perance meeting was held at the U
B. Church last Saturday evening
conducted by the ladies of the w.
c.. T. U. 1t was one of the most in.
teresting and entertaining meetings
they have had for some time. Mrs.
Judge Blair, the secretary, read a
paper on the objects, aims and &C.
complishments Of the society in the
territory during the past year.
1t abounded in original ideas and
bright thoughts of the writer and
was we'll received. Mrs. II. MUIR
phey also read a very able and orig
inal prper bouncing upon that mon
strous evil, intemperance, and also
taking in the whole catalogue Of
lesser evils, such as gum-chewing,
the use of tobacco, card-playing,
dancing, &C., arguing with good ef-
feet that all these lesser evils were
streams that led directly to the
great river Of intemperance and
down into the maelstrom of destruc-
ton. Mrs. Vanmarter, Miss L.
Eastman and little Ida Woods gave
recitations appropriate to the ocea-
sion. Good singing intersperscd
shese exercises, and taken altogether

The school report published last
week in the COURIER got a little
mixed. The headings over the col
umns of figures, "deportment'' and
attendance" should be reversed,
and then it will read all right. Some
of the best behaved scholars in
school, who were compelled to stay
out on account of sickness, were
moved almost to tears, we learn,
when they discovered their "deport-
ment" was bad. We are sorry the
mistake occurred, and hope it may
never again.
