written to lady now residing in this city, Mrs
E. Robinson. more than half a century ago
while the writer was upon board of ship lyir z a,
the port he describes:
"Lima is the most ancient city in South Amer

wealthy, particular its churches, some of which
have been robbed by Spain Of ten millions of dol

seen. Lima is situated on the bank of plain, ten
miles from Callao, and its steepes. domes and
walls can be seen from our ship, and back of the
city lie the Andes, Il highest mountains on this
continent; and notwithstanding it is continually
summer here, we can see from our ships the white
tops of the mountains, made so by their being GOV
cred with everlasting snow which, taken in con-
trsst with the cultivated plains below, with cities
and castles, forms one of the most grand and
sublime spectscles l ever beheld The place

The temperance meeting held at the reform
club room Sunday afternoon and evening, was
largely attended. There seems to be growing
desire on the part of our citizens to suppress the
nefarious traffic in strong drink Many who have
absented themselves heretofore from our meet
ings, now gladden. the hearts of our brothers by
their presence in our midst again. Welcome
brothers, sisters and all. We extend a kindly
greeting to you all. The evening meeting was
called to order at o'clock, President Gsslin in
the chair, who in kindly manner complimented
the brethren on the success of the club, and then
called on that standard bearer of temperance,
Joshua Nye, who responded in his usual forcible
manner. Bro. Nye thinks that if the ladies of our
country were allowed the privilege of deposting
the ballot with the men at the polls, rum would
soon cease to be in our midst. Bros. Lane, Nc
Kenny, Sennett and others, told what rum had
done for them. All had word in praise for the
pledge that had done so much for them. The
meeting closed at 9 o'clock. The best of feeling
prevails in our ranks this fall and we are looking
forward to grand success this winter. D.

Pooling of $50 towns show that Rice leads Gas
ton 1892 votes, being gain for Rice in these
towns of l6jl. Castor loses 2179 votes. Pitman,
prohibition, gains over the vote for Baker last
year, 1890 votes, which seems to have been drawn
from the democrats rather than the republicans.
The Journal claims Rce's election by Il 900 to
$1,000 peurality, which is probably not wide Of
the mark. The legislature is largely republican
and the council is nearly solid lepubl can.

SPRINGFIELD, November 6. The election in
-four western counties to-day brought out pretty
full vote FOR the off year, and resulted IN large
gains for the republican ticket, over 1875, when
Rice had about five thousand majority. RICE car
ries every county, while Castor had majorities in
ali but one two years ago Hampden gives Rice
one thousand majority against twenty-five for
Castor two year, ago.
Hampshire 1915 for Rice, against Isl in 1875.
Berkshire, $50 for Rice against lis for CASTOR
then, and Franklin. 1920 for RICE, against 50 for
Castor in 1915, making 3747 maj. for Rice now -,
where Castor had ID maj. two years ago.
Judging from gains for Rice reported thus far
in Worcester Co. and further east, his pleuralty
over CASTOR cannot fall below 10 000 and is more
likely to approach nearer fifteen thousand.
