f,t. and we will arrange them for the paper.
TEVrERANcE.-Tbe Hall was again filled
Sunday evening, for the most part by an au-
jleace manifesting a respectful interest in
tbe exercises of the meeting, but we are
sorry to record that a number of boys and
older persons. near the doors, greatly annoy
81 those who desired to hear the remarks of
the speakers, by talking and other noises,
which detracted much from the pleasure of
the hour.
Nr. George Parmenter occupied the chair
AMI ter defining his own position Oh the
question Of temperance, which position we
are ,llI to say is the right one, solicited good
words from any who might have them to
rive. Responses came from DR.. Brigham
Dr. H. c. Lull and Rev. II. A. Spencer.
Social invitations brought out Rev. J. W.
l.. Cyxe, a s.ran5 ger and Mr.. Dan. Wooster.
Dr. Brigham called attention to the an
Dyuaccment from the chair, of the annual
meeting Of the Citizens Library and Read
In--rjom Association, hoping there would be
Nd !tck OF interest or attendance at the meet
in.-considering it an out-growth of the
elrcr efforts Of this temperance m ovement,
and one of the b-st helps to self-improvement
fur our young people, we had ever instituted
in Montpelier.
Rev. Mr.. Coke presented the state of the
temperance cause with US, as he had learned
il from st the papers - and also from - a
paper he had been reading, all of which
we take to be our village news papers. That
the accounts were conflicting -somewha
lldicrously so we presume none will dis
Pute.
Bat o. going over the ground and ar
raisning the chief eulprit (the liquor raffc)
fr trial, summing up all testimony, Mr..
CJxe asked the now pertinent question
What shall we do with it and answered
We will fight it out on this line this
same line Of enforcement of prohi5itory law.
Rev. Mr. Spencer desired to say that if
asked what he would do with the culprit =
lis answer would be, " would send him t.
BIackwelI's Island shave his head and ar
raw him in regulation robes, like any othe
feIon."
Mr.. Lull wished to know if the speake
would have the suit made of-Tweed.
\ gentleman present from New York
Mr.. Wood-was called for. and spoke for {
few moments to the entertainment of all
but particularly advising young men to alb
stain from all use Of intoxicating beverages
and other expensive and harmful indulgen
ces. All these, he thought stood very mucs
in the way of early marriages and pleasan
homes. which, we infer, he considered SHOULD
be a prominent objec: of every young man
ambition.
Mr.. Wooster followed speaking very ser
ously Of the same view Of the subject-th
cxpensiyencs5, in dollars and cents, of drink
ing habits-and also of the greater cost
the cost in tears. in agonies, in want an
dcstitution and often in life itself.
Notice was given that an address is expect
ed next Sunday evening from Rev Joh
Russell of Michigan.
