ST. ALBANs, W., March 20, 1874
The week opened with q warm, pleasant,
spring-like aspect, which has continued up
to the present writing, delightlng the hearts
Of mankind, filling the minds of woman
kind with visions of spring bonnets, and
causing the maple tree to give forth its sac
charipe juices.
Events have not been many or startling.
The woman's temperance movement has
kept up with apparently undated interest,
and something has been accomplished
toward the practical suppression of the
liquor traffic The moral influence of the
movement may, and we trust will, be pro-
ductive Of much genuine and lasting good,
and we hope is one of the forces which,
working together, will bring about some
change in the absurd and ineffective liquor
laws of this state. Unless this is done we
cannot see the possibility even of any
radical and cfrectual temperance reform
The class which suffers most and is in jurcd
most by the sale of intoXicants is class
which can't be reached by moral suaslon or
by stopping the traffic in wines or liquors
in respectable drug stores and hotels Il
must be reached by the arm of the law,
which at present is powerless to effect any
permanent change or improvement.
We CHANGED few days since to take
passage on the train for Richford, and at a
way station had the pleasure Of an aces
sion to the number of passengers in the
shape of fond couple, newly very newly
joined together in welded bliss. They
seemed to be in every way models of de
voton and hymenia bliss. Arrived at our
destination, they repaired to the best hotel,
