ALTIMAT KAUFFMAN, „MIMI died" at
is residence, in this borough, on 'Silt- .
day morning lasi, aged about thirty-one
years.
To the readers of THE ilEner.n this
announcement will come as the news of
I A a personal bereavement. In January,
.1860, Mr..Rheem becamo•thZ) proprietor
and publisher of this journal, and, with
the'exception of two short • partnerships
in the business, remained in that capac
ity until September, 1869, when ho dis
- posed of his interest and retired. Thus,
for nearly ten years continuously, his
genie appeared on every issue of the pa ;
per, and his interests and opinions wore
those that Wore sustained and encour
aged by its readers. During his connec
tion with TIIE lIERAPD ho made many
friends, .and gave general satisfaction,
both to the political and the business in
terests with which it was identified.
After the election of General Grant to
the Presidency, Mr. Rheem was urged by
many of the best citizens of the county
for the position of Pout Master of this
borough, to Which he-wax appointed. In
his administration of this important office
he gave universal satisfaction, - and his
courtesy and attention to - his official du
ties were, from the first, the subject of
frequent and favorable comment.
In private life Mr. Rheem was re
garded, by all vsdio knew him, as an hon
orable and high-minded gentleman. In
all his dealings he was scrupulously hon
est. In his intercourse with all men he
was frank, truthful and sincere. Ile op
posed openly and fairly what his lodg
ment condemned, and supperted hear
tily-and-earnestly-what-he-belleved-to-be-
right. In all his actions he was bravo
and manly, and he neither tolerated nor
excused unfairness or hypocrisy. These
qualities secured for him the esteem and
friendship of those who knew him best,
and caused their regal for him to grow
as their know o ledge-ot him increased.
After life's fitful 'fever ho sleeps well.
THE LOCAI_ OPTION BILL
A nicasure is now pending in the
Legishlture of the Stato known as the
"Local Option" It , provides in
substance, that once in every three years
the voters in each of .the townships,
wards, and boroughs in the State, shall
determine by vote, whether or not there
shall be any hciuses licensed for the sale of
liquor. If a majority in any such civil di-
vision vote against the licensing of these
places, it shall not be lawful for the colarts
to grant any license, for the sale of liquor,
but it the majority be in favor of allow
ing drinking places, then they shall be
licensed under existing laws. In a word,
the people of each voting place will be
authorised to, dcteimine whether or not
• intoxicating liquor shall be sold as a
beyerige
, among them, if the bill now
pending passes.
1111,__temperance quesdion is by no
' means a new one, and fet it appears to
be, an extremely difficult one to solve.
That drinking•is the most dangerous ,_as
well as the most expensive vice of our
people is . known and admitted. it is
also almoht as patent, - that while the uie
of liquor in the home circle, has been
greatly_ diminished within the last score C f
years, lams increased in public with most
alarming rapidity. 'Years ago the drink
ing houses - of the country were those
which were licensed as house of enter
• tainment for travelers. Now these con
stitute' but an insignificant fraction of
the trade:- Saloons, licensed solely for
the sale of liquor, are more numerous,
than are the places of any specific neces
sary business. To those who have. any
apprebiation of the fearful evils, that
the consumption of liquor brings with it,
this is one of the most alarming features
of our times.
lint there is no necessity for dwelling
at length on this brarich of the Subject.
The question arises on the remedy, if
there be ono. Total prohibition by law
appears to be impossible, and by many
who are active workers in the temper
fince cause, it is regarded impracticable.
Indeed, with the restlessness of our peo
ple, and the Schemes of our small politi
cians it is difficult to give a fair.test to
any,]aw, and it would be especially so to
one which could array against it directly
the influence of those who are engaged
in the liquor traffic. For these, and
many other reasons, prohibition by posi_
tilde law seems too remote a possi
bility to engage attention ,for the
present.
There seems, therefore: but two courses
left, with regard to the question.of liquor
selling. We must either — lsOUnilt to
wholesale licensing of dram shops under
the present restrictions, or allow com
munities who are, enlightened enough to
see their true interests to vetefirOwn the
sale of liquor among tliteselves. In
such an issue, we can imagine but one
course. It is - fairly demonstrated that
this yank can -naver--be regulated by
statute. Men of known intemperate
habits, and boys of very tender years,
are ofte . simen in mfr.. streets, 'stupefied
with liquor, although the sale to such is
forbidden, under -heavy penalties. The
provisions of the law are about as perfect
as human wisdom can devise, and they
are administered in the'Main faithfully.
The difficulty is in the matter to which
they apply. As long as a trade depeildi
for its profits on the excesses of its pus
tomets,_so_long_will_tliose.engaged—in-it
stimluate those excesses by every
means Its their power, and no penalty
that the law can impose will restrain
them.
Thbn let the Legislature place within
the reach of every community the maul
to protect itself, whenever it is realized
that this traffic is injurious to it.' If no
evil results from licensing - drinking
houses, the mew lavi will certainly do
them no injury. If the people are op
posed to prohibition, end really believe
that'saloon-keeping is one of Jim legiti
mate and necessary bushiesseg of a com
munity, they will, certainly, not interfere
with it. But if they aro convinced, that
in spite of stringent laws, and careful and
upright law-officers, this -trade, tempts'
old sinners to renewed indulgences, and
leads unwary youths into the patlik that
lead to ruin and early death,- by all
meariegive thorn the right to say that it
must be abandoned. 'Lot the Legisla
ture pass the local optiOn'bill, and do it
immediately.. •

a safe article for Promiscuous and
general use, and the man who sells it, is
as criminal in so doing, as a man who
should, knowingly, introduce arsenic

beware of these fancy names. In nine
cases out of ten, they are adopted as h .

