sunday Evening Temperance Meeting

Las; Sunday evening, though very inauspi-
cious. brought hair attendance To our tenn
perance meeting. Mr.. Lull presided. The
meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. Mr..
Wright.
Judge Chase, Mr.. MeDOnald Rev. Mr.. Stone
and Mr., Ferrin were among the speakers
Mr.. Chase traced the progress Of the temper
snce movement from its origin to the present
time He believed the law could be enforced,
for beside having right on our side, We had the
State, our county, and finally, Montpelier
lie urged the signing of the pledge, and show
ed the superior strength Of written pledge to
simple resolution.
Mr. Mcdonald, by telling story illustrated
the power Of plodgos-that pledge of total
abstinence, with pledge to serve and trust in
God, were sure to save any who had the strength
to take them.
Mr. Stone related an Interesting incident
that came under his own observation, showing
the effect ofintemperance on a man of such
splendid physique and Websterian head as to
impress one by his grand presence as a superior
/ being. This man had the advantage of wealth,
too, but he sacrificed all. There was nothing
bat the wreck TO hint at what mi ht have been.
| Mr.. Stone believed in moral suasion, as il
was generally understood, and nore-that the
law with all its penalties, belonged to, and
was part Of moral suasion-the influence all
bearing in the same direction. In the moral
as well rs in the natural world, penalties are
the dues of broken laws, and the speedier then
exaction, the more eiectual the lesson. He
exhortcd men To show little more "pluck, -
and not leave the laborng oar to the ladies.
Mr.. Perrin brought the financial reason for
ward in a very formidable array showing why
law should be supported-the cost to our Stat,
of running the judiciary department being
Sl30, 900 annually. Half Of this sum is OK
pended in criminal jurisprudence. Inquiry
into causes show that Intoxicating drink is th,
principal source from which so much crim'
and litigation come. Then the costs Of prisons
iails and pauperism-the aforesaid cause bear
ing the same proportion. TO this all /, add tn
money expended for the beveage--as it bring
no good hut a harvest of evils--and we, tn
State Of Vermont, have hundreds Of thousand
of taxes every year to pay 10 rum, and hundred
of thousands worse than thrown away for rum
bes ides the crime, misery and death that ar
the natural consequence Of Rum.
Mr. Lull suggested that it would be inter
esting if any one could show cause why thes
. things were not soto come forward and max
! out case as defendant in these accusation
!. against rum.

The Connecticut Election.

The result of this election has proved, as We
feared it would, that the disgraceful fight be-
tween the New Haven and Hartford Republi
cans, has been carried into this canvass, anC
has soured just enough voters to throw, will
the aid of temperance ticket, the election o
Governor into the hands of the Democrats. =
The delegation in Congress remains as before
three Republicans to one Democrat We thinl
we may safely say that the reelection of Gen
Joe IIawley as Congressman is glory enough
for one election, and we willingly concede t,
the Democrats the barren victory Of the Gov
ernorship, as an Offset for not disturbing tn,
Republican supremacy in the Congressiona
delegation.

MARROW EscAPE.-Mr. Charles O. Davis, a
Montpelier boy, son Of Mr. X. I. Davis, had a
narrow escape from death while on hunting
and trapping excursion in Idaho Territory last
February. In the course Of their wanderings
they came upon hut, which had no roof nor
doors, and here they staid over night. While
lerc terrible storm came up, and they were
buried some two feet deep in the snow, where
they remained thirty.six hours. The snow was
Us hard as sand, bat 1t protected them from
the terrible cold weather, and from the wolves,
who were eager for feast Of human flesh
The wind was so cold that no one could face it
ten minutes without freezing. After the storm
was over, they could hardly move for three days,
but they finally got back home, feeling quite
well except for sore ears and fingers.

Portland and Ogdensburg RaIlroad.

The Vermont division of the Portland and
Ogdensburg link is making an honorable rec
ord Of progress for itself. Sixty miles are in
operation. -Four miles additional are ironed
Four very important charters were secured
from the legislature at its late session, Ia fur
therance Of the interests Of the line. The ex-
tension to Burlington was one Of these. An
other takes the road across the outlet Of Lake
Chnmplan to junction with the western di
vision Of the through line. Another secure
an optional route to Montreal via the southeast
counties railroad, Not single connection
has been missed by the trains this winter, and
that, too, although eighteen inches Of snow
fell in one storm, upon n great depth preyi 'us
ly received. Construction Is now going Or
eastward toward the Connecticut river. West
ward tho road. it Is expected, will be pushed
through to Lake Champhin this season, Thu
eastern division is fortunate in having co
worker that carries on its part of the under
taking with so much yiror.
