Temperance Celebration.— The Marlboro' 

 llotiil, wl.irli lias lonf; lifeii known as one of the 

 most 'coniinodioiis pnhlio houses in the centre of 

 Ihis city, has heen lately purchased by a compa- 

 ny of f;entlemeii, and fitl<-d up and Cuinishod in 

 the most elcf^ant style, for tlio acconimodution of 

 f)b«rdcrs ami travellers. The bar room has been 

 Bbolished — and all tlie arrangements have l)i;en 

 niiide on the principle of total absiinence from all 

 iiitoxicatinfc liquors. This hotel is leased to Na- 

 thaniel Rogers, whose oblij,'.ng disposition, ami 

 gentlotnanly deportment, are well know i to the 

 frequenters of the " Eastern Stage House." It 

 was thrown open to the publie yesterday, for the 

 first time under the new arrangement — ami the 

 friends of temperance celebrated the occasion and 

 liic 'lay, by an apiiropriate fe.stival. About 200 

 persons were present, all of whom can bear wit- 

 ness to the neatness and order of the establish- 

 ment — and the excellence of the culinary arrange- 

 ments, as proved by the capital dinner provided 

 for the occasion. Richard D. Fletcher presideil 

 at the table, assisted by John Tappan, Moses 

 Grant, and John Benson, as Vice Presidents. 



After thecloth was removed, a number of toasts 

 weie drank in pure, spa; kling iced water — which 

 has lately been ascertained to be the great secret 

 of prolonging life, that was so long and perse- 

 Veringly sought after by ancient philosophers and 

 chemists. A number of odes and songs were 

 sung with capital etT'ect — and addresses, charac- 

 terised by much poignant vvit, eloquence and cor- 

 rect moral feeling — were made by a number of 

 the guests ; among whom were, the President of 

 • he day — Rev. Dr Pierce of Rrookline — Rev. Mr 

 I'iorpoiit — 15. F. Hallet — Rev. Mr Colmaii — Geo. 

 II. Snelling — Rev. E. T. Taylor — Stephen Fair- 

 banks — .Moses Grant, and others. Indeed this 

 celebration proved in the most plain and satisfac- 

 tory manner, that when the heart is right, and 

 the blood circulates freely and healthily in the 

 veins, there needs no artilicial stimulus in the 

 shape of brandy and winea to produce hilarity, 

 wit, sentiment or song. 



Among the Odes sung on this occasion, with 

 4>ajnia\ efi'uct, was the following: 



ODE, 



IBT BET. JOHN PIEBPONT. 



In Eden's green retreats, 



A water-brook, tha< played 

 Between eol't, rntissy st'Ms,* 

 Beneath a plioie-lree'sf shada, 

 Whose rustling ieavea 

 DancBil o'er its blink — 

 y/as Adam's drink, 

 And also Kvb'b, 



Beside the parent spring 



Of that yiiung brook, the pair 

 Their niorningr chant would fling ; 

 And Eve to dress ln;r hair, 

 Kncol on the grass 

 That fringed its side, 

 And make its lido 

 Her looking-glass. 



And when the man o( God 



From Egypt led his flock, 

 Tlipy thirsted, and his rod 

 Sniole the Arabian rock. 

 And forth a rill 

 Of water gnihcd, 

 And on llicj' rushed, 

 And drank their fdl. 



Would Eden thus have smiled 



Had wine to Eden come? 

 Would Horeb'a parchmg wild 

 Have been refreshed with rum? 

 And had Eve's hair 

 Been dres.-ed in gin, 

 Would she have been 

 Reflected fair? 



Had Moses built a still, 



And dealt out to that host, 

 To every man his gill, 



And pledged liun in a toast. 

 How lar^e a band 

 Of Israel's sons 

 Had laid their hones 

 In Cauaaii's land ? 



" Sweet fields, beyond " death's flood, 



"Stand dressed in living green;" 

 For, from the throne of God, 

 To freshen all the scene, 

 A river rolls, 



Where ail who will 

 May come and fill 

 Their crystal bowls. 



If Eden's strength and bloom. 



Cold Water thus lialh given. 

 If, even beyond the tomb, 

 It is the drink of heaven. 

 Are not good wells, 

 And crystal springs 

 The very things 

 For our HOTELS?

 maternal courage, as a recent occurrence. A 

 number of Catamounts had come over the Mich- 

 igan boundary, and Caused great terror among the 

 farmers. One of them entered the window of 

 Mr Israel Hawkins, which had been left open, 

 while his wife was engaged in an adjoining room, 

 and crept to the ciadle, where a babe, six months 

 old, was sleeping, before he was discovered. The 

 mother, on perceiving him, seized a brotid axe, 

 which lay upon the hearth, and commenced an 

 attack. The first blow stunned without injuring 

 the beast ; he recovered, sprung u|)on the woman, 

 and throwing her down, tore her left arm severe- 

 ly. She contrived to raise herself upon her knees, 

 with the animal clinging to her, and struck a sec- 

 otid blow. The edge of the axe penetrated the 

 skull, and laid the monster dead upon the floor. 

 Her husband came home shortly after, and found 

 her lying prostrated and exhausted with the Cat- 

 amount stretched at her feet, and her two eldest 

 children weeping over her. The woman was 

 considerably injured, but the account stales that 

 she is recovering rapidly. Iler arm and side were 

 liadly torn, but she has received no dangeous 

 wound.
