Catcst News.

On the firat page may be found the full I particulars of the execution of Moses ami Ruber*. Kelly, near HaweawjUe, Ky., on Friday, October 28th. They were well known by many persons in this county, hating resided alternately in this and Rip* ley counties. • Tho whole family hate rather a bad name, and there can he no doubt of the guilt of the two who were executed. The guilty ones have been punished, and the law as well as the friends of the reordered men are now satisfied. we suppose.

A father is not responsible for (be business debts of an infant child—i, «•, a child under 21—nor is he ordinarily responsible for food, clothing, or oilier necessaries furnished the infant by third parlies. In the case mentioned, therefore, ihc father would not be liable to the son's creditors. The debts of the sun would be voidable obligations, which might be ratified after he became of age: in which case judgement could be recovered thereon against the eon by his creditors. There is much popular enor on the subject of a parents liability for the debts of his sons under age. A parent isiimler a natural obligation in furnish necessaries for bis infant children, and. if he has neglected that duty, any other person who supplies necessaries is deemed to hare conferred a benefit on the delinquent parent for which the law raises an implied promise, to pay on the part of the parent: but what is actually necessary will depend on the pre; cise.situation of the infant, and which the party giving the infant must be acquainted with at his peril. No man can tike upon himself to dictate what clothing a,child shall wear, at what time they shill be purchased, or of whom. On this subject Chancellor Kent holds the following language;

The citizens of Switzerland County are requested to meet at Ml. Sterling on the 26th inst., to hold a Temperance Convention. for the purpose ol more thorough organization throughout the county preparatory to the coming contest at the pulls. The great question of the day is a ••Prohibitory f.iquor Law.!’ Prepare for the conflict. The enemy we contend against is within our own borders; an insidious foe. and prepared for every base and cunning resort tu defeat the friends of law and order. It is time'the hosts of the Temperance army were marshalling for the contest.

We - gather the loltowiug from (he Cleveland Herald of Tuesday: Yesterday several officers from sbroad arrested S, D. Baxter, at Franklin Mills, on charge of making and dealing in counterfeit money. In his house were found some 913,000 of counterfeit bills on the State Bank of Ohio. Slate Bank of Indidiana, the UiudilU,' and other hanks. Che tens on the State Bank ol Ohio are excellent counterfeits.

The arrest of Baxter was managed shrewdly; The night before his arrest an officer wrapped up in a buffalo robe, lay upon the ground watching his house; and when nearly frozen, knocked at the' dour and asked admission, as the police were after him for counterfeiting . Baxter was absent, but his wife admitted the officer to the house, aud in the course of conversation made some important dcvelopements as to who could be trusted. Baxter is in jail at Ravenna. On the next d»y the Herald says:

The gallows, it appear?., were erected on an elevation, so that all might view (he liotriblo scene. The whole proceeding was digraccful in the extreme, and unfit to be enacted in a civilized community. If such tragedies must bo enacted, they should be enclosed from the public gaze, for such an exhibition can have no other than a bad tendency upon the mnrals of community wherever and whenever it i» performed. Thousands of persons weie there, all ea2«r to see, and thereby gratify their curiosity! All the rogues within reach or hearing were there; the depraved and vicious of .every grade ami shade were there; the ignorant were there; all eager to satisfy a perverted appetite, or a depraved anxiety for the horrible; many a youth had his heart hardened hv the execution on that day—all the animal passions of his nature were aroured, while all the finer feelings of his being were entirely lost sight of; and we do not hesitate to say, that, many a young man went In his home with his heart hardened—prepared to commit the darkest crimes imaginable. Why should he do otherwise, when, cruel ami inhuman exhibitions of this son are encouraged by law! We do not know whether they had a printed programme, or whether they had the "ordet of exercises'* written down; but everything passeil off in “perfect harmony”—even to the Scriptural argument of the prisoners. It js high time that the death penalty should be abolished. It originated in a dark age, and should be superceded by a Uw mure in accordance with the principles of Chrialiamty. Tho great object of punishment should be to reform and correct the offender. Because a man kills Itii brother, it does not follow as a necessity that he should be deprived of fits life in return. Far from it. This would not letter the ease any. 1( la returning - evil for evil; i; U retaiuiiuii. Wlien he thus : violates the law, it should be the aim of our institutions to reform him—in reclaim him back to a good citizen. Hence, our prisons should »ll be schools of discipline and reform. It has been established to a certainty, that where the death penalty has been abolished, murders are less fre-j qtteni than hefure, Just so Ions as our laws ate retaliating in their punishments, Just so long will violations of the law increase.

Lei meetings be called in every school hoqse in the county, and delegates appointed to attend the county meeting.— There is no lime to be lost. The long nights of the coming winter will afford opportunity for Temperance discussions in every school house. It needs but that the subject be kept before the people—their virtue and intelligence will prompt them to proper action. Success is attending the eflorts of Temperance men everywhere; and notwithstanding ail the drunken crew have beer, .-shouting over ihe result in Ohio, we have good authority fur saying that a majority of the members of the next Legislature are pledged to a -good and salutary Liquor Law," '

This is a great mistake. 1 have been a constant attendant upon the meetings of the G.

Almost every portion of the State was represented. Besides, a unity of feeling, and oneness of purpose characterized the entire body. The enactment of a prohibitory law by our next Legislature, was the great object, for.which every member seemed to act; and when the lime comes, I shall be greatly mistaken, if those candidates who are opposed to this, are not elected lu tint/ at home, for breakers arc ahead.

Houses and the few estates which the hurricane had sparled, were thus carried away by the water*. | This was a most trying snd desolate moment for all the families of the coloI ny. Without shelter, and dreading with reason the continuance of the inundation, some were obliged to construct rafts to provide for their safely, while others, endeavoring to get to a neighboring hill, found themselves constrained to traverse inundated low spots where the watet reached up to the waist. And there they were with the fruit of twenty years* labor and perseverance destroyed, annihilated jn less tb n an hour.

Filtiiv.— One ot the moat filthy anti disgusting practices in use" nowadays, is the foolish and offensive habit of using that vile weed, Tobacco. In whatever way it is used, we care not whether it is chewed, smoked, or snuffed, it must be regarded by all candid minds, not only as injurious and filthy,but as being offensive and disgustful to every delicate female or temperate man.

It i) high time that the pie«a was speaking out on this subject. Tobacco, excepting whiskey, is the greatest curse of the country. The excessive use of it benumbs the intellect, and makes (be con* somcr a drone. No young matt in the country, who has become addicted to the excessive use ol tobacco, by chewing and smoking it, will ever be a great man—no one will be a man of great ability or profound learning. Resides, it lends to intoxication. Wherever you £nd a man who drinka intoxicating liquor, yon will find that man a coniumer of Tobacco.

Temperance & Politicians

Rev. John Pierpont hit the nail upon the head, upon this subject, when he said; We aik at the hands of our civil legislature* t prohibitory law, which we can not get except at the' hands of political action. It it therefore .absurd to reject or renounce alt pretensions to mingle in polities. We mean to carry it to the polls, and to carry the polls in our favor. We do it upon the principle that it is a moral question, paramount in God's eye to questions of office holding, of .finance, of policy. We have up to this time been timed before policians. and the moment we have been touched by the caduceus of the politician, we Have said, "We didn’t roesn you.” We now say, *>We do mean you,” and will pot you down, it you don’t give us what we ask.
