prayer by Rev. o. Smith, and some very

which the congregation marched to the

Vegetation is suffering in consequence
of the warm, dry weather, and also for the
want of rain.
Rev. j. Ii. Willis has closed his labors
with the Universalist society in this place.
and at present the desk is not supplied.
We hear it said that on Monday of this
week the thermometer rose to 90 in the
shade in this place. The warmest day here
this spring.
The Universalist society have com
menced repairing their church. The con-
templated repairs, including what is to be
expended upon the inside, are estimated to
cost between 800 and $500.
Some of our young men organized a
brass band few weeks since, and having
learned a few pieces came out upon our
streets for the first time on Saturday even
ing last, and played for an hour or so to the
graf ficaton of our citizens. We did not
expect of them such music as band that
has had years of practice and experience

say that considering the lack of an expert
enced teacher, and the short time they have
been practicing, they have made good pro-
gress-they did well.

burned and broke, and the carriage fell in
to the shaft. The engineer could then
stand it no longer; his arms were severely
burned and it was with the utmost dinicul-

time the breaker and engine house were
one mass of fire. and nv a o'clock the burn-
ing debris covered the ground. Thousands
of people had now repaired to the scene.
Fire engines were telegmphed for. and
men with buckets brought water from the
Susauehanna river, half mile distant. 4
line of 500 was formed, who passed buckets
from one to another, and water was finally
passed in to the shaft, out of which dense
black smoke continually issued, Shortly

formances Of the hand engines, j. Estey &

gave an exhibition Of its powers which was
very gratifying. Refreshments were fur
nished at the several enginc-houses for the
members Of the department, and about 6

exercises Of the day having been concluded.
NO accident occurred to mar the occasion,
ana the proceedings were characterized by
good order and entire success.
NO SECRET SOCIETIES.
"A meeting was held in Crosby's Hall
on Saturday, May 9th, which elected a del
egate to the convention to be held at Wor-
cester Mass, on the 9TH Of June, in oppo-
sition to secret oath-bound societies. The
meeting was organized by electing Gen. J.
w. Phelps, president, and Royal @. Wood,
secretary. Addresses were made by Mr..
Wood, Il. G. Crosby and Gen. Phelps, and
the latter gentleman was chosen delegate.
After a satisfactory session of some two
hours duration, the meeting adjourned to
meet again at hali-past | o'clock p. NJ, on
the 18th of June, at Crosby's Hall, when
report will be expected from the delegate
of the proceedings of the convention. All
are invited to attend, without distinction of
sect or "Order.' The attendance was not
numerous, many who favor the cause be-
ing busy elsewhere, but among those pres
ent it was gratifying to see at least one of
the old guard of 1881, Mr.. Robert Goode-
nough, who took an active interest in the
conflict of those days, and who is ready to
renew it with the same spirit in 1871. Forty
ye9rs have elapsed since Vermont cast her
electoral vote solid against masonry. Dur
ing that time the attention of the nation has
been so much directed against slavery that
secret societies have had n favorable oppor-
tunity to revive and become stronger than
ever. Is ii a source OF regret to any, that
now that slavery is defeated, a move should
be made in Vermont among the foremost
to renew the war upon that other greater
danger to our libcrties-secret, oath bound
association? In order to give force to our
national, republican laws against kuklux-
ism, is it not necessary that we of the north
should set the example by first Kidding
ourselves of secret societies? An opportu-
nifty will he given to the friends Of the
cause TO discuss these questions, and others
too, at the next meeting. Don't forget its
date, June IL, 1871. at Crosbv's Hall, at half
| past o'clock l.. ". CON-.
