donna County Temperance Society, came
off last Thursday, and was success in
every respect The morning was some
what rainy and threatening, but the day
proved all that could be desired. The
train from the north was long. and filed
to repletion. Many came from as far north
as Newport. Two long trains came from
the south, and from the surrounding
country teams poured in until noon. The
number assembled was several thousand
more than could gather within the
sound of the voice of any speaker. The
eminent gentlemen from abroad who had
been announced as speakers, were pres
ent, and nobody could have been disap-
pointed as to the character of the speak
ing. DR.. Pierce Of Boston, DR.. Eggleston
of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Judge Taylor
of Ohio, each delighted the assembly by
plain, of-hand speeches that were full
of wit, sense and eloquence. Other
speakers, including Col. Meade of Ran
dolph. Mr. Cushing of Burke, MIR. Til
lotson and Col. Frank Fairbanks of St.
Johnsbury. each occupied the time allot-
ted them in a manner very acceptable
to their hearers. There was nothing
dull. nothing ordinary in the speaking.
The St. Johnsbury Band furnished mu-
sic, and the audience attested It's appre-
citation Of the quality of the music, by
raising a sum considerably in excess of
that stipulated as their price for attend
ing the gathering. None of the speak
ers asked remuneration for their servie-
es, but they received hearty applause,
and the public thanks of the assembly
for their efforts Several Sabbath schools
were there as organizations, with ban
ners and notices. Prominent among
these were those from Sutton, Sheffield,
and Barton. Sutton was literally the
ssbanner" town, both in point of num-
bers, and in profusion of banners. The
superintendent of the Passumpsic and
/ p & O. railroads were thanked for their
courtesy IN granting tickets at so low a
rate, and for furnishing so good eonven-
fences for attending the gathering The
thanks of all present should be given to
the officers Of the Temperance Society
and to Rev. H P. Gushing, for having
provided one of the best intellectual and
social entertainments ever held at Lyn.
