REPORTS come from the southern part of Montgomery county and the northern part of Parke of a great demand for harvest hands. One hundred fine-looking young jnen in Crawfordsville are afforded a splendid opportunity to blister their hands and learn how much it costs other people to fvpport them.
TEMPERANCE.—We wish it were possible to say that the temperance meetings lately held in the city had been growing in interest as they have in numbers. But it cannot be said. The same conflicting elements which have always entered into movements of this kind are yet present. While the public lecturer charges the licensed whisky seller with murder and robbery, the same whisky seller listens with a complacency which only the license of law can secure. Ministers in the pulpit, doubting the propriety of holding a temperance meeting on Sunday,—is it to be inferred that there is no propriety in holding such a meeting at any time?—feebly and unwillingly announce it. Good Templars, good people and others hear of the meeting and come out in small numbers, to listen to speeches evincing undoubted earnestness and sincerity, a full knowledge of the consequences, moral, social and polit ical, of intemperance, but lacking the one element essential to success, the tone that will secure harmony and eo-opcration. The friends, real and pretended, of temperance have not been pulling together. Broad as is the field opened up by those who have conducted the movement here during the past two weeks, the whole question is not covered. The bottom is not reached. We hinted at a method, last week, by which the matter might be brought fairly home to the people. The object should not be to control the sale of liquors by direct legislative enactments. All history proves that legislation alone cannot suppress intemperance. Pernicious as is the use of intoxicating liquors, exhaustive as it is to the physical powers, deadening as it is to the moral sensibilities, and destructive as it is of happiness in the family and social circle, no legislative enactment can control it. To accomplish this will require a deeper cultivation of public sentiment than the most despondent friends of temperanec are in the habit of imagining. A few years ago, distillers, speculators and public reformers, all alike hopeful, combined in demanding a tax of two dollars per gallon on whisky. Of **1 jhe public reformer alone has been disapt*luted. The same disappointment has met him in every law intended to regulate the sale of whisky. In vain are curses heaped upon the dealer. The law which was intended to protect temperate citizens makes his occupation legitimate. Who is to blame if whisky is sold? "Who is responsible if it is swallowed down like water? The law has placed upon the State at large a responsibility which none but! the parent, the good citizen, is competent to bear. The one and, seemingly, only feasible remedy is a change in the law l»y which the responsibility may be placed where it properly belongs, upon the community to be affected. If, under such a law, the citizens of Crawfordsville vote to have liquors dealt out to their neighbors, brothers and sons, they must suffer the censequenccs of their own sin. If they SHV no to every application for license, tliey can enjoy the fruits of their own works. At worst, such a law, while cxercising no direct influence upon the sale of liquors as other laws have attempted, would bring to the aid of the temperance movement parental love, social pride and all the liner instincts and sensibilities of humanity, strengthened by a consciousness of individual responsibility. Thus, it is to be hoped, will commence an influence which will do much toward alleviating or controlling an appetite, the existence of which is the saddest feature of the temperance question.
RESOLUTIONS OK CONDOLENCE—The following resolutions respecting the death of Mrs. Harriet E. Ileaion were passed by the Martha Washington Social Temple, of Washington City, of which she was a member, and a copy transmitted by tlieSeeretary to Mr. F. 31. Heaton, who is now visiting friends in this city. They are also published in the Templar's Magazine for July:
WHEREAS: It has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst and receive to his Courts above, our esteemed Sister Past Templar HARRIET E. HEATON, therefore be it "Resolved.: That wc sincerely condole with our worthy Bro. F. M. Heaton in his bereavement, trusting that he will be strengthened by the knowledge of her virtues, and the promises given for those who seek a Savior's love, ana who by their good works are entitled to a home with the blest in our Father's kingdom. "Resolved: That as our beloved Sister was one of the pillars of our Temple of Honor, and has filled the highest position in the temple—we have therefore lost a valuable assistant and earnest worker in the cause of Temperance and Morality, and we will cherish her memory, endeavoring to emulate her example by our deeds and acts of charity to all, and so earn an equal share in the reward which she will receive. "Resolved: That a copy of these Resolutions be spread upon our Journal, and a copy of the- sp-me forwarded to our bereaved Brother and his family, and that the same be published in the Templar's Magazine and other temperance journals also that the Charter of our Temple be draped in mourning for the period of thirty days.'
