April 43th:Harman's X Roads, 1 4th ; BrownV School- house, 15th; Riddicksville, 22d, Harris X Roads, 20th. . i . . . - .i On Wednesday March 22, peti tions were presented to the U. S. Senate by Messrs Wright, Loc:an, Dawes, Sargent, Cooper Sherman, Morrill of Maine, ' Dorsey, Christi ancy, Boutwell, Johnston of Vir ginia, Ingalls, Edmunds, Conkling, Hamlin anl55Viad6m, from the Good Templars and other temper ance organizations, in their several States, all praying for the passage of prohibitory liquor laws in , the District of Columbia and the Ter- ritorivs; also for the passage of a Uw prohibiting the use of liquors among tne oljcuUs of the. civil, military and naval service. The petitiops were referred to the dom- nittee on the District of Columbia. It was bur pleasure to meet in our city, during - the past week, J. N7 Stearns, Secretary -ot the Na tional Temperance s Society. : - He was renaming from a short trip for. health, and reported himself mich improved: Vi We trust ; he : may --r be spared yet many years to labor.for the cause.he so faithfully serves; j Beo.Ramsat left last Tuesday to attend fthe Mecklenburg - County Convention, on ? Wednesday, and thence to Louisiana, ,where he is "to spend the months of April. ; The hotel keeper at Lacona Os wego county, JN. Y., .has justpaid $400 tola widow Hurley, in Mans ville, Jefferson county to settle a civil damage suit wnich had been commenced against him, for the death of her husband, who became drunk at the said hotel, and fell on the railroad track, and was killed. This is a small price for a man, and a large one for a glass of whiskey. Probably the widow feels herself illy compensated; and doubtless the Clarks, who run the hotel, would prefer tn at the event should not become ian every day occurance. It is to , be hoped that prosecutions under the Civil Damage , act may be greatly encouraged ' . by this instance1 ot its success; for though the amount received in settlment was ridiculously .small, it showed that a j much larger sum might possibly! have been recovered, had the suit -gone on. The possibility of being called upon to nieet such unpleasant qontingenc'es j of one's business, would tend to make sellers cautious; and to 'deter men from enteriug into the business with a view tojeasy land sure profits. . 'MEETINGS IH MAY.' ' , r The deputies for the Third, the Seventh and the Eighth Districts will jhaje Conventions during the month ot May, at the following times and places: f ThirdfDistrict, at Rocky Mount; May 2d and 3d. - T Eighth ' District, at Lnmberton, May 4thl and 5th. Seventh District, at Clinton, May 9th and 10th, (probably.) ; The Grand Worthy Chief Tern- plar wilt attend these Conventions and desires to meet representatives Irora every Lodge in the Districts. . WOMAN'S WOEE. As we see and hear of temperance organizations of different kinds springing tip here and there so rapidly,-it brings joy 'to the heart, and,; gives rise to the hope of a a bright j and glorious tuture; and never since the resurrection morn would the sun have shone upon a brighter day than that would be on which we could ? say The liquor traffic is; banished from our land, i" Never was there such an ; oppor. tunity, says the Pittsburg Agitator, lor woman to do so much good as the temperance movement affords for there are so many ways in which to work. Let each one of us hum bly endeav or, by God's grace, f to do all that we can, according to our ability, and speedily have this en snaring temptation removed. Shall we be ashamed to speak in defence, or to work to alleviate the suffer ings of humanity ? " ' . Woman can do a noble work In the temperance field; and in many instances, work that none but she can do.4 How important, then, it is that her aid snould be secured. - ELECTI01T OF OFFICERS: :; In; a lew weeks the Lodges in the State will cl&ji their officers for the coming quarter, and we deem it not out of place to" make a few sugges tions. The success of each Lodge for, that quarter depends, in a great measure, we believe upon the selec tion of officers. -They must be such, as will command the greatest inflo-' ence in the t community, in which they move iiot those who are pop ular in the Lodge room alone. i I Look around you - in I the Lodge and see who have" been most faith fnl- in tee work in which you are engaged-who have most effective-? ly carried out the principles of the Order outside, s well as ihside the Lodge, and .who -are honored and respected for so doingand elect them. If this is r. done then the Lodge will accomplish much good towards reclaiming, the fallen for, good officers are, (he strength of an organization. ' . . r Upon the Worthey Chief Tem plar and Secretary princiyally de pends the successful transaction of the business of thee meetings. The former cannot do his duty unless he receives the fullrco-operatio'n and sympathy of the membership. T. The latter should be active and accurate in recording the minutes "x of the meeting, and above all else should be punctual at all the sessions, for without the Secretary V books, the Lodge cannot go through its busi ness properly. 'Alter you nave selected your of ficers and they have entered upon their duties, you should be ever ready to give them your counsel and support. ' , - THIETY REASONS. : :. The late Davidaul Brown, not guraent in favor qj prohibiting the mi man T in to t rw hi Ki4ii m sale of ardent, si in whieh he most completely set aside all "con stitutional" and financial objections, and gave the following thirty rea sons why intoxicating liquors as a becerage should be prohibited by law. We would like to see some apologist for liquor selling attempt to offset them with as cogent rea4 sons ?n the other side of the qnes tion. .Mr. Brown asks all to join in the practical enforcement of the doctrine that the sale of intoxicating drinks as ar-beverage should be prohibited by law, because: I i 1st.'
