The annual session of the Good Templars, which was opened at Gloucester recently, had a special significance imparted to it by the elaborate calculations in respect to con- sumption of intoxicating drinks by the nation which have been lately made. These statistics, which have been drawn out by Mr. William Hoyle, not only show what the drinking account of the people has amounted to during the past year, but for several years previously. It certainly fur- nishes a subject tor reflection to learn that the consumption of alcoholic drinks during 188l, as calculated from recent Government returns. amounted to more than one hundred and twenty-six millions and a quarter sterling. But this sum, immense though it is, does not equal that returned for the preceding year There has been, in fact, a As Isa, - a ,,A,.A rei‘tnue, while it materially adds to the ex- penditure of parochial bodies. The Good Templars have. according to the reports presented at the recent session. ninety. three thousand members who are adults and fifty thousand children. The ell‘ewt of the movement which has 130 long. been going on ;great diminution oi late in the amount of intoxicanta drunk by the people, and it would be unjust to refuse to give credit to the Good Template and a kindred asso- ciation for the im roved state of things in this respect. Wor ing men spend too much of their hard earnings in self-indulgence of the kind which no largely increases the ret‘tnue, while it materially adds to the ex- can hardly be appreciated Tram merenfig- urea, for the influence exercised by this great army of teetotallers, must be felt by those persons who are not actually members of the society. Of course we do not per- ceive the desirability of everybody becoming total ubstaiuers from all kinds of stimulating drinks. But it cannot be doubted that it is much better for tho drunknrd and everyone dependent upon him, to drink water throughout the remainder of his existence than to destroy his own constitution and Running is well adapted to young and middle aged persons, but not to thou: who are fat. Sedeutary persons may find great benefit in it alter the day's work is ended. If they live in cities, a quiet spot in the park may be selected. and ex ort trials adapted to the strength entered into. lnvallds may do the same thing. only they must be more careful than the robust newer over-exert themselves. Girls may run as well as boys, and, while they cannot go so fast, they can race much more gracefully and beautifully. In- deed, there can be few more attractive sights than that of a race between beautiful girls from ten to twelve years of age. After puberty. the change in the formation of the bcnes of the pelvis in girls renders running less easy and graceful. In ancient Greece girls were trained‘to ruu_ races. as well as boys, and to their superb physical culture was in great part due the grandeur and beauty of Greek life (lurin the years of their ascendancy. The m ern style of dress for girls after puberty is also entirely unsuited to runningâ€"Herald of Health. U Care must be taken not to overdo, and than perhaps for life. weaken or injure the heart. The race. at first, should be short and frequently repeated, rather than long, and full speed should not be attempted for some time. The clothing 'shonld be light, the head care, and the neck uncovered. As soon as the exercise is finished, warm clothing should be put on and gentle exercises con- tinued for some time. It is not necessary t) have a race course. The teacher of a school may take his pupils into the fields and find suitable ground lor them. Then his pupils may exczcise their bodies in other ways, acquire strength, agility, health, and the capacity of continued exertion ; the will is brought into play vigorously, which is a great aid in the battle of life. Running sliould only. be practised in cool weather ; as, for instance, in the late fall, wigter, z_md_ {early _spri_u_; pxothgx. Ronning was so highly esteemed by the old Greeks, that Home.- observed that no man could acquire greater fame than by being strong in his hands, feet, and limbs ; Plato recommends running, not only to boys and girls, but to men ; Seneca, who expresses strong disapprobstion of athletics. recommends running to Lucilius for exercise. The following rules may be observegl : may he made very beneficial to the lungs, and perhaps there is nothing better cal- culated to strengthen these organs, in those who are shortwinde I, than gradual, careful training in this almost lost art. “ As soon as children are expert in walking, turning, and the like,” says the sagacions Frank, “run- ning races under proper precautions is an excellent exercise for them.” The principal objects of this exercise are to strengthen the limbs, develop the lungs, exercise the will, and promote the circulation of the hlood._ - Negroes and Indians in a state of nature run daily in pursuit of game for food with a facility at which we are astonished, but they are not more liable‘to consumption on this account than those beasts that are so famed for swiftness. The body of no animal seems better adapted to running than man’s. The nobler parts, which might be injured by an immoderate reflux of blood, are up permost, and the laws of gravitation assist in propelling the runner forward. He has little to do but to strengthen his limbs by practice and concentrate his mind on the efl‘ort, and there is nothing severe in this. as experience has shown.‘ indeed! running destroy their aptitude for it; in a little time. it is too often the case that the city boy scarcely dares look as if he wished to run, we prohibit it so stronqu as vulgar, and when he is more grown up gentility steps in and prohibits it altogether. Medical pre- judices and our own convenience contribute likewise their share,and neverallow our child. ren boys and girls, toacquire an art innocent of itself and necessary to all. [t is poasib e that a person may get injury from running, but the fault is not in the exercise. but in the person who runs wlthout having had proper training _an(_i_ practice. Among the means which nature has be- stowed on animals in genenl for the pre- servution and enjoyment of life. running, says Mercurialis. is the most important. Since,filen. it. is pointed out to us by mture, it must be in a high degree Innocent. It is ver singular that we should apparent. ly do I we canâ€"which, fortunntcly, is not muchâ€"to make our children unlearn the m of running.

B‘ Cohen, a merchant in Madison, has been found in u profuse perspiration in the earlv morning, with a print of a leg on either side, as if he had been ridden bare-backed. The stable is locked at night. and the horse is in his stable at daylight every morning, but for the past few mornings he is panting as if he had just retumed from a long jaunt, and is wholly unfit for service during the entire day. The more ignorant are much agitated over the matter, contending that witches visit his stable. â€"â€"â€"oo $-50.»â€" Quoer ln‘eets eta Lightning Bolt.
