After th? 1 initiation, at our last meeting, stirring and impressive speeches were made by . mern hers of the Division, which were listened tb! with deep interest. Dr. Burt. Mitch ell, who is eh earnest, efiloient worker of , the Order, made a speech on the subject 'ot degradation; delivering himseif of sohle incontrovertible truths, which were received with considerable favor. Rev. Mr. Ervin spoke ol the social evils of in- ? temperance with becoming interest. His \ words were pointed and forcible, end. no doubt will be long remembered by those ?, preeent. T > hist speaker . was Master Willie Kcavon, whose noble, manly ! efforts reflected much, credit' upon him* ' keif. Hia speech was delivered tu an eloquent manner, and was received with considerable pleasure by his audience. The Division hat appointed two brothers tb speak st the nest meeting; Messrs. Dudley Reed and J. R. Ponneh Thia is a good move, and will add1 much to tho \ interest of the meetings. . Divisions gen erally would do well to adopt this plan, at.leaottry it. 1 RUSTIOUS.
