TEMPERANCE REPORT.

The Litchfed County Temperance Society met at Salisbury the 23d inst. The increase since the last meeting is niue Hundred aud serenty eight; which clearly shows that the auxiliary associations wa king up to renewed activity in the good cause. In several towns the friends of temperance meet with the most cheering The quantity of ardent spirit consumed is greatly decreased, and order, comfort and responsibility proportionably promoted. Wherev- ardent spirit is daily and habituaily used property health and character eritabiy fall bsfors ! Where ever is totally discarded, and considered it really is, "a poison" and treated such, tIe mos, ausp- cous results have succeeded. It is now past exper ment for experience has proved that in every situa lion, and under any circumstances whatever, wheh- CT in safety or in danger, in or dry, in cold or
 heat, it is far better 10 abstain entirely from ardent spirit. Those empoyments in which distilled louors were once deemed indispensable sudden chan ges from intense heat to cool air are daily experien- ced are easier performed and with less injury to the heah by the use of pure Oater. In Salisbury, there are tour blast furnaces and air furnace, each do. ing an extensive business conducted without ardent spirits Besides these, there six forges and three trip.hammer shops, where the eDeebng poison is no, used. Ninety farms cultivated without it. and eight merchants have ceased furnish t for the infatuated drinker. In Kent, furnaces conducted on the Temperance plan, and most oi the workmen in them are members of Temperance Society. la Sharon, ons furnace and several manufacturing establishments discard entirely that drink which mpars the reason, destroys the health, and ruins ihe soul.
 Tire following is lis. of the Societies represented, with the number of members belonging 10 each.

LITCHFIELD, MAY 2, 1888.

Zhs Legislature were to meet in Hartford yester- day. There having been 10 election of Governor or Lieut.. Governor by the people, the first business after the organization will of course be the choice of those officers. From what we have heard from different parts of the state, there appears he room to doubt that Mir. Edwards will supersede Gov. Peters, not wi,hstandng the latter has plurality of vOes and is, besides what every body nowadays professes ad- mire, an Old-fashiOned democral-and Mir. Edwards is-juSt what his party chooses to make him.
 For Speaker Ot the House, it is believed that Mir. Tngham or Mir. Judson will be chosen. The Message of the Governor will doubtless be received in time for our next paper.
