" HOLIDAT RAMBLES IN WORM( TNICLII" formed
the subject of a most interesting and instructive
lecture at the Corn Exclaims. on Monday evening last
in connection with the Dorchester Lecture Society, by
Mr. John ?ricCalL It may be remembered ibis
gentleman formerly lectured at Dorchester on the Zulu
War, when his expellent descriptions and pretty views
were the source of considerable pleasure. Texas is a
land comparatively unknown to the inhabitants; of the
Old World, and one rarely selected by holiday
ramblers or lecturers • but that it is a highlpdavoured
country, and one which, when opened
.up. will prove
Itself to be of considerable importance UM com-
mercial world, cannot be denied. Time lecture was
Illustrated by some excellent photographs, by means
of which Mr McCall carried his audience with him
throughout his travels. On arriving at New York
many of the principal buildings and other features of
Interest were Illustrated and graphically described.
Philadelphia, Washington, and other cities of the
United States were also touched on before proceeding
to the State which was his principal topic. His views
of Texas ilia were very beautiful, and his language
that only of en extensive traveller, and one who has
hienseN witnessed the peculiar characteristics of the
country he is describing. He showed Texas to be •
land,though decidedly not perfect so far as the mina
details were concerned, still as productive and as
highly favoured by Nature as any In America or in
the world. The staple productions were fully dwelt
up= —its cotton, sugar, maize, and wheat, besides the
even more important raising of stock, hone " ranch-
ing," and the immense sheep and bog farms. He fully
proved that while it had its vicious, immoral, and
reckless members of the community, still, 83 far from
TUNA being the land of the bowie knife and pistolling,
It was mainly occupied by an industrious and law.
abiding people. At the close the lecturer very kindly
exhibited -some Canadian and home views, which were
highly appreciated. Mr. Alfred Pope took the chair,
and there was a good attendance.

KTAWOILISATION OW ITALY. A lecture was
announced to be given, with magic lantern views, on
the Evangelisan of Italy, at Gloucester-serest
schoolroom, no Tuesday evening. The attendance
wet but small, and the lecturer occupied a good deal
of time with the preliminaries. He regretted that he
had to be lecturer, exhibitor, and chairman, as there
was no pastor at Gloucestsretrest Chapel, the Rev.
W. Lewis itsd an engagement in the country, and the
