Rrfferred rota

: Our country is chang
,ingPwcinderfully. ' I was - particularly inv.
-pressed with this fact lately While passing
through a portion - of your county.
You remember, 1 erhaps, in
,the . days of
iyour childhood of hearing of the "Four
!Mile Woods." They commenced at :
Tavern" in Orwell, andter
'rninated at Doane's, In Windham. About .
in the middle of these Woods are the
headwaters of the Wysox creek and:Nud
creek, the' latter a branch bf the Wapp.l
- creek; both heading spring called
Shoemaker's spring. ~The latter running
north.-and emptying into the Sustprehan
nalrivr at Nichols Corners, the . former
running 'south an d emptying into the
same - river about three miles below To
wanda. But the eleyation,.is_so, 'slight
that Ali eArayeler would :liard I y:'" flank tlat;:,
'he jait'..9: - riivg , :.;.66 -Where,' two
EfCit‘anis -*re: formed; each ruiiiiirk lit op.

. Fatlntitry years therew4.s, not ..allught:

which 14thron1.111 these welds, bait 41 - I . S
one continued howling wilderness. A'
traveler Passingothrlugh one day, saw a
deer cross the road, rauning at its hottest
speetli . lolling with
,its tongue out of its
Mouth; : in - a few moments; .on . time a
wolf in full chase; soon a second one; and
Close behind this a third one—the latter
yelling at every jump, while the two for
`Oer . oneslept perfectly quiet. This,. by
01 . hunters, is saill to be their -usual Otis
tit o
k .
f pursuit. Such things were} coin- 1
Mon 1 the days of our fathers.
But 1 w the Woods along - thisioad s have
entirely e - appeared„ and evol the steep,
- t\
rough side- ills:are nearly ail cleared up.
The land as A :general thing is .poor— .
rather below t e'- average. But culture
makes a- wonder tl change in • it. The
farm of ELMAII Sin EMAKEIi: is the best
on the route. , Althot gh it embraces "the
summit," yet; it is the b ost level of any
one in the witole distance; and gives evi•
donee that thei - iihn who li 'es there, not
eply knew how to choose a flt p, but also
how to, work one His ' bulb ings,.,his
fences and- his Gelds, show that l .is no;
afiraid of work. lie has . "made t -.,-wit
derness and . the solitary place to bud nd .
blossom as the rosn." Some of t e
ether farms, give evidence of thrift am
comfort; while otheirs;look :IS if it would'
takOinany yeats of hard labor and much
capital to make them any way desk Mile

