TEMPERANCE NOTES
We noticed an article, in your last issue,
classifying Messrs. Brown and Thayer with
the dishonorable, dishonest lazy and blath.
ering tramps, &c. We would Just state
that these gentlemen visited North East,
in August last, and were with us about two
weeks. When they first came they were
coolly received, because of the unsatisfac.
tory conduct of their predecessors, but the
temperance people of North East saw that
they were III earnest aud genilemanly III
their cotsduct, and encouraged them ia their
tcOrk. While at this place they organized
a temperance society of some of the best
material of the town, some of whom could
never be- reached before by the best talent
that could be produced. This society has
held weekly meetings ever since with great
interest and success. both in numbers and
improved decorum Of a number of our citi-
zens. Last Friday evening, 18th instant,
the meeting was addressed 10y Mr.. Samuel
I. Goodwin, a merchant of Philadelphia
well known to the business men of this
country, President of the Rcfurmatory
Home ''--'' the father of nine hundred
children, many of whom are much older
than himself He was listened to By
large and attentive audience, many of
whom pronounced II the ablrst temperance
discourse they ever heard. Mr. Goodwin
reported that he was well acquainted with
Messrs. Brown and Thayer and knows
them to be reliable men. who have the
good OF the cause ut heart. and are making
sacrifices to organize societies IN its iu-
terests. When Mr.. Thayer came To North
East, the pastor of the NJ. +. Church sent
dispatch to Col. Hyatt to know whether
Mr.. i. was tramp or reliable lecturer.
