the season and tho high state license, making
a through run from Bherbrooke TO Greenfield,
Mass, where It showed on Monday. A large
Sunday evening congregation dovouty watch
ed the train arrive aud depart and 20 Brat
tleboreans went to Greenfield Monday to see

Local readers will find matter Of unusual
interest in an article printed on our first page
to day under the head Of "a Last Century
Sermon" The young Palmer whose untime-
~ death h there alluded to was n younger
brother of the mother Of Hon. Royal Tyler,
our honored Clerk Of Courts and Judge of
Probate. Young Taylor was a son Of Rev.
Pardon Taylor, familiarly known as PEARSON
Taylor" then, aud for years afterward, min
lister of the gospel at Newfane. The spot
near the brow Of the hill, in the old part Of
the cemetery, where the bodies Of these two
young men were "decenty inferred in the
same grave" is still marked by the double
headstone of slate which their sorrowing
friends placed there.
The concert given by Mr.. John l.. En-
mons OF Boston at the Universaist church on
Tuesday evening was an attractive one, and
deserved large audience, which it did not
have. The violin and piano playing by Misses
Annie and Louie Way was the leading attrac-
ton, and fulfilled all the promises which had
been made for them. The little violnist, in
particular, charmed her hearers with the fdel-
ity and precision Of her playing. Miss Bel
ton, the double-voiced soloist, was unable to
be present. Mr.. Emmons possesses strong
clear tenor voice, which was heard with good
effect both by itself and in duet with Mr.
Willis. Miss Belle Clark gave an artistic rem
dering of the Odertore of ST. Cecilia, and the
selections by the quartet Of young mems
voices gave pleasant variety to the program.
The White Mountain train made its last
trip for the season last Saturday, and the
New York and Montreal day express was re.
/ turned to its old place on the road Monday.
/ The up express passes here at p. NJ, and
/ the down express Mt D. The afternoon down
! mail train is due at 1925 and leaves at $3.50.
| The time of all other trains is substantially
the same as heretofore. The arrangement Of
the past few months, by which the Connect
! cut River night express waited at Greenfield
for the 6 p NJ express from Boston has been
discontinued, aud in its place the night freight
north on the New London Northern road now
has passenger car attached at Mllers Falls
for the accommodation OF passengers who
leave Boston at o'clock. This is q pretty
bad arrangement, but better than nothing
The public meeting held by tho w. G. T.
1 L. in the parors of the Centre church Mon
day evening was well attended, and appar-
emily enjoyed by all present. The exercises
/ opened with synopsis of the various reports
] Ttuu Al tue IectLl blhte tOuNtullOut uhue up
by the local secretary Mrs Tnlles, and read
by Mrs. George +. Greene. Mrs. Dr. Tuck
er then gave short abstracts of some of the
addresses given at the convention, aud Mrs
Wells followed with a brief but forcible ap-
peal in behalf Of the w. 9. L. U. She
thought mothers, especially, should be inter
ested IN its work and hoped ere long TO see
many enlstne under its banner. Mrs. Housh
read AN original "Decennih Hymn" Mrs.
Drown sang most acceptably aud Miss Hat
tie Barnard read the Drunkard's Lament"
in very effective manner. The fact that the
w. G. I. L. is 30 little known to the MAORI
ty Of our people, notwithstanding its e1is-
tence here for so many years, would be hard
ly credimble TO our community were the fault
wholly theirs. Many suppose its whole Oh
iect to be tie suppression of the liquor traffic
by prosecution Of rnmselers aud the refor-
nation Of druukards; and, rightly regarding
the means as absurdly inadequate to the end
in view, have preferred to have nothing to dc
with the matter. Let the women OF the union
once convince the public that their aim is far
broader aud deeper than this, that they would
inspire and foster ia all and especially in
the young-such love for "whatsoeveI
things are true, whatsoever things are honest
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever thing,
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, what
soever things are of good report that there
shall be no desire for anything that tends &c
prevent growth to the full stature of noble
manhood and wOmanhood, and the hearty
sympathy and support of all right.mindeC
people must be theirs &c.
