Logic is certainly irresistible, and its
applications are various. When a poor
fellow, who had been hit by steam
engine, was told that drink was the
cause of the disaster, he replied that
rum had saved his life, for it had linn
bered hinl up SO that when the engine
struck him it was as though it had bit
jelly fish. He argued thence that when
ever man decides to walk home on g
railroad track, he ought to guard him
self against accidents by filling himself
with whiskey. He now walks on the
track regularly, and follows his own
rule with religious scrupuiosity. 4.

Northfeld.

The temperance tidal wave struck North field, last Friday evening, sweeping all before it. The Good Templars seeing the success of the Thomaston campaign under the leadership of John Barry, engaged his services, and the results exceeded the anticipations of the most sanguine. After MT. Barry's address which included the story of his own fall and referma- tion, and was full of pathos and eloquence, the call to ''Come up and sjgn," moved nearly the whole audience and the old veteran was re- joiced to see one Hundred and ffty-stg sign the Murphy pledge. This is the first blue ribbon meeting which has been held in North field. What place of its size has done Sc well in response to the first call? A large chorus of singers from Thomaston were present, and added much to the interest and enthusiasm of the meeting. At it's close they were surprised to find that they were not then free to return home, but were constrained to sit down to a nice collation. in the basement of the church. Then the teams were brought around and they started off for their moonlight ride singing "Glory Hallelujah.''

There was an interesting prayer meeting: M 9nday afternoon, and good meeting in the evening, which was rainy, and sixteen signed the pledge. The number who attended the afternoon meetings increased to the end. Fifty-eight signed, Tuesday evening, and thirty eight Wednesday evening. Every member of the choir at the Congregational church, and nearly all the teachers and scholars in the Sabbath school signed the pledge. After tea, at the meeting of the Sewing society at the house of Henry Norton, Thursday afternoon, Mir. Graves ad dressed the ladies in relation to the temperance work performed by the ladies in Waterbury. The last gathering was Thursday evening, when great numbers assembled and seventy nine signed the pledge.

The first one who signed was young woman who is Catholic.
