The W. G. T. U. held an interest,
ing meeting in the NJ. E. Church, of
this town, on Monday night. The

infantry against giant abuses which
have invaded society, and in many
cases completely cowed the pulpit,
shutting it up in its own narrow
limits of the church building, while
all without is given over to the
enemy. AS the Goths and Vandals
spread over the fair fields of Italy,
defying and driving back the legions

to capitulate and sue for terms with
the enemy. The new allies which
have entered the field are attacking

aggressive and heroic spirit which
has compelled them to sound re-

new enemy.
