Weekly Times hus the following testimonial, signed by twenty-seven of their leading men, ivcluding nine merchants, the president of the bunk, their doctors, clergymon and lawyers, the County Judge, County Attorney, Circuit Clerk, etc.: We, whese names are hereto subscribed, take pleasure in bearing testimony lo the beneficial offects of the Locul Option luw in force in Ow- entown and other precincts in Owen Cuunty, Ky.Tho suloons being closed, and the druggists conforming to the law, a case of drunkenness is of very rare oe- currence, and only witnessed when the liquor has been oblained outside of the district.Men formbrly addicted ta drink, new come lo town, attend (o their business, and go home sober, car- vying with them provisions for their families, purchased with the money which they used \u2018to spend for whisky.As a vatural result crimes are rerely committed and violations of: the penal lawg are seldom heard of.Even an our public duys quiet, order and peace prevail, we learn frem our merchants and business men that their trade has increased about birly per cent.Il iigion apd morals have heen greatly aided.Our women .are happy, our children ave glad.Even those voters who were doutfal of the result, now acknowledgo tho manifest success of the Local Option measure.An Arkansus paper has the fellow- ing item: 00 All'must admit that the prohibition of the sale of whisky in this town and county has worked great geod in every way, Mon who heretofore could not come to town without getiing beastly drunk, now come and go away sober, decent and quiet.So of some of the citizens hore; they were full every day, aud incapacitated tor any busi- nezss.But now, the smell of whisky ig not upon (joir gurments, and they are growing quiet and industrious: The most marked improvement is tho peace, quiet und good order which prevails in our town.Our marshal has not been required to make an arrest since Christmas.We huve not hiourd of à single row or disturbance.And such is the case all over (he State.The town of Conway, in Faulkner county, wig paying ite marshal thirty-Gve \u2018tp forty dollars a month.Sinco the sale of liquor bas been pros hibited in that town, ho bud so little te do, that as a conscientious man who weuld not receive pay for nothing, be resigned his office.Of Randolph county, Miss, the Alabama Baptist thus speaks: This goynty voted for prohibition wbout ane year ago, since which time not vue drop of whisky has been sold in our county\u2014for any purpose\u2014lbat Iam aware of, and our county has been changed from au hellsen earth to te a puradise! No peu, nu tongue, no imagination, can picture to outsiders the change.While at tho first election, some men of respectubility and good standing, opposed Prohibition, now, 1 dp not beliove there is a respeot- uble, good citizen in the whole county who would vute for the return of whisky in our county.Somo suid it would injure eur trade to probibit the sale of whisky, Well, instead of isjur- ing our trade, it has incronsed it, and the whisky men are bound to acknowledge tho fact.\"l\u2019ho Carrolton (Gu.) Enterprise says: \u201cSince the sale of liquor wus pro- hilited in this town five years ago, the amount of trade haus incromsed from $200,000 to $600,000, und there is not one merchant in thirty who would not volo (on puroly business princi\u201d plex) against the re instatement of the liquor traffic, ;

now straying into the stuble to visit my bay horse\u2014a new purchase, which I flattered myself did na small honor 10 my judgment \u2018in\u2019 hoise-flesh.Gradually, bowever, all these subjects of pleasant reflection slipped into a mass, aud got confusedly mixed together.I found myself gazing, witheut feeling the least surprised, at an odd vision, which showed me my sister mounted on my pet bay with the baby in her arms, who, \"iilstegd of u baby\u2019s face, had the face of my neighbor and patient, old Mr.Spieer, the grocer, and \u201ccon aiter that ] was sunk into a peaceful slumber, where no dream even eae to disturb me, How joag 1 slept À do not exactly know, but'T recollect I woke with g start, rouged by tho clock on the vhim.ney-piece, which had a peculiurly ringing, clear sound, striking eight.1 sal upright with a jerk and looked around with that vaguely uncomtort.able feeling which often fellows sudden waking.My glance happened to wauder up to tho mirror which was over the chimney-piece.Why was it that, as I gaged at it, I uttered a low exclumation, and then shut my eyes, thinking that sleop must still be retaining its power over me, and that I must be dreaming a strange, fantastic dream ?But no, I certainly wus not dreaming, for thero it was just as {t bad been before.Fix my eyes as steadily us I might upan the mirror, with all my wakeful faculties concentrated upon it in enger earnostness, it was still there, I lovked away, and fastened my look, for a minule or more, upon my mother's picture which hung over the sides bourd.Thon my eyes were allowed Le return to the glass; but this man.