—The temperance meeting on last Friday evening was a grand success. The court house was filled to overflowing with a large and appreciative audience. The speeches, all, were ex* cellent and well received. The mos* pleasant feature of the evening was the presentation of a large framed card upon which was transcribed the Murphy pledge, and the names of over twelve hundred signers at this place The work and design was that of our esteemed fellow-citizen E- R. Pierce, who presented it to the ’Rlue Ribbon temperance society of Rensselaer, ina few well chosen and appropriate remarks, which were responded to by Hon. R. 3. Dwigglns in bis usual forcible aud happy style, and in the spirit which the. occasion demanded: It is a present of which the society should well be proud, and it ought to be preserved in the archives of the order long as time shall last. Many otbef and excellent speeches were made, but our space is too limited to refer to all. We can not pass by without alluding to the eloquent remarks and happy wit of one MrRooney, “who could not make a speech,” but succeeded in bringing down the house in peals of laughter at bls eloquent and witty remarks BroC. H. Hrioe was Ute orator of the evening and his closing remarks were eloquent and pertinent. His delivery was forcible and every word and every gesture showed that the speaker was fully alive to the importance of thfe occasion and the subject of which be was treating. He makes a good temperance speech, and the Judgment of ail was,he is the best we have got. All did well, and our little town may justly be proud of the forensic talent therein contained, but prouder yet of the high moral tone of its citizens. Wehavenot one licensed saloon in the town, no, not one in the county, a fact of which no other county tn the state can boast. These temperance

meetings have become quite a feature in the moral and literary status of our place, and well deserve the patronage which they receive. They have be* ooms a fixture, and may the good work go ou and on until our roll contains not only 1,200 names but 12,000, until every man, woman and child have signed their names to that glorious pledge >nd then keep It- The day haa come when people must ae l on this great and all Important question. Ths people are thoroughly awakened to the evils of ths liquor traffic, and they demand proper and efficient legislation on the subject. Let our office seekers feel and know that there is a power behind the throne that will soon over throw King Alcohol and then they will come out before they are buried in the reins-
