A splendid oyster supper was gotten
up last Friday evening at East Middle
bury, under the auspices of the Lodge OF
Good Femplars at that place. 1t was a
fine affair. Soup, toasts and speeches
ruled the hours, and all were very much
pleased with the entertainments The lodge
numbers 20 members, and is composed OF
sterling men and women, who hate rum
selling and wine drinking, visiting with
their anathenas the violator of law who
sells rum, and extending their sympathies
to the poor unfortunate victim of strong
drink. May Heaven bless such men and
women. They are an honor to the race,
and a blessing to the world. From such
sources spring the nobler impulses of our
being, to bless poor fallen humanity, and
prepare it for further grace and finish
akin to that of Heaven. While the vicious
and the vile curse, by precept and example,
the human family, be it ours, by precept
and example, to elevate, ennoble and dig
nifty man, and fit him for glorious exist
ence beyond the grave.
