Met&mora Items. According lo previous notice, the Rev. M II Muilin was on hand in due time to deliver one of the best lectures it has been our pleasure lo listen to The Good Templars of th;s place met at Odd Fellows' Hall, and forming in procesio! marched to the M. K. Church. After the lecture was ended, an invitation whs jftven to all the friends of Temperance who wished to do so, to go to our Hall and meet with onr Lodge in open session. Ariiving there with quite a number who were tnt members we were r ji!d :th an excellent speech from the Rev. Mr. Pye of Laurel, who we believe is an earnest wotker in the great Temperance reform movemtnt. I thou'd have mentioned that the Lodge was opened in form by ihe W. C. T., omitting the prtva'e work, and then such business was attended to as could be done without exposing the private work of the Order. At the clo-e a committee was appointed lo solicit propositions for membership, resulting in live persons coming out on Ihe side of Temperance. God grant that the good cause may move on until more glorious results are achieved. - Rev. Mr. Muilin began a meeting at the M. K. Church on the 26th nil, continuing Gve days, and resulting in five accessions. He was assisted by the Rev. Mr. Hester during the Erst two days, it being Quarterly Meeting. Mr. Amos Martir.dale has recently purchased the Metamora House of Mr. Thos. Tague, and will t ft k ioaaetin of the sanio on licit Monday, Mr. Howen returning to his farm. This is a happy change, and we expect that Metamora will soon have a hotel that vrill hold out inducements for Custom. Mr. Msrtindale, we are confident, is the man to raise the credit of the Metamora House, as he is well known to be a Olever and accommodating gentleman. It is thought that, he will also keep a Livery S able, which we think will be a tery good I thing, as we have no such accommodations at present. Mr. Wm. Alley having purchased the portable saa-mi'.l of Mr. J. P. Alley, formerly located on Duck Creek, has removed the same to Pipe Creek, locating it near the residence cf Mr. Samuel Lewis. Mr. J. P. Alley and Mr. Wm. Blacklidge intend locating a new portable saw-mill on Grose's lirauch, about a mile and a quarter from town. Success to all such enterprise. Mr. Hugh McCulIum, living on the "Colter Farm" about n mile southeast of town, bas removed to Mr. John Beggs' farm north of Laurel. Milt. Matonlo Mutual Benefit Society.

Republican Platform.' ' The Union Republican party of Indiana, assembled in convention at Indianapolis, on the 12d diy of Febrairy, 197S, make the following declaration of principles: We congratulate tite country on 'the restoration of lit, order, and the late rebellious States under the reconstruction measures adopted by the Genera I Oeverament, aad upoa the ratara of peace and th return of fraternal feeling among the people of all of the States, under a Constitution granting aft equality of political and civil rights

to an cut tens, witnout aisttnotton or rasa or j color. That w reverence the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land, a wise embodiment of the principles of free govern ment, and, following its teachings, we will adopt. from time to time, each amendments as are aeeessary more completely to establish justiee, the in surance of domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity; and that we rejoice at the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which ever secures an equality of political rights to all men, and we extend to the colored man a helping hand, to enable him, ia the tace of life, to improve and elevate his souditiea. That the national debt, created in the defense and preservation of the Union, however great the burden, must be cheer full v borne until honorable and honestly extinguished in acoordanco with the letter and spitit or the several laws authorising the debt, and that all attempts at repudiation meet the scorn and denunciation of an honest and itriotic people. That we demand in ever department of the Government, from the highest to the lowest, the strictest econnny in all expenditures consistent' with the requirements of the public service, the reduction and abolishment of all extravagant fees and salaries, the closing of all useless offices aad the dissmissat of their incumbents; and all effjrta to those ends in Congress, or elsewhere, have our unqualified approval. That a reduction of taxation is demanded, both of the tariff and internal taxes, until it reaches the lowest amount consistent with the necessities of the Uovernmeat, and that we are ia favor of a tariff for revenue, believing that a proper adjustment of the duties must necessarily afford all the incideatal protection to which any interest it en titled. That wa are in favor of a currency founded on th natioaal credit, as abundant as the trade and eommerce of the country demand, aad that we disapprove of all laws in reference thereto which establish a monopoly or inequality therein. 1 hat we i.re opposed to the tonatious of the public ln Is or the jrrant of subsidies in money to railroads and other corporations, and that we demand the reservation of the public domain fur the uae of actual settlors and educational pur poses. That we reaffirm that of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war here, none aie entitled to more especial h juor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, aa J imperilled their lives in the service of their oountrj, and the bounties and pensions provided by law for those b.ave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten, and should be borne without cost to tho recipient. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the nation, a sacred legacy, bequeathed to the nation's care. That we approve the general course of our Senators and Republican Heprescntatives in Con-Itres.-, and express eur full and entire conGdcnce that tbey will act with wisdom and integrity in all that concerns the welfare of the people, nod that we tender thanks to Senator Morton for his exertions in so shaping the legislation of Oungresa on the reconstruction of the late rebellious States as to secure the passage of the 15th Amendment. That we indrse the administration of General tirant as President of tho Tnitcd States, accept the increased cullrctins f revenue, the reductions of expenditures, and tho payment of a lr0 portion of the public debt, as a tutfill.nent of his promises of economy, and rejoice that tho victorious Geteral of the Union armies should, as civ il officer, receive the last of the rebel States in its rciurn to the national family. Inacinurh as all republican governments de pend lor their stabilitv and perpetuity on tne in telliirenoe and virtue of the rem lo. it is She riirht an.l dutv of the Mate nJ national authorities to i establish, foster and secure tho highest moral and j intellectual development of the people. Ti..i ... r., ....... i .. i Iiini i.iniivu ivi vulihj aim nui.i ivi. ii w . i poses has become so great its to lo epprcs.-iva to the people, nnd thst our system of countv admin istri lion needs reformation. We demand of ur Representatives in the legislature such change in the statutes of the iHaie as will protect the people from extravagatit t'sjt levies by locl authorities, and as an aid to this nee. let relortu we favor a reduction of fees for county oilicers to a standard which witlfurnUh a fair and rcasonab'c com pensation for the services rendered, and that no ; o (licet s should be fjvored with salary, fees or j perquisites beyond such fair and reasonable com - pens:tion. j That the canal stocks issued under the legis'a- i tion of lSltiand ISI7, commonly called the But-I Icr bill, were, by tho terms of the contrart, ! l .... - ....... . u !.. V t- P.; ' Canal, its revenues and l.tnds; and the faith or! the .ttte never having been direetlv or indirectlv 1 pledged for the payment cr reWption then of .aid canal stocks, tlie.efore they constitute no part j of the onstandii.g debts or liabilities of the State: that tho Constitution of this 8t.ite ought to be amende 1 at the earliest practicable period, so as to rohibit the taking cfl'ect of any law or acts of the tenersl A ssembly professing to recognise or ere ite any liabiJity of the State for the said canal stock or any part thereof, until such proposition shall have been submitted to a direct vote of the people of the ?tte and approved by them. That wc heartily iudore the administration of our State affairs by Jov.

