Ma EDIroR There was meet.

at the Catholic church of Mt. Hone
on last Thursday, March 6, for the
purpose of organizing Temperance

the evils of intemperauce. His APP
peal was not ia vain. A NUMBER of
young men stepped forward, took
the total abstinence pledge, and be-
gan the work of organization. Prin-
ciples were then set forth, rules for
the guidance of memb ers drawn up
aud adopted, officers elected, the So
olety started, and every one present
felt happy at the result. The fol-
lowing is the list Of officers elected

s~The Lsrten season is now full
upon US. The Bishop has en-
joined upon his people to consider
and make proper use of the privil-
eyes of the season to attend every
service the church may provide; to
abstain from parties, places Of
amusements, festivities; from novel
reading and other light literature
to pruue the table as far as po1s biz
of luxaries The people in turn re-
spect the injunction as their own
feelings dictate. The faithful few
attend reIigiously all the services.
They linger 10 the shadow OF the
ancient ssceticism, and forego such
fashionable foliies as seem the most
out of keeping with the Holy Sea
son"-dancing aud the wearing OF
ornaments or gay apparel, or the
attendance upon theater or opera.

GREAT THAw.-.The thaw Of last
week was the cause Of high freshets
upon all the streams. and travel was
impeded in every direction. The
Platte and Grant rivers overlooked
their bottom lands, and poured tor
rents Of ice and water across the
road, that prevented all crossing for
a time. Mr. Chas Potter, Of Platte
vile tried to cross the 2 ate river
at Ellenboro. but the cakes Of ice
that swept his buggy around made it
necessary to jump into the stream
and free his horse from the buggy,
in order TO save the animal. He got
out safe by holding on to his horse
but the buggy, robes, and other ar
ticles went on toward the Gulf Of
Mexico. The bridges all stood the
test we'll, owing to their height and
the thoroughness Of those who plan
