There was a Temperan ce meeting
at the Town Hall last Sunday evening,
the lecture being given by Miss Ina
Bridgmap. The Hall was crowded,
there being estimated five hundred
present. There being no admittance
fee, collection was taken, which
was, we regret to say, very small.
Miss Bridgman handled her subject in
a very pretty and pleasing manner,
though some of her ideas were not ex-
actly in accordance with the views of
the majority Of the audience. She
was assisted by her sister who recited
two beautiful poems in a manner that
showed she was an adept in the art Of
selection. We would be happy to
see them again.
DR.. Nathaniel Randall got a good

There seems to be quite a relig
ious awakening here. Protracted
meetings were held last week altern-
ately in the Christian, Congregational
ist, and Methodist churches, and the
interest was such that i. was thought
expedient to continue them TIN ough
this week Tonight it is at the
Christian church and a cordial invita-,
tion is extended to all.
AS this is a centennial wear Why
cant the managers Of the Otauque-
chez Poultry Association offer, at their
next exhibition premium for the
oldest fowl. We had for dinner, one
day last week, chicken (?) that, if
we could judge from its tender quail
ties, we would not hesitate to say was
alive when the thirteen colonies unit ed
July 4th, 1776.
