To Temperance Men,

Temperance Society have received the
important information that six hundred OF
our friends Of Windsor County have IL
nled their Subscriptions TO establish pa
per devoted to Temperance, under The ed
ilorship of Mr. M p, Parish Esq; and
that about five hundred dollars, additional
10 the subscriptions, have been pledged as
guaranty for It's ample support by The
community. This noble beginning ia
that County is viewed as a hopclai indi-
Gallon that the grand measures SO long
sought after and, more than once altemdt-
ed in vain, oftte establishment OF an io-
dependent press tor the promotion of our
cause, is on the eve OF cousummallon.
We do therefore propose to our friends
in other Counties, and urge i, upon all
who teel with US iN tbis matter TO atcome
subscribers ios the paper. ttpfomiscs to
be a sheet Of general utlNy for excellent
literary and practical reading, indepen~
IDENTIFY Of its grand moral and reIormatory
purpose, The Subscription price {one
dollar on receipt Of the FIRST number} is, ia
ou7 opiaion quite too low fer a sheet Of
the size aud qualify promised, unIess IN
der an oboundng patronage. In every
village and district there ought 10 be a,
least cue OF two, who. il addition 10 their
individual subscriptions will attend care
fully 70 the ii ling up and forwarding Of "a
considerable Iist. Take this notice. we
say 10 any Jealous. energetic friend. use it,
as your credentials, il you feel the need OF
any. and forward, promptly, your list TO
The Elitor, a, Woodstock.
TAKE THIS NOTICE, we reiterale 20

this benehcent cause, and use it, if need
be as credentials, But what need Of cre-

be verified ia sight Of the tippers them>
