GOOD EXAMPLES.

The Chicago and Northwestern and the Southern Minnesota railroads are entitled not only to a vote of thanks, but also the liberal patronage of all temperance-loving people, for the noble action recorded below. The Chicago and Northwestern road, which embraces under one management 2,158 miles of road, forming eight distinct trunk lines, has adopted a rule requiring a written pledge of every employe to abstain from using intoxicating drink or even ale, beer, and wine, and to keep out of all places where such drinks are sold, and also to refrain from profane and abusive language. And one of the rules on the Southern Minnesota railroad, according to their new time card, we are informed, is as follows:—

“No person will be employed in any department who uses intoxicating liquor. A known violation of this rule will be followed by immediate and final dismissal.”
