Housing Temperance Meeting tenn. perance meeting will be held at the Town Hall in this village next Saturday evening (JuAe 15th), which promises to be one oi unusual interest. The speakers for the oc. casion will be T. l.. Norton Esq. of Lake vile and D. s. Adams Esq. of Mill River, and with these zealous temperance workers the meeting will certainly not fail of being success, and grand success too. Mir. Adams is one of the most talented men in Southern Berkshire, but rum hurled him to the ground and besotted hls manhood, and for the time destroyed his usefulness, but being aroused from his lethergic stupor, he saw and realized the depth to which be had fallen. and summoning the will power left him in his wrecked condition, threw off the hideous nightmare that had held him down and stood forth to the world man! And he has since successfully battled with his enemy. and Saturday night will tell us all about it. MT. Norton is man who is not a drunkard, never has been and we have no Idea ever will be, 80 we shall have speak CT with and without actual experience in the curse they will talk about on thls occa- sion. Although knowing nothing of rum by his own physical expeEence, MT. Nor ton has seen enough of it's effect upon oth- CTS to enable him to tell story that we know will be interesting. Being naturally good orator, we are informed that he nev- CT fails to make bis remarEs in the temper ance cause of great lnteres, to his hearers. There is no doubt there will be full meet ing Saturday evening, fortwo such speak CTS as Messrs. Adams and Norton will al- ways draw full houses. Let everybody come.

 that maketh the heart sick" MT. Brew ster, the projector of the enterprise, has succeeded, with the aid of some $2,OOO contributed by our citizens in erecting a building, but appears unwilling or unable to proceed farther, As 6 consequence liens amounting to $l 300 were placed upon the building last week by Messrs. E. w.
 Spur of Lakeville, and w. E. Cutting, the tln-smith of this village The property has never been legally conveyed to MT. Brew ster, and it is questionable what course the above creditors will pursue to secure their claims. The abandonment of this enter. prise causes widespread dissatisfaction and disappointment. especially among the poor people living in the vicinity of the mill, who have been induced to contribute their labor, with the understanding that permanent employment should be furnished them. After years of patient waiting they must wait vet little longer. The building will stand as 8 monument to their industry, and our citizens who are never weary of we'll doing, will see that they do not remain long unemployed. President Camp last week effected @ settlement with Messrs. N. Brewster, Levi c. Seleck and T. s. Dex- ter of this village, who were injured in the Tariffville disaster. The two former re- ceive $2OO each, and the latter $15O, paya- ble in the notes of the company. All re- ceived free passes to ride over the road ad libitum until January next. a.3 K.
