The meeting of the Ltchfeld County Temperance Society was held at New-Preston agreeable to ad- iournment The meeting, though small, and the coun- ty but poorly represented, was highly interesting to the friends of temperance. And while benevolent hearts seemed to be depressed and borne down in view of the hopeless condition of the drunkard and the little progress made towards complete triumph, their attention was directed to the sovereign remedy the perfect antdote-in able, interesting and e oquent address, embracing and following the prn ciple of total abstinence from all that can ntoxcate

 The following resolutions were introduced, discus sed, and laid to be acted upon at the next ing to be held in HarpintOn, on the 4th Tuesday in June. Meeting for business at 10 o'clock A. M.

 ResolUed, That the prosperity of the cause of Tenn perance demands that the pledge of total abstinence ent pledge of the Litchfeld County Temperance SO- ciety.

 ResolUed, That the Temperance reformation is by the county meeting considered of vital importance to the people of the county, and it has wonderfully pros pered up to October, S36 and much of it's prosperity IS ascribed to its officers, who have been men that were able faithful, and very punctual in their atend ance on county meetings. But it is evident that the cause is not going forward as formerly. What can be the reason? We fear that there is a neglect on the part of the officers for in attending county meetings, we find no officers, no papers, but few delegates, ap- pointing President and Secretary pro tenn.
