Temperance Nesting in the Grore-Hospi


tally Of the people.


On Saturday afternoon, several members o
the Grand Division Of the Sons of Temperate,
Of the State of Maryland, together with other.
from subordinate Divisions, proceeded to Eli
colts Mills, according to previous arrangement
for the purpose Of forming Pa,apsco Division
No. IL, Of Maryland. On their arrival they
were met by number Of genllemen and es
corted 10 their quarters and in the evening
proceeded to the Union Factory, in the neigh.
borhood of which suitable room had beer
procured, and the Division was formed in ac.
cordance with the usages and forms Of the
Order. The following gentlemen were elect.
ed and installed in office: Reuben P. Ham.
mond, w. p; John Armitage, w. A.; D. A.
McJilton. r. S; w. H. Farrer, A. s. Ezekiel
Mills, F. S.; Joseph Low, T.; Richard Lys
hear. c.; Thomas Gosnell, A. c.; Benjamin
Casey, |. s.; William Whalen, 0. S. This
Division, we are pleased TO say, has made a
most excellent commencement, and from the
spirit evinced on the occasion. and the favor
its formation met with from. numbers with
whom we conversed, we have no doubt they
will in very short time swell their ranks 10
hundreds.


On Sabbath morning the brethren repaired
to the several different churches for the pur-
pose of worship, and at the invitation of
friend we visited the Methodist Episcopal
church, under the pastoral charge of Rev.
Aquilla Reese, we'll known and dearly beloved
by many Of the citizens Of Baltimore, to whose
spiritual comfort he has ministered while STA
toned amongst them. 1t was the first time
had the pleasure Of listening to this gentle
man, and it is scarcely necessary to say that
was deligh,el with the matter and manner OF
his discourse. Mr.. R. is pleasing speaker
possessed Of strong, rich musical voice, and
on this occasion, at least in my humble opin.
ion, handled his subject in a manner which
proved him TO be possessed of talents of high
order.


At two o'clock in the afternoon very large
number of ladies and gentlemen Of The village
repaired t.. beautiful grove in the rear OF
Mrs Disney's hotel, where it was announced
temperance meeting was to be held. he
meeting was called to order by r. P. Ham,
mond. Esq, and an appropriate and fervent
prayer offered by Rev. Mr.. Reese, when g. c..
Collett, the practical reformer, from Baltimore,
was introduced to the audience, who addressed
them in most powerful manner On .he evils
Of in,emperance, reciting at the same time
what he had suffered from the use Of stimu.
la,ing liquors, and then again reversing The
picture and holding up to view the grea, ben
efts which had resulted 10 him and his family
by abstinence from everything that can ialoxi.
cate. His pictures were true ones, and drawn
TO the very life. He closed with powerful
appeal to those present to sign the pledge.


DR.. Snodgrass next took the stand, and in
his usual amusing, entertaining, and convinc
ing manner, proceeded TO address the meeting.
His remarks were Of varied character, all
tending to the advancement Of the cause in
which he has been SO long and so successfully
engaged. He devoted portion of his remarks
to an explanation Of the principles Of the Sons
of Temperance, and the benefits secured &c
each member by his connexion with them.


Rev. MIR. Reese then arose, and after few
remarks dismissed the meeting with bene
diction, and thus ended the proceedings of The
day al Ellicott's Mills, SO far as the Baltimore
ans were concerned.


In conclusion, permit me to say'a word O,
two in regard to the hospitality and kind a,,en
tion Of the brethren at Ellcott's Mills 10 those
from Baltimore Every thing was done ant
great effort made to render their stay agreea
bic, and tha, they succeeded I am satisfied
from the general expression of pleasure ane
satisfaction BY all, at the agreeable and happ,
hours spent among the sous and daughters o
the noble Patapsco by their friends from


BALTIMORE.
