of the cause of Temperance, is included the
.Anacostia Total Abstinence Beneficial Suc.
ety." which was established July, 1643.


This Society has already been rendered ex.
en,ively useful. Its object is two.fold, as its
aane imports Il aims al the suppression of
lniemperance. and extends relief to sick and
Disabled members, by pecuniary aid, and by
personal services and attention. By the ope-
rations Of the Society, strong bond Of union
is created, and iis members s,on learn TO feel
hat they are, in deed and in truth, members of
co'1mon brotherhood. Ia this latter respect,
we claim kindred and affinity with thousands
vi other societes, bearing other and distinct
Games, but aboring in the same spirit, TO pro
mote the virtue and happiness of society.


The Officers of this Society are, JOHN
O'NEALE. President; JOSIAH ADAMS. Vicr
President; JosEPH WALSH. Secretary; HENRY
G. MURRAY, Treasurer--wiih three Directors
md three Stewards. Stated meetings are held
monthly. and special meetings as occasion
may seem to justify.


May this Society, with all others aiming to
promote the same, or similar objects, continue
to preper, until the world is relieved from all
the evils Of intemperance /; and man, redeemed
from iis thraldom, shall 60 forth in purity and
peace, 10 the accomplishment Of that high des.
tiny 10 which Reason and Revelation both
invite him. ]. w.
