TEMPERANCE NOTICE.

The Ltchfied County Temperance Society met at CoIebrook on the fourth Tuesday in July, and had most interested and spirited meeting. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 ResOlUed That the pledge of the Litchfield County Temperance Societies and its auxaries does not in any way manner warrant the trafficking in ardent spirits; and that any such traffic on the part of mem- bers is opposed to the principles and violation of the pledge adopted by the County and auxiliary societies. ResOlUed, That the prosperity of the temperance cause demands the practice of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks on the part of it's friends and that it be recommended to the auxilares of this Soc ety to adopt such measures they shall deem exped ent to promote this practice.
 The discussion of these resolutions and finished and wellwritten gospel address, occupied the whole time of the meeting, when the Society adjourned to meet at the Congregational Church in Winsted the fourth Tuesday in August. Meeting for business at 10 o'clock A. M.

 0drA friend at our elbow wishes us to make the suggestion-and think it pertinent one-what has become of the Litcfeld Tig,lant Society? Such so ciety was organized few years ago. officers chosen and funds to the amount of fifty dollars or more raised and provision made that annual meetings be there after held for the choice of officers and the transaction of other business. Have such meetings been held and the officers appointed, or have the funds been appro priated or expended? We ask for the information for others well as ourselves. Luckily there has been hitherto but little occasion for the operations of said society; but circumstances may arise to call forth their usefulness and exertions.
 "1s it not strange how much pains some creatures take to make d-d fools of themselves2" observed leading Van Buren man in one of the northwest towns of this county to of whig friends few days since. "Why, what is the matter now what has led you to such a remark ?'' asked our friend- "What is the matter!'' echoes the former, why the fact s have just received copy of the paper con- tanng the latter part of young Cotton Smith sspeech and he makes such contemptbe fool of himself that it makes out of all manner of patience Just step into the house and look at it, and you do not agree with me, will give up all claims to democracy."- Our whg friend took mp the paper read few lines, skinned over a few more and threw the paper from him with almost much loathing as his Van Buren neighbor.
