Mr. Conway has been widely and favorably known through the columns of the Cincinnati Cohiv.icreial by the familiar initials of "M. D. CV and his long residence in London fully qualities him to describe the many and peculiar phases of life in London. Virginia City Xcvada, was visited by a terrible lire the 2fith inst., by which almost the entire town was destroyed. Tho entire business portion of the city is in ashes, 10.000 people are homeless, and $2,000,000 have vanished in smoke. The entire business portion of the town of Austin, Miss., was burned Tuesday morning last. Total loss $50,000. A destructive fire broke out in Centrcville Tuesdav night, dama ging the town some $15,000. Aid ivas called from Richmond before the lire was brought under control. is doing so much for "God ami humanity,' the "Good Templars." Once for all be it understood by our readers, the Herald does not differ from its correspondent in regard to the enormity of the liquor traffic, that is not in question, but the diflerence lies in regard to the meaus to be cmployed in restraining the appetite for drink, building up a healthy sentiment in community on the question of temperance, and the suppression, locally, of the liquor trailvc. The opinion advanced and maintained by the Herald is; that thq community that declines to foster the Good Templar's organization ehows its wisdom. This opinion has b ibr ginned after years of very close observation as to the results prodifcidp by that and similar orders. At this writing not an exception is called to mind of many-Lodges in remembrance where in a short time the Lodge did not become extinct under circumstances that left the community in a much worse condition than before its organization. Zuingluous asks : "What is the object and labors of the Good Templars for? It is to put down the liquor traffic, &c., &c." Strange then that it should admit to its communion men who manufacture that ''undying worm knawing at the vitals and corrupting the life blood of the fairest and purest on earth ;"'and .honor them with a scat in their highest deliberative assemblies. In pi'oof that tins is a part of "glory of the order"' we respectfully- submit that such was the case no longer ago than last week, at the city of Indianapolis, where a wealthy whisky distiller took his seat as a representative to the Grand Lodge of Good Templars. We quote from published report of the Grand Lodge proceedings in Cincinnati Gazette of the 22nd: "Among the representatives to the Grand Lodge of Good Templars is William C Rate, of I'af riot, Switzerland county, who owns one of the largcst distilleries in the State "an old-fashioned blue-rnki milk" as a friend expressed it. It has a capacity for madiing 0.j1 bushels of corn per dav (equivalent to (,.) barrels of u-hiAvi .i.h! hn ;.". turning Til bushels of corn into ..... ,y . -...w.n, nirttj is 1 "blue-rum. In appearance, Rate resembles a pair of old-fashioned tongs, surmounted by a small head, Avith thin, cadaverous features. Re has 110 doubt his whisky is drank, the same as that made, by others' "Out ours is so good it don't make drunkards." To-day he received an order for a barrel of his best, "J'or home consul. r;' ion,'' and the old man's eye twinkled as he said it. Another peculiarity of this RaeV.-il ot is that he employs none but Good .templars 111 Ilia aatil it... t. r wouldn't hire au v other kind." i10 said ; "besides it pays, don't you sec ?' and the old man av inked again. This morning he Avas one of those avIio voted "greetings aud heart-felt sympathies to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and oled.l his earnest support in their endeavor to put down tiic CAils of intcmper-1

"Hut! you say Good Templars are not all true to their obligations, and will drink intoxicating liquors."' The IIeiiald challenges Zuingluous or any other man, to find any such assertion in the article referred to. When it makes such a statement it

will be time enough to reply to the' ...t ;,.u.!; tvia so earlv retired argument under that head.

