Cents : In renly to vour letter I will say that my experience with Kendall's Spavin Cure has been very satisfac tory indeed. Three or four years ago I procur ed a bottle of your agent, and with it cured a horse of lameness caused by a spavin. Last season my horse became very lame, and I turn ed him out for a few weeks when he became better ; but when I put him on the road he got worse, when I discovered that a ring-bone was forming. I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so tlrnt he is not lame, neither can the bunch be found. Respectfully Yours, F. N. Granokk.

TEMPERANCE WORK ONWARD Monday night, July 19th, the mass meeting, under the auspices of the Red Ribbon Club, was addressed by the editor of the Herald. The audi ence was a large and appreciative one. The lecture was plain, practical and pointed, free from balderdash or attempt at oratory, yet delivered in a forci ble and pleasing manner, and we gladly the editor protest. On the whole, the closing up with a grand good collection for the Library fund. EXTRACTS FROM J. A. MACMURPnY'S LECTURE "PREVENTION OF INTEMPERANCE.' Published by Request. LAW. "Would you do away with law entirely then -asks some one?" By no means, a good law, at the proper time, properly enforced may be a great cure for intemperance; but I am not now speaking of a cure but the preventation of Intemperance before it comes to the stage when panaceas are necessary. You would not expect me in one short Lecture to exhaust a subject that has occupied the minds and thoughts of men and women for years and upon which tomes have been written. I am not now discussing the benefits or de merits of a Prohibitory Law. That comes in at a later stage as either a cure or a punishment; for even if law be looked upon as a preventative, it comes too late in most cases to act with any degree of certainty and effect. We need the preven tion, the education of the young 1.0 lead up to the enactment and enfore meut of the law. SCHOOLS The education of the Common schools should do much to prevent the spread of Intemperance, and it seems to me, might in this way. Of late years there has been too much namby-pambyism about the Gov ernment of scholars in public schools by teachers. If a teacher whips in the least, an ill-mannereJ, unruly and wilful child, a great hou-doo is created about it. The parent or the guardian talks about the law, in big italics, and threatens what he will do next time if any teach er touches his child. If teachers now, as they used to should interfere with the manners or morals f their scholars out of school .hours, he or she would have to be strong in their position or "the Board" would be obliged to oust them. This sentiment has been growing I am sorry to say. It should be cor rected by wholesome public criticism. There is not a man over 40 in this house probably, that was not flogged unmercifully sometimes by his teacher and even the big girls had to tafce it, occasionally. Will one of them say here for it mentally, physically or morally? Manv of the older members of society will remember their father savincr: 'Go to school, my Boy and mind the teacher. If you cut up and he whips you don't come home to me to growl, iov I'll giye you another." How seldom is that said now, on the contrary I have heard parents send children to school with the injunction, that if the "Teacher licked 'em just let me know and I'll lick him." "Would you return to Barbarism, ging school of the past? I bear some By no means. .Let me ue a little Sir-ee. But I would return to that time authority over the child in the school and out, and the means of enforcing positive and exact obedience, by some rule or punishment to be decided only by the proper authority and backed up by parent and Board engaging teach ers, alike, and a little wholesome corporal punishment is the best aid to the memory m preventing obstreperousness Divest yourselves of all prejudice, States for every recorded case of excessive cruelty to children by teachers, and see how really few there are. Turn many punishments you ever got that you However it is not to encourage punishment of any kind that I have thus written, but t& establish authority, which is fast waning Under your present system the teacher is justiGed if ho gets along as easily as possible in regard to the morals and manners of pupils, and only crams them with a half education. Satisfying the captious and sometimes ignorant parents with a wonderful parrot memory at exhibition times and examinations. What has this to do with Temperance? Just this: If we are to educate our young people to habits of moderation and control, it must be done at all times those having charge of them for nearly teacher. . Parents may do much at home, but the teacher's influence at school. But greater than this many parents them, to educate them. We pick up in our common schools parents that have no control of themselves, their appetites er their tempers, or of their children. These mix and mingle with all other children, and con. taminate the growing community. Why do we have expensive .Normal them? To educate teachers in the best methods of teaching -what? Beadiner, writing, and the olegies. Pretty much all, nowadays; for, as a rule, they dare not cerrect a child for anything done out of school, or apart We pay great monies to support our what? . The growing man or woman to become a better citizen, a better Chris tian; to control their passions; to in often do we pay for this, or get this kind The teacher ehould be taught to govern and obey, to impart wholesome morals and instructions by words, by To govern their own temper, and favor or malice. First qualify your teachers. Thus equipped, the scholars in their charge trol more or less from the time f leav;ng school oneer would often la beneficial. That to enquire into the conduct and habits authority to regulate and correct abuses for bad habits, bad morals, foul speech at all times, as well as during school hours, and to punish tor disobe dience of moral and cleanly rules as authoritatively as for mere neglect of classes or lack of scholarship. Because many parents cannot do trol over their children (nor over themselves, as stated), and it ruins the whole flock on no other basis have you childless, of the aged with no children much abused class old maids as taxes to educate your children with, un less you do make them better, safer, puier citizens so that they need less watching through life, are self-helpful, to the community rather than a burden, increasing police expenses, and fur nishing recruits for haunts of vice and crime. And in no way can the cause of Temperance be more surely advanced than by this early teaching of self control, real temperance and self-pride that scorns to be degraded or pauperized. Let us then call the schools to our not be so infernally afraid of a little religion or morality being taught in our public Institutions. "We dwell on this because we have little faith in curing old Drunkards by law or suasion, but great hope, by the right course of not making more SALOONS. From the School room to the Saloon is a vast step in mental and moral calesthenics and yet how short the jump often is in reality, for many a young man of naturally good habits and the promise of a bright future before him.

