TEMPERANCE MEETING.-A very
good audience assembled at the Congre-
gational Church on Sunday evening to
hear temperance lecture from Col. AK
tell. The lecturer, however, did not APP
pear, and up to this time we are not
aware that any reason for his absence
has been received. We learn that this
same lecturer has had three different
appointments to lecture at Windsor, and
that he failed to come every time. He
was also announced 10 lecture at Sax
tons River last Saturday evening but
did not come. 1t would seem therefore
that it is about time to know whether
this man is in the habit of keeping his
engagements in this mann r, or whether
others make these appointments for him,
without knowing whether he could or
would keep them.
AT the meeting above mentioned it
was decided to 60 ON and hold meet
ing and accordingly Rev. Mr.. Taplin
was called to the chair, and short and
very excellent addresses were made By
Rev. Messrs. Taplin, Hamlin, and Has
kins. The last named gentlemen not
only portrayed the evils of intoxicating
liquors, but boldly assailed the use of
tobacco in manner which would have
delighted Trask himself The meeting
was certainly success and at the close
it was voted to appoint committee to
report an organization for temperance
society, at meeting to be held on Mon
day evening next. The committee are
P. NJ. Frost, A. S. Clark and A. NJ Ken
dali. Another temperance, meeting is to
be held on Sunday evening the 18th
inst, of which notice will be given here
after.
P.S. Since the above was in type we
learn that Col. Axtell missed the train
at Pittsford last Saturday.

THE LAws.-By an accident we give
Pr readers this week a double dose of
lpe laws. Not expecting to receive sup
Eements containing them we had all
pt four columns of them set in our
Fn type when they came to hand. Our
Faders will therefore get them all this
EEK. Among them are at least a few
Fs which all should read, especially
(Teral school laws, the acts relating to
sorce, families Of insane persons, re-

Arrest and Escape of Handlon.
ESCAPE Ole DEvoE ALSO

Just after we went to press last week,
we learned that Detective Squires
of Claremont, N. III. had arrestl the no.
torious Tim Handlon and had him safely
lodged in Jail at Newport N. II. He
found him at Croydon N. III. where he
was at work for farmer making cider.
After his arrest he owned up to all the
burglaries with which he was known to
have been connected about here, and sew
eral more elsewhere. He had worked
at Croydon but few weeks, and had
previously been at Bradford n. II. where
he worked for man from whom he stole
watch and money and then left. In
his confession he also gave an account of
some of the property he had stolen,
among which was a valuable overcoat
stolen from Mr.. Amadon of this place.
Mr. Squires also took from him gold
chain which he stole from Mr.. Robert
son at Putney with gold watch which
may be recovered hereafter.
On Sunday last. news came here that
on the night previous, Handlon broke
jail at Newport and with Devoe, one of
his gang arrested some weeks since, and
horse thief made their escape together,
going south. Word was sent to Mr..
Squires at Claremont who again started
in pursuit of the game he had already
once caught. He traced them to Mon.
tague. Mass, since which we have heard
nothing from him. 1t appears that he
had outside help in breaking out of Jail
and that he was furnished with team to
travel with. We are also informed that
he used coal from the fire in his cell with
which he burned the wall of the Jail till
| the stone cracked, and with an iron bar
furnished him from outside, soon pried a
hole through which he and his confe9er-
ates escaped. We hear also on Wednes-
day that son of the jailor has been ar.
rested charged with having aided the
escape, having been bribed with $780,
That there is deep vein of unmitigat,
ed rascality connected with Handlon
and his confederates, admits of no Goubt
and the people in this valley ought tc
be alive to the desperate characters who
threaten them, and take vigorous meas
ures for their own protection.

CHEsrER.-A dramatic exhibition
will be given at Ingraham House Hall,
Chester, on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of next week, for the benefit of
St. Luke's Episcopal Church. An at
tractive programme is offered and the
well known enterprise of Chester in such
things can hardly fail to attract good
house.
The new, st. Luke's Church, is so far
completed that dedicatory services are
expected to take place in it on the 10Th
inst. The style of architecture is Ameri-
can Gothic. The body of the house is
40 by 80 feet; height from floor to apex
of roof AZ feet height of tower so feet;
chancel IS feet square. The interior
finish of the edifce is chestnut and the
style is Gothic Arches with chaste and
elaborate tracery work. The chancel is
furnished with rich carved chestnut fur
niture and an ornameated chancel rail.
The carpenter work is in the hands Of
w. McIntire and Charles Hawkins both
skilliul workmen and builders, and the
wall finish is by Messrs. Blood and HUI
lett and surpasses anything of the kind
ever executed in this place. The arch
portion of the ceiling is pleasing shade
of blue, producing with the light drab
| of the side walls and the dark wood work
of the arches delightful blending. The
architect of this church is Mr.. William
Pitt Wentworth of Boston, whose skill
and natural genius for such work we
mentioned few weeks since, and whose
reputation as an architect for either pub
lie or private buildings is we'll establish.
