near the railroad crossing at the foot Of Gal
lison hill. From there he wandered toward
North Montpelier, where he was seen on Sun
day afternoon. lie claimed to be buying
sheep, but his suffering condition was such as
to induce the parties seeing him to convey him
to the residence of his son-in-law, Mr.. jackson,
in East Montpelier During his wanderings
he had waded through swamps and brooks up
to his waist, and had spent Sunday night some
where-ho cannot tell where.

WORCESTER. - The traffic in intoxicating
lilu1r in this town has been eiTectually sup
pressed, by the conviction by confession Of two
dealers. One was fined for three offences $50
and costs the other for four offences $40 and
costs It Is now reasonable to hope that we
shall not again witness the Notifying sight we
did on our last town meeting day. The price
of tie six or seven barrels that were seized or
secretly removed to another town, would be a
heavy tax on our already over-burdened people,
for some are never so poor but they can find
some means to pay for drink. Much bitter
feeling has been awakened, and hard speeches
INDUCED in-occasioned partly because our ex-
cclent hotel keeper was one Of the uniortunates,
and because the "neediul can't be obtained

OF our people will sustain those who took a
leading and active part in accomplishing the
great feat Of banishing king alcohol from our

Themselves Mr.. Chase, however, being sus-
piclous Of the boys, returned, and caught them
at this business, and their exit from the sugar

erciscs were commenced by singing a temper.
ance hymn. Prayer was offered by Rev Mr.
Spencer.
The chairman, Mr. joel Foster, said he had
lately heard the question raised Is the TEN
perance cause making any progress? and it
was answered in the negative. lie was sur
prised that any man who had seen forty years
could make such an answer Mr. Foster re-
viewed the efforts that were commenced forty
years ago to induce the merchants Of this town
to give up the traffic in intoxicating liquors.
lie also alluded TO the establishment Of a
license law prior to the passage Of the present
prohibitory law lie could sec great progress
and thought there was much 10 encourage in
the present aspect Of the Temperance question
Rev. Mr. Tilotson Of st. Johnsbury, being
present, was called upon to address the meet
ing, and he cheerfully responded lie was
glad 10 see so large an audience, and glad 10
say word for this good cause. lie spoke Of
the errors that are entertained respecting it.
1t is certainly an error 10 suppose that no
progress is made. Another error is that public
sentiment is against it, There is no thought
which engages the public mind ut the present
time, more than the danger our country is in
from the giant evil OF ntcmpemncc. The very
nation reels under the curse of intempemncc.
1t is a hopeful sign Of the future that members
Of our national Legislature had brought the
subject before that body, and that "a committee
is 10 be appointed to ascertain facts in regard
to the traffic in, the use and the effects of iu-
toxicating liquors. lie addressed the young
men present upon the error Of .upposing thata
slight indulgence in the use Of alcoholic drinks
as beverage could be allowed with safety, and
related sad instances that proved the habit of
