The Murphy Movement.

Other cities and towns are now, and
have been, visited by the Murphy
orators, and the newspapers are filled
with the successes of these philanthro-
pic and almost mystenOusly gifted
speaker; whole batallions of the great
masses are wheeling into line, prospect
i've of class or station, and the country
seems jubilant with the shout ola great
triumph, so much desired and yet so
unexpected in its sudden approach and
most satisfactory and brilliant achieve
ments, and while this important move
ment was being conducted in other
parts of the State, it was reserved for
Hartford TO commence the battle and
marshal the clans in the Green river
portion. How well it has been done.
II will be seen from the unexpected
presentation ofthe subject to the people
here on the 18th inst, by the able and
worthy Circuit Judge of this District
Judge James Stuart. Probably a
more suitable place than this could not
have been selected. The acquaintance
of the people with this distinguished
gentleman marked him as the man
above all others TO accomplish good
work in the field of temperance. A
thorough acquaintance with the evils
OF this unfortunate vice, seductive habit
and inherent disease, made him both
strong in argument and glOwingly elo-
queni; having the sympathy and the
mistaken confidence of the public, he
had but to hold up the pledge and blue
insignia Of fidelity, and with one accord
the people rallied to the discharge of
high duty, took the pledge and wore
the blue ribbon. What is there signifi-
cant IN this little badge of innocent
color! Much, every way. Remem-
her the War of the Roses in English
history-the white and the red-think
of the matches, eloquent champion of
Irish liberty, Robert Emmett, and the
hosts Of patriots that wore green on
their capes because they were united. |
What of the Star and Garter, the
Golden Fleece, the White Lamb Skin
Of an ancient order, honorably worn
even TO the present day. More in the
badge, / conclude, than name. Wear
them; they point from the gutter to
the sky. On the next evening, Rev. !
DIR. Humphrey addressed the audience
of ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, |
in one Of his mastery Temperance ef |
tOrts. and nearly one hundred have
been enrolled. Great praise is due the
ladies fer the interest taken in this i'm
pOrtant AHd Heaven favored work.

to the Supreme Court. That tribunal was
of the opinion that the evidence did not
sustain the charge, and yemanded the case
for a new trial. By reason of said decision
the District Attorney, with the consent OF
the Court, entered a noLle prosequi as to

4 Party.

Last Friday evening we enjoyed the
pleasure of attending a party at Mr..
Princes, complimentary to his accom-
plished daughter Nellie. Upon our arIl-
val we found the residence crowded with
beauty and chivalry. The gallery was full
also. and so was the yard. The ward was
full Of little b~oysand girls, enjoying them
selves under "the soft, silver light OF the
moon" and there were others, perhaps,
not so small, enjoying themselves undo
the same benign influence. Some were
promenading in the attractive surround
inqs. and some were conversing on the gall
lerv. some were in the parlor listening to
sweet music, and as it was the hour of
song it was accompanied with seraphlc
voices. while in an adjoining room Ierpsl-
chore, the Muse, presided, and the devotees
to her shrine enjoyed the eight fantastic"
and were manifesting how well they ap-
preciated the opportunity that was afforded
bv chr princelv Prince. In another room
there was an abundance of delicious cake,
an assortment of candies, a variety OF nuts
and a quantity of lemonade, and this room
was open at all times for the guess to help
themselves ad lbitum, They could dance,
sing. talk, promenade, eat and drink lem
onade whenever they felt like 1t. 1here
were no restrictions. Everything was Tree
and pleasant. Mr.. and Mrs. Prince used
every exertion to make the occasion a
pleasant one, and the manner in when
they succeeded can be measured by theJoy
and pleasure that prevailed so harmoni-
ously on that memorable evening. Miss
Nellie, too, was all aglow with anxiety to
see that her friends enjoyed themselves TO
the fullest extent.
There must have been at least one hun
dred and fifty persons there Of all sizes, all
of whom we believe enjoyed themselves
exceedingly we'll.
We tender our thanks for the pleasures
of the evening, and conclude by saying
Wee Ia Prince Of ~Brookhayen.
