Sunday evening there was union meet
ing held at the second Congregational
church on Main street, and large congre-
CATION was in attendance. During the even
ing Rev. l.. II. Stone of Castleton, ad-
dressed the assembly on the subject of
temperance. This subject was very ably
handled by Mr.. Stone, and his many hear
ers wish for another opportunity to listen
to him, as his manner of delivering tenn
perance address is somewhat different from
most Of such lecturers, and the style well
suited all that were fortunate enough to
hear him.
Everybody is on the qui oice for Tuesday
evening, for there is to be one of the finest
select dances of the season. 1t is under the
management of Nelson A. Burritt and b.
f. Stafford, and will undoubtedly be an i'm
mense affair. Invitations have been sent
in every direction and the ladies have all
been making extensive arrangements among
their wardrobes so as TO appear in their
best.
The snow in this vicinity is fast disap-

extensive accounts in the New York Her.

build you up, and TO give you an inheri tence
among all them which are sanctined."
The effort, though very trying to the
reverend gentleman, more especially in his
enfeebled condition, was every way appro-
pirate and fitted for the occasion. The
audience gave the closest attention during
| its delivery, not few being affected Ia
tears. Mr.. Cook will bear away with him
the good wishes of the best part of the
community in which he has lived and Ia
bored for the last few years.

The inimitable chorus from behind the
scenery was the sweetest music, we think
we can truthfully cay, we ever heard The
hearing of that single rendition was worth