You can get plenty of Temperance men to talk to you of these evils, in fact there is no argument on the ether side, in favor of Saloons, as generally conducted and I never heard any sensible man make any. It is more in the light of political economy, which is my forte, if I have an', that I shall treat of saloons to-night, and from a historical point of view as bearing on this question. The Saloon, for the sale of intoxicating drinks exclusively, is of modern growth comparatively, and of foreign Importation entirely. Its name indi cates its origin, it is of French extraction and like many other fashions and habits introduced into this country from there might well be dispensed with. Where I was brought up in New Jersey, 80 years ago, there was not a Saloon in existence, 25 years ago, they were scarce, and yet it was a liquor drinking country, for "Apple Jack" was to the manor born. It was sold almost exclusively in and from the bar of the old fashioned COUNTRY TAVERN. Its use and abuse was greatly curtailed thereby because the old fash ioned Tavern-keeper was generally a man of property, and means, of good standing in the community, frequently owned a fine farm or ran a store in connection with. his tavern; and he would not sell to any body and every body. It was understood that the few samples he kept were for the use of travellers mostly-supposed to be tired with a long days ride, or not used to the water, or having the colic from sampling too many peach orchards or water-melon patches as they come abong. There was no tempting array of bottles on t he shelf and grainod walnut or mahogany counter. . The whisky was kept in a little corner cupboard, as a rule, with two common tumblers by the side of the bottle. The Landlord carried the keys to the cup-board there was no bartender and unly those whom he saw fit, and who could take a dram and "go of!" got anything out of our old fashion ed whisky-seller. In short, he did not have to sell Liquor for a business and to make bread and butter for his family as the Modern Saloon Keeper does and consequent ly was indifferent whether he sold much or little and never urged men to drink. He had other means of support and as it was mostly home made with no government license, to pay, and cheap, there was no inducement to tempt men to drink more than they want ed, or lay round much for treats. I do not say all were so, there were most of them never conducted the business, alone, depended entirely on it for support, and were licensed to sell In just so much as this was the case were the evils of excessive drinking felt and hated and gradually the business became disreputable. - One after another the old Landlords closed the "bar" forever Did it stop drinking? I wish I loon came into fashion, the place set distinct from any other business. The place to get drunk as a young and from that day to this a lower grade of men, a lower grade of liquor and a lower grade of Drinkers, as a rule, have appeared in and about the business. The abolishment of the bar from Landlord, made his wife and daughters members of good society, and turned the tavern into a Hotel do doubt; but it has cursed the world with a worse more persistant and harder to cure system of drinking than we ever had before. Just how we'll set about to do it mention in a casual way. that if we saloon business, License and all, it would be a great prevention to Intemper ance Perhaps the best, the greatest, the "deadest sure" thing of all That's your problem, however, good people; and and perhaps mine- after to-night. We have received from Scribner & Co. a copy of "Spiritual Songs for the Sunday School," selected and arranged by Rev. Chas. S. Robinson, and pub lished by Scribner & Co, 743 and 745 Broadway, New York. The publishers announce their ob ject in issuing this work to be to sup ply a convenient and attractive vol-. urn, which shall avoid tbe superficial ' and ephemeral in music, and a feeble, unhealthy sentiraentalism in words, so ; prevalent in the flood of books which ' have swept down upon Sunday School ranks of late years, and substitute in stead a selection, all of which shall be j good, and ranging from such grand 1 lyrics as "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty," arrangements of Mendels sohn, Handel, Rossini, and other class ical composers, down to tbe simpler tunes to suit less cultivated tastes. We commend the work to our read ers for examination, feeling that reli able publishers like Scribner & Co., ; will not offer the public anything which is not excellent of its kind. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

I don't know, but I would like to could abolish our saloons, and the whole Gambling: Abroad. Terrible stories are told of the gamb ling saloons which infest the Conti nent. At these resorts, fortunes, trust money, provision for children and wi dows, the sums acquired by the sale of commissions, sums raised on house and laud, have disappeared in a few days or hours. Often it is extrava gance of the companion that drives her victim back and back to the tables, deeper and deeper. But the women themselves are the most reckless gam blers. The common computation is a 6uicide a mouth, and there sometimes come three or four together. On the ramparts of the garden of Monaco there are several points from which ruined gamblers have thrown them selves into the sea, 300 feet. Some suicides occur at the gambling table itself. For the reception of such scan dals there is provided a room, handy for the railway which passes almost directly under the Casino. Some in quests "there must be, and it- is per formed by the servants of the estab lishment. But most of the victims go away and hide themselves and die like a sick dog in some corner, where they hasten death or let a broken heart take its course. It is impossible even to conjecture the total amount of the an nual ruin ; nor is that an important matter, for a loss of a few hundred is as utter ruin to some people as tens of thousands is to others. When a man cannot meet his creditors, or even his wife and children, it is all over with him, unless he is devoid of natural feeling and dead to shame. The mere excitement of a day's gambling has been known to kill people constitu tionally weak of heart or head, wheth er they have wou or lost. Ecstacy works the effect of despair in such cases. Of all passions, that of gamb ling is the most absorbing and dajigcr- ous.
