especially if they live in the country.
The very fact of a donation visit is
recognition of an obligation on the part
of a society of just claim unsatisfied
but it is sneaking way Of fulfilling that
obligation, and the time is coming when
it will be SO acknowledged universally.
1t is placing the man to whom you are
paying a just due, in the unjust light of
the receiver of favor, which is always
annoying, and often repuguant to sensl-
tive man. Why will not religious socie-
ties come up to the work, and in these
days of high prices, increase their minis
ters' salaries permanently, and in proper
tion with the unusual rise in all prices ?
1t would be much more creditable than
the donation visits on which so many
societies pride themselves, and which they
so like to see noticed" in the papers,

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

We notice, with no little satisfaction,
a disposition in all parts of the state, by
moral and law abiding citizens, to give
unusual attention to the subject of tenn
perance. Numerous voluntary associa-
tons are formed, which, apparently, have
a purpose and are successful in bringing
out the latent moral power of the commu-
nifty. Prosecutions for violation of the
Prohibitory law are frequent, and fines
imposed are heavy. Some offenders FORE
see the evil and prudently take themselves
out Of the way of danger, and some yield
gracefully to moral influence.
We would not however be understood to
affirm that radical and general reforma-
ton has been accomplished-only enough
to show what can be done, and easily
done, if the moral and legal force of the
state is properly brought to bear. For
many years selling and rum, drinking
has not been so prevalent and bold as now,
and the growing evil is in every eye that
can see, and occasionally the results are
absolutely startling to all who have any
moral consciousness left.
The bold raid on the Prohibitory law,
made in the legislature last fall, has done
not little to arouse the public the &C.
ton of the State Temperance Society, at
its annual meeting, did good, and the re-
sultant action in various quarters is every
day becoming more obvions. We trust it
will continue till no one can honestly
question the value of the law; but its
friends may be assured that unless it is
made more effective for years to come
than in years past it will not be suffered
to remain on the statute book.
The friends of the law seem to be more
thoroughly awake in Burlington than any
where else and have succeeded without
difficulty in suppressing the open sale-a
thing not difficult to do anywhere where
moral ability is not wanting. The oppo-
nents of the law there take. issue with its
friends by nominating a commissioner of
of their views, and the quarrel is to be
tried, hilt to hilt, in Chittenden County,
at the town meetings. We wish it could
be freely and openly inaugurate in every
county in the state.-Middlebuyy Reg
lister.

TEMPERANCE IN MONTPELIER.

There was a largely attended meeting
of Temperance Daguers on Friday eve-
ming last. Walton's Daily says it mani
Tested determined spirit to prosecute
the objects of its organization and bids
fair to speedily accomplish its purpose.
The Committee appointed to wait upon
the leading liquor dealers in this place
and inform them of the determination Of
Of the influential and law-abiding Of
Montpelier that this death dealing traffic
should and would be utterly suppressed,
by mild persuasive measures if possible,
and by imperative means if it became
necessary, reported that they had visited
said firms, as directed, and in every in.
STAGE after candid and thorough discus
sion Of the matter received an unquali-
fed pledge on the part of these men that
they would entirely and forerer abandon
that branch of their business and
acquiesce with the wishes of the town.
Lamoille newsdealer. [volume] (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1860-1877, 1864-02-24

In fact, one Of the firms was completely
in advance of the Committee having vol
unfairly stopped the trade two weeks pre-
vious to their visit, while another house
was overcome with the clear, frank and
courteous manner in which they were ap-
preached, and declared that never before
had they been addressed in such kind
spirit on this subject.
With the exception of few petty
groceries which are to receive immediate
attention, our village is redeemed, and we
trust is no longer to be reproach to our
people. 1t is gratifying to see citizens
rise up en- masse and declare to King AL
cohol " thus far shalt thou go ard no far
ther,"
Tt is hardly to be expected that SO ex-
tensive an evil is to be brought entirely
into submission in one day or one week
even, yet with the mouths of the leading
dens closed, and the determination of our
people, backed up by the enthusiasm and
countenance it receives, the highest hopes
of this organization can but be accom-
plished.

WESTERN WEATHER.

I. H. Haseltine, formerly of this town,
writing from Aurora, ILL.,, on the 18th
inst, after speaking of the late severe
weather, says;
1884, after a months effort has sue
ceeded in putting things to rights, so
that now we do not see any trace of his
cruel predecessor except an occasional
snow bank in some shaded place such as
you have the first of May,-in fact, our
weather now is very much like the last of
April in Vermont. We expect colder
weather, however, for no birds have come
to us.yet. The great objection to living
here would be the changeableness of the
weather. It's inconsistency is contagious,
for we often find the inhabitants shaking
with the cold (agu0 in the warmest sea-
son."

NRoM THE VERMONT CAVALRY.

An officer, we'll known to our readers,
writing from the LIST Vermont Cavalry,
under date of Feb. IA, substanciates pre-
vious reports concerning the influx of reb-
Ell deserters, and says:
During the last three days ten rebel
deserters, and noble looking men, Zone of
them being an orderly sergio all from the
18th Louisiana regiment were received by
the Vermont cavalry picket line. They
state that they shook hands with their
captain before they left, informing each
other that they hoped to meet "when this
cruel war is over" they also stated that
the whole brigade would follow as soon
as they had an opportunity; they have
been DESERVING all winter in the same pro-
portion. l presume you have had reports
of this kind before, but these are facts.
The rebels are loosing more men from de-
sertions every day than they can conscript
if they take the remainder of them that
are one hundred years old, and the rest
that are not born. think with that ex-
ception there is no hope for the South,
and mindful of that, l believe, Just as
honestly as believe the SIM will rise and
set tomorrow, that in 1865, Jan. 1st
there will be no such thing as rebellion
in the United States Of America
We have received new recruits to fill
our regiment to maximum number, 1850
men, and they are now engaged in drill
ing. I am very happy to say that better
men never stood in the ranks, than the
last four hundred that joined the regi-
ment. Wherever we strike next summer
tyranny will tremble. - Wahon's Daily.

ton, done exclusively with pen. When
finished it was enclosed in heavy orna-
mental and costly gilt frame, exhibited
