The subjects presented for discussion en-
braced, :" The Prohibitory Law" " New
and Varied Forms Of Intoxicating liq-
uors," " Importance of discussion and in
formation among the people, especially the
young" " Fundamental Importance of the
Pledge" and 1.-The Pledge ought TO in

Rev. w. W. Winchester as chairman
of the committee, introduced each subject
with brief remarks calculated to draw out
discussion. Among those participating
were, Rev DIR. Kitchel, Mr.. Gross, S. b.
Rockwell, Rev. NJ L.. Severance, Rev.
Mr.. Gardner, Rev. H. +. Leavitt, Shell
don Smith, Prosper Elitharp, Mr.. Bristol,
Samuel James, l.. f. Knapp. We were
especially interested in the remarks of
Mr.. Elitharp. The question came up
whether the much advertised bitters were
properly to be ranked with intoxicating
liquors, and whether they were used to
any extent as beverages. 1t was gencr-
ally thought they were. 1t is probable
that investigation will be made and full
proofs brought out at the next meeting
At Al O'Clock Mr.. Rockwell was called
out to read poem which he had recently
written on the subject of " The Reformed

experiences of drunkard in deliriam ire
mems and his ultimate reform-a passage
from real life. Our space does not adj

given to our readers next week
After the poem, the audience almost
unanimously expressed, by a rising vote,
their approval Of pledge of total absti-
hence from all intoxicating liquors, inclu-
ing wine and cider. By vote the mat
ter of calling the next meeting was left
to the discretion Of the Executive Com
