Temperance in Ohio.

The Rev. J. M. Driver, of Toledo, Ohio, writes as follows to the Central Christian Advocate:-
“Our city election has just passed, and the result is such as to cause rejoicing among the temperance people. It was a square fight, the tickets being headed: ‘For License’ and ‘Against License.’ There was considerable uneasiness on the part of the temperance people, but it was all dissipated when the result of the election was made known. More than three to one had voted against license. There is not a saloon in this county. Every town in the county is almost unanimously opposed to the licensing of saloons. It is a rare thing to see a man under the influence of liquor. Our county jail is tenantless, and paupers are scarce. Peace, and order, and morality prevail. A magnificent brick school-building is just completed.”
