The Christmas entertainment at the
Congregational church on Monday evening
last, was very pleasant success. Two
heavily laden trees attcstcd the interest of
many in the efforts TO make the occasion
joyful, and contribute to the happiness of a
still larger number. The other leading fea-
lures of the evening were all very pleasing
and creditabe.
The asonic festival came oil on the
evening Of the 3lst inst, according to pro-
gramme. The halls o! the lodge were
crowded with members and invited guests
An alarm Of fire occurred on Thursday
evening, Dec. 2lst, at the house of Mr.. Hop
kin,, caused by the burning out of a chin
ney. The upper part of the house was NIL
ed with smoke which was forced through
the Kinney, and gave the impression that
the fire hal been communicated 10 the
house, and As consequence mach water
was carried TO the attic and thrown through
openings in the floor, by which rooms and
furniture below were drcnched and much
damaged. The loss wa, covered by in.ur-
ance.
The people of North IIinsdale enjoyed
a very excellent gathering at their church
ON Christmas night, in which nearly every
family in that part of the town was repre-
scented. The church was well Illuminated
and tastelully trimmed with evergreens.
! On the east side was a star, in the rear of
| the pulpit cross, over the orchestra
crown, andalso at the right a crown, all sug-
gesting interesting facts in connection with
| the life and death Of our Saviour. The rec
itations were appropriate and well deliver
ed. Excellent music was furnished by the
choir, which added much to he entertain
ment. Two trees laden with Christmas
fruits were no small objects Of attraction,
which were received with many express
sions of gratitude TO the donors. The two
pastors were well remembered by their
warm friends. Rev. Mr.. DOrr and wife re-
ceived parse of IA and other tokens, for
which they are very grateful. The distri-
button of presents was followed by refresh
ments furnished by the ladies, after which
the gathering dispersed.

{. Woodhouse and W. A. Burnett of Rut-
lund j. 5. Cilley, Brandon; Col. /. f..
Knapp, Middlebury, and Mial Davis of
Burlington.
The following resolutions were adopted.
RcSOiUcd, That the present attitude of the
Temperance cause summons its friends to
renewed and diligent effort for the estab-
llshment and dissemination Of those ioun-
daton truths and principles on which alone
we can hope for the thorough reformation
of the people, and that rs the novelty and
freshness OF our work have passed by, and
the enthusiasm of our first success has sub
sided our hope must rest more than ever
on the permanent influence oil right early
training and christian instruction.
ResOit ed, That our first hope is in the fami-
Wand in the christian and temperance train
ing of the young; and we cherish the con-
hdence that Gods blessing will most rich
lV attend the endeaNOfs OF lallnlul CHRISTIAN
parents in this direction.
Resolced, That we believe the full power
of the church and ministry has never yet
been tested for the advancement Of this
cause, and we earnestly urge that these di-
vinely provided agencies be brought to the
front, and strongly and steadily pressed.
ReSOiued, That in our opinion 1t is The
duty of our legislature not only to make
good laws, but 10 provide the most efficient
means for their enforcement and we sin
cercly and earnestly request our legisla-
tors at the next session, to provide for n
State Police for the better tnforceWent OF
our criminal laws, and especially for the
more thorough suppression of the unlaw-
fu and runous traffic in intoxicating
drinks.
A resolution was also adopted to the eff
feet that it is inexpedient to form sepa-
rate temperance party in Vermont at pres
ent, but declaring anew the need Of efforts
to secure the nomination of temperance
men to Office by the existing parties, or, IN
case of failure, the running of independent
tickets which temperance men can consls'
tently support. ,
The meeting was a lively and profitable
one. and was addressed by Rev. DIR. Kitchel
Col. +. Parker and Hon. q. w: Grandey
The report of the general agent, Rev. l.. III
stone of Castleton, was read and accepted
presenting some interesting Facts, ana WI

Quite congregation met at the Bap-
tist church on Saturday evening last, to
hear Rev. Mr.. Dickinson on the temper
ance question. The cold water movement
from the clouds secured the people against
any probability of dry time, certainly.
The country people came in, the villagers
came out, the lecturer came on, and the
meeting came of all in regular order. We
meet next week with all Dover, we hope,
on the Common, Jan. 9th, to make the tenn
perancc movement as wide as the town.
The arrangements now on foot to erect
n steam saw mill and mandatory here
next spring, already stirs our Dover pulse
a little. Those mountains of forest that
loom up beyond and about u.s. offer solid
food for saw teeth and the engine fires
great avalanches of logs. On the whole
we think It has been many years since Do
yer thrilled all through with 50 bright
promise as now.

Christmas was celebrated in due form
on Monday evening, by the Congregational
Society and Sunday School, at the church.
The Christmas tree was laden with rich and
varied fruit, which was distributed before
a large audience with many good hit,
some broad hints and much good cheer.
The good deacon presented his pastor with
lantern, expressing the hope that his SER
mons would give ''more Gght," who very
appropriately responded that # his sermons
were too weighty for the deacon il was easy
to make them lighter.
The Baptist Sunday School will hold a
concert and have a supper on New Year
evening.

pHR RECORD O.v THE VILLAGE
.URETI.vG.

Elsewhere we re-publsh from the Rec
ord and Farmer of last week, an article in
reference 10 the late village meeting in
Brattleboro. So far as we are acquainted
with the facts in relation to the history and
results Of that meeting, the statements of
the Record are essentially correct That
we have in Brattleboro u secret party or
clique who control our village matters, or
that the issue presented at the late village
meeting was in any just sense contest be
tween masonry and antimasonry, are ialla-
cies patent 10 all who are knowing 10 the
circumstances. We regarded the state
ments OF our corfespondent-havin our
selves already given candid and, as we
thought, an impartial account of the meet
ing-as of too little consequence to the pub
lie TO need refutatou, and hence attempted
none but since our sapient editorial broth
or has "laid himself OUT in Il twO-coumu
article in reply to these charges and asser-
tons, we gladly give our readers the bcne-
fit of his efforts.
The Record affects surprise that the edit
or of this paper should consent to the publi-
cation Of the articles referred to. Well, per-
haps we lave IL wrong idea of the duties
and prerogatives which attach 10 a newsla-
per publisher II is our purpose and en-
deavor to issue paper that shall suit all
classes of readers. We publish journal
Tor tie people; not TO please ourselves, sim
ply. not TO pander to the taste or prejudice
of any particular party or sect and we
would not so far insult the good sense and
4
pose that they would refuse to permit one
of their fellow citizens to be heard in rela-
ton 10 affairs of public interest, even
though his understanding of matters, both
of fact and opinion, lie entirely at variance
with the views commonly entertained. As
We said, possibly we are wrong in this IDEA
OF the GIty of public journalist at least
we are led to suspect 50 by the manner in
which the Record is wont to refer TO the
members of the Antmasonic party, never
abiding to them but with sncer or in
terms of the choicest Billingsgate. For our
selves, while declining to make the PHG-
NIX their especial mouthpiece (lor the occa-
sional articles which have appeared in our
columns in exposition of their principles
and claims bear but small proportion tc
the many which we have received), or to
appear rs their apologists or champions, We
shall continue TO treat them as gentlemen.

TRAGIC AFFAIR AT EAST ARLINGTON
FIVE PERSONS SHoT.-One of the most
tragic affairs that ever took place in Yer
mont occurred ut East Arlington ON Christ

day, and after drinking heavily, had some
words with the proprietors and let, threat
Cning to return on Christmas day, and
clean out the saloon. On Monday they APP
