much pleasure, that J. SULLIVAN ADAMS, E,q :,
will comply with the request of his brethren of
the Odd Fellows and Rechabe orders, to de-

Mr. ADAMS is a clear-headed, cool and prac-
teal man, and we promise our readers an EN-
phatlc and intelligent expose of his views Of the
California mania, if they will listen to his Lee
ture on Tuesday Evening next. We have had
the pleasure of one brief interview with him,
since his return, and have entire confidence in
his ability to interest, instruct and amuse his
audience. II he will "talk" with them as he
did with US, they will see little daylight
shine upon the California delusion.
We trust Mr.. ADAMS will be invited to
give us more than one Lecture on his observa-
tons and experiences, to and form California;
He is an acute observer, and what he saw in
Centr al America might form the topic of a
Lecture that would be, we have no hesitation
in saying, in the highest degree interesting in

the mining region, in Northern California, and
is quite competent to sreak of it ntelligently.

The Bennington Flint Enamel Ware.

Our readers will find, on our first page, a
notice from the n Y. Tribune, of the FLINT
ENAMEL WAR, manufactured by Messrs
FENroN s. LYMAN of Bennington. We have
heretofore spoken Of specimens of this beautI-
full manufacture that have fallen under our oh,
servation and many of our friends have seen
samples of it in our office. Its beauty is en-
HANGED by its obv us durability We copy
the follow from the Tribune, not only be-
cause we take pleasure in aiding to give noto,
riety to this admirable ware but more particu-
larry on account of the impor,an fact it notices
in regard to the character Of the enamel empioy~
ed in the ma ufacturc Of articles OF ordinary
domestic use. The common metallic enamel,
by the contact of acids, is more frequently and
extensively rendered poisonous than is gener-
ally dreamed of; and Messrs. + NroN & Ly-
MAN are entitled to the highest praise for com
pounding an cnam | that not only cannot be
dccomposod by acids, but is harmless, if i
should be thus dccomposed Not one Of the
various metallic bases of ordinary enamel, (all
of which are more or less poisonous,) is used
in the finishing Of this ware. We invite the
attention of our readers to the article from the
Tribune.
