Mr.. EplroR:--Your suggestion Of the
necessity Of a temperance organization in
the county, which you made in your last
issue. has met with mnch favor nong the
temperance people of this town. p.
1t is matter Of no little Importance
for the prosperity of the temperance cause
in our county. that We should have a
thorough temperance man for County Com
missioner. f...5. an:
If the temperance people of this coun-
ty would meet in your town, and dcterm-
inc what course would be the best to pur'
pose to endcavor to elect temperance
commissioner. | think it would be con-
ducive CT great good.
The meeting cannot be called toosoon. as
time will be necessary to accomplish much.
The people in this town arc getting
walked up in temperance matters. and |
have no doubt but that Temperance can
lijate for County Commissioner. would
receive handsome majority, over rum
candidate. ..s
A Temperance society has been formed
here, and some 70 or so persons have
signed the pledge" We are sanguinc
that this society will do much good, al.
though rum men predict for US an inglo-
iious defeat ...... ...... ... ..#

spectable citizens are engaged in this tenn

u,Ir nrFoRm SCHOOL.

The Commissioners have selected Water
bury as the location of the school, and
have purchased there for sixty five acres OF
the Gov. Butler farm west Of the village
with the houses thereon. It's described
to Us as very fine farm-nothing inner
in the State for its size, -and every way
suitable for its purpose. The number OF
acres named was all that could be Pur-
oh ased for the amount (S6.OOO) appro-
priated for that purpose by the Leg'sla-
ture. The commissioners have, however,
secured from. the owner, a son OF Gov.
Butler,t the right to an additional quantity
of land adjoining. if it shall be needed
and the Legislature shall authorize its
purchase. ..l-. +. E.m et r.
I Rev. A. L. Pcase of the commission. 10
recent article in the Chronicle, announ-

reference TO the school. He states that
they intend first to begin small" even

the necessity for it shall be developed.

more imposing than a substantial. neat

as he enquiries for the State Reform
School.
Third, to make the school as much like
a family and as little like prison. as
possible; to make il if possible home
from which the children shall not wish
to run away. while not neglecting addi
tional needful securities to make Educa
tion leadi G idea as means and as an
element of improvement and reform to
have the beat of matrons, the best Of
toachers, the best of books, the best Of
methods. the best of improvements in tho
art of teaching. d.. .... a.
Finally the Commissioners propose tc
have better farm than is owned by any
other reform school in New Engllnd, and
to make farming the principal occupation
of the boys. -.. .. s.a.e. .afH.
We cannot see why the commissioner
have not done wisely in their selection Of
a place for the school, At Waterbury il
will be central, accessible, not too much
isolated, and yet sufficiently retired. and
in wholesome community. The projec,
is in good hands
In its success the whole state has deep
concern and we shall watch its progress

10 this day, there has been no response

that the life of the thing is not extinct

where it should exhibit healthy and
vigorous growth, and may not be able to
