Temperance millennium in Middle
bury. The Addison House, the Pierce
House and John Rings Park House
have all stopped disconnting liquors at
their bars, and the suckers are awfully
dry! 1t is hoped that this rain will
continue to come lively so that the dry
can slake their thirst. One fellow says
he is going to move over the lake to
Port Henry, where he can enjoy the
largest liberty. Colby has come to q
halt, and Ellis says he never sells any
thing strong. They have killed off
the one-armed vender of liquor. The
drug-stores only sell little for medical
purposes.
40 dear what can the matter be-"
What produces this terrible scare?
The young people of tho Methodist
church are making arrangements for
having novel entertainment in the
evening. 1t is called "New England
Kitchen" otherwise &" shilling supper"
the admittance fee being "ninepence'
and the supper tickets Yarmouth
shillin'," making an even change OF
thirty cents for both. The evening will
be interspersed with music, tableaux,
Rotations, etc., the principal character
being reading of the poem " Maud
Muller" to illustrated by tableaux.
This undoubtedly will be one of the
pleasantest occasions of the season.
The proceeds are to go for the benefit
of the Sunday-school library. \
