Mrs. Willard Is a young woman, but very free
and on-hand speaker. She has the faculty OF
grouping Incidents ana events and thereby giving
them their greatest force. She spoke aoly ON
Thursday nigat 1or nah an hour or more on the
relation OF this temperance cause to the children
OF our publlc ana SABBATH schools. Mr.. f. Murphy,

turer and seller to tue barkeeper and arInker,
ana finally wound himself up IN PRISON, where
