TENTH NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
The Ninth National Temperance Conven-
ton, held in Saratoga Springs, 1881, re-
queSted and empowered the National Tenn
perauce Society to call another convention
in the series, when, in their judgment, the
cxigenccs of the case should require.
The Board Of Managers of the society,
believing the time has fully come for such
convention, appointed the following COM
mittee to issue such q call.
We do, therefore, earnestly and cordially
invite oil associations Of ministers and
churches, oil general assemblies and synods,
all general and annual conferences classes,
presbyteries, and religious national or State
conventions, all natl ional aud State TEN.
perance organizations, oil womans national
and State unions, Grand Divisions Sons Of

to send delegates to national temperance

same variation of this rule may apply to
other organizations similarly constituted.
In case any presbytery, association,
conference or organization, shall not
be in session after the issue of this call
and prior to the meeting Of the convention,
or shall fail to appoint delegates, the presid-
ing officer, or, in his absence or failure to do
so, the secretary may appoint the salno. All
delegates must have credentials duly signed
by one or both of the officers Of their respec.
tive bodies. Vacancies in delegations may be
filled By theremaining delegates. 1t is pro-
posed that the convention shall be composed
entirely of delegates from delegative bodies
and not from subordinate organizations
Temperance matters have never had mora
hearty recognition from oil classes of society
than today. More than ever curse us, and
breathe out threatenings against us, but more
also pray and work for us. Lines of opposi-
ton are more sharply drawn, and the num-
Der of tho Indifferent is being steadily re-
duccd.
1t is therefore in the highest degree neces-
sary that all friends of temperance, forced by
new perls and new opportunities, take coun-
sci together for a forward movement against
this special agent of that vile trinity: the
world, the flesh, and the devil.
Arrangements have been made for q re-
duction of fare on the principal railroads
ana at the hotels For particulars apply to
the Secretary of the committee.

Little Daisy Hibberd, the twelve year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K Hlo-

late yesterday afternoon, with mao
dog. The dog belonged to her and was
very large animal, almost as tall as
the child herself, aud known oy
the familiar name Of Sankey. Ihe
little girl noticed that the dog kept
swapping at his companion, called
Moody, so she concluded to go cut and
tie her dog, never dreaming or stopping
to think that he might possibly be mad.
AS soon as she came near where the dog
lay, he sprang at her with all the fury
of maddened animal, jumping on her
shoulders with his fore feet and trying
to get hold of her throat. The little
girl, with the presence of mind, courage
and strength of man, almost, seized
the dog by the throat, choking him with
MIGHT 53 ~ main and holding him off at
arms length wRlls1 s1ai. = was swapping q auu ha,
