Fully 100 mem bers and friends, largely representative of the village. and also including visi tors from Lime Rock, Danbury, Provi. dence, and New York. attended The ladies listened to reports of encourage ment from the superintendent of the different departments Each one em. bodied suggestions for furthur advance ment in the cause.
 The members spoke freely upon tbe question, of methods to be employed in securing more holy seventh day, and they agreed that they must do their best to create an irresistible public sen- timent in favor of the discop tinuance of the importing of Sunday newspapers on that day. .
 The juvenile department provided songs and recitations that increased the pleasure of the event, materially. As social as we'll as temperance move ment, the occasion was unusually i'm portant. Many present greatly renew ed their interest in the work.
