
future compromise with his creditors and
return. 1t was really chance of living
luxuriously in Chicago or living luxuri-
ously in Canada. Had there been an in
ternational agreement between the United
States and Great Britain to send back
embezzlers and thieves this defalcation
never would have occurred, or had it oc-
CURED Mr.. Neeld would even now have
been on the road which leads to Joliet.
Had the penitentiary stared Neeld in the
face the banks would not have lost their
money, for it is not conceivable that a
man Of his prominence would deiber-
ately choose to go to the penitentisry.
