THE TEMPERANCE RALLY.

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
is a growing society. Its Importance
and influence is not cOmprehended by
the casual reader, unless he has investi-
gated its mode of work and its rapidly
increasing host of members. For one,
we have welcomed this society, long ago,
as one of the important members of the
large family of temperance workers, and
have seen the local union, the Father
Matthew T. A. B. society, growing year
ly from few gathered, score or so of
years agone, in humble quarters, to the
large organization that held its rally
Tuesday evening in this village. Yearly
we have seen its line of members visibly
heightened until our people saw the
solid ranks extend as they did on the &C.
casion referred to, double, yes quadru-
pie in members from not so very long
ago. Moreover, from quarters, where,
as Bishop Michaud said, the rain came
down into the room from leaky roof,
our people find the society to-day in a
commodious hall, one of the best in the
town. All this must be very gratifying
to them, as it is to us to spread upon
record.
The BANNER had promised field-day,
so TO speak, for this rally, but its vol
ume and consequence had been under
rated. The occasion was graced by the
Rt Rev. John S. Michaud, d. D.. coad-
tutor Bishop of the diocese, attended by
several of its clergy. At seven o'clock,
headed by the City band, the Father
Matthew boys marched to the parochial
residence of St. Francis de Sales, and es-
corted to Free Library Hall, the Bishop,

The citizens residing in the vicinity of
GorSinsrille, as we'll as many of this place,
are greatly incensed over the preparation
of = heinous crime upon the person of Mrs
Ella Watson, formerly a Miss Golden, and
sister of VIM. l.. Golden of Hagerstown.

She was carrying = number of bundles, and
suddenly a man bounced upon her and
threatened to kill her If she made an out
cry. Notwithstanding that Mrs. Watson is
e large woman and made a desperate re-
sistancc. the iiend dragged her over a fence
into cornEcld and accomplished his pur-
pose lie then told her that if she made an
outcry for five minutes he would shoot her.
Mrs Watson, although shocked almost into
tnsensibility. her neck bearing deep scars
male by finger nails, recovered suffi-
GENTLY in short time to drag herself
home She describes her assailant as being
an lriShTn2n. short in stature, with q small
nloustache. and wearing n gray coat and

The outrage became known officers and
