Certafn.lv, we feel proud of these figures, but we have many reasons for Itelieving that this record will be beaten the coming year. The Lebanon canal will be cut this year and will add a number of enter prises to our town. In the common parlance of the day we would advise people to keep their eye on Lebanon.

It will doubt less prove a valuable auxiliary to bash ful j-oung men and modest ladies, and will reduce the blunders of the diffi dent to a minimum. Its originators do not claim that they have reduced love-making to a science; this cannot be done, for the simple reason that life itself is not a science; but they expect to simplify tho process sn that anyone with a little knowledge of the world and a tolerable address will tie intro duced by easy steps to the higher mys teries, which, like bugbears, frighten the timid and are fast peopling Amer ica with crablied old bachelors and an tiquated maidens. Certainly this is a favored generation. The ofllccrs of the organization are few in number and work from purely philanthropic motives. They are, first, a Grand Instructor, who sits as final arbiter on all questions of etiquette; second, a Casuist, to whom are sub mitted all those delicate cases of con science which afflict the young men of this generation; third; a Tyce (a classic word signifying a tier of knots), whose otliee it ia to set the official senl of the organization upon all contracts, which seal can only be broken by the fourth officer.

The society meets as a body once a week; the number of private meetings will vary according to the skill and tactics of individuals. Informal meet ings may lie held on the front gate, always, however, under pledge ot sc cresy. The workings of the society will be published weekly. Having briefly outlined the objects of the organiza tion, and through the courtesies of the officials obtained the exalted position of stenographer, we shall lay before our readers next week a report ol the first meeting. now IT WORKS. As we are just on the eve of an elec tion, the following from theWoodburn Independent may not be out of place: "After the council refused to grant license to sell liquor," says that paper, "the excitement ran high during the agit&tion of the saloon question, and many men predicted the ruination of the town if license was not granted. Every means to coerce people into sigmug the petition was used. The leader of the saloon element told Mr. Tooze his business would le boycotted, alltioiiK'i. reare glad to be able to sav that but fyw of the men in favor of license upheld the threat. One prom inent merchant even went so far as to reduce his stock to about fSOO worth, and olTered to sell his property below cost, because he telieved prohibition would ruin the town. However, li cense was not granted, and property holders anxiously awaited the result. Never before had a village on French Prairie dared - refuse a saloon a resting place. On the contrary, inducements had always been held out to them, the logic of which was founded on ihe erroneous idea that the saloon drew the customers while the store, like Lazarus of old, gathered the crumbs. It was left for Woodburn to show the utter fallacy of this and to prove that the saloon is the parasite, the mer chant the victim. Prohibition mav not be a success in other places, but in Woodburn it is." PERSONALITIES. Jcxoph Buh! went to Snlpm Tncritnr. Mis Mamie Gentry went to Allianv week.

In your disjointed criticism of our article you say that we have laws pro hibiting duelling, murder, theft, arson, gambling, counterfeiting. olygamy, and the circulation of lottery tickets. Now, Igo, why did not our law-makers go as far as the prohibitionists and prohibitit the manufacture and sale of firearms with wiich the duellist and murderer does his bloody work? Why don't they prohibit the manu facture of matches, so that no man cau commit arson? Why dou't thy stop the manufacture of playing cards to reform the gambler? Why don't they carry out the doctrine of tuohibl tiou and cut ofl the bauds of the thief, and cut out the tongue of the perjurer? Why don't they prohibit the minting of all coins and the making of green backs, so as to break the counterfeiter ut in business?
