age" Rarely have we witnessed the Illustration of
the privileges Of vrtuous and pous old age, more inn
pressivey than in the following facts communicated
by correspondent Il The Rev. Joseph Vail, for Sc
years the pastor in the church in Hadlyme and IS
years of age, the 4th inst, preached lecture at

liens of the towns and villages through which he has
passed. As "coming events cast their shadows be-
fore," these signs may be taken index Of what
will be public opinion in November next.
