select readings, declarations and singing. The
membership is composed Of children from five to
fourteen years of age with adults IA honorary
members, and the pledge is a triple one, pledging
the member TO abstain from the use Of profanity
tobacco and intoxicating drinks. The children
are proud OF the temple and strive faithfully to
keep their pledge, and we may venture to affirm
that they are AS faithful to their pledge as the
members of any society or church in the land
The temple is educating workers for the temper
ance cause and church who will be exempt from
the three great vices which cast dark shadow
over the whole country, "Train child in the
way he should go, etc, " should be needed by our
ministers, teachers church members and friends
of temperance, and their presence and the pres

invited to join the temple and members are re.
quested to bring their parents with them TO join

PORTLAND Il OGDESsBURG RArLRoAD-The
hearing at st Johnsbury, before Chancellor Ross.
in the Portland Ogdensburg railroad case. on
the application Of Messrs. Jewett and Hastings.
receivers and managers of the Vermont division.
for power to create prior lien on the railroad and
to expend 5000 in repairs and supplies for the
same, has been adjourned for thirty days counsel
for the bondholders and Mr. HYDE counsel for
Governor Fairbanks, having arranged plan
thought to be satisfactory to all parties holding
liens or claims against the road and the bond
holders. All litigation is to end II the compro-
mise is accepted, but to continue in thirty DAYS il
there is failure to agree by a majority Of the
creditors and amount of liens. The proposition
for compromise is understood to be the formation
OF new corporation and scaling down Of the
present Indebtedness of the company, bonded and
otherwise, of from forty to sixty per cent. The
testimony of Superintendent Jewett as to the con-
dtion of the road must be anything but re-assur-
ing to the holders Of its securities and the con-
dtion Of the road-bed and rolling stock according
to the same evidence would deter any prudent
person from riding over its track until some
radical improvements had been made on the same.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.--On of the most dis
tressing cases of sickness and death caused by
dphtheria in this vicinity is in the family of Chas
Morse of Plainfeld. In two weeks six children
have died, between the ages of nine months and
thirteen years. Two were buried in one coffin
Two more are sick; one little one three years old
is not expected to live, but the oldest girl nineteen
years old, will probably recover. Six children
were sick at one time. They were obliged to bury
them without any ceremony except a prayer at
the time the first two were buried The disease
has been of such character that people generally
have been very much afraid of it, and but few
have been there to help them. They have had
the prayers of the church and the sympathy of
the people, but little more help would have been
a good deal better for them under the circum-
stances
