THE RISING SUN.

In our notice last week of the grand Tempe
rance demonstration, we inadvertently omitted to
mention the fact that the editors of The Rising
San we're "bobbin round" in our midst. This
omission is the more unaccouutable as We passed
a very pleasant day in their company> and were
highly gratifed to make the acquaintance Of the
editors of one of the hest conducted and spiciest
Of our exchanges-and one, we may add, which
is laboring gallnntly in the Temperance cause
We would gladly welcome the bachelor associate"
once more to our lovely town, and open to him
more extended Vista of the beauty Of York, when
ever he feels like exchanging the halcyon dreams
of blessed-ness, for the everyday kissitive
ness of matrimony. But we will let our Newberry
cotemperaries speak for themselves and give their
impressions of Yorkville aud the Temperance pow
wow:
"The shril whistle of the Yorkville engine call
ed US, and aboard the cars for York we WENT and
we had quite pleasant trip over one of the best
railroads in the United States-and one too out
of debt In due course of time we arrived at the
Town, the location of which we consider the pret-
test in the State. The streets are just wide
enough and not too wide. The mansions are neat
and tasteful. The gardens elegant and beautiful.
The women numerous and unsurpassable. The
hospitality of the citizens unbounded. The edu-
cational facilities superior. The Kings Mountain
hotel No. /, and Yorkvillc ..ltogethcr, the crack
village in the up country.
After mentioning the address, the procession
&c.. the San continues:
DR.. Neel, as Chaplain, closed the services by an
appropriate prayer, utter which the procession
reformed and proceeded to the dinner table, which
was situated in beautiful grove of oaks. The
scene as viewed from distance embracing as it
did, the grove with towering oaks throwing out
their branching arms, the wide range of tables,
the large number of charming ladies with pleasant
smiles and bright eyes, the Sons with their regalia,
and the citizens in general, was of the grandest
and most animated description. Taking every
thing into consideration, it was q scene that will
long be remembered for its life, vivacty and in
terest.
The dinner being ended, the band struck up its
martial strains; the procession formed and was
marched back to the Hall.
Such is one of the meetings in the history Of
the Sons of Temperance. Such the contrast with
our modern "oldcn time" By the aid of the Rail
road we assembled together in thousands, alto
gcther as neighbours. and sanctifed forkvile
neiglhorhood with the golden spirit of friendship
and fraternal charity. God grant That the spirit
NAV spread until the land shall become reformed
and revoutionized. 1t but remains for us to at
tempt faint expression of our hearty thanks for
the princey hospitality and elegant amenities
which ere every where extended to us, especial
ly to our friend Metts and his amiable lady. May
peace, prosperity and happiness attend them
through all the diversified scenes of life.
Our friends in York may expect visit shortly
from our bachelor associate. The bright eyed,
lovely beauties of York, completely captivated
him. Since his return he exclaims:
"We hope the winter of our discomfort will yet
he made glorious summer by one ofthe fair daugh-
tiers of York"
