New York.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Rev. Drs.
Dowdish and Stole led a band OF wo-
men to Sands distillery, in Harlem,
yesterday. The building is q long,
rickety, tumble-down looking affair,
bearing the sign, "The old distillery-
drink at retail for wholesale prices. "
Before the crusaders reached the dis
tillery over 1000 men had gathered
and the door-steps of every house
were crowded. Arriving at their des-
tinatien, Dr.. Bowdish informed the peo-
pie that Sands had offered the use OF
his place for meeting, out
the authorities had pronounced
the building unsafe. 1t had
been deemed best to hold a meeting in
the neighboring park, where nearly
three thousand persons met in the
damp and snow, and listened to ad.
dresses and prayers and singing OF Cor
onstion, Nearer My God TO Thee"
&c.
The demonstration Of the Cath olic
temperance society in the Academy OF
Music, Brooklyn, tomorrow evening,
promises to be q great affair. Bishop
Lsughlin will preside, and two Of the
Oldest priests in the diocese, Rev. VIM.
Regan and DR.. Treel, will make ad-
dresses.
A number Of gentlemen accompau-
led by few women, met last evening
on the stage OF Harry Hills variety
shop and held a temperance meeting.
Alter singing "All hail the power Of
Jesus name" and prayer, addresses
were made, including one by Brick
Pomeroy. The meeting was then nom-
inalIy closed, bat the crowd remained
and called for speeches on the other
side of the question, which were given
the noisy auditors. The affair as 3
whole Vas not satisfactory. Daily tens
perance meetings are to be held in some
OF the Methodist Churches Of Brooklyn
this week, and last evening Rev. Mr.
Kendrick delivered . lecture, the sub
ject OF which was to win the women OF
his congregation to act as co-laborCys
in the cause OF temperance reform

COLUMBUS, March 9.-Thc ladies held
sn all day meeting to-day for isstiug
and prayer Seventy-Gvc ladies divided
into lour squads visited twenty saloons
to day, among them those on West
State street, where they were 80 griev-
ously insulted !ast week No signers
were obtained TO the dealers pledge.
The ladies also visited ihe business
colleges. At oGe college the principal
signed the pledge aud invited his pupils
to do so. Many signatures to the citi-
8eu's pledge were obtained here. At
another college the principal refused 10
sign himself, but most OF his scholars
signed.
At the ladies' meeting, Mrs. Desel~
lum, president OF the crusaders and o0c
OF the most active workers OF the ladies
league, said that sue was not in the
least discouraged at the progress thus
for made, for while no dealers had yet
surrendered, she was supported in her
labor by the knowledge that the ladies
are having good influence on the com
munity generally. and are spreading
the gospel among people whom church
es have failed to reach, and if the Lord
was willing that the saloons should no
close for two months or more, she was
willing to soy amen AID keep at work
on the streets until al the work is ac~
complished.
