For the Chronicle
Temperance Movement.

At the yearly session of the Grand
Lodge of L. o. G. T.'s for North Amer
lea, held at the City of Detroit, last
May, on motion of the Rev. Russell.
of that City, the annexed Preamble
and Resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Temperance Reform
is pre-eminently q moral movement,
authorized by the plainest teachings of
Holy Scripture, and a large proportion
of Christian people feels lively interest
in IFS success, and, whereas, like every
other effort of g similar character, it
requires nor than human wisdom for
its proper direction ; therefore,
RESOLVED, That Thursday, the 18th
day Of Oct der next, be set apart as q
day of huI niliation, fasting and prayer,
for the sr-ecial blessing and guidance
of Almighty God in this great work.
Resolved 4, That we respectfully re-
quest all Christian Ministers and
Churchf s 10 unite in the proper obser-
tof the day, by assembling at
their VI iual places of worship, and en-
gazing in Divine service as may seem
TO thel n most conducive TO the spiritu-
al desI .gn of the occasion
Eve ,ry good man, and well wisher of
his race, will say, "Let it be done"
and so say we.
Mr.. Editor, permit a suggestion: 1t
not being practicable to devote the
day, as above limited, let each Parson
in the city and country, bring this mat
ter before his Thursday evening pray
er meeting on the 18th instant, and
direct attention in this direction. 1t
win do his people good to pray for the
success of the Temperance cause. in
our midst and throughout the
WORLD.

The New York Superintendent Of the Insu-

Its income for the year ending January lst.,
1867. was over two millions eight hundred and
fifty thousand dollars: it paid for losses to the
amount of SIS 4.+9,0. in the same period and
dividends to the amount Of 100000, leaving as
sets on hand of s.. 6l5 .3S8 81. and this too. in one
OF the most calamitous years in the history of
FIRE insurance. While many Fire Insurance

withered and broken down beneath this fiery
dispensation, the HOM comes out unscathed
with its regal capital of two million dollars IN
