After prayer, by the Rev. .Doctor MoPheeters, a very neat address was delivered by AVilliam Seavell, Esq in which the design and practical results of Temperance Societies were handsome ly explained. In the course of his remarks, Mr. S. 6tated the astonishing fact, that the quantity of Ardent Spirits annually sold in this place amounts in value to ten thousand dollars.

The boldness of this talented disciple of Capt.
