 MR. ED1roR:-Rev B. H. Pratt, secre tary of the Connecticut Temperance Union with Rev. MT. Burleigh, employed by the society, together with the celebrated "Hutchinson Family" held Temperance Convention, on the afternoon of of Thurs day, Feb. 23,in our Congregational church and the ''Hntchinsons" gave Temper ance Concert iu the evening. Their com ing had been announced from tile pulpits and thoroughly advertised by hand -bill sent into nearly all of the families of th, town. The "Good Samaritans" have beer at work here, during the past year, ant the result was an audience of more thar five hundred at each meeting. The Tenn perance Pledge was circulated, both after noon and evening, and one hund,'ed an. ninety. sic names were added to the roll o the sosety. All good people feel that it was grand occasion, and g blessed day for the town. The audience was enthusi astic, and it was evident to all observer that the community was ready. perhaps may say ripe, for such Convention. ''-'
 I understand that Secretary Pratt in. tends thus to visit many of the towns ot our County. Permit me through your col umns to endorse the speakers and the sing CTS most cordially and earnestly. and to ex press the hope that they will find. wher ever they go, that ample preparation has been made for them. If clergymen, Sab bath school uperintendents, and the off cersi of temperance societies will make concerted action, and devote what time i. necessary to do this they will find their re- ward in it. This is by far the most attract i've form in which ever saw the subject od temperance presented. It is particularly so to the children, and it is better to keer the children in the right by making tha path pleasant to them. than to expect t reclaim them from the wrong, by and by.
