Wilson Hall was filed to OVERLOOKING on Mon
day evening, demonstrating that the interest OF
or citizens in the work of temperance reform. is
in no wise abatcd. Rev. Mr.. lie Lacheur, presi-
dent Of the reform club, called the meeting to or
der, and after prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Mr..
Harding, addressed tn" audience in his usual
vigorous and animated manner. He referred
briefly to the "episode" of the afternoon, and
assured the people that notwithstanding the
assault committed upon him he was still able to
appear on the platform and defend the cause in
which he had been so long engaged. He then
called upon Rev. MIR. Harding, who responded in
impressive address, which served to give in
spration TO the occasion, and by solid argument
and pertinent illustrations rveted the attention OF
the audience, and carried conviction to every
heart. Maj ,r L. Rowell was the next speaker,
and was followed by Mr.. j. NJ. Smith, who in
pungeut, burlesque and sarcastic style defended
the "lberal" and "broad freedom" side of the
question, making many good "hits, which the
audience could not fail to appreciate. Excellent
singing was furnished by the club choir, at inter-
walls during the evening, Miss Lille Jaques pre-
siding at the organ. Little Mabel Woods, about
six or eight years of age daughter of Mr.. b. d.
Woods of this city, favored the audience with an
appropriate temperance song, which was enthu-
siastically appauded. This young Miss promises
to become one of the most accomplished vocalsts
in this locality. At the close of the meeting the
pledge was circulated as usual, and received the
signatures of those disposed to join in the reform
work Another meeting was notified at the same
place in two weeks, when it may safely be pre-
dcted the people will again meet to enjoy and
participate in the exercises of the occasion.
