By reference to the proceedings Of the State
Temperance Convention, published in our pa
per Of this week,it will be seen that the services
of SAMUEL CHIpMAN have been secured TO
lecture on Temperance Mr.. G. delivered two
lectures, on Sunday and Monday evenings last,
in this village. He has been employed for a
number of years past by the New York State
Temperance Society, in visiting all the poor
houses, prisons &C., in the state, to learn the
relative proportion of pauperism, crime and
death produced by intemperance. The result
of his iabors is truly surprising, and we hope
that all who have the opportunity OF hearing
him will improve it. The subject of prohibit
ing the traffic in ardent spirits is an important
question, and all the information respecting it,
should be brought to bear upon it.-.Mess.
