TEMPERANCE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
The meeting at Chapin's Hall last evening
was quite largely attended, but not so fully
as it should have been. We are sure the
want Of larger attendance is not due to the
want of sympathy for the Temperance
cause on the part of our community. The
audience present wero much delighted and
inspired by tho noble sentiments expressed
by the different speakers present. 1t was
like the joys of the newly converted to hear
the manly high-souIed truths Of Temper
ance uttered as fearIessIy as they were.
The gentlemen who addressed the meeting
were General Cary, Rev. John NJ. Cramp, of
Nova Scotia Rev. Archibald Duff, Canada
East Hon. Charles Young, Prince Edwaris
Island, and Hon. S. L. Tilley, of New BruDs-
wick.
