rhe Mabee and English Meetings.


Messrs. Mabee and English began
their temperance work 10 this city, last
Saturday evening. Eolcombe Hall was
packed, there being present all audience
OF at least eight hundred, and large num-
bers were unable to gain admission. =
Every evening since the opening night
the hall has also been crowded. and
every one seems deeply interested in the
speakers aud their remarks. But it is
evident that the work here in results will
not reach anything like that done in
neighboring towns. This, however, is to
be expected, for this city has had num-
Der of temperance REVEALS during the
past five or six years, while the other
towns in which these temperance work
ers have held meetings have been COM
paratively fresh ground.
To night "wednesday the meeting
will be held in the M. L. Church and
tomorrow evening in the Baptist Church
This week, we understand, will be all
the time they can give our people, as
