A Fling Retorted,

Mr.. EDIToR:-The present students of the
Vermont Medical College, as we'll as many
gentlemen Of the first standing in the various
professions and occupations in this place and
vicinity, listened to "Dr. Thayer's Introduc.
tory Lecture" with great pleasure, and we
trust, no small profit. The close attention
given, and the unmistakable indications Of
entire satisfaction as the auditors retired
from the lecture-room, led US to infer, that
no exceptions would be taken to the address
1t has been remarked by several gentlemen
present, who have heard the many excellent
lectures which have been delivered in thi.
Institution, that better one, TO say the least
both in matter and manner, has not been
heard. The appreciation of those best quail
fed to Judge, has been earnest and unquali-
fed, so far as we know.
But alas! we are doomed to disappont-
ment; for, within few hours, newspaper
has been put into our hands, containing q
fling at DR.. Thayer and his lecture, unwor-
thy the editor Of the Standard, unless, by
some recent luckess experiment, this modern
"Sampson" has been shorn of his most
puissant locks,-if he is not unfavorably
affected in the organs Of vision. At any
rate, mis- taste is at odds with any other per-
son who heard the lecture, and his canting
criticism or sl,lr is at war with the ndiscrim-
mate praise bestowed by the .Age and the
Mercury.
The ungentlemanly fling, of the 9Th inst
10 which we allude, is contained in the fol-
lowing words. which although it Uhe lee
ture) smacked slightly Of The academy in style
OF composition and delivery, it was, on the
whole, appropriate, discriminating, practical
and satisfactory" Now, had the fastdous
editor said, in plain terms, that the Professor
was psdantic in his address, and exhibited an
ostentatious show Of learning and school-boy
oratory, we could bear itwith more patience
because, though unfounded in fact, the mis-
judgement would wear the appearance of a
manly criticism. Nor will it mend the mat
ter, to remind US, that the pedantry was said
to be "sHght," both in style and delivery
or, if so, in the editors bnk-eyed view oil
it, why mention such trJqing defect since,
as a whole, the performance was appropriate,
discriminating, practical and "sattyactOryF
II it were all this, so much the greater shame
to give it the dab in question.