®uvre was useless also -it would not go, do what } would, ' What | saw was cortainly noalarm- ing vision, thought iL appearance, there in the mirror, over my dinning-room chimney- piece, was remarkable and startling evough, te suy the least of it.In the middle ef the glues, which in its other parts reflected simply and naturally the commonplace objects in the room, \u2018ghairs and tables and window- curtaing, there appeared a vividly die- tinct picture of house and garden.It was à very prelty house, its froot covered on one side with a green creeper, which was spangled with starry white blossoms, and on the other with a fresco such as I had heard described as existing on the walla of houses in Italy, when I had never heen \u2014a fresco vepresenting an old woman sitting with a buskot of oranges at her feet, There were four windows, two upstairs, two down, exuctly over cach \u2018other ; they weie all half shaded with greun blinds, wud 1 could see that the top one, ou the right-hand, was slightly open.Up the garden there ran a broad gravel-walk, with soft, fresh turf, gommed with flower-beds on cither side of il.The enclosure wus fenced round with rather high, woaden pail- ing, wad in one vorpor of it stoood u summer house with a quuintly shaped roof, that hud & pagoda about it.Over the whulo there was spresd a rofl, ail- vory light, us though a bright, full moun was shining down upon it.A yellow gleam, av al & lamp burning within, stole through the open window, and mingled with the white rays without.[laid iny fingors upon my pulse.Wus 1 going fust into à raging fevor ?My pulse were sa bieady as (bey wero when I rose that moruiug utter a night'ssound sleep.| tested my brain by going through, in my mind, all the symptoms and featmies in a difficult und perplexing case which had been lately under my care; my mind acted us coolly and calinly und regularly us it had ever doue.I ropested to myself several passages of poetry from differout authorsin different lunguages ; they came as quickly and eusily to my tongue as if I had been reading them from a printed book.I gazed around, and fixed iny eyes on various objoels in the reom tu see whether 1 should bo subjected to other optical illusions ; but in other points ny eyes were as\u2019 reasonable as they usually wore ; they showed me nothing but the familiar chairs nud tables, and the well-known pattern of the paper on the wall, Then I looked buck at the mirror.The house was still there.Had I been reading lately a description of such a house, or had I lately seen anywhere a picture like it ?Eith- or of these things might possibly have left u vivid impression on my mind which might have accounted for the strange delusion.I was not, however, able to recolieot, search my memory as [ would, that a book or a painting had brought such a house and garden before my thoughts, I was naturally neither excitable nor imaginative ; indeed, 1 wus generally regarded by everyone who knew me, and by myself inte the burgain, as one of the most prosaic, rational beings in the world.My fancy had never before played me the smallest trick even us I rode home, worn eut with watching by a sick-bed, on the darkest night; even in the many painful scenes, full of death and gloom, through which my professional life bad led me.In the dissecting- room, in the severest seperation, my band had always beon as steady as if I were peeling an orange.All this made the present incomprehensible vision yet more utterly inexplicable, Besides, even while I gaze at it, I knew thet [ bad mever felt more calm and collected and mere in un ordinary condition ef body and mind throughout my very cominonplace, very busy history.Would another pair of eyes seo the bouse in themirror?1 wondered.With a burried hand I rang the bell to test this point, and summonod my houso-kospar, who goneréily erself waited on me.This gacd lady's name was Mrs, Trickey.It i« & common Dove: shire nume, let it be at once understood by those who are not aware of the fuct, and is in no way meant to hint at any unpleasant procivitios or unwarraatable whims ou lhe werthy dumc'e purt; she wus as honest and simple-minded à weman as over handled a bunch of keys.¢ Mrs, Trickey, I have rung for you to ask you to do meu very simple thing,\u2019 I suid hesitatingly, now that she was present, scarcely krowing how to begin ; for I felt, if l spoke out plainly, my house-keeper must infallibiy tbink that 1 bad suddenly taken leave of my senses, \u201cWhat will \u2018se please lo hava, sir roplied Mrs.\u2018l'rickey, in true Dovon shire fashion, * Mrs, Trickey, will you please loek in tho ginss over the chimmney-piece ?' I blurted out rather abruptly, not knowing how else te find out what I wanted to discover.\u201cGet along with your nonsense, Master Fred,\u2019 oried Mrs.Trickey, with a toss of hor head, which was so cner- getio it almost discompoged the stiff frills of her cup.It must be mentiened here that Mr~, Trickey had lived with my mother when 1 was a bpy, and that, with her I still continued Muster Fred, though all (he world besides know me as Frederick Lleathonte, Kxq., surgeon.I can nnsure you, Mrs.Trickey, 1 mean to no insult nor evon a joke,\u2019 I replied humbly.