Temperance Movement at Browns
ville. Brownsville, Oregon, )
April 1st, 1874. f
Mr. Editor: I am happy to
inform you that the people of this
place are not asleep to the great
and all-absorbing topic of Tem.
perauce. They see now, what they
tailed to do heretofore, that intem
perance is the greatest evil that any
community could be cursed with ;
that it destroys the morals of the
young ; ruins the reputation of all
who indulge in it; lightens the
parse; makes beggars of our wives
and families, and, eventually, carries
its victim to a drunkard's grave.
'They think it high time to raise
their voices agaiust this terrible
floounre which is ravaging our
w O ..... wv
country and decimating it of meu
who, freed from it, would be an
honor to the nation. They there
lore called a mcetiug of the people
to devise means to banish from our
town and the country at large, the
cause of so much misery, penury
and want, King Alcohol.
A meeting for this purpose was
held at the 31. E. Church at this
place, last night at 7 P. M., Dr.
R. H Crawford, Chairman. After
calling the house to order, the fol
lowing resolutions were offered:
Resolved, That we will not use
intoxicating liquor as a beverage.
Resolved, We will not patronize
those that sell, or otherwise dispose
of, intoxicating liquor as a beverage,
when we can reasonably do othetv
wise.
' After some remarks as to the
phraseology and the force in which
the resolutions were put some
thinking the language not forcible
enough they were finally adopted.
Appropriate remarks were indulged
iu by Rev. Mr Starr, Rev. Mr.
Worth, Mr. Ellis, Dr. Rowland
and R. W. Henderson.
At intervals the audience was
favored by both instrumental and
vocal music.
On motion, the Chair appointed
the following named gentlemen a
committee to wait on the merchants
who sell liquor, with a view to its
removal from the community:
Messrs. W. C. Baird, J. B. Hen
derson and Dr. W. H. Rowland.
On motion, a rising vote was
taken on the merits of the resolu
tions. I may say it was unani
mous, tor there was not one rose to
object.
On motion, that an abstract of
the meeting be sent to Albany i for
publication.
Adjourned to meet at the IT. P.
Church, on Tuesday evening, April
7th, at early candle-lighting. The
meeting adjourned at 9.25 P. M.
The bouse was full, and the great
est order prevailed through the
meeting. It is a pleasure to see so
many manifest an interest iu so im
portant an undertaking, and, it
mistake not, Brownsville will not
, 1m hnMnd in its endeavors' to iceeri
May tl&.qatfUuu be agitated to
such an extent in our laud that
those who are under the dominion
of his satanie magesty will see the
terrible gulf into which they are
hastening, and rid themselves, by
one grand effort, of his grasp, be
come sober, upright and law-abiding
citizens, and regain the p'aces in the
affections of those around them
which they forfeited by the wine
cup, and be instruments in the
hands of God of saving others from
a drunkard's grave.
C. C. JACKSON, See.,
The above letter was handed in
last week, but was mislaid and
forgotten. This is the reason it
did not appear in our last issue.
Ea
Plrasant Occasion. The
Erodelphian Society of Albany
Collegiate Institute gave and enter
taiument to their friends on last
Friday evening. An invitation
was extended to the public to at
tend, and although there were
meetings of other societies on the
same evening, there was a fair
attendance. As usual, the exercises
were first class, the music, both
vocal and instrumental, was
especially excellent. The young
ladies certainly proved themselves
worthy and deserve the praise so
Universally bestowed upon them by
all present.
The April number ot Wood's
Household Magazine, now upon
our table, well sustains its reputation
as a first class live publication
While its contents are not deep or
scientific, its pages are free from
trashy, sensational stories, aud are
full of bright sunny reading that
goes home to the heart. The mag
azine contains its usual number ot
illustrations, and its general ap
pearance compares favorably with
the higher priced magazines. Sub
scription price one dollar a year ;
with chromo Yoskmiir one dollar
and a half. Subscriptions may
begin with any number. Address,
