Ma. EDIToR. 1t will doubdess be gratifying to the friends of temperance in other parts of the county hear of it's success in this town. On last Wednes- day evening pursuant to public notice, large num- Der of Ladies and Gentlemen convened at the Court House for the purpose of hearing Mir SYMEs' lecture on the subject of Temperance. The lecturer WIS one of naturss orators, and the in which he delivered his interesting address will not soon be forgotten by delighted audience. On the occasion referred to, several ladies and gentlemen volunteer cd soacs as chOristers. It would be impossible to convey any idea of the manner in which they per formed their duty.
 On Sabbath evening, another meeting was held at the same place; and respectable in numbers the meeting of Wednesday evening was, this far surpas- sed it. The Court House was crowded to excess, and the exemplary order preserved answers for the character of the audience. The lecturer, MT CRoEr, wildly portrayed the evils of ntemperance; and as he recounted his own sad experience, many gn eye was wet with the tear of sympathy. He was followed by that veteran in the good cause, MT s. S. PATTERSON. To say that the audience was de- lighted, would convey but faint conception ofthe nteres, he excited. At the conclusion of the seve- Yal addresses the audience testified their appreciation by tremendous applause. May God speed the good cause. SoBRIETY.
