W.F.BEYER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, PUNYSUTAWNKY, PA. (MDoe two doors east of the Poet Office. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb., 18.—John B. Ooogh, tbe eloquent temperance lecturer, died nt 4:40 this afternoon at the resideuoa of Dr. R. Brace Burnt, in Frankford, where he was taken on Monday night when stricken with paralysis, while lecturing at the Frankfort Presbyterian Chuch. His wife was at his bedside when he died It was recalled to-day that tbe last words spoken by Mr. Oough were:—"Young man make your record clean." The body will be embalmed, and, after services at the house, will be taken to Worcester, Maes, to-morrow evening. The immediate cause of death was the rapture of a blood-vessel, which pressed upon the left side of the brain. Mr. Gough's last words were spoken on the lecture platform last Monday. "I," said he, "have seen years in the record of my own life when I was held in the iron grasp of intemperance. I would give the world to blot it out, but, alas, I cannot." Stepping forward with an impressive gesture, the lecturer said, "Therefore, young men, make your reoord—He failed to finish the sentence, but sank helplesslv into a chair from which he was never able to rise. John B. Qough was born at Saudgate, Kent, England, in 1817. His father was a pensioner of the Peninsular war and hit mother was a village schoollmistress. At the age of 12 he went to America as an apprentice and worked on a farm in Oneida county, N. Y. In 1831 he went to New York city, where he found employment in the binding department of the Methodist Book establishment, but his habltsof dissipation lost him this employment and reduced hiiu to that of giving recitations and singing comic songs at low grog-shops. He was married iu 1839, but his drunken habits reduced him to poverty and delirium tremens, and probably caused the death of his wife and child. A benevolent Quaker induced him to take the pledge, and he attended temperance meetings, relating his experience with such effect as to influence others. In 1842 he had a short relapse into drunkenness, but an eloquent confession restored him to favor and he lectured at various places in America with great success. In 1853 ne was engaged by the London Temperance League to lecture two years in the United Kingdom, where he drew large crowds by his earnest, and, by turns, amusing and pathetic oratious. To few men is the cause of temperauce more indebted than to Mr. Gongh. His labors have been constant and fruitful in the large field. Clergy and Press. TYR, YfU.

Tho prisoners were taken ontsido where ;c crowd of farmers had gathered. A rush was at once made for the thieves, tho purpose being to lynch them. However, the determined attitude of the o&UNtablo and his men compelled tho attacking party to retire. At night the village lockup at Indepeudauoe was surrounded by an armed mob,demanding that tho prisoners bo given, up. They had been hurried off to Cleveland,, however, and after searching the prison tho won ld-be lynchers dispersed. Ci.kvklaND, February 20.—For two year9 the faruiersjust beyond the southern limits of Clevoland have been systematically robbed of farm articles and stock. Horses, cattle wagons and harness have mysteriously disappeared, until the victims were reduced to a pitch of wrath that boded ill for tho criminals if caught. Suspicion finally rested on William and George Ilryant,colored, and John Kelly, white. Yesterday their Bhanties under the hill at the village of Independence were raided and the occupautB caught in the midst of their i 11 gotten possessions. Dr. R. M. Hatfield objected to the impudence of the newspapers. He suggested that a reporter be received politely, offered a cup of tea and politely dismissed. If a servant girl shows weakness and and allows herself te be tampered with laughter], Is that any reasou why tho papers should spread the disgusting facts broadcast! [Groat and prolonged applause.] Mr. C. N. Zimmerman thought that the newspapers exerted a noble, a grand influence on the public. No blatherskite could pursue au ignoble calling without being exposed. Chicago, Feb. 16. —The Methodist ministers of the city met yesterday to discuss the "Moral Influence of Secular Journalism." Dr. Brushingham said :—"Let one clergyman in a thousand become a Judas and a hundred times more space would be devoted to his misdeeds thau to the good works of the other 991). The storekeeper might as well display beside his stock of groceries all the vile and filthy objects known to the contraband drug trade. The sickening developements of a breach of promise caso are given 'three-line heads,' and embellished with wood outs, accompanied by two or three columns of reading matter, while the report of some great moral movement is'cut down' to a'stick to make room for the more sonsational ease."
