 The Temperance meeting held at the chapel on Wednesday evening of last week, called together an audience of about anhandred and fifty. Mir F. D. MeNiel took the chair and the objects of the meeting were stated by Mir G. A. Hickox. About five years since, our people had become much interested in the subject of Tenn Perance; several meetings were held, and finally Division of the Sons of Temper ance was' organized. This had numbered from eighty to an hundred members and was in flourishing condition. Still there were evidently many among us who be- lieved in and .practiced total abstinence but who did not belong to that or any other Temperance organization. It was with a view of inducing such to enter the existing sorety; or, if an open organiza ton were preferred, some society of tha' kind. that the present meeting had been called. It was proper that temperancs men should go upon the record in sup port of their principles, and the case oi New Milford with it's five hundred mem bers of temperance societies vas in. stanced.
 The Rev. MT. Graves of the Methodist church followed, strongly favoring an oVen profession of temperance faith. He ma,. .Nta1ned that total abstinence was par, of the Christian's duty. Every church should ha' we its temperance society. He referred to church of which he was for merly pastor a Nd nearly every member o which took his pl. zee on the platform o total abstinence.
 MT. Starr gave an int eresting account o the benefcent results of che Moody ant Sankey revival as regards temperance which had come under his not>ce in Phil delphia. He said that at the meeting specially devoted to that class, hundred of incorporate men would stand up ana confess their incorporate habits. and h. gave some wonderful instances of reform effected. He told several effective anec dotes, referring among the rest to the re ply made by shrewd temperance advo cate to an obiector who insisted on St Paul's advice to Timothy. "But my nam, isn't Timothy, and there is nothing tn matter with my stomach" r,
 The Rev. Mir. Mclean appealed strong ly to those who wished to cheek this evl to take positive stand for total. absti nence. It was the only firm ground on' could find. he thought, although he con ceded that there were honest differences of opinion on this point. He considere, the example given by St. Paul in abstain ing from meat lest he should cause hi brother to offend, case exactly in point
