We have no difviitioo to express I an opinion ahead of that which will be gives by tbe courts, except to say jnst this: Let the man be forced to provide for bis wife while she fa sort. The law that allows him to marry under age cannot at tbe same time relieve him from the 7errxirability assumed by so doing. At least if this Is not law, it is common sense.

t4ewmlk vm. SMwhatka It is almost useless at this late day to say anything about cleaning sidewalks to realise any beneficial results this season from the say. Yet if our winter, as ft bids fair to do, is going to last all summer, it may save a few tender consciences from the remorse of having even thought an oath. We believe that tbe law amply provides for cleaning the walks, if the persons who have the matter in charge would see their work property and faithfully done. Officers might possibly be excused for not removing a nuisance which troubled only a few, bat when a nuisance prevails so widely as to effect the whole community, public sentiment as well as sanitary considerations demand its removal.

We have received the following communication on this subject from one who has special reason to complain, and we think the point well taken Have we a street superintendent! If so, what are his duties. Is it to order people who have swing-signs across the sidewalk to take them down forthwith accompanied with a threat of prosecution, though the offending object be suspended so high above ground that if Goliah were to walk erect under it with the latest style of stove pipe hat perched lightly on his head he would not reach within two feet of the trending article Or is it any part of his duty to see that sidewalks and crosswalks are kept clean and in order, especially in snowy weather during the winter season I b3heve there is a cit ordinance requiring sidewalks to be kept free from snow and ice during the season of snow and ice; and that it is the duty of the Street superintendent to see that it is done! Now I would ask has this been done in a single instance during this long and icy winter I venture to say that not a sidewalk has been cleaned for even one whole square this winter: and no one, so far as I know, has even been requested to do so by the superintendent or his deputies. I have heard a good deal of his ordering the removal of signs and show-cases that were not in the way of any one, but clean sidewalks were never thought ot "To church goers yesterday morning the walks were abominable and no doubt gave rise, even in the minds of the most devote and pious, to feelings that it would have been highly improper to express.

A most unfortunate encounter took place on Saturday evening between two artists who have occupied a prominent position here for some time. They were supposed to be of the most harmless disposition. They were also firm friends in fact, had formed a partnership in a lucrative business, Neither is formed for a pugilist or, if so, has suffered misfortunes which put him out of the lists as a combatant. The difficulty occurred at the corner of Front and West Main streets a commanding position these organists have held for some weeks. They divided the profits between them, and up to the unlucky evening we have had turned the crank in perfect harmony side by side, When we say in perfect harmony, we want to be understood as referring simply to the artists themselves not to their music One of the musicians is minus a leg, and the other has but one arm, circumstances which they were particular no passer by should fail to observe.

The good understanding between them gave way on Saturday evening. The one-legged man raised his crutch, and having thus taken away his own support, knocked the supports from under the other. As the one-armed man rolled in the mud, his partner sent the former's organ after him, and in this manner the moving spectacle which had excited the pity of old ladies so long, was suddenly changed to one which would have drawn laughter from a post. In a minute a crowd gathered, who enjoyed the scene now as much they migtat have been annoyed by the show at that cor ner nerexoiore, me one armed man, regaining his feet, started for the police station, and on the arrival of the officers, the musicians were ignoniiniou sly banished from the locality. A Pick jacket (ernes te Grief.

One of the light-fingered gentry, or perhaps an amateur in the profession, failed miserably in a job on Friday evening. "Upon tbe arrival of the 0 :05 train at Auburn on Friday evening. 7 says the Bulletin, and as Conductor Elisha Garrison stepped from the platform of a coach, he felt a jerk at his watch chain, and found that his i3 timepiece had disappeared, the chain hanging broken from the ring that had connected it with the watch. The only man near him was at once nabbed by the conductor, and as this was the pickpocket himself, with the watch in bis band, GarrUon raised tba alarm, while the thief threw the watch under the train and tried to dode among the crowd which quickly collected. Officer Casper took the stranger in charge, while a brake man crawled under the car and recovered the watch, which was somewhat battered by the fall.

On seeing it, Garrison gave the thief a blow which knocked him down, apparently stunned, when a brakeman ran for a cup of water and dashed it in the fellow's face. This aroused him, and he was taken to the station house, where he gave his name as John Mylan, claiming to be a peddler from Buffalo. Receipts were found on him for articles of clothing bought of Beir Stem and oil elth bought of Howe Rogers, Rochester, March 10th and ISth. "Mylan is rather roughly but decently dressed, and is about forty years of age. He appeared to have been drinking, and thus pre bttbly bungled his job.

ac-oompanied by a reaolut ton callini? fur a general canal the same eommiioner, seeking to account for the enormous expenditure, moved, a a substitute for the preamble, the foUowing; "'V hereae, 1 he ttlaptUitea con, it (Km of the cawaja at the time of the abrogation of the contract jtsU'oq made necefaary a further heav expenditure drawn their revenues, put them In proper navigable order, ete." But three weeks later, in reply to tbe demand of the ratal board for tbe concellawt.n of thefie these commissioners, by their majority, submitted a long arvoitient upon the relative mrii of the aper-intendent and contract sTs-tema, declined to rewm-raend the cancellation of the remaininjc eontraott aud said in defence of their action, contradicting ah of their prevKmn etatements.

