THE GRAND TEMPERANCE JUBILEE.
We learn from a gentleman who is
thoroughly posted on the temperance
movement, and the plans of the mana
gers connected Herewith for the future,
that Washington Hall has been definite
ly secured for the purpose of holding the
Grand Temperance jubilee on the night
of the 18th inst, this being the date OF
the Inauguration of the Murphy move
ment in this city one year ago, and for
the Sunday afternoon following. 1t is
desired at these meetings TO have the at
tendance of all the temperance organizs-
tiOns in Wheeling, by whatever name
they may be called, and whether they are
composed of males or females or both.
These mass meetings are expected to be
continued every Tuesday night and Sun
day afternoon, SO long as sufficient inte-
rest is taken by the people. An admis-
sion fee of ten cents will be charged, not
for the purpose of profit, but to
aid in bearing the necessary and
unavoidable expense of procuring suita'
bic reading matter. Each person who
attends will receive two or three temper
auce documents, the money worth OF
which will be fully ten cents, and they
will be handed them Immediately after
passing the door keepers. The following
well known singers, whose abilities are
acknowledged, have been selected as
leaders of the singing, and with the re-
spective choirs to which they are attach
ed, will attend: j. Melvin, Richards
Oscar Seeley and A. A. gResch, Esqrs.
They will have good musical instru-
ment, and it is intended to make the
singing prominent feature. The meet
ings will be under the immediate charge
of Messrs. j. NJ. Richards and Z. 6.
Cracraft, who will alternate in conduct
ing the exercises. Messrs. d. G. List, jr.
and NJ. Jetfers will attend to the sale of
| tickets The door, ticket office and liter
ary departments will be under the super
intendence of Hiram Young, Esq.
A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all, rich and poor, high and
low, old and young, male and female, to
attend, and all who are willing to pay 10
cents and behave themselves may be as
sured of q hearty welcome, and get full
return for their investment. There will
be no long speeches made, and it is in
tended to have SIX or eight short, pithy
addresses at each meeting, interspersed
with singing. If a sufficient interest be
manifested, and the citizens give evil
dence of their desire for them to continue,
q number of foreign speakers will be in
vited to come here, who will at such
times as they are not engaged at Wash
ington Hall, speak at the other halls in
the city. The managers of this great
movement, and the people generally feel
debt of gratitude TO that noble man,
Thomas Hornbrook, Esq, for the great
interest he has taken, and the substan-
tisl aid given by him in the temperance
work, and it is expected he will at the
jubilee receive perfect ovation.
Many other citizens outside the men,
bership of both Parker's and outs Halls,
have also given solid evidence Of their
interest in the cause. II is further ln-
tended, il results justify the anticipation,
TO purchase a good library for each hall
A large amount OF temperance literature
has already arrived for distribution At
the Jubilee, and thousands upon thou
sands of interesting documents are on the
way from the East. All persons who at.
tend these meetings are requested to
bring their singing books, Moody and
Sankcy, and join in the chorus.
DIR. Tstum, the able and eloquent min
lister of the Society of Friends, of whom
a lengthy notice was published in the
REGISTER several days since, will lecture
at Parker Hall on Saturday night. All
who have heard him, testify to his ability
and eloquence.