CORRECTION.—In your paper of Thursday last I see a communication from Brown township, signed F. S. Miller, in which is the following sentence: "Rev. Mr. Waymi *e, who was lately expelled from the order of United Brethren," &c. I think the writer has done the Rev. Mr. Waymire a great injustice by saying what he did and not stating the cause of his (Waymire's) expulsion. There was no charge of corrupt or immoral conduct. Mr. Waymire had as pure amoral character as any- member of his church, and the only charge brought against him was that he had joined the order of Free and Accepted Masons, and for this alone he was expelled.

CRAWFORDSYILLE JOURNAL: JULY 1, 1869.
REMARKABLE PRODUCTION OK THIS PEN.--'We were shown the other day a most wonderful specimen of what may be done with the pen in the hands of an accomplished artist. It is an equestrian portrait of Gen. Grant, representing him at the head of his army, giving an order at the commencement of battle, with his gallant, steed in check for the moment by the rein and by the bursting ol a shell near by. The artist has imparted an unusual degree of life and animation to his production, while the shadings are of the finest order, the whole resembling and quite equaling the finest class ol' steel engravings. When the admirer remembers that every line of this beautiful picture was made by a pen his wonder will be without bounds. It is from the pen of Prof. I). S. Dow, a disciple of Spencer, who is now engaged in giving instructions in penmanship every afternoon and evening in our public school building
WRITING SCHOOL.—We take it upon ourselves to say to our friends that Prof. D. S. Dow, formerly of the Wheeling National Business College, is in town, and opens a writing class in the Public School Building this (Thursday) afternoon and evening. During the present week the Professor has had his work on exhibition, and from all directions arc hvard remarks of wonder that the pen can be thus handled. We need not speak further of his superior execution lor it needs no praise from us enough to say it is without doubt the finest that has been exhibited in our city. Writing in public schools does not rqpeivc the attention it demands, and the only way provided for the acquirement of an easy, graceful and rapid handwriting is to attend schools for that purpose. Wc have had no classes here for two years past, and if our young people consult their best interests the class will be well attended.
A CASK in which Joseph lnsley was plaintiff and Epliraim Wheeler, colored, defendant, was tried Jbefore Esquire Wright last week. The suit was lor §50 damages claimed to have been done by the defendant to the horses and carriage of the plaintill" in an excursion to Thorntown. The case, which was decided for the defendant, was remarkable from the fact that nine members of the Jury were Democrats, and the witnesses for the plaintiff were all whites, and those of the defendant all colored.
THK farmers of Montgomery county have bought, at this city, during the season, agricultural machinery, such as reapers, mowers, and rakes, to the value of $40,000* Of this amount, perhaps 15 per cent., or $0,000, remains in the county the balance goes to other counties and States where the implements are manufactured. If we had tl.c shops necessary to produce them in the county, our citizens would be able to save fur home u»c about £34,000 annually on reapers and mowers alone.
TRADE tu agricultural implements, reapers and mowers, was never before so heavy in this county as it lias been during the present season. The condition of corn crops, not yet so well worked as usual, the heavy crops of wheat and the large area of clover fields, together with the scarcity of willing, old-fashioned laborers and a desire to economize time have caused the number of machines employed on farms to almost double.
ACCIDENT.—Last Tuesday evening. Hairy Baldwin, ol'the Richardson House, had a hole shot in his leg by the accidental discharge of a pistol which he was carrying in his pocket. The ball passed through the upper portion of the left thigh, above the femur, inflicting an ugly, though not serious wound. It is difficult to imagine what use a person in a hotel dining room could have for a pistol in his pocket.
SERENADE.—Wc were again wakened from sweet dreams the other night by the nocturnal strains of the Cremona String Band. The sound came "Still so gently o'er us stealing," that we knew not whether it was us or somebody else. We finally concluded that it was. Thanks, young men. We appreciate your call, and your music. Come again.
CROWDED OUT.—We had quite uninteresting communication from one who was at Bainbridge and was an eye-witness of the "big time" the Masons had there on St. John's day, but which from want of space is crowded out. So much as we regret this it could not be avoided. "Ranger's" letter from Waynctown was laid aside for similar reasons.
PRICES AT PETERSON'S SALE.—From Mr. W. P. Ramcy wo learn the following concerning prices at the Peterson sale in Su gar Creek township: Milk cows brought $50 to $60 sbeep, $2 50 to S3 hogs, 8c to 10c. Young cattle sold readily at good prices. Fifty acres of standing wheat brought $10 to $12 per acre.
PERSONAL.—We were favored with calls on Tuesday from a raft of Doctors—Berryman and the two Kirks—from the upper Sugar Creek country. We didn't feel any poorer after they left. Don't carehow often they call.
