lows held services in their Lodge-room
on Main Street this afternoon, at which a
very pleasant time was had The audi

The Lodge at this place embraces a fine
body of men-a great number of our best
young men being Members. -. In taking
walk this afternoon, reporter passed
by point on certain little creek, and
observed perhaps dozen small boys, fish
ing. In the quiet sitting upon the bank
and watching the lines, there was the
simple breaking of the Sabbath. But
the stream of horrid oaths that came
pouring from their little mouths, reached
down below the depths of simple Sabbath
breaking. A little persuasion and con-
siderable spanking would work a Won
derful reformation with such lads, and
perhaps stop this Sunday experience.
