Mr.. Perkins, speaking of the lodge, said |
that although it was smaller as to numbers, |
yet there was never time when the men, |
bers were more firmly united and deter |
mined in their purpose. There was strength |
in the union of the lodge, which could not |
be overcome; and they would take any
stand in favor of temperance, whenever it |
was thought to be for the highest good of |
the community.

GREENSBORO.
Early in the evening of Monday. 10Th
inst, a company of nearly 100 of the
younger married people, and the young
men and maidens of the parish, assembled
at the house Of John A. Goss, and after
preliminary organization, proceeded, under
the lead Of the Caspian Lake Band, to the
congregational parsonage and spent an
hour or more in pleasant chat and congrat-
ulations. DR.. Goodall in behalf of the
company presented to the pastor, Rev. A.
w. Wild, a roll of currency as a token of
personal regard, and recognition of Provi-
dence in continuing his relation to them.
The Band closed the interview by playing
that sweetest of all airs, Sweet Home"
and the company retired. The cash am
ounted to S45, for which, and for the graft
| flying expression Of esteem, none can feel
more grateful than those upon whom they
were bestowed.
No doubt that those who read our report
Of the doings of the council last week, in
Greensboro, were surprised to learn that it
was +. P. Wild that asked for dismission,
instead Of A. W. Wild, who did ask for it.
1t was our mistake.
