| ton OF Intemperance to Crime" before the
| Fryeburg Temperance Association, in the New
church, Sunday evening. The association has
| been organized nearly three years, and was the
| outgrowth of a reform movement which enlist
| ed the active cooperation of large number OF
the young men and prominent citzens of the
town. The association has been holding pub
| lie meetinge two and three times week since
| its organization. Last spring an I. o. of G. T
| lodge was established at the norh b part of the
town, and the lodge ia now in fiouTishiue
| condition. Although stormy, the church wai
| well filled, and the closest attention was paid
| TO the speaker. 1t was a very able argument
| in favor of the amendment, and presented vel
| arranged and important facts, sustaining the
| claims of the speaker. Tho remarkable state
| ment that in Oxford county, of more than 33
600 Inhabitants. there was but thirteen crimi.
nal arrests for the year 1883, or Que to 2 SOC
| persons, while in Cumberland county there
was one to every 43 persons, and in Suffolt
| county, Massachusetts, one to every Ii persons,
points with no uncertainty to the fact that a
faithful execution of the law, as is the case in
Oxford county, does away with crime. Mr.
Harrington also stated that there was only 1,
persons who took United States licenses il
the county, their quota being 81, .as cempar-
ed with the State.
