Temperance Meeting.

We hear OF temperance meetings at st
Jonsbury, McTndoe Falls, South Roy
Hubbsrdtou, Poultney and Bennington
all fully attended-some on Sabbath even
inga and Others on week day evenings
addressed by our State agent, Rev. L. II
Stone
Contributions in most OF these several
places have been made, and both the spir'
it and amount indicate deeper feeling In
behalf of the cause than has prevailed for
wears. This is as it should be. Increas-
ing light BON the various and enormous
evils of intemperance should stimulate
to corresponding efforts for its suppress
sion, and something besides sermons and
addresses is needful in order to desirable
success. Money and work must be given,
and freely given, if 1--WE would show our
faith by our works" Agricultural, edu-
cational and religious interest, all require
the payment or disbursement of money
Thus it is, also, with temperance, which
the apostle names as one of "the fruits OF
the spirit" and he adds, against such
there is no law" But have we of sRut.
land been solicited for contributions to
this cause? We suppose not. West
Rutland was, some time since, and they
did well, varying in in sums from one to
twenty-five dollars. A word to the wise
is sufficient Rutland will be neither
slow nor small when called upon and We
hope it may be soon.

The Montvert Hotel.
MIDDLETowN, August 1.

MIDDLETowN, August 1.
The Montvert Hotel, at this place, is to
be opened for guests on the Sth of August.
The people of the town and viciaity are
highly pleased with this announcement,
and SO will doubtless be the public gen.
orally. The medicinal waters of the
Middletown Springs have created de-
mand for entertainment here which the
citizens have been unable to supply. The
Hotel company have secured Mr.. Edward
Rickcords as "mine host" of the hotel,
who has had over twenty years experience
in first class hotels in Buffalo and New
York city. He has been some days at
Middletown experimenting the prepare
tions to the opening of the hotel. The
hotel building is new, just completed, and
is, perhaps, the most convenient and best
arranged hotel in the country. A splen-
did assortment of furniture has been pur-
chased in Boston, has arrived in Middle
town, large portion of it put in place,
and the remainder soon will be.
We, of Middletown, are interested in
the success of this hotel enterprise, and,
therefore, may be said to be partial; our
opinion nevertheless is that no more fav-
orable or attractive place can be found to
spend the summer months. The hotel
and its furnishings certainly are not ex-
celled anywhere, nor are the surroundings.
The scenery in and about Middletown is
admired by every person of good taste
who looks upon it. Ell.

the most experienced, successful and widely

insist upon the closest economy and honesty in
the administration of its affairs.
The managers of the Road have themselves in
