special sermon on this subject was delivered last
evening to alarge and attentive audience by Rev.
Dr. J. o. Murray in theIBrck church. corner of Fifth
avenue and Thirty-seventh street OF the numerous
sermons on this subject delivered at intervals by
rOus clergymen during the past winter the present
discourse was most plain spoken and explicit and
forcible in its delneatlon Of the sociaaev and sug
gestons of remedial measures to stay its progress.


The reverend speaker took as the basis of his dis
course the text Luke vii, 31:-"In the city there was
woman and she was sinner" His opening re-
marks were explanatory Of the of the social
evil. The foremost cause was alleged to be seduc

This was set forth as pitfu story for Christian ears


N e
pressing want to lead young girls to their ruin 1t
was next urged that the increasing multiplicity in
the number OF fallen women s trouble to society, to
Christian society in too limited efforts in seeking out
the poor and too little acquaintance with the tempta-
hood. tbeOnged to the Christian people of the city to
soe TO 1t that shall suffer such terrible want,
compelling the bartering away OF their souls for
bread; to to 1t that abundant lodging houses
furnished for such PERSONS and food for them to eat
The treasures Of modern society," the luxury and SEN
suaty OF the times and publ c tastes now shown as
aiding to increase the number of fallen women. In
this connection the speaker strongly and eOquenty
condemned the kind of dances and dress in vogue in
fashionable circles, and the subsdizing OF art and
the press to icentious tastes. pure press, he in
sisted, would do much to prevent the evil, and his
denunciations OF yellow literature and the modern
illustrated papers were most pointed and fOrcibe.
The second and concluding portion OF his discourse
dealt with the remedies necessary to allay the
existing evil. He adverted to the good that was be-
ing accomplished In this city through the efforts OF
the Midnight Mission He believed In the reformation
OF fallen women the example OF Jesus Christ long
since taught it, and its possibility every day be-
ing illustrated He would snatch these fallen women
as brands from the burning he would treat them
Christ treated them-as beings possessing immOr-
tai souls. He closed with an appeal in aid Of the
Midnight Mission.

TUTTLErowS, Oct. 18th, 1868.


Ed. UNION DEMOCRAT 1t is altogether
unnecessary 20 advise the keeping of our
shirt on, as we have but one and that sticks
as tight as the hide to negro's heel. Your
apology and explanation of the causes which
led to the disappointment complained of are
perfectly satisfactory to the Dems. of Tuttle-
town, and we herein apologize for the strong
language used in our communication of Sept
2lst. " Humpback' seems to stick in your
craw, and in order to correct any misinter-
probation OF the phrase, We will simply say,
that 10 our vocabulary it means--blowhard
For living illustration of the latter phrase
We refer you to the first man you neet in the
streets of Sonora. If he be lawyer, the illus
traton will be perfect-but any of its gas
bags will do. But remember we take il all
back, so none of your railing at the Lord 8
anointed. You threaten us with blast from
Sargent. Did l ever see Sargent? Is he
the man that looks so much like gasometer
on stills with face looking very much like the
last rose of Summer? II he is the man send
him along and we will learn him to dance
the dance that David danced, before he leaves
the burg; we will also learn him to play
pitch trump. 1t is ali the rage in Tuttle-
burg at present-everybody plays it. Come
down and take hand.


would not have the slightest objection to
sending you my name, but for two reasons =
the first and most important of which is /:
that at an organization of the Klu Kiux
Klan, which took place under the FAST blue
neon, | with the rest of that august BODY
swore on the bloody head of bleeding Radi-
cal never to make known under any circum-
stances the name of any member thereof.
which includes mine all same. My second
reason is that my name stands out in bold
relief on the delinquent subscription list of
the UNION DEMOCRAT, and am very much
afraid tha. you would toot your horn at me
if you found it out. Hoping the above rea-
sons are sufficient to satisfy your inquisitive

The following directions deserve to be cut out, and kept for the use and guidance ofevery family. There is not one of our readers but in the course of his or her experience, has had or will have use for one or more of them:

 Presence of mind, under nearly all the conditions, is half the battle.

 l. If a man faints. place him fiat on his back, and let him alone.

