Our Premiums. —In announcing our Premi¬ 
ums, two weeks ago, the names of two or 
three gentlemen entitled, wero unintention¬ 
ally omitted. II. T. Kennedy, Esq., of Onon¬ 
daga county, should have been mentioned as 
obtaining 100 subscribers, and entitled to $5; 
C. Stkkktek, of Kent county, Mich., 80 sub¬ 
scribers, which entitles him to $5, instead of 
$3; and A. Smith, of Yates county, 71 sub¬ 
scribers— S3. Although these names would 
throw out the two last in our regular list, 
we shall pay to the latter as announced, in 
order that there may he no dissatisfaction. 
gfpOur Township Premiums (see last week’s 
Rural for particulars,) do not appear to excite 
much attention. However, as we intend to 
award them, we trust there will be sufficient 
interest manifested to enlist the proper num¬ 
ber of competitors to receive the premiums ! 
The Temperance Bill. 
The Temperance Bill, which has been post¬ 
poned from time to time in the Assembly, final¬ 
ly passed the third reading last week Wednes¬ 
day. It came up at twelve o’clock by special 
assignment, and a very spirited debate ensued; 
the minority resorting to all kinds of tactics 
in order to prolong the controversy beyond 
the regular hour of adjournment, (2 o’clock,) 
in which case the bill would have to go over. 
But before the hour of two arrived, the debate 
was closed, and the clerk commenced reading 
the bill. ’Plie clock striking during the time 
of reading, the minority insisted upon an ad¬ 
journment, which the Speaker overruled, on 
the ground that, having commenced reading, 
no adjournment could take place until the 
vote was taken. 
We append the ayes and nays on its final 
passage, in order that each of our readers may 
see how his own representative voted :

This temperance bill is one of the most vital¬ 
ly important ever passed in our State ; and if 
it goes successfully through tho remaining 
stages of legislation, as it probably will, we 
may expect to see its enforcement resisted by 
every means within the power of those men 
whose income depends upon the manufacture 
and sale of intoxicating drinks. The whole¬ 
sale trade is enormous, especially in New York 
city, the great importing depot for the United 
States ; and the retail trade also, both there 
and elsewhere, is enough, one would think, to 
Bink the State to perdition. It is a conceded 
fact that at least three-quarters of all the pau¬ 
perism, misery and crime is directly or indi¬ 
rectly chargeable to intemperance ; and any 
means which can be made availble to stay the 
desolating scourge, ought at once to be adopt¬ 
ed. The efficiency of a prohibitory law in 
bringing about so desirable a result, has been 
doubted by many ; but its endorsement by at 
least half a dozen States, and the efforts mak¬ 
ing to obtain it in others, are cogent argu¬ 
ments in its favor.
