to make thc state Temperance Convention
sustain their opinions and adopt their policy.
So far as we have had opportunity to learn
the sentiments Of the intelligent and long
tried friends of Temperance in the State
there has brcn expressed a very general feel

en- hy the State Convention ut Mortified.
w, -ivyc hot the slightest belief that the
Resolution adopted there, and which has pro-
duccd va much discussion and excitement
since, in that ncighhorhood, meets with the
approval Of more than very small part Of
the temperance people in Vermont. tnior-
tuuatcly FOR the cause there are some men in
the State, who seem bent upon making ii
procure for them office or Fame, or both, and
hence the noisy defamation and bitter de-
uuciuion which are here and there heard
whenever their measures are opposed or even

Now is the time for those who intend 10 do
anything At Gardening the present season to
be at work. We have been glad to see here
aud there in our village lately indications
that more attention is being bestowed upon
this branch of home industry, and source Of
home comfort than has been customary here
tofore. There is, however, still ample room
and a demand for more labor in this dirco-
ton. a family without a garden ought TO
be an anomaly anywhere outside ofihc crowd
ed city, and would be if parents realized
how good a school for their boys small

we suggest to such as have never tried the
experiment that they give a small corner Of
the Garden TO each one to cultivate on his

we mistake not, little time devoted each
day to planting, watering, dressing and watch
ing few plants-and flowers, will do more
towards making an industrious, kind, mel.

any amount Of talking, scolding, or even

TEMPERANCE MELTING AT BRAbFORp DR.
l.. W. Bliss, Of this village, delivered lecture
"a, the Town He'll on the 96ttI utt,, on the cf
fccts Of spirituous liquors upon the human
system. The position taken was, that alcohol
operates dclcleriauAly Upon the system by
virtue Of its great affinity for water, and its
power Of rUqEut-riUg utttumCu.- VithuU atc0hot

with water which enters largely into the COM
position Of the blood. 1t may be stated that
alhumcn exists in the blood in a solution, and
tina, the alcohol evenly distributed through
the whole mass Of blood, causes it to change
from a fluid to scmi-nuid state, and that
when so changed it could not be-bcncfcial to
the system, but had to be thrown Off as a
foreign substance. It was also stated that
alcohol had no place or business in the sy,-
ten, and that when used as a remedy it only
produced one evil to prevent auothcrs
The lecturer distinctly said that inscnsi-
bility and dclorium were caused by compreS.
sion upon the brain from fluids eiIused from
the blood vessels during the process which
nature employs to rid itself of the coagulatcd

research, from the scientific manner in which
the Doctor disclosed the evils of alcohol up
