all. 1t is more than its publisher ha
determir ed, but it seems as though the
severe blow it has recently received would
prove fatal. Only strenuous effort on the
part of its friends will save it. Should
its decease occur, its patrons will be sup

LEIcEsTER.-The Good Templars OF
Lodge No. 1913, held their first anniversary
entertainment at the church in Leicester,
Dec. Tth. The evening being favorable,
the house was filled to overfowing; the
exercises commencing at $50 and closing
at 1890. The good attention by the audi.
ence clearly proves the general report
when the people Of Leicester undertake to
get up public entertainment they never
fail. The careful and appropriate selection
Of pieces, the clear and perfect manner OF
execution by all who participated In the
exercises clearly indicates progression.
