TEMPERANCE MASS MEETING.
We have lived long and suffered much,
hut we never attended such slim per-
fornance as the temperance meeting Of
last Wednesday evening at Academy Hall,
under the standard Of bigCtry and fanat-
icism. This was apparently about the
''last run of shad" and if the ladies hone
to do good and keep their cause in good
repute, they had better refrain from any
further public demonstrations. The au-
dience was much smaller than ON the o..
casion of the last meeting and before the
conclusion Of the exercises, which were
protracted until nearly eleven O'Clock. the
hall was very nearly empty. -
While announcing that these meeting
are intended to give opportunity for the
depression Of public sentiment" the fact
is that a chairman j. chosen who is known
to be thoroughly radical; the list Of speak
ers is made up beforehand and composed
only of those men whose views are known
| to be puritanical and severe, and the au-
dicnce is given no voice in the matter
whatever.
On Wednesday the evening paper an
nounced !hat Mr.. II. X. Adams would
speak and u good many people went to
hear him, but the chairman waited until he
had lett the hall before calling on him,
and on his consequent failure to respond
a very considerable thinning ont took place
in the audience.
Guy C. Noble Esq, presided and open
ed the meeting with u very pleasant adj
dress. Messrs II. C. Adams, Willard. Far.
rington and DR.. s. s. Clark made short
addresses with some point in them and
generally sensible in tone. The rest was
Il mere rehasll of the temperance cant
which ha, afflicted the people at intervals
during the past forty years and was very
fatiguing to the listeners. Late in the
evening the chairman noticing Hon. l.. l.
| Lawrence in the audience, requested him
to say few words and in compliance Mr.
Lawrence made Il very fair sensible and
intelligent address OF about fifteen minutes
length. in which was Il scathing rcbukc ioI
the hobby riders who had preceded him, il
they could see it. We fear the Chairman
will be censured Tor thus oyersteppng his
bounds, for Mr.. Lawrences' remarks worC
too liberal and too sensible to accord' will

Band was present and discoursed some o

style.
CHURCH soCIABLE.
The ladies of the Episcopal society held
the first Of a series of sociables, in the
Weldon House parlors on "Wednesday eve
ming. The attendance was good and the
occasion most pleasant and enjoyable
one, notceably agreeable feature OF the
entertainment being the music. Miss Hal

rar, and Messrs Hopkins, Shcarer, Dutchct
and Harvey sang with fine effect in solos
Duets and quartetts, We understand thai
a round sum was netted for the society.
