TirE Tuscoliv Recicm speaks in very fint- teriug terms of iv discourse preached at the union thanksgiving service in that city, by Rev. D. Best, late pastor of btapp's Chiqiel iu this city. Mr. J3cst is now pastor of the M.

E. Church iu Tuscola, and we are happy to learn stands very high itli his people, as well as with th' 1 public generally. IT has become quite common for men and boys to curry pistols about their persons. There is law regulating this practice of currying concealed weapons, which ought, in every instance, to be rigidly enforced. Accidents are daily happening whereby innocent persons are hurried into eternity without a moment's warning by the accidental discharge of deadly weapons in the hinds of thoughtless men and careless boys.

Only cowards and the police carry weapons in a peaceable community. THE Danville C'ontine reial turkey-eating part of thanksgiving day was very generally observed in this city. The praise God department, however, appeared to be patroniziul to a vciy limited degree." Deratur did better than that, for they did full justice to the "turkey-eating department," they crowded the Presbyterian church to its full capacity to attend to the "praise God department." IfAIU AND should not be forgotten that the young ladies of the Presbyterian congregation arc to give a grand fair and festival at tho opera house, on Friday evening, Deo. 21st. AH varieties of fancy needle work, and a great variety of other articles, will be on sale; also a beautiful doll, which will be sold at auction, unless otherwise disposed of.

Refreshments will bo abundant, and the best which the market affords. "We lave no doubt that the young ladies will receive a liberal patronage, as they deserve to. In addition to the line exhibition of fancy goods and delicious refreshments, great care will bo taken to render the occasion in all respects agreeable socially. All are invited, with the assurance on the part of the young ladies that they will do their best to contribute to tho enjoyment of nil in attendance. From Saturday's Dally.

C'ltuflHED afternoon a very sad accident occurred to a boy by the name of Casner, a son of Mr. Fred. Casuer. It seems that the switch engine was doing some work in she vicinity of the woolen mill, and had just been detached from a car that it was moving, leaving the car to follow by its momentum to the point where il was to be stopped. The lad noticing the engine pass, anil not seeing the car, stepped upon the truck just in timi' to be struck by the latter, and knocked down, the wheels passing over his right arm and leg, crushing hi a fearful manner.

The un- a boy was taken to the residence of Joseph ell, corner of Broadway and C'erro Oordo streets, where he re- ceh cd.every possible intention. Dr. R. Walston, ol the burgle al Institute, was called, and a a the mangled leg below Ihu knee, ami tho arm just the elbow. This iiceidc nt should be a warning tn'iovs about being around ears that are iu motion.

The misfortune seems all the more painful on account of upon .1 family that can ill afford to bear Jlr. Casner, tho father of the boy, is, we understand, a plasterer by trade, and in somewhat straightened, circumstances, and the mother is now sick with piesumc the neighbors will bear these facts in mind, and do what may need to be done to render the family comfortable in their double misfortune. This morning the attending physician found tho boy much better than couli! have been expected and in the best of spirits. When the doctor asked him hoiv he was, he facetiously replied: "I haven'i lost a. meal, I ate supper before I got hurt, aad have had hearty breakfast this morning." This for a ten-year-old boj showed pretty good grit.

After considerable discussion as to whether the organization would be auxiliary to the National Union, J.

The chair appointed a committee of ive to draft a constitution, consisting of he following gentlemen: Haverhill, Moron, Orr, Stevenson and Gorin. Committees were appointed on permanent officers and resolutions.

Delegates re-assembled at 7.30, and the committee on resolutions reported the fol- owing, which were adopted: WHEBEAS, "In union there is strength," nd, whereas, it is the sense of this convention, that the National C.

Adjourned. "The Poor Ye Have with ye Always." A forcible reminder of the above saying of our Savior was noticeable on North Franklin street, in the person of two children, a boy and girl, apparently brother and sister, and evidently not more than five and seven years of age, the girl being the older of the two. Their clothing was exceedingly thin and considerably torn, and upon their feet they wore what were once shoes, with holes so large that the toes protruded themselves into full view, while the soles were apparently not thicker than cloth. The little creatures were shivering with the cold, and thuir faces were fairly purple, so thoroughly chilled were they. We presume that these were simply representatives of a large number of children in the city, who are not only destitute of nil luxuries, but whose homes are not provided with food and raiment sufficient to prevent actual suffering.

