Report Of the Temperance League.

The fortnightly meeting of the League
was held Monday evening Jan. 10, Prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Mitchell As the
President was absent, VIM. o. Mcdonald
was elected President pro ten. Mayor
Grant was elected Delegate to the State
Temperance Convention TO be held at Au-
gusta. Afler attending to the business be.
fore the meeting Mr. Mcdonald introduced
MIR. Dodge of fremont. who Is reformed
man. and referring to his past life warned
all young men never 10 take the first drink
The only safety IS in total abstinence.
Much had been done by the women. and il
they continued TO work in this cause they
will accomplish much more.
Mr.. Handy was the next speaker lie
thought all that use liquor, if only in small
quantities are not safe. 1t is the duty OF
every parent to do all in his power TO
suppress the liquor traffic. for the sake of
the children who are in danger of yielding
To the temptations which surround them.
When the ma jority of the people want
temperance and do all in their power To
make temperance community, we shall
have it.
Mr.. Waite of Mass. was then introduced.
4 'Intemperance is as great an evil as we
have TO contend against. lntemperance
in tobacco is something that should be
considered, for 1t causes diseases OF all
kinds and not only this but the statistics OF
1871 show that tobacco costs the nation
six hundred and ten millions OF dollars.
Moral sua>ion will do much to promote the
cause of temperance but with this. we must
have temperance Jaws and enforce them.
When man is trying TO reform. it is the
duty of each and all TO speak words OF en-
enlargement To him. Do not fail 10 do
In, il, 'l,.
10y which we can rid ourselves of ihtemper-
ance,is by all the temperance men and wo-
men of our land using all Their power
against the evil; when this i done, we
>haIl have temperance people.
Mr.. Larkin. President OF the st. Joseph
I. \. Society WAS then called upon 10 adj
dress the meeting. Mr.. Larhin would
rather be excused from speaking but a il
seemed his duty to make a few remarks he
would SAY TO those who thought temper
auce AN old story and were tired of hear
in. remarks on the subject. that at least
one hundred men can be found IN our CITY
TO-DAY who have become temperance men
simply from the effect OF the agitation OF
the subject. Those that are hoping TO see
this mOvemen. failure must be discouT-
aged for we are in as prosperous a condi-
tiun as ever. Mr.. Larkin's reasons for adj
Nocaling temperance, were. that virtue
might be promoted a. it would he. were
intemperance driven from the land. Ii is
our duty to live temperate lives not only
for our own sakes. but for trose that are 10
come after Us. Mr.. Larkn closed his re-
marks by paving the Emerald Band com
piment which was justly deserved, for
none are more ready and willing 10 do
their part in these temperance meetings
than are the members OF this Band. We
feel sure the temperance people are CRATE
iul TO them for their kindness. The meet
ing adjourned TO meet Monday evening Jan.

occasioned by ignorance or mlsrepresenta-

acted very judiciously. The proposition
was to build Jail when labor and materi-
81 were dear and money plenty, and to pay
for it when labor and material might be
cheap and money scarce. The people here
voted unanimously against the proposition,
believing 1t unwise to build it on credi: ;
and judging from the expressions used at
the time. believe if the proposition had
been made to build the Jail and raise the
amount BY taxation the same year, the vote
would have been unanimous for the propo-
sition. What need is there of a County

suit. After the dIsputants appointed al
