course considerably crfittiacised. tic and we in-


 course considerably criticised. and we in- fer from the action of the meeting at the Congregational chapel on Saturday that no practical effort is to be.made tos carry out its!sugsestions. :. 2 kE E'aa Tn this connection we beg leavesSto call attention to the efforts of the Sons of Temperancein this village sfer the past four yeats, During fhAt time they have averaged from 80 to 100 members. No doubt many who have tried to reform Ithrougl this agency have failed. but some have succeeded, and more are escaping the most dangerous of the temptations of such asvillage-as ours by forming petma- nent habits of abstinence. We-n now. have atnice lodgeroom; and the certainty that they can meet there, every week, socially [. and !informalIy, makes it attractive to young people who might be repelled by the exhortations of an open temperance society.
 One controlling feature of our organi- zation is that it's members do not try to force others to be abstinent bpt learn. to practice abstinence Themselves. They do not say "Go and be temperate" but. "Cone and be temperate!'' The great difficulty with which we have had to con- tend has not been with the formation of habits of abstinence among the young so much as wlth the. fixed habits of small indulgence among the old. Many who would work hard and incur odium, to pre- vent the sale of liquor among us: many who would sign a. pledge of abstinence from the use of distilled liquor; will not forego the1r occasional winter glass of cider to encourage the formation among others of those habits of abstinence which are the only sure safeguard against in-' temperance. It would be most unjust and uncharitable to rev;le such, as intem- perate temperance speakers often do. New .ertnstess. itis certainly true that the only form of temperance effort amoug us stands in great need of their .countenance and support. Their example not only leads others to risk an indulgence that often proves fatal. but it throws all the weight of social position and of religiousJ profes- sion against us, in contest in which we feel that we are entitled to the support of responsibility. morality, and religion.
 In short we insist most stren1ously that if the terrible 1avages of alcohol are to be checked. it can only be done by, making habits of abstinence generally prevalent. The hypocrisy which denies others the indulgence it never denies itself can never fight auch an enemy successfully.

Perry Loucks, of Pine Plains, has re- cently purchased the old tavern stand and, report says. he is going to add another story and fix it into frst-class boarding house, giving it a thorough overhauling and repairing, which we are in hopes he will do without delay. We are informed that he has just bought four Texan horses with the intention of breaking them as part of his livery. Two of them were brought to Sharon, last week, following in single file behind another horse they are wild and probably have never had halter or a mans hand laid upon them. They are five years old. Mir. Albro Sabins was employed to put them under course of training. They had been in the enclo-. sure but a short time and he had so far succeeded in their training as to get them to approach him head foremost instead of heeSs first, when one of them became frightened at some unfamiliar motion and kicked hip very severely in the abdomen. He was just able to crawl out of the yard, was assisted into the house, and a physi- clan was called. He suffered so much that large quantities of morphine were administered and after the pain of the in. jury had ceased, such was the influence of the narcotic that it was with the great est difficulty that he was restored to con- seriousness. He still lies in very critical condition with strong hopes of his recov- cry if there proves to be no serious in- ternal injury. .lI4 ! ~E
