From the Caledonian,

On visiting some of our friends among the
Green Mountains, we made it in our way to spend
the Sabbath at Montpelier. Our small party be-
ing pledged to the temperance cause, we thought
proper to stop at the Temperance House, kept
by Col. Abel Carter. On arriving at the door we
were promptly met by both landlord and oster
In moment we found ourselvs in pleasant and
comfortable situation, and our horses were mme-
dately taken from the pelting storm to warm
and convenient stable. During our stay at that
place we were accommodated with warm rooms
and every other thing that reasonable people could
wish. We have therefore come to the conclusion
that we will regard resolution that was passed
at the annual meeting of the Young Mems Ten
perance Society held in this town on the LIST day
of the present month, viz Resolved, That we APP
prove of well conducted Temperance Houses, and
consider it our duty to sustain them as far as is
in our power, by our patronage and influence.