THE PROHIBITION PARTY
Two years ago,,some of our temperance
friends in this county litecoming impatient
•at the slow prOgress which . / the temper-.
ance 'cause had made, ;forgetting that
moral refttlins move slowly, that .Christi
anity itself has been preached in the world
for more than eighteen hundred years,
and still does not cover the earth as the
Waters ciiver tlieSea; organized apolitical
party for tho •sole, purpose of obtaining
the passage of a law prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating drinks. After an active
'campaign, in which meetings were held
in all parts of the county and documents
scattered . as plentiful as _leaves in Au
tumn; they Succeeded in polling about
four hundred and sixty votes. Whether
they were disheartened by the result, as
not being commensurate with the amount
of time and money they had expended to
,proctrie .s it,l3. whether it was owing to
- produced ,by over,
Wiirk unit, the necessity of a long rest, that
,thpy allowed their party to sleep for two
years : re not informed. We can-only
ccAffXttiiii' , tliat the leaders. in the -move
ment, after lookingAlio field over las fall
and finding the Republican party 'United,
and tearing that instead of , making a re
spectable increase, there - would-be a fall
ing off in their irote,wisely concluded that
it would not be"si good:time to call their
party out, Intl - . se have 'permitted it to
slumber for Vwtyyars. may:zbe. that
such a ionU repose has giVen it a vast store
of energy which _now- demands exereise,.
,car it May be they thiak ;,the divisions in
the 114publicati party (the piirty into
which they expect to make their inroad)
afford them a favorable opportunity. It
is not pleasant to be obliged to differ from
friends With whom we hate labored a
• !-
good. many' years in the temperance cause,
and whont we believe are actuated' by
conscientious motive-but we trust - .hey ,
will read these lines in - the friendly spirit
OE
in which they aie written, and acconi
us the same honesty of purpose and free
(14m of action which they claim for them
"wives.
In a 'circular prepared and distributed,
two years ago, by the same men who now
lead the prohibition party in this county,
they . say : "The Democrats controlled
Maine when the law of , that State was
adopted, as they did the State of Ohio,
when the pro Vision against license was iu-.
sorted in its constitution. To the Demo
( - atic, , Whig, and American parties, 'are_
all ur present prohibitory statutes attlib
utab ," :According to our recollection,
the lot% as it now St:lll4# in Maine, is the
\ll
Work ( — e . priblican Legislature and
s
,Governor, . \
ndwocannot remember that
tlip De mocra oi , eVer inserted any provision
against license 'II the constitution of Ohio,
but granting for the sake of argument
their statement is tie, it proves by their
own showing s that th pr+ibitory laws in
Maine, and all the Sta s where they have
had any, were passed wi
,bout the did of
any prohibitory party, ariifore the pro
hibitory party had an existence. The iii-'
felMice is inevitable that a 11ollibitoi'3,-
- party is just as_ unnecessary now as it was
in the past, the, even the.Democr4ie par
ty, under the pressure of . i. strong p\7c
sentiment, will lass such laws.
If the Democratic party Was the father
of the Maine law, the Republican party
for twenty years has been its nursing
mother, and has giVen it a kind and care
ful bringing up. With the power to re-,
peal it 'at any time, it has improved,
maintained, and enforced it without the
assistance. of any prohibition party. We
find on the statute book laws prohib
iting profane . swearing, Sabbath-break
hog, horse racily., lotteries, _. tippling
houses, gambling houses, brothels and
sillier dens of iniquity.. Did it require a
prohibitory party to obtain the passage of
a.singie one of these laws? :Nor, at all.
They were enacted and have been main
tained becauso the moral ovntiment of a
large majority of the - Icople demanded itt
and jilst so soon as a - large majority of the
periple are convinced that a prohibitory
rtjuor law is necessary, larch a law will be
enacted andwill stand forever afte,rWard.
TIM difficulty with all our temperance
legislation has been that it was in advance
of the piffilic sentiment ill the State,
.it
did not have the majority of the people
tO back it up, and just so soon as the li
mao
interest s rallied its forces, the laws.
beige brushed as id e as easily. as cols.webs
io I , the sweeper's' broom. The local 01)-
lwas a fair law, anti shoal have been.
alto ed to stand in the forty-one counties
where 't, had been adoptc(l, but the ag
gregate 'cote showed that in BM whole
\
State therwas a majority of more than
thirty thous. nd against it, and this ma.:
e x
jority soon niaffir its influence felt in the
Legislature, wh s ich is, the . great, political
zhermometer to iiidicate. public opinion
The Republican party, in passing the
law, had knowingly incurred the hatred
of the liquor interest, it had.risked its po
iition as the dominant party to secure a
good law which temperance men had ask
ed tor, and it had a right to expect the
gratitude and snpport of all goad temper
ance men in return. By' reason of its
temperance action it lost its State ticket,
it lost the House of Repres s ehtativeS, and
would have lost the Senate had not a ma
jority Wits members held over:, What
did it' gain? •
In addition to the hatred e of the liquor
"interest, it gained the ill will of some of
the very temPeranco men whose prayers
it had granted, and who were so, unrea
sonable as to be angry at a Repu'dieari
Governor who could not conscientiously
"veto the will of a large . majority of the
people. In the address of • the committee
of the prohibition party in this county,
they say : -" The .man tv4 supports either
the Republicanvr Denis keno ie patty, votes
for the 'license iYstem," and again " we
could not conscientiously stireort a- party

W tin rtEss, The Local Option law, which

was beniticial 'in lessening' intemperance,

A SPARROW'S POWER OF REASON
ING.
A . curious store•, illustrative of the
intelligence and reasoning power,
and
,perhaps of ' the Characteristic
rascality also, of the little twittering
miscalled "English sparrows," now
so common in all dr Principal-towns
and cities, is - relatecl•.b}• a 'friend, tvlio

who resides in New Yor, had.erect;
eklast 'spring' in his back yard, a
large box for sparrows' nes4.• It was
divided into three rows, each contain
ing rout - compartments. These were
all speedily taken possession ot by a
dozen pairs of, sparrows, and the
bu;iness of 'making nests proceeded
amidst -the customary . chirruping
din of these . fussy and pugnacious
feathered colonists. Sitting idly at
the window one Sunday, watching
the birds, the gentleman saw one
cock spqrrow come flying co his place
witha ftne, „soft . white feather in his
mi. Thetiox was so placed that he
coubUsee into.thc aplrtmentS,.and he
saw - this bird fii . the 'feather into a
complete nest, and then fly aikray. . •
-NO sooner was .he, out; of sight
than a female sparrow from the .ail
joining apartment, who had evident
ly seen that proceeding, !ipped into
her neigliboe,s house and pulled . out
arid carried. off the coveted feather.
Becoming i n terested, the , observer
watched the, performance, .expecting
to See the little thielclarrylpr stolen

she,displayed an undeniable reason-
ing Process, and acted on a clear per

with the leather to a neighboring tree,