Those who arc blest with the comforts of life have but little idea of the actual amount of suffering there is right here in Decatur, on account of a lack of the necessaries of life, and many when made acquainted with cases of sufferingjcharge it up to laziness and bad management, and excuse themsclvesjfrom doing anything to relieve the suffering of the poor on that ground. It is quite probable that in many cases suffering is entailed upon small and helpless children by shiftlessness of their parents, but it should be remembered that so far as the children are concerned suffering is unavoidable, and they are therefore entitled to the sympathy nnrl assistance of the public. We trust, therefore, that a liberal spirit and policy will prevail among our people as to providing for the poor of the city the present winter. While it may not always be possible to discriminate between worthy and unworthy objects of charity, we claim that it is better that a dozen be assisted who do not deserve it rather than that one should suffer who really needs and deserves help, We hope that citizens will organize for systematic effort and co-operation Jfor the relief of the poor. If a father and husband is a worthless drunkard, that fact furnishes the strongest of reasons why his wife and children should have the sympathy and assistance of the public, and the husband should be sought out and persuaded to better modes of life.

E.

A. GASTMAX, Sup't. From Thursday's Dally. THE CONVENTION OF a State Convention the meeting which adjourned here yesterday was exceedingly small numerically, which was owing to the fact that only a brief notice was given, some of the local Unions and Alliances represented having received the circular giving the call only a day or two before the time fixed for holding the convention, while it may be true that some of the associations did not receive the circular at all; but what the meeting lacked in numbers it made tip in spirit. Both the afternoon and evening the discussions upon the various points under consideration were earnest and spirited and evinced on the part of the delegates pi esent desire to do hat would be best to promote the interests of the cause of temperance.

The proceedings of the body in full will be found in another place. The convention reached a final adjournment last evening about ten o'clock, and the members fiom other towns returned home la.st night and'to-day.

REFOBM CLUB. CHANGE OF Grenadiers have changed their headquarters and now have their armory in Powers' Hall, where Ln many respects they are much better accommodated Jthan in the old place. The Grenadiers will be, when fully uniformed, as fine looking a military corps as Illinois can-turn out. They are to have a grand ball on New Tear's eve. The meeting of the Reform Club last night was an excellent one in spirit and argc in attendance.

Mr. J. B. McDonald, president of the club, occupied the chair. A few items of business received the attention of the club, such as voting thanks to those who assisted in presenting the play of "The Drunkard;" also to Miss Lawson, for a beautiful motto for the use of the club.

A resolution was also adopted inviting the Young Men's Christian Association to hold its meeting in the club room on Tuesday cvcningnext. In the course of the evening letter was read from Brother Jake, who is now conducting a temperance campaign in Springfield. It was voted to print the letter and place it in a handsome frame, lobe hung in the hall. The time for electing officers was fixed for Friday night preceding Christmas. A very interesting address was delivered by Rev.

C. E. Page, which was listened to with much interest. A meeting was appointed for next Monday night, for the purpose of making arrangements to go to Springfield, on the occasion of the excursion next week. The meeting last night was one of the best yet held, and will have a tendency to stimulate the members to greater diligence in their work.

DEATH OF LITTLE WAT.TKB --In another place will be found a death notice of this unusually bright and interesting child. The event will draw toward Mr. and Mrs. C. P.

the grief-stricken parents, the warmest sympathy of their neighbors and Walter was not only the light and joy of the home circle, but was dearly loved by all who had become acquainted with his genial spirit and pleasant ways, and all who knew him will most deeply regret his early demise. Some weeks ago he was stricken down with scarlet fever, which for several days threatened to prove fatal, but by skillful medical attention and careful nursing he was finally restored, so far as to be at play about the house, and all apprehension of danger had subsided. But while hope was buoyant, the little fellow was a few days ago stricken down--this time with diplheria, in a malignant form, and despite all efforts to arrest this dreaded disease, it terminated fatally soon after midnight thi- morning. GOOD ADVICE --A sensible farmer writes as follows i an exchange: "Now is the time when i.irmcr.s should be careful. If you have a few dollars to invest, do rot spend it for something to look at and admire, but buy a calf or two, and you will find it a good thing: your summer's work is done; where is your machinery The garden rakejhas climbed a tree, the hoc is in the potato-patch, the corn plow in the fence corner, the mower and hay-rake out on the prairie.

Farmers, this is one of the greatest mistakes you ever made in your life. You should take care of your them away in the dry, and they will last twice as long as tools that are allowed to lie around in the weeds and rot from one using time to another. From Buturiluy'8 Daily. AT night a large ami enthusiastic temperance meeting was held at Moawcqua in Union hall, which was addressed by Hon. A.

B. Bunn and C. J. Holt, of this city. Mr.

Bunn made one of his ablest efforts and carried the audience with him as by storm. Charley made a good talk and the meeting was in all respects a grand success. The reform club of Moawequa has fitted up a reading room in very comfortable shape and thoroughly organized for work. The total number of signers to the pledge is 1,065, embracing all the prominent men of the town as well as those who have been hard drinkers. Friday's Dally, ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon a young ufan named Athcrton, residing near llervcy City, while hunting, attempted to give his brother, who was on the opposite side of the hedge, a shot-gun; the hummer caught on a twig, causing the discharge of the gun, the'content lodging iji liis brother's arm, so toarinj; the muscles as to make it nccessaiy to amputate jusi below the elbow.
