Legal ethics abound in many salu.
tsry principles that if reduced to prac-
tice win the appreciation of we'll
bred. law abiding citizens, and carry
terror to the hearts of evil doers, No
better illustration of the above has
been afforded hereabouts this many a
day than the action taken by the May
or in enforcing the statutory enact
ments of Ohio in relation to certain
class of transgressions that are among
the most evil and corrupting. For a
long time many complaints have been

place on Mill street aud the Flowers

but no one ever filed any written com =

dens of iniquity grew more and more
reckless and shameless in their con

iicemen to obtain sufficient help to

toughs to their common rendezvous
Officers Lewis and Bowman, accom-

We recently had the pleasure OF
making partial tour of the beautiful
grounds composing the extensive nur.
sery of Frank Ford & Son, and in our
labarynthal wanderings among the al
most infinite variety of nature's.speci-
mems there to be found, we noticed
long rows of bushes laden so heavily
that they were literally bowed to the
ground by the weight of solid banks
of fruitage. They were the celebrated
Crasdall currant, that in size, pro-
ductiveness. beauty, flavor and solidity
excel everything in the currant line
we ever saw or tasted. Their size is
something wonderful. many of them
being as large as grapes, which they
closely resemble in color. We were
kindly furnished with a liberal supply
with which to test their merits, and
are free to say they are to our mind
the ne plus ultra in the currant line, par
ticularly for table sauce. and pies. 1t
will we'll repay anyone to 60 and see
them growing, for mere words are in
adequate to describe their appearance.
Visitors are always welcome.

Sunday the Rev. DR.. Marquis, OF
Rock Island, delivered q sermon
against the sin of dancing. Here is
sample extract:
1.-THE hour is late. There is a de.
licious intoxication of motion and
music - perhaps of wine - in the
blood. There is strange, confused
sense of being individually observed
among 30 many, while yet che natural
noble shame which guards the purity
of man and woman alone together is
absent. Such is the occasion, and
still hour after hour the dance whirls
its gay kaleidoscope around, bringing
hearts so near that they almost beat
against each other, mixing the warm
breath together, darting the fire OF
electricity between the meeting
fingers, flushing face and tightening
the eyes with quick language
