COMING GRAND RALLY OF TEMPERANCE
NEN-The Expected 'BIeSsiag'' from the CifJ.f
Bro'fbsrly All the tempera nee orders in th,.
District, and the well wishers of the cause GEN
orally, are eagerly looking forward 10 the iith
of May, when grand demonstration will take
place IN compliment 10 hundreds of visitors
from Philadelphia, who have arranged for an
excursion here on that day under the auspices
of the fourishing and influential order known
as " he Philadelphia Temperance Blessing
The arrangements for their reception were in
itiafed week or two ago by Pioneer Council
Sons OF Jonadab, and a committee, consisting
OF Nessrs. Young, Mills, Holloway, Hauptman
Reed, Williams, POlkinhorn. Bawsel. Norton
and Gill, was appointed to take the matter in
hand. This committee went theoretically to
Work, appointed sub committees on programme
music, speaking, &c, and at their meeting last
evening felt encouraged with bright hopes of
making the proposed rally decided success.
Few gentlemen we're present from other tenn
peraDce organizations, and fully approved what
has been done. 1t is expected that at the next
meeting of the committee all temperance So
cletles in the District will be represented
so that the views of all may be con-
suited before final arrangements are made
Mr. james L. Williams, secretary of the com
mittee. has addressed circular letter of invita-
ton to every temperance order i'll the district
asking cooperation in the movement, and many
favorable responses have been received. 1t is
intended, we believe, to marshal the forces Of
temperance on the day appointed, viz: Nav
18th, at about 4.30 p. M, and with banners
music. &c, proceed TO the depot to meet the
vlslioTs from Philadelphia, who will be escorted
to their quarters at the EDbtt house. and after
short stop for refreshments, thence to Foun
dry Church, which has been secured for a
roCsing meeting, where will be heard some OF
the finest Temperance talking listened to for
many day back in Washington. AS the large
church will doubtless be jammed, seats will be
assigned specially for the families of members
of the temperance orders. The programme for
the following day will be arranged to suit the
views of tie Philadelphians. A visit to the
veteran Home Division, S. OF II. has been suS-
gested, and a trip to Mount Vernon is among
the possibilities. Some OF the visitors are
expected to remain in the city several days.
