is the first attempt to commemorate this

it.
The Rev. Geo. H. Vibbert of Boston
delivered two temperance lectures here
last week, which were really the best
temperance lectures heard here for years.
Mr.. Vibbert is thoroughly informed on
this subject, is a pleasing and eloquent
speaker and his work is calculated to
do much good. For the information of
those who have become disguised with
the temperance lecturing tramps who
have visited this section of late, we can
say that Mr.. Vibbert is known by peo-
pie here to be as true and reliable as
John B. Cough. The clergymen in
this place gave him the following recon-
mend:
We take great pleasure in recommend
ing Rev. George H. Vibbert to the friends
of temperance, as one highly Endorsed by
such men as Bishop Haven, DIR. Bartlett,
President of Dartmouth College, DIR.
Miner of Boston, Gen. Neal Dow of Port
land, and others. Having heard his in
structive and interesting lecture of last
evening, we are very DESTROYS that all
should come and hear for themselves this
evening. Rev. LAWRENCE PHELPS.
