TEMPERANCE.
Samuel Chipman, the Temperance lecturer, was in this village, according to appointment, on Thursday and Friday evenings last. He exhibited an array of facts, showing the destruction of human happiness, and the havoc of human life, made by alcohol, truly appalling. He also proved, beyond the power or possibility of refutation, that the interdiction of the traffic is constitutional.
The foregoing suggestions are timely-I say timely, because it is high time to have the subject attended to. It ought to have received general attention before now. The first of January was the time specified in the resolution, to have had the work done. The resolution reads as follows: "Resolved, That a vigorous effort be made between this and the first of January next, to replenish our treasury, that the Board may be enabled to pay off their debts and carry forward their important operations." The church in Weybridge and New-Haven has set an example that should be simultaneously followed.
