Men of a sweet disposition, however, are made sweeter by liquor, and in that condition are as full of fun as a frollick ing kitten. They never quarrel with peo ple, and particularly with their wives, save when the wive* arc fractious or obstinate, and the very worst thing a man—be he either s-<ber or drunk—can do to a fractious wife is to beat her. Better by far, bastinado her with your tongue, be-thurnp her with words—quote Shafeecpeare at her—an un failing remedy, Quote Shakespeare at your fractions wife and nhe is bound to become as coy and gentle as a sucking dove.

B. Whitman, of Creek township, Venango county. Whitman gave the book to Siebert, and hence the charge. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Rev.

He then got the land lords of tbe different hotels to place one of the cards at each plate in their dining room, and as a consequence fortv-five of the drummers went to hear him preach. Straight Out from the Shoulder. Following the granting of licenses in New Castle last week, the Leader says Revs. Durilap and Calkins, of the First and Second Presbyterian Churchs, last Sabbath preached vigor ous and straightout sermons on the temperance question, defining most uncompromisingly the position, in their opinion, that Christiana should hold on the subject. Two of the Judges granting the licenses are members of Mr. Dunlap's church, one being an elder, and an elder and dea con of the same church were attor neys for tbe applicants, which makes the words of the pastor of more than passing interest In referring to tho license liquor saloon, Rev. Dunlap held that no half-way course should be taken in tbe matter of putting down the whole license system. He said : "Suppose tbe pastor cf one of our churches believes in a license law and unholds it; a prominent officer of the same church is a member of the same court, and grants a license to a man of good moral character who belongs to tbe same church. Why not? If it is right to license it is right to be licensed. If it is right to authorize a man to keep a saloon it is right to keep a saloon. Now what happens? Why that officer and pastor proceed to expel tbe saloon keep from the church, for they have no choice in the matter, the general assembly has so declared the rules and discipline. That is, they as Christians excom municate a man for doing what they as citizens authorize him to do." He further said: ' Thank God the liquor license lasts only for one year. If I knew that one of these men was to die during this year 1 would advise him to have his license among his choic est treasure?; have it laid in biscoflirj when dead; have it pressed in his cold, clammy fingers, HO that when called to confront his victims before his (iod it may be his plea of justifica tion, as he lays down at the bar of the Kternal Judge his precious license, duly signed by the judges of quarter sessions. Yes, he will surely need it, for if it be righteous hero it will be there, but if not? Oh, repent before it is too late."— Ex. —lt has been demonstrated in court that u man might be accused and convicted of numerous crimes and yet be a man whose character for truth and veracity could not be suc cessfully impeached, and it in demon strated in hundreds of kitchens in Hutler county every day that the Etna stoyes and ranges are the bast in the market.
