TmR GRASD ARMY ENTERTAINMENTS The long
expected dramatic performances under the auspi-
ces Of Brooks Post G.. A. r., OF this village, took
place ON Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings
Of last week, and were witnessed by pleased and
crowded audiences The entertainments consisted
Of a presentation of the interesting and thrilling
war drama entitled The Loyal Mountaineers, or
the Guonllas Doom, " Interpreted with tableaux,
songs, fancy bayonet drills aud other attractive
interludes. The east included most OF the promi-
neut amateurs ofthe town, and the various parts
were well sustained. Mr.. George W. Wing, as
Pat O'Doughery, the Union soldier, aud Mr. T..
7. Hathaway as Jacob Kopfbsch, the conscript
guerrilla, were brimful Of fun; Mrs A. r Wiley
as Alice Marks one Of the leading characters,
made decided hit, and showed that she has real
talent for the stage; Mr.. John c, Cave personated
the blood-thiTsty guerrilla chief to the life, and
Mr.. Amell, as Mr.. Marks, the loyal Tennessee
farmer, received deserved applause Mr. j. n
Culver, and his stage manager, Mr.. J. IL Osborne
deserve great credit for the manner in which the
play was put upon the stage. No more suitable
entertainment for Grand Army Posts can well be
devised, and We commend "The Loyal Noun
taineers To the consideration OF all comrades de-
string TO give pleasing performance for the aug
mentation of their funds.

SUNDAY EVENING TEMPERANCE MrETISo.-
There was good attendance at Village Hall.
r. II. liinkley Esq presided and offered the
opening prayer
Rev. DR. Lord then addressed the meeting at
some length. lie answered the question, How
may we promote the highest and best interests of
the community and Of individuals" The con
science is to be addressed and also the reason; but
first of ALL and last, the hear which is the source
Of moral life and furnishes all the motive power TO
the man-must be reached and purified and made
the fountain Of pure and beautiful streams In
the process Of raising man from the animal to the
spiritual God has furnished Us with the family,
the state and the Church rs educational aud dis
ciplinary forces and institutions. We are to work
with him in the use Of his means 10 work with
him will give strength and success. And to work
with him Is 10 strike at the heart and rst seek It's
renewal and its complete purifying. Temperance
cannot stand alone. The virtues need mutual
support. And they get an equal development by
our addressing and cultiyating the moral, and es-
pecially the spiritual natures. DIR, Lord illus
trated his position by referring To the case OF a
banker who fell into dissipation and dishonesty,
and made a wreck of himself and brought misery
10 his friends, because his religion was simply an
intellectual notion, and not practical force and
conservation to Christ In all the work OF reform,
whether in a single heart or In community, it is
a fatal mistake TO overlook the true source Of
power and Of better life In the SON OF God. In
him alone Is the true and nobler life Of men. To
accept his word rs the rule OF life and rs the prn
cpe Of all reformatory action, il both TO deserve
aud to achieve success. In illustration, he read
tender poem entitled, Z" The Pitman's Song to his
Wife"
Mr. orrin pitkin gave the youth and boys a
timely word Of advice
Mr. Lull and the chairman spoke briefly, and
the meeting was closed with singing the doxslogy.
