Humphrey, Jrf; the in­fant child of M r. and Mrs. Bagg, and two children of Mr .; and; Mrs. Geo. Holien- stein. The church was uniquely and beautifully decorated; the pulpit plat­form vas banked with ferns, making a baek-ground for the sentence “Suffer Little Children to Come:Unto Me,”:the artistically formed letters of which were made of exquisite pansies.

The Presbyterian church was never more elaborately and tastefully de.co-

- rated than on last Sunday morning, there beihg a profusion bf flowers and" blooming plants, A large congregation was present and en joyed the interesting exercises, which began with the hymn “Jesus, King of Clpry.” Rev; Dr* Nassau then administered the rite of baptism to five infants, children of A.

Inspecting Salt Properties.Thomas Ward, a member of the

British Parliament and manager of the English Salt Syndicate, and James Stubbs, a director, and large salt manu­facturer, accompanied by ,Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Mitchell, of New York, arrived in town, on Thursday evening, by carriage from Geneseo. On Friday the gentle­men visited those salt works upon which options are held, for the purpose of disr covering if their output is such as claimed, and the estimated value of the plants a reasonable one. The English gentlemn expressed themselves in most

‘enthusiastic terms over the extent and completeness of the Wextern New York establishments, especially those about Warsaw, and admit that in improved devices and ability to produce salt cheaply they far surpass their expecta­tions, Col. McClure, Dr. Coleman: and Mr. Mitchell, the commissioners, who have just made sucli a thorough inspec­tion of all the salt works in 'New . York Btate, found that the brine in the War­saw valley was stronger than elsewhere, feeing from 95 to 100, while in the Gene­see Valley it is from 82 to 96, and at Syracuse from 55 to 62. The Wyoming field also produces the purest brine. There seems now to be every indication that nearly all the works in the Western New York district will go into the Union, thus changing the salt industry ih many of its features. There will be a resident manager, who is to have sup­ervision of all the works, with a foreman for each. Mr. Ward’s valuation of British salt properties formed the basis of the purchases made by the English Salt Union, involving $20,000,000, and he states that the operations of the American Union for the first six months would enable it to declare a dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. M r. .Ward and. Mr. Stubbs will'visit the Canada, Michi­gan and Kansas salt fields before re­turning to England pn the 26th inst. GoL McClure has prepared very com- plete and elaborate maps of the whole Western -New,York field, showing; the location of all the salt Works: in the Genesee and Wyoming valleys, the Piff-, ard salt mine, and all the streams and railroads. These maps will be taken to England.

The party left Warsaw on Saturday morning for Niagara Falls, where they spefet Sunday, leaving for the wests on M onday. ' ■ r;- ;•

They immediately went to their room and had their supper there, de­priving a large. and anxious crowd col­lected about the hotel of getting a glimpse at the champion.

Sunday afternoon in company with J, J. Barrett they took a drive about town aud to the High Banks of the Gen­esee, an d in the evening attended ser­vices at the Catholic church.

Mrs. Achsa Salisbury, widow of tE late Samuel Salisbury, died suddenly o Monday morning, aged 92 years. Not­withstanding her advanced years she has? been in excellent health, full of vigor, and t hough ready to leave this world at any time, yet enjoyed life with great cheerfulness and enthusiasm. She re­turned only last week from a pleasant visit to her daughter at Silver Springs, and notwithstanding the bad state of the roads felt no ill effects from the ride. On Monday morning she was found lying on the floor of ber room, partially dressed, complained of a pain near the heart, and died before the physician, who was at once summoned, had arrived. The end of her life came suddenly as she had desired. Upon being told pn Saturday of the death of Mrs. Gardiner she said “that is just as I want to die.” Mrs. Salisbury was born in Orwell, Vt., Feb. 4, 1797, and came to Warsaw with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Noble, in November, 1810. When fifteen years of age she was married to Samuel Salis­bury, whom she has survived eleven years. Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury united with the Baptist church in 1820; and her death removes the last of the original members of that organization. She has been an earnest, consistent, trusting Christian, whose life was a blessing th all who came within reach of its inflneqee. Of four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury, one son and one daughter survive, being Mrs. Eli Dibble, of Silver Springs, and S. Hopkins Salisbury, of Warsaw. The funeral was held this (Wednesday) afternoon, at 2 o’clock, from her late residence on North Main street, R e v . Dr. Nassau officiating, and was largely attended by old friends and neighbors.

P. ill. General on Temperance.[Fublished hy requestJ

I t is well known that the question of constitutional prohibition is before the people of Pennsylvania, and here is the manner in which Mr. Wanamaker de­livered himself on that subject in his Sunday school on a recent Sunday: “Right here in our city are broken­hearted people, beaten against the rocks of adversity, by this tide of liquor and license. The man who will not sign a temperance pledge, though he does not need it himself, to help a weaker brother, is not as much of a man as he thinks himself to be. Christ said ‘deny your­selves,’ and ‘take your cross and fellow me.’ The man who takes only a little and will not give it up, is as much con­trolled by it as if he was a habitual drunkard. He is.under the influence be­cause he will not give it up. What’s the reason you won’t stand up for the amend­ment? Because you like a glass of beer. You say, ‘I want to be free to take an occasional drink.’ What influence keeps you from voting for the amendment? Isn’t it the inflence of that glass of beer? There are thousands of men in this city who do not get drunk. They say, ‘we have a right to drink it" if we want to, and to sell it, to buy it and to give it away.’ A man may not drink it at all, but he may be under the influence of the liquor spirit.

“I t is the same with many a politician. He is afraid be won’t get votpg; so foe is silent on the liquor question. When the minister or, teacher refuses to speak out on this question, he is ruled by the liquor interest. The drunkard who votes for prohibition is a freer man than the total abstainer who carries water on both shoulders, and then votes for liquor, or pats it in the harness of high license Just as the saloon-keeper must answer for every glass he sells, he must answer for voting for liquor. I t is simply a question of whether or not we are in favor of the saloons. I t is hot a ques­tion of high license. The quibble that prohibition does not prohibit has noth­ing to do with it. The law against steal­ing does not prevent stealing. The same power that puts the amendment in our constitution will attend to the enforce­ment of it. I t is our dutv to make it as difficult to get liquor, as it is to get poi­son, License means that the city, state and saloon-rkeeper shall go into partner­ship to ruin men, to build up jails, alms­houses, hospitals and houses of correc­tion, and keep up taxes. God Is going to count the votes. Vote for prohibi­tion, aud you will vote for him, for order, for religion, and for the highest civilization. He will see every ballot. When you go home to-night go down on you knees, every one of you, and pray to God to help you to carry the amend­ment.”
