 D In our last paper was published the proceedings attending tho formation of the Litchfed County Tenn perance Society. A moro particular account, it ap. pears, wNs made by the Rev. Mr. Bates, in which he gives the substance of some of the addresses delivered on tho occasion. This account was forwarded to tho editor of the "Journal of Humanity,"-a proof im- precision, however, in anticipation of the paper, has been returned to this paco-and we have been TO. qucs,od to publish it in the Enquirer.

He believed that the mind was better thermometer of the effects of ardent s,;r;,s m the animal system, than flesh aud blood EEe found that when he had suffered exposure, and need any ardent spirit obviae the effects of such exposure the next day he was incapacIated o attend so fine labours of his study that he was in the habit of imnusing such incapacity the fatigue and hard ship suffered the day previous but that c trying the experiment of depending the efforts oF nature to obviale the effects ot fatigue, his incapacy to resume mental labours did not exist he invariably found that