[I fancied something was wrong in the reflection of the glass; perhaps Susan has not dusted it 188 sho should.Will you please look nto it with your exporienced oyes, Mra, Trickey.I was in hopes that this last im plied campliment would have propitiated the house keeper; but apparently it had no such effect, for aftor a short inspection of the mirrer she said tartly : \u2018The gluss be vight enough so far as I do see; Lhis be just oue of your whimn, Master Fred.\u2018 But, Mrs.Trickoy, do pleused tell me what you ~00 when you look into it, I excluimed, seeing that I must be more explicit if | wanted to gain full certainty on the matter.¢ Why what sheuld | «ee but my own fuoe, Muster Frod ?' she retortod snappishly ; * and it be as good-looking a fave aa Lhe faces of many women who be ten yeurs younger thun | be, and 1 can tell \u2018ou that it have been thought a good-lovking {ace by scores of men in its Lime.\u2019 And horowith she bridlod conaider- ably, and drew herrelf up.* And du you rev nothing there besides your fave, then, Mrw.Trickey I\u2019 = must be tarning mazed, I think, or else it bo that you bo making à regular fool of me.Ido't see why you should make up such gummots about ray faco, whou you've aknowed it these Inst twenty years.I call it very dis respectful, that [ de.\u201d And with a flounee sud u bounce Mrs.Trickey turned and disappeared from the reom, leaving me alone with the house in the mirror, which more, certainly she had not seen.1 was musing uncomfortably on this fact, with my eyocs fixed on tho vision, which to me was as distinct as ever when the clock on the chimney-piece struck a quarter to nine.Then suddenly, us if wiped out by a spirits wing, just when the little silver chime of the clock was ringing, house, garden, sum- mer-house, moonlight, yellow gleam, vunisbed from the mirror, and I saw nething there suve tho reflection of the familiar room.It was certainly a more wonderful phenomenen than which my medical boeks and medical knowledge had taught me, und I sat up late that night thinking it over and trying vainly to account for it.As, however, I could nol gain the slightest light on the subject, turn the matlor up and down as I might in my brain, I came to a resolution on two points, and then went to bed, One of these resolves was, that I would not reveal the strange circumstance to anyone, because I had always a most hearty dislike of gossip and ridicule at my expense, and the ether was, that I would not allow the inexplicable vision ta trouble my mind, so as to make me incupable of the daily work and duty of life.My natural calmness of temperament and my active, busy course of existence, made me more able to make these determinations with seme chauce of keeping to thors than moat people in my placa.Tslopt well ibat night, and did not seo the house in the mirror once in my dreams.\u2018Next day I was sent for in haste to attend a dangerous, difficult case, which required all my sk\u2019ll and energy.By Lhe time the evening was again come, the impression made by the strange circumstances of last night bad in a great measare faded out of my mind.It so bappened that I was engaged to spend that evening with my friends, Mr.and Mrs.Woodland.Mr.Wood land was a banker, and bis wile was a spurgiing Wainan- the queen of society in eur town, Sho and I wery always close allica: she would chatter to me of all her family affairs, and in a certain way made me her confident.Qo the occasion in question | was Mr.and Mis.Woailand's only guest.The banker slambered in his arm-chair, the lady had two er three bits af gossip to tell about the neighburbood, and two or three new books to discuss with me, and a deal to say besides about the first appearance of u tooth in Miss Baby's little rosy mouth.That young heroine was brought down in state in her night-dress, and I bad to examine the prodigy with much circumstance and solemnity.Baby had retired again to the nur rery, und had ceased hor somewhat loud remonstrences with regurd to the inconveniences of being brought dewn stairs to appeur in the drawing-rogm in such a costume and at such an hour.Mrs, Woodland was standing on the hearth-rug looking in the mirror wbeu the tewn clock in the market-place bard by struck eight.I was looking at the reflection of my hostess\u2019 fuce in the mirror, and thinking that it was certainly à very pretty one, when suddenly at the sido of the lively brown eyes appeared precisely the sume house, line for line, which I bad seen in my dining-voom mirror yesterday, at tbis samo bour ; garden, pagoda-like sutnmer-house, eilvery moonlight yellow lamp-ligbt gleam\u2014ai! thore.I could not help a start and a mor mured expiession of wonder.Mry Woodland turned round quickly at the sound.* What is the matter ?' she asked in surprise.\u2018Ob, just a twinge of rheumatism in my shoulder,\u2019 ! answored curelesaiy.