Le(MURK or Yule EMILY PAMITULL.-13vieg en-
gaged by the committee of the Young Moos Christian
Amostattoo, this armouiplished lady delivered her
lecture on "Th. Best Society," at the Townhall, Ware-
ham, on Thursday evening last. The fact of a lady
being amionneed to deliver a lecture would of itself
attract • crowded audience, but that lady being Mims
Emily Faithfull, we were not surprised to see our
handsome new Towreliall crawled with the elite of
Wareham society. All the principal families in the
town were largely represented on the evening in ques.
lion, so we need Del give any names. All, however,
agree in thinking that the Wareham Yoang Men's
Christian Association deserves the warmest thanks of
those who can enjoy a really intellectual treat such as
that which was afforded on Thursday evening last.
The audience was composed of ell classed of society,
and the fair lectarer did not fail to keep the attention
of all dratted for somewhat more than an hour. fler
TOW° is very pleasing, her manner perfectly lady-like,
sad her enunciation most beautifully distinct, every
word being heard with the greatest ease in every part
of the room. The chair was taken by W. J. Pike,
Beg., who briefly introducied the lecturer. It yr ry soon
appeared that books formed "the best society" or the
lecture. Mies Faithfidi began by drawing • very
striking °entreat between this best 'Gaiety and the best ,
London society. This society forces itself upon no one, '
neither 10011 it exclude any one who desires to enter
into it. It is true that in the present state of educa-
tion and refinement this satiety is exclusive, but it is
the man that excludes himself from it, whereas in the
best town society, inquiries are made as to family,
antecedents, kn., and admission or exclusion, as the
0380 may be. is the result. In the *ogres of her
remarks the lecturer dwelt upon the advaatages of such
• society, and quoted Lord Bacon's dictum that "some
books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and
some few are to be digested." That is, some books
should be jest looked Into, Gone read, sad some 'rue-
fully studied and animilated. A very strong and just
protest was mitered against the prevailing habit of
novel reeding, and the announcement made with sor-
row that while in one of the principal circulating
libraries of London ten copies of Fronde 's History were
enough to satiety the demands of eaquirers, five hundred
did not stay the clamour for Aurora Floyd. or Lady
Aulley's Secret. But the lecturer was far from con-
demning novel reeding iA Lola, or all novel writers.
She remarked, by the way, that ladles were the prin-
cipal producers of bad novels, but an exception was
made in favour of "George Eliot," whose Silas Marner
should be read by every one. A fitttng tribute was
paid so the worth of that greatest of novel writers of
the present century.the late Cherie' Diaries. The value
of poetry too was dwelt upon in eloquent terms- The
lecturer went to remark that as in matters of taste in
dram. ko., people generally consult the first human
society, so for the purpose forming the best opinions
on the various subjects, political and otherwise, which
exercise the minds of men, we should consult the best
society of literature. What crude notions are now
put forthuon the subject which is jest at present
occupying the minds of all--ednestion. What; elarnoun
and wrangllnp bewilder one on this subject. These
crude notions are alined opinions, but they are not
worthy of the name. In order to form opinions we
should consult the best moiety. In aesordanee with her
own adrift, the lecturer coasulted Ruskin, who*e
assertion with regard to the three requisites of educa-
tion she quoted with mach epprovaL "Every one
oaght to know where he is, where he is gossip, and
what he bed better do under the eireserastemoes." She
also quoted largely from that man at whom his enemies
have thrown enough stones to build his monument and
enough mad to oement them. A word was said in
favour of technical education. The lecturer concluded
with an eloquent explanation of whet should be the
end of all reading, the nalleenient of the mind and the
elevation of the character.—At the oonclimion the
Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer,
and the hew. S. B. Taylor seconded it in a few appro-
priate remarks. The chief charm of the lecture ap-
peared to no to be the high moral tone, the pure strati•
went, which pervaded the whole. We do not say that
anything very new or very striking was mid in the
course of it, but could not help feeling that the lecturer
had • high, a pure, and a true moral feeling. There
was nothing like cant or sentimentality in it, but, if
we may be allowed to perpetrate a pun, it was • most
"Faithfull" lecture- We are requested by the seer.-
lazy (Mr. W. J. Davey) to @sprees his thanks to all
who were present for their kindness in thus supporting
the effort to provide high-clam lectures. So en-
couraged, the committee hope to arrange for other
lectures of the beet kind during the winter.

A melancholy such occurred here oa Friday to Mr.
Thomas Redman, jam., son of Mr. Redman, grocer, of
liouth-street.lt appears that young Mr.ltedman had been
suffering from dominion of spirit% and wan under the
care of Dr. Willcox. As he showed symptoms of an
unsound state of mind, his friends kept • strict want'
over bin actions. Throughout Wednesday night he
appeared much worse, he was restless and laboured
under the delusion that some one was attempting to
form an entrance into the house. Ile continually asked
bin father to go down and see who it wee. As he kept
urging this, his father promised to comply with hi,
request if be would remain quiet. This was about seven
o'clock. and Mr. Bedmiut proceeded down stairs hoping
it would satisfy him. On returning in a few minutes he
was alarmed so find him in an adjoining bedroom on
tit., floor, apparently In groat pain. It we. dimoveriel
that he had swallowed • quantity of ammonia which
wan in • bottle on the window board. Dr. Willeox.waa
: immediately called in, and administered antidotes but
without avail, for, having lingered in great sgony until
the following day, he died. An inquest was held on
Saturday morning before S. Bennett, Reg:, coroner for
the borough, and a respectable jazy, of which Kr: C.
Yearaley, was foreman. Dr. Willcox gave evidence as
to his death having been from the effects of strong
ammonia, and produced so empty bottle labelled
"strong ammonia--poleon," which Mr. Davey, assistant
to Mr. Randall, proved wee his handwriting, and was
nap plied to Ries Redman., for ehilblains. From Mr.
Redman's evidence, it appeared that when the poison
was takes it we. the usual time for him to take the
medicine ordered by Mr. Willcox, and he supposed
demerit meet have fancied he had 'admitting to take,
and tbm committed the fetid mistake of swallowing the
ammonia. After 'Deferring together, the jury returned
an a verdict "That deceased died from the effects of
taking ' strong emunocia ' whilst in an unsound eMte
of mind." The lad event has mist • gloom orer the
