TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
AT CANARSIE, LONG ISLAND.

NEW YORK PEOPLE'S ORGAN, N.Y., Oct.8, 1853.
 
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT AT CANARSIE, LONG ISLAND.
 
 "Carnarsie is a village containing about two hundred inhabitants, who are chiefly employed as fishermen. Heretofore this place has been almost entirely overlooked by the friends of the temperance reform; for the SWAY OF KING ALCOHOL having been unchecked, etc. Few Temperance families have removed there, etc. Mr. Frederic Peabody, of Brooklyn, have commenced holding, on Sunday afternoons, religious temperance meetings, etc.etc. "
