J. Carraway,.-President of the State Council delivered a very able ajid tel ling speech on the occasion. Of the same demonstration The ( iold-.iboro Messenger says : THETem ." pera nee demonstration in this place hist .Thursday evening, was a grand ' success ami will doubtless result in .groat deal of good. A very intelligent a nd appreciate audience had assembled at tho Methodist Church to hear the isddresses and otherwise encourage .the ...workers in that good cause by their ue-ii;nce. 1 ho Jiev. iraul J. Carraway w::s fut introduced. His remarks were most eloquent and very inipres sive' and were listened to with marked attention by till' present, A more touching-and abovo all truthful . lec ture picturing the dark paths, ruined hopes and. awful degradations of the 01 uiikard -could hardly be delivered. Mr., Carraway -was followed by the Rev. R. iLWhitaker, editor of the l ru'iht of Temperance, who also dwelt upon the evils of intemperance with convincing .'eloquence and force. ' X Good Move. Several .Councils, both in Virginia and this State have subscribed for a number of copies of j tne Friend of Temperance for gratui- . tons circulation among the members' especially those v?ho are not able to spare the money to subscribe for it for themselves.. We think this is a move in the prop er direction, and it is to be hoped that . every Council will imitate the example. The politician says it is important that his party paper should be circula- .' tod, and lie is right. ,'f Fvery Friend of Temperance should fool that it is equally important that . his organ should be circulated an1 read.

Tiio American Traefc Sjciety needs no introduction to tho renters of this paper, j Amidst tiio strife of conten ding parties in tho Church, and. the bitter animosities that Lava sorunc un among the sect3 of America, this So ciety, composed of representatives of all evangolictd denominations, carefully avoiding partyisni, and rigidl,y adher ing to the broad principles and doc trines of the Bible upon which the whole christian world is united, has quietly pursued its mission of- chris tianizing the world both far and rear. Its missionary colporteurs have tra versed the broad land, penetrating into places where no Gospel sermons had ever been heard, and carrying the words of truth and the message of sal vation. Its tracts have gone as winged rmessengers from God over every dis trict of our own land, and far into the darkness of heathenism and the fast nesses of idolatry, filling the people that sit in darkness with great light, and bringing many trophies to the feet of Jesus. : This benevolent, christian, uusecti rian society, having seen with deep anxiety the increasing circulation and destructive effects of a certain cla.S3 of licentious, obscene - publications, have now commenced the publication of a weekly; illustrated religious paper, for the purpose of .contracting, as much as possible the evils of these loose je rio iicals, as well as to furnish a cheap family, religious paper to all denomi nations. The object commends itself to every lover of morality, and espe cially to every follower of Jesus. A noticeable feature of .this paper, i it. i. a i 1 '. -1 tiie one aooiij wnien we desire to speak in this article, is its hearty ad vocacy and fearless defence of the prin ciples oi Total Abstinence. L'jokin" : O upon "drunkenness as a sin agaiust God as well as a crime against hu manity, and seeing the numerous and fatal consequences of .selling, buying and using as a beverage alcohol drinks, it strikes frequent and heavy blows at the liquor thrflic hi all its modifications, and asserts the power of governments to control the traffic in their own borders. In every issue there i.s some thing on the subject of Tempera: ice, and some issues are largely devoted to that subject Here is an item eelipped from the issue of Feb. 10th, which speaks for itself t ' A-ii-jtt; ncciAto m ue a ueiernunauon Shi SciarSircIc w, i.

Sii3 has during tiw day four hiccoughing exercises, after which she Vomits from two to four tablespoousful of clotted blooil, ami at ten o'clock at night she has her won derful shaking exercise, at which time she seems to be under the influence of the most powerful galvanic battery, causing the house to tremble somewhat similar to a slight shock of an carthr quake. On every Wednesday she is exceedingly restless in her sleep. bne has been examined by hundreds of fine Physicians, but no one of them has ever been able to give any sensible reason of the cause that has produced this remarkable condition in her sys tem. She was once presented before the Medical Faculty of St. Louis, aitf because they could hot comprehendJie; case, they pronounced her a humbug, and even resorted to the cruel and bar barous experiment of thrusting brass pins in her flesh, (so I have been in formed,) 'and for fear of forfeiting their claim to wisdom, they simply made themselves ridiculous by asserting that she was a deception, to cover their complete ignorance of her case. ' Her widowed." mother is in very meagre circumstances. And is too well known for miles by neighbors and others, from all 6f whom she could get affidavits to the truth of the condition of her unfortunate daughter if it were necessary, nutwi&standing the verdict wa uw learned Medical Board of ou Louis to the oontfaty. She is without doubt the most renrkable human in existence, and is aerfect enigma. She talks quite intelligently, and has a won derful memory. She is rather hand some and has a beautiful suite of hair that grows very rapidly ; while the nails on her hands and feet do not grow at all. and have not, since she was first taken with her present disease. She is well developed in everv respect, except in the size of her hand", which is rather too small for an adult lady, but it is the most exquisitely formed hand I ever saw.
