MEssRs. EDITORS: At meeting held last
Sabbath at Mr.. Caleb Birch's school house, in
Alexandria county, by the United Brothers Of
Temperance of Washington, addresses were
delivered by brothers J. c. Watson, of George
town, J. H. Hilton, Lemuel Newman, John
Paradise, Thomas Arnold, and Thomas Hilton,
of Washington. A number of temperance odes
and hymns were sung; and the result Of this
meeting was fifty-four signers to the pledge.


This, think, was one Of the best meetings
we have ever had in these parts. The friends
have appointed another meeting, to come off
on Sunday, four weeks from the last meeting,
at o'clock, P. M. We hope the Brothers,
and all other temperance friends, will make it
a matter of conscience and duty to attend this
meeting, as great and effectual door is now
open to do much good. Come, brothers, we
need your help; yes, we would send up the
Macedonian cry" Come over and help US, !"
and the Lord will reward you for your labor of
love and philanthropy.


I have just been informed, that the Union
Total Abstinence Society, Of Fairfax county,"
held meeting at the Falls church on last
Sabbath, which was we'll attended the United
Brothers from Washington were there also, to
help forward this good and glorious cause. 30
ladies and gentlemen signed the pledge at this
meeting. The president of the society, Rev.
Mr.. Lipscomb, in the name, and on the behalf,
of the society, returned thanks to those of the
United Brothers Of Washington, viz: DR.. VIM.
Matchett, Rev. Ulysses Ward, and L. S. Beck,
ESQ.,, for the aid afforded them at this meeting,
and extended cordial invitation to the Bro.
theirs, and all temperance friends, to attend
their meetings as often as possible


am yours, &c. GREAT FALLS.


P. S. The Union Total Abstinence Society
will hold another meeting on Sunday after
