A State Temperance Convention will be
held here tomorrow; it is expected to be a
grand affair. Governor Gardner will pre-
side. There will be a grand rally of the
friends of Prohibitive Legislation in the eve-
ning.

Dr. Rock repeated his lecture on "the
Unity of the Human Race" on Friday eve-
ning, before a highly intelligent audience --
There is still a demand to hear it, and he
has consented to repeat it again on next
Friday evening, without charge. The Tele-
graph says that one of its exchanges says,
"he has recently thrown his attention to
public speaking, and his wonderful talents
as a speaker have astonished all who have
heard him." We will try to avail ourselves
of the next opportunity, and go and hear
him.

On Thursday, the joint Legislative Com-
mittee appointed to present to his Excel-
lency, Gov. Gardner, the address adopted by
both branches, met at the Speaker's room,
and proceeded to the Council Chamber,
where O. W. Albee, the Chairman, address-
ed the Governor in these words:

"The Joint Special Committee appointed
by both branches of the Legislature to wait
on your Excellency and the Honorable Coun-
cil and present their joint address for the
removal of Edward Greeley Loring from the
office of Judge of Probate for the county of
Suffolk, now have the honor to submit to
your Excellency the said address, and re-
spectfully ask that your Excellency, by and
with the advice of the Honorable Council,
would be pleased to grant the prayer of the
Legislature."

His Excellency replied as follows:

"Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:--Be pleased to announce to
your respective branches, that their address
for the removal of Edward Greeley Loring,
has been received, and that is shall receive
the earliest attention of the Executive De-
partment of the Government."

The Committee then withdrew.