The persons in Liberty w ho would bo of any benciit to a Good Templars Lodge and without whom it could not be successiu'dy carried on are all interested in some one. or several, ot these organ izations. There is not a night in the week but may be occupied in a praiseworthy manner by every citizen of our community, and to equal or greater advantage than can be de rived by connection with a Good ; templars Lodge, it Zuingluous yet thinks he knows more of the mind of Liberty than tho people themselves, the 11 Fit alii would inform him that the active temperance people of Liberty decided in public meeting in the Methodist chun-h on the night of October 11th 1N75, that they did not want a Good Templars Lodge. With, this the Herald rests the subject. Gur liicJu-toifd Letter. Covi csi oiKtei-.i-c I.i! ti tv IIeuald. Riciiiroxr, Ind., Oct. 25, 1S75. This delightful Indian summer weather is so suggestive of "drowsy in.lolence'' and 'drifting" with the tide, . unmindful of any thing but Cltort that one can go' to work -wuui A a will to accomplish anything that requires much exertion: and yet. from experience we know that wind and storm and changing sdcics, and sullen winter are approaching. Even this sweet time, is a prophesy of winter, and a prelude to the anthems of the storm king and tire terrible drama to be enacted, before we have again the bursting buds oi April, and the procession of the flowers ; the songs of birds, and the firc-lly's lamp, "When all the woiU fives promise Of something sweet tocumc." Rut this "welcome calm of heart and mind," this "Indian summer of the heart." which the young monarch, October, brings Avith his reign, is to be enjoyed and not Availed about. If "there arc no birds in last year's nest,"' there Avill be plenty of birds next year to build new nests, and plenty of hcav birds to till them. Those who most truly and deeply mourn the loved and lost, and are most faithful to "that love Avhcre death has set his seal" Avill be loth to tell the public, and the world at large, of their particular sentimental sufferings. 'Well, what I started out to say at lirst Avas, that under the surrounding circumstances, south wind, sunshine, haze and general restfulness of the season, I feel too lazy to Avrite a letter. That is a plain admission, not poetical, but it is the truth. "I can't tell a lie" (?) and my "little hatchet" did that. Or at least, my little pencil, Avhich I have sharpened and sharpened., until it is Avorn down to a mere rubber, yet still capable of doing mischief, and rcA'ealing some of the intents and purposes of the owner thereof. Rut don't think that 1 haAre no other pencil. The one spoken of, is one of a baker's dozen, of like short demensions, and besides I have a new "Centennial pencil," which Avas a gift, that has never been "hacked." There used to be a nice kind of a pent il-sharpcn- ' l,--e a l,rctty llttl bell-shaped Unstriunent with sharpened steel I blades inside, but tliev degenerated ! tv ,1 v..L.. o..,i , outolusc. ltisthe most unaccountabe thing, and a most lamentable thing, that some body of genius, does not invent a pcwil-sharpcncr, tin tbis age too Avhcii evcrvfhing. from a thrashing machine to a needle-threader lias a patent on it; even the pencils themselves, and yet the av oman. has not come to the front Avith a pcncil-shnrpcner. If p-.'oplc are lazy in these dayr, or to use a milder Avord and indeed, to express the idea better and more ' .b'ily, if they would rather enjoy a h'ttle leisure and rest, there is too much to be done, .which calls out the energies mentally and physically, to long enjoy self-indulgence.

Xoav I would suggest that Ave build such a road on the old State road leading from Liberty to Richmond, and I Avould fur ther suggest that avc make a road of; tAvo tracks, one of gravel, and one of dirt, Avhcre the ground admits one track only across nil the culverts and bridges. Let the land on the line of the road be taxed one half mile on either side, the balance to bo donated by Avhomesoever will. We hope the good people of Liberty and I'iehm Olid w ill aid its in the cnbsu is;. The road intersects tho Richmond piktt at the Wayne Co. line. All turnpike and gravel-roads bhonld be made free, and do away with those 'J to 7 directors, toll-gate.-, and tolldiouses, and most, oi'all tollgate keepers to steal vour monev if 1 bey 1 boose. I"ov let us eon-ddir the. e things and see which side Aveighs down the heavie-t. Let one good substantial man superintend the road itt a time and one tlt.it will t;d e m interest in keeping tin road in repair I would further suggest that a road can be made cheaper with two tracks than one and Avill last longer.
