Their motherly instincts having LED

DEDIcArloN.-On Tucsday night last,
Temperance Hall was impressively de'l-
icatcd by NcwLcrry Division, No. s.
Sons of Tcmperancc-the interesting
exercises being conducted by Grand
Worthy Patriarch, John \. Elkins, of
Columbia Division, No 6, who showed
a perfect fitness for the honorable posi-
ton to which he was invited, and L
thorough acquaintance with the bcauti-
ful forms set down in the ritual for such
occasions. Mr.. Elkins stands high in
the Order with which lie is so intimately
associated, and bears a bright record
throughout the State. Although the
entire ceremony w:.s highly interesting
and would well bear description, yet we
will only alludc to the closing portion
of If, in which the Hall waS Solemnly
dedicated to the cardinal principles Of
ihc Order, Love-" "Purity" and "Fi-
lelity"-ls eloquently telling the OBJ
jects designed by this social organiza-
ton, and speaking in language strong
as proofs of Holy Writ of the good al
ready done and yet to be accomplished.
After this ceremony, which occupied
about three-quarters Of IN hour, and
which was intorspersed with vocal and
instrumental music. Il happy and well
conceived address WAS delivered BY our
fcll0w-townsnan, Tho>. S. Norman,
ESQ, which was listened to with rapt
attention. This gentleman is Il ripe
scholar and a deep thinker, and had
given his subject the study which 1t
meritcd, and we are pleased to say that
the address w:ls success.
Next followed the Installation of Off
GERS for the ensuing term, which, al
though necessarily brief-much of the
usual form being omitted-was still OF
such character as to give the audience
much pleasure.
Tie asSemblagc of ladies and gentle
men, old and Young, WAS large, and
gave evidence OF the interest which is
taken in the CAUSE Of temperance, and
the sympathy which is felt in the work
of reform in which the Order is engaged
and without which, it is needless to
say. the noble work would progress but
slowly.
Much credit is due to the Hall Com
mittee and the master of ceremonies,
for the pleasing effect produced by the
arrangement of the seats, and the
smoothness with which the programme
was carried through, and we feel that
our brief notice of the exercises would
be incomplete, unless it be added, that
Ncwbewy Division is entitled to the
gratitude of our citizens, not only fol
the great good done in the advance
ment of its principles, but for the in
structive and pleasing entertainment Of
Tuesday night.