As to legislation upon this subject, it
is, perhaps, not our province to propose
measures to reach the root of the evil,,

THE lecture of Dr. Dimes, on Friday
evening last, was quite 'a success. The
audience was resit/ table in character
and numbers, and' the lecture itself ex
ceedingly interesting. The exp'eriments
with which the Professor illustrated his
remarks on "the air s we Meath°, " were
highly entertaining and satisfaction. To
show the intensity of the beat produced'
by a jet of dame composed Partly - of
oxygen and prittly of nitrogen, the
lecturer exposed to it a line sword blade,
which burned like timber, the particles
Of glowing Steel falling upon the stage in

A Chion PAPER.—The American
Lutheran, published at York, Penna., is
an ably edited sheet, working for the,
advaneement • of, and in the behalf of
Lutheranism. It is a nice sized paper,
printed in largo clear type, and judging
from - the - reading — mattor - itmontains, an
able champion in supporta the doctrines
and principles advocated by the Lutheran
church. We 'cheerfully recommend it to
all Lutherans, not only.io this commu
nity, but throughout the county. .
PhwEncous.--The Glen Rock Item—
late the News Item—came to hand last
week, considerably enlarged and pre
senting other visible marks of improve
ment. The Dm has been changed from
an octavo to a quarto, and the "make
up," presents a very neat and creditable
appearance. These improvements speak
well for the success of this 'newspaper
undertaking in Glen -Rock, as thiS
journal is yet in the first year of its
•
existence 7—
Cnann'AOLE.—Many of our citizens
will, no doubt, reniernber of having been
called upon by Officer Sanno.and Mr. A:
Sheafrer, esq., of this place; during
the present winter, and aid solicited in
behalf of the family or Mr. Leander
Comm . = in a destitute condition, resid
ing on East Louther street. The gentle
men succeeded in obtaining SG7, which
they immediately turned over to Ile fam
ily ifi question, and thus gave them re
lief in the "hour of need." They would
also take this method of returning the
thanks , of the family to those of oqr - citi -
zens who so generously contributed to
their most pressing wants.
ICE.—March is here now, and but n
_few , short months ..intervene billycan us .
and the hot weather of summer. One
of the - greatest necessities during the
summermonths is ice. We are glad to
know that enough has been laid np dur
ing the present winter to fully meet the
demand of. our town. For some years
the scarcity of this article has been so
great that many families had to deny
themselves the use of it, on account of
its price. But happily this has been
done away with.
Among the dealers in the article who
have secured large quantities, is Mr.
David Rhoads, who has in store for the
delectation of our citizens during the
heated season, about 300 tons of supe-,
rior ice, whielt will be delivered to any
part of the town, in large or small quan
tities to suit - purchasers. It is also the
nteation or Mr. Rhoads to have a large
ice box. at the store of Mi. Sites on. West
Pomfret street, near Pitt, for the con
venience of those who may need it at
odd times, thus saving them the trouble
of going to the ice house.
timith,v. —To-day is Em be rd ay,
and according to the Book of Common
Prayer of the Church of England, three
days are appointed four times in the
year, to ho observed as days of fasting
and abstinence ; these days. are the
Weduesgay, Friday and Saturday after
the first Sunday in Lent, after the feast
of Pentecost, after the fourteenth of
September, and after the thirteenth of
December. The term " emboring" has
been vsrrously derived from tlie creek,
and from the embers or ashes which, in
the earliest times, wore stro,y . ed over the
Load at Unica of fasting,'in token of hu
mility and self-condemnatiou. Mr, Som
nor says that Embering -days were
" times of old chosen and sot apart for
fasting prayer for Obteyniug_the
fruits of the earth, ansl•jo ivo thanks
for the same, whereas'at those times they
are either sowen, sprung up, coming in
in
. thelir:ripeness, or gathered into the
barne, as also to obtain the grace of the
holy Ghost, when holy orders are given
and ministers made." It is to this latter
pprpose that the Church of England, in
the present, day, particularly devotes the
Emberdays, and a special prayer ap
pointed for use at-those seasons.

TAKE WARNING, Boys.—While pass
ing along Main street one day fnetweek,
we noticed a lad, about ten years of ago,
narrowly escape a r serious accident. The
boy attempted to get on the rear end of
a passing vehicle, and ' while "so doing
one of his legs became entangled in the
wheOl, and had the driver not immedia
tely baltedlis team, at the_alarm given
by witnesses of the scene, young America
would, in all probability,. have been car
ried 'to his home with a fractured limb.
Boys take warning from this very narrow
escape, and do not persist in jumping on
passing vehicles, to the great risk of
your limbs and even your lives.

CEISTREvrm.E INSTITUTE.—On Thurs
day evening last we bad the pleasure of
meeting the teachers of Penn township,
irdnstitute assembled. Since :last De
cember the teachers of Centreville and
vicinity, and a number of educational
and enterprising citizens-1 , e been con
ducting an Institute ver. successfully,
eliciting considerable
_i Wrest in their.
7y
own community and edu ational persons,
generally. Having an opportunity on
said evening to call and see for'ourselves,
390 availed ourselves of it, and came
away highly gratified with what we saw
and heard. The weather being rather
unfavorable, the programme of the even-.
ing was not followed on account of the
absence of some lecturers and debaters,
yet the spirit manifested by those present
foreshadowed hopeful' and encouraging
result for the enterprise. District lush-.
tutee are the means of doing much good, i
and it is deeply regretted that they are
not more numerous in our county, that
education might receive 'the aid and
stimulus they generally infuse. The ex
ample of our friends in Penn deserves
emulation and is a revere rebuke to 1
other districts, more pretentious, who
hold no Institutes. It is the intention of
our Centreville friends to close their
meetings for the 'season, on the evening
of the thirtieth of March, with au enter
tainment. •We hem tily wish them suc