In view of such overwhel-mTtf tetimonr ft must be conceded that whatever may have been the object, tbe interest of navigation did not require their ahoHnonT' "nor the surrender and cancelation of the several contract therefor." 1 bus we find the board of canal eommiswon-ers rveoromendtntt a law allowing contractors havintr poor XD tract to surrender them, and thoee having profitable aud fraudulent contract to retain them. The canals were in poor condition until the loainx contracts were aurrendered. and who the payins ones only remained and their cancellation was demanded, the canals suddenly became deeper and broader, the structures a tine repair, and the general condiUon eminently But the commissioner finally put upon record the fact, known to all nai men, trat the canals were in good conditio rn tbe tlist day of January, The only reasf-s that different statement had been made was simply to relieve certain parties from their anprohta-ble and enable them to realist unon tbeir permanent imprttvements. the law of 170 providtna; Hie eanal board should reimbnrse them for such expenditure, (me of the ermmissi oners, who made the strong rtsfcement as to the condition of came Into office in a Democrat. soceeeiing a He- fn; bit can, and therefore not likely to color the picture favor of the opposition.

Vr. Henry E. Roliini preached sar-mtm taM night at tbe First BaptiiPt church on the above subject, Tbe sermon was eaped-aDy addrtsned to ysnng men, many of whom Were in the audience. He took for his text the words Quit you like meiL 1 Cor. vi, IS.

The I whole Terse reads 1 'Watch ye, stand faat in the faith, qtiit you like men, be strong. He said theae words sound like a hmgle call to battle sounded along the hue. as it stands drawn up to battle array. They express the spirit of the apostle to tbe Gentiles, who fought tbe life battle. They also mpgevt the theme of tbe discourse, which is the heroism of tbe true Christian life." It may be asked "What is fvime define it as "tbe self-devotion of genius stimulating to action.

Another and more accurate definition is "tbe self-devotion of a magnanimous soul to right ends. There must be this greatness, this magnanimity of sotd. Self-devotion is another requisite. It is also necessary that these be directed to right ends, for one cannot conceive a heroism which is directed to ev-fl ends. Tbe admiration for the beroif is natural.

Until a man baa kwt tbe beauty of life, ntitd its aroma is wasted, he cannot but feel its inflaenie. The young soul is stirred to its dop Jm by its action. Oratory and poetry both receive from it tLcir inspiration. Fainting also manifests it in representing the faces upon which God has stamped nobleness. If one were to walk through som? of the art galleries of Europe, if his soul were not dead it would leap up in admiration of the characters portrayed by tbe brumes the masters of the art.

It is shadowed forth in the mother who is prond of the heroic deeds of her dead son. whom would rather see wrapped in tbe winding sheet of the flag of his conn try rather than tlit no arm of his should render bis country ervi.e. Feligion gives ample scope to this feeling. It is a right sentiment. In fact there is so natural impulse of the soul which is not 'perfectly right in some of its modes of activity.

It is right because it is not opposed to the meekness of Christ. The humble Jiazarene was meek. He simply asserted what he was words that would be blasphemous for any but him to utter. The meek man does not push himself into places into which he is not called, but being calk-dj, he is resolute in the Ierformance of every duty. Then there is none more res lute than he.

The definition of heroism, given by a young person at a prayer-meeting a willingness to do the will of God at all tame goes a great way. Christ bound himself under this rule all his life, when he endured tbe buffeting and mocking in Pilate's hall, and when he bore the heavy cross upon Calvary. This heroism is demanded in the Christian life, because it is a warfare. Think not, said Christ, that 1 1 came to snd peace into the world, but a sword. Paul said, fight a good fight of faith.) It is a warfare against evil in ourselves, and requires heroic self -training.

Paul's description of his preparation for the battle of as a preparation for a race brings out the idea of careful training. He said I keep under my body. The language of the original in this passage is very expressive. It reads bruise under the eye. The careful training is also manifested in the way in which students in colleges prepare for contests by denying every indulgence, and being extremely careful of their health.

