This body of Presbyterian ministers
and ruling ciders convened at Bethel
church, in Dirrtnwn Valley, on lust
Thursday at H o’clock; arid was opened
wi tb a sermon by the retiring moderator,
Rev J. K, Jones, llev. I). F. Hmith
was elected moderator, and Rev. J. B.
Hillbouse temporary otork. The thirty
three churches which compose the proa
hytery were reprea nted by lon preachers
and 17 ruling elders.
On llie usual routine of business, the
subjects of education, sustentation, and
evangelistic work, seem to have awakened
the groatest interest. Previous to the
meeting grave apprehensions had been
entertained that sonic of (ho candidates
for the ministry would have to relinquish
tin ir studies (or the lack of means to
proseeute them, hut the committee on
education reported that sufficient funds
had been contributed to meet their
present necessities, and that the churches
could bo relied upon for the future. The
committee on sualentation presented a
most encouraging report, showing that
more than eight hundred dollars bad
been contributed during tho past six
months for tho purpose of aiding f eble
and vacant churches in securing the
regular ministrations of the gospel. The
report of the evangelist Was not only
entirely satisfactory, hut highly gratify
ing. It was deemed best, however, to
discontinue the evangelistic work forlthe
present, and to devote all the means
raised for homo missions to aiding feeble
and vacant churohos in retaining and
securing regular supplies.
A communication was received from
Walnut Grove church requesting pres
bytery to take Ruling Klder T. Hcott
Johnston under its care us a candidate
for the ministry, and to guide him in a
course of study. Mr. Jnhna'on wns
accordingly examined as to his pioty and
his motives in seeking to enter the min
istry. and, the examinations being sus
tained, he was directed tost tidy systematic
theology privately, under the guidance of
some minister, at fils own discretion.
Tho business session closed on Saturday
afternoon. From its beginning to the
hour of adjournment, harmony and
brotherly love prevailed, ft is needless
to sav that the members were hospitably
entertained and that (lie gospel was
preached.
The substantial enclosure of the ootnc
ti ry at Bethel cl)inch was not, only the
admiration, but it is hoped the inspira
tion also, of all who beheld it. If that
community can honor their departed
friends and kindred and themselves with
such u monument, why may not other
communities “go and do likewise?"

THE lIRPNKA tills MUST GO.
Some time ago tho Chrom'd* promul
gated the idea that the enuse of tem
perance reform might bo better advanced
by making more war on the dninkards.
While the temperance guns are aimed
exclusively at the whisky seller, it seems
to us that a great deal of ammunition is
wasted, and that more good could be
accomplished by directing the batteries
against the main body of the enemy, the
grand army of whisky drinkers-
Wo are glad to sec that some of our
contemporaries (notably the Nashvillo
Banner) are now advancing the same
idea, and we hope it rosy become general.
Drunkenucss must bo made disreputable;
that, is the view we tuke of it, and we
adviso tho temperance reformers to fight
it out on that line. Prohibition laws will
ho futile so long as it is no disgrace to cot
drunk, and what wo want is a radical
change in popular sentiment. The tem
perance orator and the temperance news
paper should he more outspoken and not
hesitate to denounce the drunkard- The
namby pamby style in which the tem
perance war is usually conducted ia cal
culated to bring the eau'C into contempt.
There is too much sentimental wailing
over the horrors o( drunkenness and un
called for abuse of the whisky seller, while
nobody is bold enough to say that the
man who gets drunk does more injury to
the world than a thief and ought to be
punished as a common criminal.
When the drunkard goes, whisky and
the whisky seller go with him. Buyers
and oonsiimers support sellers and man
ufacturers, and whether it be in a whole
sale groeeiy, a drug store, or a saloon,
whisky will be sold as long as there is a
demand for it. This demand can’t be
slopped by the legislative prohibition of
tho sale and manufacture of liquor. In
( rder to atop the whisky traffic we must
nbu'lch the whisky buyer, and that is by
no means a small undertaking. The man
who couios under that head is quite
numerous, if ho doesn’t constitute 99 per
cent of our population. Alter all it is
di unkenneSß arid not whisky that does the
Inn m, and the drunkard is the thing that
we want to get lid of. We can't di-pose
of him wiih total abstinence pledges.
Such things nny accomplish individual
reform in some instances and temporary
good in isolated localities. But the great
temperance reform that the whole naiinn
needs can como only from making drunk
enness disreputable.
Tho first step in that important direc
tion should he aimed at official drunken
ness. No man who debases him-clf-by
intoxication is fit to bold any nffico, and
the drunkards ought re be driven (join
all public places. When this is or com
pltshed oi her mops can follow. The
drunkard enn he deprived of the right to
vole, ond (hen his offense can be punished
as a cnuie. That i.< the way the evil can
bo rooted out, nod that is the plan we
lavor. The refotui must he gradual, and
it is the work of lire newspapers to mould
popular sentiment in that direction. —

