KENESVELER,

Ed. Tslegrdp6:-The concert of the
Choral Union was given on Wednesday
eseuing, the 11tfuE according to notice,
-Fewn Hall, and was patrOnized to
the extent of a crowded house, aud all
were agreeablY entertained. At the close
a vote was taken in favor of repeating the
same, which, upon due consultation by
Prof. A. B. Luce with the members, they
decided 10 give another concert, Friday
evening, March 18th. which came off ac-
cordingly. With the limited advertising
done, there was quite respectable au-
dience, and the members of the Union
know very well that their efforts with a
purer atmosphere from a not over crowd
ed house, were fully crowned with sue
cess. 1t is not impossible that they will
give more concerts at an early day, and
with the practice and experience of the
past, confidence is indulged that the mem
bers viii be alb to master the most diff
cult on-positions.
The desk Of the Presbyterian church
was occupied yesterday, by Rev King, of
the Congregational church in Kelloggs-
vile, in exchange with Mr. Hickok-who
furnished us with two good, faithful, earn
est sermons.
We hear of the temperance movement
in your town, and sincerely hope the
monster evil may be fully suppressed, and
its influence extend as far as here. We
trust, however, that there is little more
than suspicion of evil to clear up. We
feel, generally speaking, like stunning the
very appearance Of an evil so fagran.-at
least, we hope TO compare favorably with
our sister towns in temperance and general
sobriety, and thus in continued prosperity.

< Editors Telegraph; GENTLEMEN-The un-

paper, that much of the anonymous

There has been no temperance movement
here, such as the above might IMPLY, and
as for liquor saloons, there has not been
one in town for years, consequently there
has been no closing. Our drug store is
kept by woman, who exercises great
discretion in her sales. No other woman

The reckless statements sent abroad
from the township of Orwell, as local
correspondence to some of the county
papers, have had the effect TO arouse a
deep feeling of digust, in the minds of
many of the citizens of that place-so
strong as to induce public denial and
denunciatiOn of the whole thing. To
this end, the following numerously signed
article has been sent US, far publication.

OF the effrrt to rebuke the injustice and

However appropriate all this may be in
its association and connection, about the
policy OF the course, grave doubt may be
entertained. The better course, probably,
is to appeal TO the better natures of the

Since writing the above, We find by in
tercourse with our citizens, that opinion is
divided upon the question whether the
preparation of this dark and discreditable
affair, was the work of the friends or enc
mics of the cause Of temperance So far
as we can gather opinion, it has no apollo
gist among the friends of the cause-who
consider it not only very indiscreet and
impolitic trick, but very daslardly one,
and fit only for the hour of darkness IN
which it was perpetrated.

wish you to take the matter partly into
your own hands and publish some ac-
count of what you hear and see. And in
order that this work may be more satisfac-
torily and beneficially performed, we ask
