These facte have greatly exasperated am l disgusted the people generally, and greatly discouraged the truest ami wisest friends of temperance everywhere. The character of the lecturers arid speakers sent out by the prohibition party has~Btsq~durd~ .a tery'detrimental effect upon the temperance cause. They usually travel in tho .guise of simple temperance lecturers, end being men of one idea, narrow minded a;id intolerant, without any. practical knowledge of politics or -politic- ! inns, they-seem to think it an evidence of superior wisdom and righteousness if they heapdudisciiminating abuse upon all other parties but their own, and denounce every professed temperance man who does not coincide with ther own views, and declare him to in league with hell and the saloon keepers. i If anyone doubt- the fact of the banes ul int?nonce of political pr - h vA tioni am upoii the Temperancerealise; let him consider the present dormant, discouraged condition of r.tb§ temperance seniiment in ab }•: < any community an3Tcompcxa it with what it was a few years ago.

Boy Badly Shot.

Charley Brown, the only sen of Geo. H. Brown, Jr., a well known citizen of Barkley tp., was standing upon a sill of his father’s wagon scales yesterday . morning, holding a double - barrel shot gun in his hands, with the butt of the gun resting upon the sill, and the barrel across his arm. In bending over a little to hand to his father a piece of writing, he let the gun slip, and the hammers struck the edge of the sill, and I both barrels were discharged. -The i desii was tQi-u from the inside of the left arm for a space of about three • inches, a short distance above the wrist, and the veins and terntoi e considerably injured. One shot entered the boy’s side, but come out again without piercing \ cry deeply. Several shot struck his head also, and wounded his scalp pretty badly.! Dr. Alter, of Rensselaer, was t called and dressed tlie wound, and removed the shot from the scalp; and found bov pretty seriously, bat not dangerously hurt. The gun was loaded with coarse shot for geese. The boy’s coat was j torn to pieces, and it the gun had pointed a half inch nearer his side, his been j blown to pieces. It was a very I close escape.. The boy’s age is | about 14 veais. r | -L_- r - ; Try our roosted cpfi’ees.