\u2018I caught it riding home through the storm yestorday.' ¢ Mr, Heathcote, what do you seo se wonderful in tbe looking-glas (o- night?\u2019 she asked a fow minutes after, noticing with feminine quickness the direction in which my eyes, in spite of myself, were so frequently turned, \u20181 was thinking that if I was u little handsomer man than I am, I should try to get a wife made exactly en your pattern,\u2019 I replied lightly, With these and a few more jesting words I oentrived to put Mrs.Woodland's curiosity to sleep again, while, from time, I wuiched the visionary houso.It was just as I bad expected ; when the town clock chimed a quarter to nine, it vanished exactly as it had dono on the previous nigh!.From that time forward, wherever | might Le, if [was in tbe room with a losking-glass, | naw every evening, from eight to a quarter tonive, lor the next month to come, the house in the mirror.Sumetimes it met my view \u2018Bless und suve us, Master Fred, you| WHOLE NUMBER 1986.in the tiny leoking-gluse on a cottage wall, where I was tending a poor pa tient, sometimes in the mirror of a friend's dining-room as I eat at dinoer.There was never the faintest change in the visien ; it was always maiked exactly the same features.I canmot suy but that this perpetual haunting of my life by so mysterious an apparition did make a vuguely uncemtortable and painful impression on my mind.But by strength of will, and by clinging resolutely and ceaselessly toull my active daily duties, I prevented ite having a morbid, unhealthy effect upon me.I revealed the circumstance lo no ene, but appeared to the euter world as if there was no slrange page in my commonplace story.When, however, a month er so had paseéd by, there came a great, sudden, veal sorrow, which most effectually thrast aside all inclination to broed over gloomy, shadowy, fancifal troubles.Ose morning there arrived a Ptelegram from Lecco, on the Lago \u2018Come in North Italy, saying that my sister, on her way home from India, bad fallen dangerously ill there, and ocailing me at ence to her side.I knew that Lettie had been delicato ever since ber baby was bern, and that she wus about to return to Engiand for the sako of a cooler climate and the beat medical advice.I knew, too, that she meant to return through Italy, but I was hardly aware that she had, as yet, started from Bombay, and I bad not the faintest notion that ber disoase might possibly take such a dangerous turn.Ne wonder, then, that the tidings were a severe blow.Lettio was 1ar more to me than sis ters generally are to their brothers.8he was several years younger than 1 was, and she had been first my plaything, thep wy pupil; and I had ex- periençed à pung of real jealeusy on that day when, sitling on a stoel at my feet, with her sweat face on my knees, she confessed te me that there was one who was more to her than I was, one who was more (o hor that all the world beside.This foolish feeling, of course, quickly paesed away, and I rejoiced to see her a happy bride ; yet Lottie was still my pet, my pride and my darling.I will net dwell upon the hurried Journey, With Feary sitting at my side noy the long nights and days of dreary anxious walohing, It suffices (0 say bore hut my woe\u2019 irl was, ut length, Biv4y buck to my arme, after, through long weeks, ny modical care and skill bad battled with death (gr ber.Dur ing the whule of Lhis perivd the house in the mirror never again appeared to mo, and indeed, in my abworbing anxiety and trouble, the remembrance of it even hardly enterod my mind, One lovely evening in oarly spring, wheu Lettio was much better, but not strung enough yet to be moved, I had been taking a long ramble inte Lhe \u2018lovely country which surrounds Luke Como, and en my return bad lost my way.The sun had set, (bo moon had rison, and was bathing the world in a silver sea.I had reached a poth by tho Inke, und was pausing to consider in which.direction Lecoo lay.The scene around was ull one glory ef stillness und brightness.A breeze just stirred the waters soflly with a Kiss, tho outline of the distant hills were soft aud tendor, as if drawn by an ar- tist-angel\u2019's pencil; here and there among them there was a white glim- mor which told af à hamlet er a homestead ; hard by u nigbtinguie just struck a single golden polo, awd then was silent aguin, aus it\u2019 he foared to break the calw spell of the moon.All at once I started, and a low exclamation burst frem my lips.My eyes were resting ou the surface of the lake, and there, mirrored in its clear waters, I beheld exactly the sume house and gurden which bad so often, before I left England, met my view in auch a strange, (nystoricas way.Disturbed, ustonisbed, unable to believe my own sonses, I glanced round bebind me, and there, on a litlle rising ground abuve the lake, I suw a bouse which corresponded to the reflection below, and which was, in every respect, the realization of my vision.Just then the clock of some distant cburob up among the hills struck eight, The whole circumstance and ccingi- dence was so singular that I could not help being (mprossed and startied by it, Antagonistic though my whole energetic nature was to all imaginary fears and beliefs, I uppreached the gate of the garden, and noted how in every smallest particular, oven to the star like Bowers of the cresper\u201don the wall, even to the fresco of the old woman with the basket of oranges at het feet, evon to the slightly opened window with the ray of light gliding through i, it wan the complete likeness of Lhe house which had wo often met my view in the mirrer.The very name of the villa witten over the gate Milled me with a strange, ocerie feeling.It was \u2018La Casa dello Specchio.