The series of public temperance meetings
proposed to be held in this city was handsome
ly inaugurated last evening at City Hall. The
attendance was quite large, both the floor and
the galleries being we'll filled by an attentive
audience, including many ladies'. The meet
ing was called to order by Thomas Pennell,
Esq, County Treasurer, who nominated DR..
William H. True as chairman and Royal w.
Lincoln and Osgood Bradbury, Esq, as Secre-
taries. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Eaton
OF Cape Elizabeth, after which song in praise
ofcold water was sung by trio composed of
Messrs. Shaw, Thurston and Munroe, which
was excellent and ELECTED an encore.
The meeting was then addressed oy Rev. Mr.,
Snow of Westbrook, Rev. W. T. Elton of
Cape Elizabeth snd Rev. j. M. Palmer of Port
land, in effective as well as interesting re-
marks, urging various arguments in favor of
total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors,
ana suggesting means best adopted for the sup
preston OF the sale and use of them in this
community.
A good interest pervaded the meeting and it
may be pronounced a successful one. The
speeches we're well calculated to interest the
audience AMI the music was excellent, all the
temperance songs sung by the trio being en-
cored. 1t was the first appearance of Mr..
Muntoe as public singer here, and he did it
with good effect. He possesses a nobe tenor
voice.
second meeting will soon be held, of which
due notice will be given to the public through
