TEMPERANCE MEETlNo.-A union meeting
for the consideration and promotion of the
cause Of temperance, under the rather impos-
ing nomenclature Of EoangclicaI AHiance, was
held at the Presbyterian church, on the even
ing of Friday last. The attendance was slim,
and the enthusiasm such as might be expected.
The Pastors of the Presbyterian, Congrega-
tional and Baptist churches were present, and
made addresses Dr. Eames presented the
following resolutions, which were adopted
without dissent, and the Doctor supported his
resolutions by an earnest appeal for action upon
the subject. The following are the resou-
tions
Resolrcd, That we recognize in the Temper
ance cause, one of the great inslrumcnlaliiies
for furthering the cause of morality, virtue
and true religion in any community.
Res0tUed, That II is the duty Of all Churches
to act on this subject not only in an individual
but also in AN organized capacity, that they
may make use Of all possible means of awaken
ing and cnlightcung the young, ON this inn
portant subject
ResotUed, That this Evangelical Alliance
will hold quarterly meetings TO further this
object
Res0tccd That Committee of four be APP
pointed which shall be called the Executive
Temperance Committee of this Aianc whose
duty 1t shall be to secure speakers, ana make
such other arrangements as they may deem
necessary to promote the Temperance Cause.
THE CONCERT GIVEN by TIE BAND, on
Thursday evening of last week, was tolerably
well attended and the receipts were something
more than the expenses-the amount being
some $30--yet falling far below their needs, as
considerable Indebtedness has been incurred
in procuring the services of Mr.. Crowther,new
music, &c. Being thus left in debt or rather,
perhaps compelled to advance from their prl-
vatc purses TO meet such obligation, the effect
is little discouraging and having an unfavor-
able influence upon the organization. Our
citizens, of course have learned ere this that
to keep W II will sc band, is attended with ex-
pense, and if the pleasures and advantages of
such an institution in our midst is an equiva-
lent, of which, perhaps there is little question,
an occasional contribution will he found ne
cessary 10 keep up its life, efficiency and i'm
provement. Our band was perhaps never SO
well trained as now, and SO capable of afford
ing enjoyment TO the lovers of music, and
little encouragement in the way limited, to lift
it out of debt, it would seem would be in or
der, and noting more perhaps than is due.
In view of the erection of the stand upon the
green for the present season, and its use and
occupancy during the pleasant evenings of
summer, the idea of little timely help gathers
force.
GONDTCTOR no t1-
king to himself a wife, and received from the
company, in view of his long fidelity to their
interes S, and the Importance of the occasion,
a six weeks furough and exemption fro m du-
ty, and passes for trip to the Pacific coast
The union was with Mrs. MARY K ELDRIDGE,
of Cleveland, and took place on the Goth inst.
Fred" is one of the best and most popular
conductors on the Lake Shore line, and his
many friends and acquaintences, will send after
him in his distant journcyings, their kindest
wishes for present and future enjoyment. 1t
was an inadveytence, no doubt on the part of
our co-laborer, in failing of an alusion to Mr..
F. III. Kelly while speaking of the conductors
of the Lake Shore.
KELLoGGsvILLE-JAcK SHAVE has entered
upon lne uullcS Oh Landlord, at the stand late
ny bought by him of SIMEON KEITH, and our
friend Sim has become citizen of Ashtabu-
la, having taken the place reccasly vacated by
Mrs. Fuller. The cheese factory is under way,
and the farmers in the ncighborhood are emp
tying their big cans Of the lacteal fluid into
The factory vats, making little activity and
stir about that quiet hamlet. While receiving
DR.. lloLBRooKs application the other day,
as Physician and Surgeon for his special, or
license 'or another year, he informed us that
he had been resident of that place for forty
five years, having come into the country the
same year with DR.. FARRINGToN, with whose
family he had been on terms of acquaintance
When he moved into Kelloggsv;le, that
place was then larger than Ashtabu!a. While
DR.. HoLBRooK feels the weight years in such
degree as rather TO wish to retire from prac-
tice, Dr. FARRINGToN, though over 20 years
preserves in an unusual degree, his physical
vigor and activity and makes his rounds either
in sulky or upon the saddle, with evident
ease and enjoyment.