Some pet sous consider it only fit for women, but that is not the way in which Jesus Christ viewed it, nor the way in which Paul viewed it. It requires a mighty heroism. The thought sometimes present itself, why bear the burden Like one who trains himself for tbe conflict the tempted should strike the tempter under the eye. In this inward training there may be a greater heroism thaa is displayed on the battle field. It is to this heroism that all are invited.

It has been said with some degree of truth that the tendency of our reliiun is to efTaiui. nacy. We need more heroism. We need some of the spirit of Luther, Calvin, and John Knox. Courage in the defence of truth is as really needed to-day as it was then.

Hit is alto needed in action. The sublimest moment in a man's life is when he stands alone with God and atks, What wilt thou have me to It takes a great struggle to come to this point. We stretch out our Lands for associates and! friends. When a man comes to this point tbe solemnity is like the solemnity the judgment day. All earthly ties failing, father, mother, sister, brothel, wife and husband, in that dread silence are strangers to him, Ood looks down and gives hurt his commission.

Such a sen -I timcTit is one of true heroism. Such a hero-Ism L-i seen in Bunyan's answer to the judge before whom he was being tried, who forbid him on fear of great penalties to preach the spei He replied, 4 1 am at a point with you there. If I were out of prison today I would preach the gospel to-morrow by the help of God. Tbe tender father by virtue of the heroism which God inspires in the human spirit stood upright in the declaration of his principles, even though his fam ily perished and he himitclf died. There is great inspiration in this heroism.

Jesus Christ is your example. Look at him. Draw an inspiration from his example. He was laid on the altar a young man, as you are, Tbe work) was the same to him as it is to you. B'.

hold him the only true model of a If at some time of temptation your heart fail keep your eye upon that patient sufferer. Go with him into liiate's halL View him buffeted. upon. Behold him bearing a eroSj tip Calvary and at last nailed to and from such a life as his you a ill draw a sweeter joy than mortals ever drew. You will feed your kindred with God.

You will know yourself a brother of Jasus when on the lost day those eyee shall ujon you and say Well done good and faithful servant. Look upon htm who for the joy that was set before him endured the f-rcise, deoptung the shame, and is set down i.t toe rbt hand of the throne of tiod. Icc.memle-r the truth. Get into tbe wur)d you live in. Some tbiuk suth tiutbs are bibles but when the heaveas bhall pa wy they will remain true and unshaken.

Nothing else is true. KtiueUiber Jesus Christ is the only pattern of the true man. a regret that neither time or space will oeraat a fuller and more accurate report of the rio which in every respect richly deserved it. It was delivered in a nearly ex-tempore manner, and the eJlort on this account is all the mora praiseworthy. Yeaterdy vfirtioia a very large atidooe mxvt3tajLin at tu of St.

Tbe time was when Hamilton labored at mirbt to sustain his family, that he miaht serve tbe state by day.

chapter law of seemingiy applying only to the enlargement and enmptetmn mentioned in section 3, article 7, of the eonstitutioa isee chapter ItV, laws of tviit. The cause shown here is tat by a resolution of Deeemi-er 6th. lri, the toerd allowed the water to remain la the eanal at this point during the coming winter, thus interfering with the doing of the work, which can only be done when the wtjU-t is out. It appear from the statement of the engineer that of most of the items of the work the contractor has done a larger amount than the uantitv sheet exhibited at the letting require. The throwing the work over the winter thus wlii keep the contractor another year oat of the deposit required t4.uuv), and the fifteen percent, retained.

All good men are desironj of saving young men and raising them up to a glorious manhood but the doors of these traffickers are open to draw in our young men, and take away their income and drag them down to moral death. Sixth It is chargeable with detroving the industry of tbe moderate drinker, as well as that of the penon who sells it and encourages idleness and indolence. Bevecti Itis chargeable with the destruction of life. The trade see men constantly going down to death and they sell to them knowing that is the result. Eight It is chargeable with corrupting the blood of parents and entailing upon their children untold miaerles.

Ninth It is chargeable not only with wasting the substance and destroying the bodies of men. but what is far worse, forever blasting their souls, for all ot which the trade has no reasonable excuse. But has this trade a private character only or has society something to do with it Ever since its existence it has, at least, exercised the right to control that which has had a.tendency to ruin its members, and it has excercised that right by giving a license to some, to engage in this traffic and by prohibiting others. But for what has society allowed so destructive a traffic to be carried on. For a little cash paid into its trer-sury, who is responsible? Every individual who has not done what he could to prevent these licenses.

Every one knows its effect; and knowing it, is as re sponsible as the man who allows the vicious ox to roam around. He who keeps the stuff on hand to sell is he who digs the pit. The saloons are the pits and our sons and husbands fall into them. The calamities that come from this trade are net accidental, bat well known; and be who is engaged in it works in every possible way to draw oar young men into these gilded places and to get your estate and mine into his till. It matters not what he sets out to attract attention.

