and in making plans for the future.
T. w. Baldwin was made chairman,
Geo. A. Bill, secretary. The after
noon session was almost entirely de-
voted to the address OF Gen. Sam'l
F. Cary, and he held his large audi
ence for two hours in rapt attention.
He discussed his subject from high
and intelligent standpoint, and his
address was the best ever heard in
this town on the subject. The socie-
ty voted to instruct the executive
committee to correspond with the
leading temperance men in the differ
ent towns to ascertain their mind in
regard to the reformation of Law and
Order leagues in their various locall-
ties; it appeared to be the sense
of the meeting that it was advisable
to hold an old fashioned temperance
celebration, July 4th. We regret
that the matter of the entertainment
of those who attended the convention
and remained over for the evening s
lecture was not put into the hands OF
a committee and more thoroughly
looked after. 1t was an oversight.
