A number of brick masons and stone
masons are expected this week, and the
work will be pushed along as fast as
possible. The approach of the new
viaduct will be directly in front of the
HERALD office, going right over about
the centre of the present station, the in
cline terminating on the fiat near Dale
& Sweeney's freight shed. This viaduct
will be thirty feet wide, six feet for
foot bridge and twenty-four for teams.
The foot bridge now opposite the Stew
art House comes down. The other foot
bridge will be built where the old one
stood, on Cross street, and these two
bridges will cause the abolishing of the
grade crossings at the east end of the
station and near Mr.. Reeves residence.
The work is proceeding harmoniously
and energetically, and there is an air of
industry about the place, and feeling
of pride in the future of Island Pond
that is very gratifying. 1t is well.

SOBRIETY SOCIETY A SUCCESS.
Ordinances Work Temperance Re-
forms in New Orleans.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans, July 25.-There is in opera
ton in this city a unique and most inter-
esting institution for the promotion of tenn
perance and sobriety.
1t originated here in 1869 and has not only
fourished. but has put forth its branches
in many other localities.
1t is the order OF the Knights OF Temper
ance Its principles, which are In many re
spectS entirely different from those OF any
other temperance order. are as follows:
1t does not pledge its members TO ABSTAIN
from intoxicating liquors for lie nor Tor
any fixed period Of time.
1t prohibits The use by its members OF IN
toxicating liquors as Il beverage only 50
long as they remain connected with the or
der.
A member can sever his connection with
the order by rendering his RESIGNATION at
any of the regular weekly meetings, which
will be accepted, provided no charge is
pending against SAID resigning member.
1t leaves the consideration OF the right TO
manufacture, purchase or sell Intoxicating
liquors with the conscience OF the individual
member.
The discussion of religion or politics IS
strictly prohibited at all OF its meetings.
While it predches and practices temper
ance, it does not attempt to make persons
temperate by force, but by moral suasion
only.
1t assists its members in securing employ
ment, takes care of its sick and burieS its
dead.
1t has the Endorsement of all religious de-
nominations and the good will of all right
thinking persons.
One of its advantages is that 1t keeps no
oppressive obligation hanging over the head
of an individual. He is not bound for any
specified time: he can quit whenever he
may choose 1t is wonderful what an effect
this complete liberty has on men. Many a
time a member has said:
I Will resign next week, but when the
time comes he postpones for another week.
and so goes on for years. knowing he can
quit at any time. 1t has made an excellent
record in this city. and is heartily COM
mended TO all who want to stop the drink
habit and still possess some will and con-
science
