TEMPERANCE LECruRE-Mr George
Nj. butcher of Worcester, Mass, the
popular temperance lecturer, will give an
address an the subject Of temperance at
the Methodist church in this village, on
Friday evening Of this week. Mr. butcher
comes well and we anticipate
full house to hear him. The lecture is
to commence at 7 o'clock. The Rutland
Herald says of his lecture there Sunday
evening: "Mr' butcher is an earnest,
self-sacrifcing laborer in the cause of tenn
perance. He evidently knows what he is
talking about, and draws many forcible
illustrations Of the evils of intempcrance
from his own experience. We wish there
were more man with Mr.. Butchers ear
nestness engaged in this good work, as the
enemy to be combatted is strongly entren-
ched behind the selfish interests of the rum
seller and the depraved appetites of the
drinker that the most persistent efforts Of
legions Of the strongest hearts will be res
quired to dslodge him from hi, seat of
power. "
