was only occasionally broken by the sponta-

II may be satisfactory to your commercial

II TEMPERANCE.-Thc annual meeting ofth,

evening last, when the following officers were
elected for the year ensuing:

Lord, James A. Greene.
4 After the election Of officers, the meeting
was addressed by the President, and several
Of the members Of the Society, on the subject
OF Temperance. IL was observed, among 9TH
er iorciblc remarks, that Societies formed in
the congregations of the different churches
in the town, would be found to be most sal
utary method Of promoting the causc-that
in other places this course had been success
iul above all oihers-that a large society had
been recently formed in the Methodist church,
&c. &c. These remarks struck us as being
very cogcnt, and VIC hope the example set by
the Methodist church, will be followed by the
other churches, with the same good results
1t is gratifying to perceive that the Tempe
rance reform in this town, since the organ-
2a,ion of the Newport Temperance Society.
has been steadily, and for considerable part
OF the time, rapidly progressing. The mild
and persuasive course pursued by that Socic-
ty, ms well as by the other Societies since
formed, has almost wholly done away the
pTejudlccs that formerly existed in regard to
the utility of such associations.
The Newport Temperance Society, in Oc-
tobcr, le;}3, the time Of lis organization, con-
sisted Of but 40 members. The Society now
numbers $50.
The Wesleyan Temperance Society. above
alluded to, consists Of 203 membership Of

rance Society.
The Young Mems Temperance Society at
present consists of 100 C6mombcrs-23orwi or whom
