and the street and ally adjacent were crowded
full of Irish who listened attentvely to his
plain, com uon sense arguments, and frequent
ly interrupted the speaker with applause The
boys occasionally grew FESTIVE, but he quoted
them with good stories, which put them and
their seniors in good humor. He recommended

an Irish Temperance Association. He promis-
ed to get priest to come and address them and
encourage them to become total abstainers. Mr.,
