| PHRENoLoGY-The people of the village of War
rem and its vicinity have been highly entertained of
late, by interesting lectures upon the important SUBJ
ject OF Entomology, by gentlemen of the deepest
research, and the most profound knowledge of hui
man nature. The audience listened for the space OF
two hours with almost breathlcss attention. They
were completely transported above the world by the
&c n,
of the orator Ofthat eloquence feel myself Who'll
y inadequate to give any thing like faithful descrip
ton. But it was so deep and thrilling, mingled with
such glowing periods, such full and melodious
voice, and such appropriate gesture seemed to me
sufficient to rouse again the spirit of Demosthencs,
or of Henry, of whose character he gave such
glowing description. One OF THE AUDIENCE
Me-. EDIToR,-What lamentabe fact it is that
the people Of this village not willing or if they
are do not seem to he, to countenance and sustain
public Lyceum among them We need one most
certuinly for the benefit Of young men, who are
wiling if the older portion Of the community would
come forward and give them their aid and assistance,
but the very who should be foremost in aiding
and sustaining one, turn away with disgust, when
The subject is presented to them. Last week these
was We II written article upon this subject, and
Thursday there was q notice posted in every con-
picuous place, that there would be meeting at the
Academy for the purpose of organizing and making
arrange ments to sustain Lyceum in this village tic
coming winter, but to the disgrace Of the people Of
the vilage, there was not except few young mem
one that should have boen upon the ground
1t has bean the case ior several winters past that
| he young men solely have sustained and kept the
Lyecums in existence, and they have reason to be-
levo, fiom indications SO far, that il is common

ing the they have come to the fixed determine
ION, that il those ndividuals who should counte-
nance and aid in sustaining one, be not present next
Thursday evening at the Town Hall, as under
stand there is to be meeting that place, they shall
abandon the idea altogether of starting this win
ter, and shall Join themselves either to the South
Farms or Bradcyvile Lyceums at which places
there are most excellent ones sustained throughout
he whole winter. Will the people of this village
suffer it to be said that their young men are under
the necessity of going abroad tina, they may receive
the benefits to be derived from public Lyccum2 |
do hope they not go far lost to all feelings local
pride as to suffer this to be said of them. SENIOR
