Editor Herala An evenings entertain
ment of patriotic readings was recently
given at Town Hall by Miss Hemmen-
way, compiler of Poets and Poetry of
Vermont, and editor of the Vermont His
torical Gazetteer. She was assisted by
Rev. D. T. Taylor Of this village, and
Mrs. Hosford of Hydeville. The former
read his admirable Volunteer Prize Po-
EN-, of which favorable mention has
heretofore been made in your columns.
The latter read her song entitled Els
worth's Grave" also her production for
the prize, entitled vermont Loyal Vol
unteer." Selections We're read from war
poems, by such writer's as Bryant, Low
ell, Burleigh, Holmes, Bungay and other
celebrated poets. Biographical sketches
of leading military men, and of the Boy
Britton, or Boy Hero, as he is sometimes
called. These We're selected from the
magnificent prize volume entitled The
Military Souvenir" Poems We're also
read from our own Vermont poets, among
which was one entitled "The Heroes of
Vermont" by Capt James Hope of this
town, a competitor for the late prize
also poem for the prize, by Rev. Mr..
Ford, of Brandon. The last read was
the prize poem by Mrs. Dorr, of Rutland.
There were three competitors for the
prize from Castleton, each of which are
exceedingly good, and we hope to see
them in print.
The, readings Were enivened with
songs by the Quartette Club. Ny Ma

the community are certainly due to Mr. |
Hawley for the noble ana manly posi-

TEMPERANCE IN BURLINGTON repu-
lar meeting of the Temperance League
was held in the Baptist Church, Burling
ton, on Friday last. Judge Bennett pre-
facing them with few remarks, intro
duced the following resolutions, which
after remarks by several gentlemen,
were adopted:
Resoired, That, though we, by the third
article in our Constitution, stand
pledged to act as individuals, and in con-
cert in the public agitation of the SUBJ
Ject OF Temperance, and in securing the
enforcement of the Prohibitory Law :"
yet we repudiate the idea that this asso-
citation was formed for any other pur
pose than the laudable one of trying to
relieve this community from the alarm
ing evils of intemperance.
Resoired, That in all moral movements
union is strength; and hence the forma
ton of this society; that we may bring
into the field united moral action in
staying the torrent of this mighty evil.
Resolved, That while we, as individu-
ais, feel deeply the Importance of elect
ing men to Office, in State and Town.
who are tried men, and who will in our
opinion, best promote the public good
yet we will at all times confine the ac-
ton OF the association to the legitimate
object of its formation, to wit the pub
lie agitation of the subject of Temper
ance and the security of the enforcement
of the Prohibitory Law. ~
Mr.. Huntington said it was a mistake
to suppose the laws would not be en-,
forced, by any officer elected under them,
II the people toilled their enforcement. He
was glad the question was at last set
tied that Constable Huntington was
man, and was also glad that
those who opposed him intended to do
1t openly. 1t was very apparent what
the friends OF license system intended
to do, namely: defeat Mr.. Whitneys !
election as Commissioner, and it was for |
the friends of the Prohibftory Law to |
say whether it should be done. He men, /
TONED case which had come to his |
knowledge lately where drunkard had |

"THE GOSPEL IN EoYPT. "A correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune writes a
letter with the above heading, and gives
a somewhat extended and minute ac-
count Of preacher he met with in the
southern part Of nlinnis mr. Sc.
previous Sunday:
On that occasion his text was from
I'd Samuel, 22d chapter, 34th verse He
maketh his feet like kinds feet, and set
teth me in high places AS he could
not read very well, he had mistaken
kinds for HENS and upon this read
ing he built his discourse, going on to
show that as the feet of hens are made
to hold fast to stick or to a branch of
a tree, they sleep securely, while with
out such feet they would slip Off So it
was in Christian life the feet are faith,
the branches are the promises which
are taken hold of, and by this means the
Christian is, according to the word
set up in high places and though the
rain may fall and the wind blow, he is
safe. For more than half an hour he
enlarged on the text in this manner
while his hearers wondered at his abili-
ty to explaihFShe Scriptures"
