Fl ROBERT ShIrH.-Mr. Wells, during the ex :


animation of Joe Lofontane at the iaL on


Monday, said that he had asked who Lafont-


ane was. and was told that his name was


Robert Smith. Joe smiled. No wonder.
Nothing can be done but Smith must bear the
blame. His brother John robbed every hen
roost and committed every act Of incendiarlsm;
but since he has been sent TO the penitentiary
thousand times in as many days, and conse-
quently is not al liberty to torment the com
muniy, his brother Robert has undertaken
acts TO prevent the extinction Of the family
name, and and preserve it in history with that
OF Erostralus, who 6red the Ephesian temple.
II we We're named John Smith, in English,
we should change it, without the DELAY Of a
moment, into German, or Dutch, and respond
to and recognize the appellation Of Hans
Schmidt.


HE Sons OF TEMPERANcE-INTEREs RESTING
FAcTs.-A member Of the Crystal Fount
Division of this city, having been absent for
sometime. and taken sick, writes from Gull
ford, Conn. to another member of the same
Division, in part as follows:-


Upon the reception of your letter drew up
a petition stating my compaint and the circum-
stances atendeding i, praying for seven weeks
benefit, which with the certificates of Doctor -
| presented to Harmony Division. This
Division not contributing to the National Fund
and being unacquainted with the last Act of
the National Division respecting it, requested
time to write to the @. w. P. for information,
which, of course did not object 10. Shortly
after this left New Haven to spend few
weeks with relative in Meriden, and conse-
quently knew nothing more of the matter un-
I'll last Friday when by calling on the r. s. I
found the money in his posession-$28 co."


These facts afford a beautiful illustration of
the practical utility Of this and kindred orders.
While they tend to lessen the number Of drink
ers Of ardent spirits, they act upward in dis
pensing the blessings ofhelping their members
when sick, and in need, far from their homes.