waiting for them, the following items of
one which occurred in 1815, on Sum
bawa, at the other end ol Java, may be
interesting. The first explosion, April
sth, resembled a prolonged cannonade,
and instant preparations were made to
resist an attack. On the night of the
10th throe distiuet columns of flame rose
to a vast height from the top of the
Tomboro mountain, and there blended
in one. Soon th, whole body of the
mountain appeared tt be jn fire. Show
era of stones tell, varying from the size
of walnuts to that ol one's two fists. All
the next day. the darkness was so in
tense that ooe could nor see his hand be
fore his face- This was caused by show
ers of ashes, which fell threu feet thick.
Every house in the village of Sangar was
blown down by a whirlwind; nearer the
mountain this tore up trees by the roots,
and swept everything before it. Explo
sions continued till July 15th, and at the
end ot'Soptem!er the mountain was stili

“That's about the size of it,” Mr. W.
said, “and I thought 1 Would just stop
in and ask whether you had got a y
property yet ?” Then he laugh,ed gay
ly, as one wht hat made a pleasant joke.
At that moment there came a ring at the
telephone. Mr. P. jumped up and re
sponded with the u.-ual "Hello!"
“Who’s that?" came bock, "I— P,"
was the answer, Mr P. recognizing the
voice of his clerk, who had gone over the
river with the utta lime .t.
"We've hunted everywhere,” eamt
through the telephone, “and cat.’: find
the furniture.”
Mr. P. turned to Mr. W. aril said,
“What are you going to do about it? ’
“iu the fir t place," Mr W replied,
“I want to know whether you've got my
furniture? —ha, ha 1"
"Tell the Sheriff,” said Mr, P., with
lips to the telephone, "to take the furni
ture off the boat aud put it io a store
house-”
"Hold, there," Mr. W. exciaiut-d.
his tone of jubilant banter changed to
one of genuine alarm; "I don’t want the
furniture takei. ofl the boat ’
‘ Well, what stall we do?’ Mr. P.
said; “you hear my orders?’’
The telephone bell tang violently Mr.
P. put his ear to the lut.nel and heard
the-e wot da delivered with great distinct
ness and emphasis: “I tell-you we have
not-pot-the-lnrtitturr— we-ran’t-find it..’’
“1 don't care it t!;i Shot iff'- ti e arc
$50.” Mr. P. shouted to return throiisi:
the instrument; "tin defendant has to
foot the bill. Bi.ro tb furniture at
once. ’ ’ •
“L.ol here. Mr. P " the defendant
said, in a tone ol su| -plication; "what's
the best I can do ?’'
The hell again foriously. Mr. P. put
his ear to the tube, and the s| raker at
the other f nd said in tones which Mr. P.
recognised as those of a cl< rk in tho
Sheriff's i tfice: "Blank, blank you, what
00 you mean? Are you Cruz ? Don't
you hear ? We haven't pot the blank,
blank furniture, and we don t knew
where it is. '
“Just re." replied Mr. P "Do the
best you can. and damage it a- little a
possible. The defendant will have to
stand the expenses. "
“Now, don’t bo severe," Me. W. -aid,
almost in despair; “tell me what you
demand."
“Pay the full amount due," replied
Mr. P-, and we'll throw off the co-ts anJ
expenses.”
The hell air in rang with louder tones
than before. Mr. P. listened. Th.
v.iioe that last answered said. “I’ll he
blanked if I ever came across such
stupidity. Hold on and I’ll spell it ou’
to you. ”
And then carefully, letter by Ipfter. thi
voice spelled out: “We haven't teen
able to find the furniture.”
The defendant by this time had got out
his pocket-book and as- counting out the
bills. When he had paid the IPX) Mr.
P. went to the telephone and called up
the sheriff's office cnee more.
‘ Now, then, stupid, what’s the mat
ter?” was the reply.
“Give the sheriff directions to 'et the
furniture go,’’ Mr. P. said.
Then he sat down and wr tea receipt.
The bell went off again like mad. Mr. P.
coolly placed his month to the telephone
and said: “Say. tell the ,-ht iiff to let the
furniture go and to sond on his hill for h : s
fees.”
Then Mr. P, with a smile on his face,
listened fora reply. “Blank, blank you,
you thickheaded a.s,” came over th.
wires into Mr. I’s ear, “we hiven't got
tiie property."
Then Mr. W. quitted the office. Mr.
P. rang up the sheriff, and received a
highly complimentary rep'v. Then it
was Mr. P's turn. “While you were
bellowing over the wires," he said, “the
defendant was by my side, and 1 had to
make the proper answers to tiring him to
t-rtis. Anything stupid or like ana-sin
that? Send ever y> ur bill, the suit is
settled. " —Brooklyn E>if/!e-