Ths Brida's Farewell. My childhood's h n", thou'rt dear to me, And often will I think of thoc: Many are the pleasures I have seen On the sunny hills and meadows green. Uiivn tiv th Atirin f to roa.n. And I've gathered Bowers at my dearcld home; Hut no more, d r home, withth-el 11 dwell; The time is nearing to bid farewell. I leave my mother: she is dear to me; Net very long since I sat on her kaee; Sho has watched me play and run end walk; She has watched my lips when I would talk. And wondered if in a future day ' I fr mi her shonl i be taken away. With a friend untried I go to dwell, And I must, dear ma, biJ thee farewell. I leave ray father; I love him, too: For e'er to me I found him true; He loved to c.tre-s and play with me; He watched my fnn and childish glee; He thought mo next to aa angel of light, And dreamed of me when asleep at night, Wondering if the child he loved so well Would e'er in future bid him farewell. Now, dear father, I'm going away; Now, dear mother, baa come tho day When I shall leave you, but with tears. When I think ho you loved me in past years. You love mo yet; tocre's another, too, W h says to me his love is true; Your love has beea tried, and his will tell; And now dear parents, fare ye well.

As she thought of this, her tears were dried: t-he bid parents farewell, and was a happy hride. Blooming Urove, Ind. J. W. C. TTritten for tho Indiana American. Death of a Hypocrite. BY W. W. MAGIIRS. Somehow the word went down to Ilell That a Hypocrite was dying; In shorter time than it takes to tell. The Devil came a flying! A few were gathered round tho bed. Bat there was nobody weeping; The doctor shook his patient's head, To see if he was sleeping. "He's acting the possum," the Devil said, "And thinking ti deceive me; One more dose, l ctor, while I hold his head, And then he'll be mine, believe me!" "Hold on!" ho criel, "hn Is o!T; fit die; And in my last hour I wish ta be eivilj v For I knew it's useless for me to try Te escape fro-n bjth Doctor aad DeviU" Death struck him then and endod his speech In convulsive sobs aad sighing, And the Devil laugVd a fiendish screech While the Hypocrite was dying! . "Farewell, good doctor," he said with a smile; "t) oaand slay them ia lotion. And I'll settle with vor , after a whilo, . At my oftice in the sulphury regions!" MeUmcra, March oth, 1ST0.

