Mg" AS we anticipated, the meeting
at temperance Hall on Thursday eve
ming last was more than usually inter-
esting-made SO by well'timed, elo-
qucnt and forcible address from II. I.
Martin, Esq, which received the ready
compliment of unanimous vote of
thanks from his hearers. If the sug-
gestions of the speaker are needed, as
they should be, Increased interest will
be taken by the friends of temperance
in the prosecution of the good cause in
this community, ".a Va y.
In announcing the speaker, in our
last weeks paper, we stated that he
was to be q gentleman of the Bar, who
had figured here in the lowest degrade
ton Of drunkenness This was 1use
Of our own to excite curiosity, toward
the Division--to get out a full house
that was all ! Asto the drunkenness
OF tic speaker, We are very happy to
add now, that it was only assumed to
enable him to fill the principal charac-
ter in the "Drama of the Drunkard, -
performed before delighted audiences
at Court House Hall, two years ago.
We make this explanation as due to all
parties. We didn't say, and nobody
could get us to, that the speaker had
) ever been drunk Although he does
practice at the Bar, he is at the same
time sedatc and exemplary Son Of
temperance.