\u2019 It had evidently been so named from the pece- liurly clear and beautiful reflection whioa it bad predaced in the watwry of the lake, ® The complex thoughts and feelings which the sight of the villa and its name called up, caused me to linger near it for some little time, until I begun to fear that my mind was going to tuke a morbid, sickly turn, and [ resolved to leave Lhe spot ut once.Just as I had turned to go, however, a gold seal, which bad belonged to my father which, therefore, was much valued by me, happened lo fail from my watoh- chain, and I spent some time in looking for it;

existence.1\" shai) da so but briefly, us thoy have been so ofion before you that you sre familiar therewith, though, it is possible some of the youngor bretheren may not be quile conversant therewith, It was fourteen years ago last October since this G.L, was formed.At that time tho Grand Lodges of England, Scotland and Canada were in possession of this territory, and hud private lodges herein.One of the fundumantgl principles enunciated at that time wgs sgrereign, independent, and exclusive jurisdiction in and over the Province of Quebec, It was the key note in our appeal for recognition to sister Grand Lodges, It wad the corner stone of our whole superstructure.Within one year from that time we were welcomed inte the sisterhood of Grand Lodges by nine Grand Bodies, stretching from Maine to Nevada, including the Pravince of Nova Scotia.During the following your thirteen mere Grand Lodges extended to us u most cordial recognition, making twenty-two in all.In 1872 the Grand Master announced ts G.L.that we were in fraternal communication with thirty-one Grand Lodges.It was during this year that the corres pondence between the G.I.of England, then presided over by His Lordship the Margin of Ripon, and our selves commenced.fn tbg month of June of (hat yeur a copy of the jore- goit g resolution was forwarded that Grand Body.On the 29th August, following, à reply was received thereto through R.W.the Hon.W.Badgley, of Moutreal, enclosing an extract from a letter regoived by him from the M.W.tho G.M.of England, The detence put forth by His Lordship gt that time on behalf of tho G.L.of England con: sisted chiefly in an uilusion {oun ggree ment entered into betwcen the G.LL.of England and G.L.of Canuda at the tims of the recognition ef the lutter by the former, pamly: \u201cThat it was agreed Lhat all such gdges as desired to remain under the English gonstitu- tion weio ut liberty to do so, and that all their rights and privileges were Lo be retained, but no othor warrunte would be issued by the G.L.of England to iodges in Canada.\u201d The au- swer to this plea is, (hab since that unfortunate article in the treaty batwcen the G.L.of Englund and the G.[L.of Canada was agreed to, British North America has undorgone radical political changes.The Province of Canada, which existed at that time und was the territory of Canada, is now no more, In its place stand the Province of Quebec and Ontairo, with separate and distinct legislative governing bodies.The lines dividing ths ssme are as the extent of transferring to this Grand and our shaves in the common fand ; Lodge all Master Masons subjoct to ber previous Lo our creation, all her lodges and it went further.1 to jariudiction became at vuce spplic- uble, and this Grand Lodge became the sole Masonio power in this Province.It was on the part of the Grand Lodge of Canada an absolute sswignment of all ber territorial rights in this Province in favor of this Grund Ledge, which thereby became seized thereof and concurrently with the applicatien of the principle befors mentioned, which at once operated in our fuvor, made this Grand Lodge the possessor of the territory of Quebec, to the exclusion of any other nic body.We thereby became de facto the poor of sister Grand Lodges, clothed with the samo power, and ing the same rights.No continuing reservation was stipulated in the act of recognition in favor of foreign lodges, and cver had there been, it is my opinion, that a0 voy nu it became apparent that such stipulation wag detrimentul to craft Masonary in the Drovinco, such foreign lodges vould be invited to withdraw, isiling whioh, resort could be \u201c-4 to tbe ususl Masonio praptices to \"dv the 0K: remedy the v.GRAND OFFICERS POR io.E.R.Johnson,
