No.  16.  About  60  years  of  age.  Had  been  for  twenty  or  thirty  years  one  of
the  greatest  drunkards  in  town.  Was  very  poor,  and  a  brute  in  his  family
when  drunk.  Has  trained  up  several  sons  to  drunkenness.  Nearly  a  year  ago
he  joined  the  Temperance  Scxsiety,  and  has  remained  sober  ever  since,  one  oc-
casion perhaps  excepted.  I  fear  he  drinks  cider,  and  if  he  does  he  will  probably
soon  relapse  into  drunkenness.
No.  17.  About  50  years  of  age,  with  a  large  and  intelligent  family.  Had
been  intemperate  for  many  years  and  became  very  poor,  'rnree  or  four  years
ago  he  joined  the  church  and  the  Temperance  Society',  and  has  ever  since  been
a  sober  man  and  a  decided  Christian.
No.  18.  Was  a  great  drunkard,  and  was  very  poor.  Joined  the  Temperance
Society  a  year  or  two  since.  Had  a  long  drunken  frolic  last  winter.  I  know
little  about  him.
No.  19.  Was  a  great  drunkard.  Now  a  member  of  the  Temperance  So-
ciety, and  a  respectable  pro^ssor  of  religion.  Has  as  much  fear  of  cider  and
strong  beer,  as  of  rum.
No.  20.  About  60  years  of  age,  with  a  family,  and  poor.  I  believe  he  has
not  used  ardent  spirit  for  months.  Was  formerly  intemperate.  I  know  but
little  of  him.