 ,. If any poison is swallowed, drink, instantly half glass of cold water, with q heaping teaspoonful each of common salt and ground mustard stirred into it. This vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach; but for fear some of the poison might remain, swallow the whites of one or two raw eggs, or drink a cup of strong coffee, these two being antidotes for greater number of poisons than dozen other articles known, with the advantage of their always being at hand; if not, a pint of sweet oil, or lamp oil, or drip pings,' or melted butter, or lard, are good substitutes, especially if they vomit quickly.

 3. The best thing to stop the blced- ing of moderate cut instantly, is to cover it profusely with cobwcb, flour and salt half and half.

 1. If the blood comes from the wound Inv infs ar cpitfc bo cprx or tho man will die in few minutes, because an artery is severed; tie handkerchief loosely around, near tho part between the wound and the heart put a stick between the handkerchief and the skin, and twist it around until the blood ceases to flow keep it there until the doctor comes if in n position where the handkerchief cannot be used, press the thumb on spot near the wound, between the wound and the heart in- crease the pressure until the bleeding ceases, but do not lessen the pressure for an instant before tho physicians ar riyes, so as to glue up the wound by coagulation or cooling of the harden ing blood

 ,. If your clothing takes fire, slide the hands down the dress, keeping them as close 10 the body as possible, at the same time sinking to the floor by bending the knees; this has smothering effect upon the flames; if not extinguishcd, or great headway gotten, lie down on the floor and roll over and over; or better cnvclop your- self in carpet-rug, bed cloth or any garment you can get hold of, always rreferring wooden.

 6. If the body is tired, rest; if the brain is tired, sleep. I

 '. If the bowels arc loose, lie down in warm bed, remain there aud eat nothing until you are well.

 &. If the action of the bowels docs not occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom until they do act, at. least for thirty-six hours, meanwhile drink largely of cold water or hot teas, and exercise in the open air to the extent of n gentle precipitation, and keep this up until things are rightcd This sug- gestion, if practiccd, would save myr- iads of lives every year, both in the city and the country.

The strangest case of fatal present. ment we ever heard or read of, oc' cured few days ago, on the Char lotte pike.

 Young Jim Hally, of the Hally family, boy about sixteen or seven teen years of age, very clever, intelli. gent and courageous, was working out in potato patch all day. About three o'clock he came in much disturbed in mind, with somewhat wild express sion of face, and sat in an easy -chair in the parlor, and began to rock to and fro furiously. His mother found him in this condition, and anxiously in- quircd what was the matter. He made no answer, but continued to move backward and forward in the chair.

 After, a little, the father, who had been in town, returned, and was shocked to see his son in SO unaccount- able condition of mind He became apprehcnsive that mental disorder had taken hold of him, as it had his own father upon many occasions. After many unavailing attempts 10 force the young fellow to speak, he lifted him out of the chair and brought him to the verandah. The storm was coming up at that time, and the lightmngs played occasionally in tho horizon. Suddenly, as young Hally's eye caught one of the far off flashes, he jumped to his feet, and throwing up both hands, exclaimed in loud voice: "Fathcr, am going to die" and rushed away to the potato patch where he had been working, and took his position under large tree.

 The father called for some help and followed him. Whilst the elder Hally and the hired man were cndeavoring to persuade the boy to go back to tho house, flash of lightning came which rent the tree from it's topmost branch to the roots. One of the limbs struck the young fellow on the head appar- ently q slight blow. He fell down and never brcathcd again. It left nothing but a smal. black mark on tho right temple. 1Ic was fair, incliming to sal low complexion, but after the fatal stroke blush suffuscd his check. The expression of lis face was that of one in the possession of serene peace and heartfelt joy.

 As round the ring he fled The dust that flew up round the track Fell thick upon his head. Yet beautiful and firm he stuck,

 As born to ride wild ponies A creature of uncommon pluck,

 With Joeko running after, Brayoes from the crowd they drew, Convulsing all with laughter. Jocko leaped with splendor wild, Carrying his tail on high, And sat behind the gallant child With mischief in his eye. There came q burst of loud applause The boy--Ol was he there?

 Can any one tell how young men who dodge their wash women, and are always behind with their landlords, can play billiards night and day, and are always ready for game of poker or seven up?