It is damnation hot or damnation cold, as will best suit his purpose. These pits are open for the purpose of gain, and what care thej" for the bodies or the souls They care nothing for the dreadful agonies of a mother who sees her son gradually falling. The law is just life for life, damnation for damnation it is equity. And there is a court before which these men must stand, where witnessess can not be bought. They must face the eternal God and meet their doom, and the eternal fires of purgatory shall not bum in vain.

If men would only feel and act, if the clergy dared to come out and speak upon these truths as they ought to speak, this tramc might be stayed. But, he continued, my object is not to turn your disgust upon this traffic only, but also to make you disgusted with yourselves and show yc-u your responsibility. Society has opened these pits by taking the money of tho vender and granting him a license to sell, and you and I in our corporate capacity as a part of society are responsible. The man who drink may not see the awful rnmo tfjf Mal ITUUI ULUf UtS men who sell it may not see it; they are blinded; bet society sees it and feels it. If there is any place for society to work, it is time to be at it.

Bat what shall be done fcfwear every one to total abstinence. Proclaim temperance and moderation from all the pulpits in the land. Save tbe fallen. All this ia noble work: but to use it without the public will is impotent. We need and must have the strong arm of the law to aid in the work.

Men who steal are few were it not for drink. Murders would be few but for drink. All crimes against which laws are enacted are not to be compared in their results with this tramc. Now suppose an individual has in his pocket a key with which he can forever close one of these places, and then be goes and gets a multitude of good men and their sons and brings them to the place and for their mony ruins them, then sets himself to the task of reforming them, etui leaving the door open, Loping he has the power to close it and save the whole. What coukl be said of his con-wtency I Gaffney, the murderer of Buffalo, was drank at the time, McElhaney who was hung in Bob ton a few days since was drunk when he commited the deed, Foster who was hung but diy before yesterday in Sew Tork was crazed with liquor.

It was by accident the pistol was put into the murderers hand, and tbe deed was done, it was by accident the pretended iusuit was offereed, it was not by premeditated design that these murders were conunitted. The judge charged the jury that the refponibiiity rented in the man's putting himself in such a condition, being drunk and society hung him. Hung them tor what a hundred men in our goodly ityhave been guilty of in the last twenty-four hours. Gaffney bought fifteen glasses of lienor before he committed the deed, but he had an accomplice the liquor sellers; but behind that was a figure. What is that? Upon the liueainenta of it can be seen your face and mine.

It i society. It saw the crimed that must follow. But now there is a scaffold erected, a ctuinsy frame work. Upon it stands a citizen, the head of a great class who crowded the streets at hit. burial a man whom politicians had flattered and fawned around for his miluence a man who had a right to buy if the seller had a right to sell a right to drink if he had a right to buy.

Tne black cap is drawn over his face and the rope adjusted about his neck. There is just back of him a wooden screen what is behind that Socksty personated by the sheriff and this man launched into eternity Tor wnatf For being drunk. Society bee used a man to seu, a man bought of the Licensed daaier, and drinks it. Society hangs him for drinking. However much you screen society, you can not hide or Bhirk the responsibility.

Was It a Fan-re1 Marriage The Uuiua of Saturday gave some details of a marriage which has led to legal proceedings. The ceremony was performed nearly a year ago, and, although nothing was said about the circumstances in the papers, got-alp spread them just as widely. In March, of last year, which ia as Union says, a few months siuoe, a warrant was issued against a young man for alleged aed action under ptinise of marriage. The youth was arrested and in order to stop legal proceeding, consented to marry the girt A detective brought him to her father's house, a priest was summon ed the two were maoe one. The groom was eighteen and tbe bride a year older.

He went bos to his parent and aba staid with hers. Some time after, the young man was called upon to furnish support fur his wife, and on his pefttsuig a warrant brought him agam before th polk court. Last Saturday a decuio. was reached. Justice Bryan on the adviae of Judge Fuller, holding that as the defeadajat waa a minor, his father was entitled to his earnings and therefore tba wife eould not claim support.

Furthersnttre aaactkot baa been begus ia the supreme court Vo annul the marriage Contract, the young man alleging that haw forced ta go through the ceremony. He pleads also that be was the seduced party is what had bappenea previously, b-ict wxt utwzem of the marriage aa we have seen 4ey explicitly that force, or threats were used to gain tne youta cor won. Tber say that ha amiply aaked if be could avuid further legal proceedings by theoea and setting an affirm ve answer. fetid'them to send for a clergyma. They also alWge that the Irkt who came wanted dm young to for bis father, but this he dttcUned to do.
