personal deprivation, is now in process of set.

property, in real estate, and in money boarded

claimants. The wife of Mr. Twichel, who is

sex and Worcester Temperance Union held a
large and interesting meeting at Sherburne
on the 2Sth inst, Rev. L. C. Webster of Hop
kinton presiding. The reports from the sew.
eral towns were for the most part of an en-
couraging character. The question whether
atemperance man could consistently grow or
sell fruits, for the manufacture of cider or do
mestlc wines for his own consumption, or for
the use of the community as beverage, was
discussed at length, and decided in the mega.
tive. The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we have learned with great pleas
ure of the recent return of John B. Cough to this
country of his adoption, after successful advocacy
OF the temperance reform in Great Britain and
that as fellow workers with him in this good cause
we welcome him once more among u.s. with unabat-
ed confidence in his firm, eloquent and effective aid
IN advancing this reform to still needed victims
The next meeting will be held in Saxon
VILE on the 18th of September.

Brown deposited with him and that he never

formed that the Committee did not care about