This dates bask to my young days, when the old liritisk Bull was wont to push with his horn. On Tro idence coast, but new the Plate of Maine, ! Where big whales sport and the wild moots was slam, Where oceans roar cn which great sh'.p are tossed, There I was born, there I first saw the frost. Up Maine's high bills I've had my pieman t roves, Aod tracked the deer in the dense cedar groves; Up by the neck the rabbit I have strung. And in the deep the hook aod line I ve Bung; Drew from the sea the haddock and the shad, Climbed the high waves, though 1 was but a lad; From the creased rock with ready sharpened spear I ve drawn the lobster without expressing foar. I've seen great sights bv sua or on the laud; I've seen a fleet each ship with ted coats manned; Under full sail they neared our little town; With their big guns tbey fairly shook the ground. Our stationed men, in number being small, Blew up the fort and scattered one and all; Then Briton's rage was fairly to the top; Vengeance is ours, nnd we will burn you up." But mercy bid Old Union stij his hand; Soon shouts of peace were echoed through the land We then went on our little farms to till Our men with pails to foe. I our sows with swill; Our urettv girls (lor Maine produces such.) Flew to their wheels, which helped us. very much; Our barns made l.irge, we filled tbcm te the top; The sills did crack with the abundant crop: Our cows grew fat; thev gave great pails of milk, Which made to buttc, dressed our jjirl. in silk; j Thuir sparkling ejes their cheeks with smiles ) uu-.rn. ... .. . . . . . . ......... ......... ..... . .... V . , But to the time when from my native State, I When fame's report caused tue lo emigrate. I bid adieu to hill, to meal ana plain; Then turned my back taw.tr is the State of Maine: And as I was receding from her shore, 1 turned raj eyes to ctteh a ,i-ht or.oo mote. Farwell, O'-ean, heave tlty foaming t! In thy bosom man- hayo found thir grave; I leave thy shores, my jmr'.cys now begun; I shaped my course toward the setting sun. My porters then a noble part did play; They hire their load in triumph on theirw.iy; My eyes soon met Ohio's fertile soil; Here father would that we should stop awhile. The reason was, his money was all spent; 1 u ncre(l i:nu m rent: ut now to "could raise a crop, .,r .n eat, or else the plow must slop, neighbor A our hoys are use t, work; A.BftT 'hMr Uh?r 1 ' ' Trk, r'4 tB St"a' V1 ..

Sponging' on the Printers. Wefiod the following in an esehango and erpy it, well knowing that it contains twioa uiore truth th.tn poetry: "The public corporations, societies and associations generally, have a tinny notion about printers Th-'y think we ou ht to print, puff and polish all for nothing that is, free gtatis; in other words, they seem astonished if we ask half price for an ordinary notice, car I of thanks, tribute of respect, a personal c-vnmunicM tion, or anythi ie; else that only interests a few persons, and not the erne rat reader. Tney think it costs n inoaey to advertise, puff, etc. And thus one or the otaer sponge. I hey forget that printers mK mikes tbeiu nine tenths of their immense fortunes. They foreot it takes money to pay eompositors, to buy ink, type and paper, ad lastly, ! they even forget to thaek you for worsting tor l"ietn for nothing by gratuitously puffing their business or serving the public. Did you ever hear anybody or any corporation thanking an editor for what he has done? Guess uot. We print for money to uiae a living. Persons will therefore govern themselves accordingly ' Died.

A $60,000 Defalcation in the City Treasury. Special DispRtcb to tho Cincinnati Gazette. Hamilton. O, March S. The local sen.-aiion here is tho uneariiiing of a defalcation to the extent of sixty or seventy thousand dollars in t ho Treasury of Butler county. Mr. John (J. Bindley, County Treasurer, ever si nco taking possession of his otBce, has been in the habit of depositing the funds of tbe county in the First National Rank, of this city, and receiving iutereet thereon in violation of the taw. Information having been lodged with the Auditor of State, Uodntao, that the affairs of the Treasury were being mansged rather looely, appointed Hon. Chas. Iteeraelin of your city, a Special Commissioner, and setit bim here to investigate matters, lla catne here ou Mondiy. and took possession of the Treasury. Mr. ltndley was sick at the time, bur yesterday he surrendered the keys of his safe, and npon opening the same it was found to be empty, and from the best data that can be obtained there arc at least S 60,000 of the people's money which can not be accounted for. A number of witnesses have been examined, but, while their evidence goes t , ', , . , ., , ( to show that tbe Treasurer had allowed I his funds to be used by the bank, there is nothing to demooatrste where the missing money has cone. Anion' those who have been examined by Mr. Reemelio, are John B. Cornell, Cashier of tbe First National Bank, A. C. Sand.4, President of the Second National Bauk, and Co). Geo. P. liili-

ott. Mr. Lindlej to. day sent in his resits nation for the unexpired term of the Treas-

urersbtp, and the estne was accepted. ' A successor wss Dot appointed, but such person will probably be named to-morrow. Mr. Jjindley sajs that if he bad not been tnterlered with he could have adjusted his affairs satisfactorily; but as it is, that the public shall not lose a dollar by hitn. He says that some time asro he pave his indi vidual check to Mr. Cornell, of the First National Bank, for 825,000, in order to extricate hitn from a personal difficulty, with the understanding that it was to be returned to htm the next day. Thi., he claims, was held against hitn, and that the bank now owes him this amount. The testimony thus far shows that when the -quarterly examinations of the County Ireasury were made, and funds wore out, the First National Bank would furnish the desired amount, have it counted and then returned to them. These transactions would seem to seriously implicate the First National Bank. The investigation will be continued, to-morrow, and some new de velopments are looked for.

The Great Desideratum of the Age. A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserring the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original olor and ihe gloss and rcshness of youth. Thiu hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But auch as remain can be saved usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and rigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Freo from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, tho Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the Lair, giving it a rioh glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
