and in 1874 was representative
in the State Legislature. In 1880
he was the Democratic candidate for
member of Congress and also dele
gate to the Democratic National Con-

not enter into detail concerning his

of his fellow lawyers who knew him
well, of an article for our next issue.

Lamoille County Union of Good |
Templars held its quarterly meeting
at this place last Thursday. All the
Lodges in the district, except three
were represented, there being present
from out of town about rs. Eden,
which has one of the strongest lodges
! in the State, was represented by
twenty-five members. The exercises
were held in the town hall, which had
| been tastefully trimmed for the occa-
sion, and were presided over by Chief
Templar Warren Of Stowe. Besides
the usual order of exercises, which
consisted of reports from various
lodges as to their condition, etc.,
there was what is called good of the
order," which consisted of vocal and
instrumental music, readings and reci-
tations. Every Lodge represented
took part. The exercises throughout
were very interesting and showed that
Good Templarism in Lamoille County
at least is in a fiourishing condition.
Dinner and tea were served in the
vestry. The following poem by Rev.
Mr.. Crudgington, of johnson, who is
District Deputy, was read and re-
eeived hearty APPLAUSE
Dear members of Lamoile County Union,
With whom I'm bound in Good Templar COM
munion;
Tho far off removed in vacation trotting,
l send you some notes of my rambling dotting.
Eve exchanged the land of maple sugar
For the land of good and steady habits;
But do not find the air more pure,
From nOXiouS fumes or Bacchanal hatchetS
As glide along in the steamer palace
And quaf pure air from natures chalice,
ask, Oh! why should men desire
The dangerous ways of alcOhOPS fire?
l look around and behold the mark
OF treacherouS deeds and plannngs dark;
And alas, poor fools, men will not see,
The signs on the rum sellers window;
In the glass ground scene OF spider and fly
A caution of dangers and evils to follow;
Or their suffering of springs wailing cry,
Nor their neighb0rs corroding sorrow.
Tho far off from home, I've not forgotten
The bands of Faith. Hope and Charity;
To t1Uo of them, have now gotten,
And found them true in Fidelity,
And then as well have been called
At Union Temperance meetings,
To try and lift the yoke from OFF the CALLED,
And give them Christian greetings.
That you will find at Hyde Park Lodge, s
Good Templars' hearty salutation,
And hope you'll find from every Lodge
A grand working delegation.
| L hope you'll feel the friendly cheer,
And warm your temperance ambition;
You're in the right, so need not fear,
For whole-souPd prohibition.

ion Church Tuesday, Aug. oath, at
