/ New WINDSOR ITEMs.-Ihe commence
ment of New Windsor College is over.
was quite success. The College IS just on
year old; but judging BY its progress durln!
! the year, one cannot fail to conclude that
| has won for itself name and standing, b
merit alone. DIR. Jelly has purchased the en-
tire property, and now all are satisfied tina
under his management New Windsor Colleg
will stand, ere long. second to none IN tn
country.
A moral revolution has broken out in Ney
Windsor in the form of a temperance move
ment, and over two hundred have marshallet
under its banner. Mr.. Nelson J. Lee, o
Wilmington, Delaware, came here about TIVE
weeks ago and entered upon the work of re
formation. He was received kindly, but the
timid obviously shook their heads, through
fear of failure, but nothing daunted, he en-
tered upon his work with will, and it wa
not long before all were convinced that he
was in earnest. The churches welcomed hin
and night after night the people came forward
to sign the pledge; and thus 1t goes on. The
vendors of the Intoxicating drink are feeling
the effects of the movement, and are alarmeC
at the inroads made upon their hitherto lu
crative traffic. The community is rejoicing,
and perfect change has come over it for the
better. Men who could be seen Keeling along
the streets, and who were objects of scorn
now walk erect, with clear heads and the
consciousness of the fact that they are respec
ted. Incalculable good has been done here
and all desire that the work should go on.
Mr.. Lee intends visiting Westminster in the
course of a week, to make an effort there il
the temperance cause.
Another letter says :-On-the arrival of the
excursion train, on Wednesday last, with the
