TEMPERANCE IN VERMONT.-The cru
SADIE against rum moves in all parts of
the country, and makes steady progress.
though of course in places it meets with
rcverses. To those who know that the
work of removing intemperance is to be Il
war of years upon years, the progress
made is most encouraging Here in Yer
mont the St. Adams movement still con-
tinues. In Burlington there is an evident
determination to put the laws of the state
in force, and the same spirit continues to
manifest itself in Rutland. The bar of the
Van Ness House, Burlington, was closed
by the proprietors several days ago, and

ed the example, as have the leading
saloons. 1t is very apparent that those
in favor of prohibition in this state mean
business from this time henceforth. There
has been talk of an anti-prohibition meet
ing in Burlington, but nothing has as yet
come of it, and the friends of the law APP
pear rs anxious to have one held rs do its
opponents.
