Ex-Gov. Ramsey. The speaker was most
enthusiastically received and commenced his
remarks in peculiarly happy mode by OBJ
serving. that he believed he had not drop of
New England blood in his veins. He thought
that the old Puritanic fathers did not evince
the character for shrewdness which their de-
scendants justly lay claim to, in having set
tied upon bleak and desolate coast, when
there was so much good country in the
world. But he was proud to say that the
sons of the Pilgrims had found it out, as
shown by their emigration to this country in
such great numbers. They were right well
come, for Minnesota was "a home for ALL"
After the regular toasts were disposed of,
several volunteer toasts were read and re-
sponded to by various individuals present.
The time of adjournment having arrived -
IL o'clock-so as not to interfere with the
Sabbath, the company broke up by singing,
standing, that old familiar tune of "Auld
Lang Syne."
It is to be regretted tnat the time for the
festival was so short, as the speakers were
limited in their remarks, and many good
one was cut untimely short, and many 9TH
ers would have been made had the speakers
got an opportunity to have delivered them.

This appropriate Annual Festival waa
generally observed by our citizens in some
shape or other; though by many in fashion
not OF New England origin. In accordance
with previous notice, O union meeting of the
various Protestant Churches of our city was
held at the First Presbyterian Church, and
the Annual Discourse delivered by Rev. Mr..
RrHELDAFFER, of the Central Presbyterian.
The Address was truthful, chaste and elo-
quent, and we hope to be able to lay it before
our readers on Monday morning. At ths
conclusion of the services, collection was
taken up for the benefit of the suffering
poor, amounting to the handsome sum Of
Sis.
The Union BENEVOLENT Association which
had been partially organized on AIondaY
evening at the NJ. E. Church, and adjourned
to meet at the First Presbyterian Church at
this time, was now called to order by B: r:
Hoyt, Esq, the temporary President.
MIR. J. Nicols, the temporary Secretary
read the proceedings of the last meeting
and Constitution which had been reported
at that time. The Constitution provides
that the officers of the Association shall con-
sist of President, two Vice Presidents, i
Secretary and Treasurer, and six managers
or directors, who shall hold their Office for
one year, and who togather shall form the
Executive Committee of the Association Il
also provides for the holding of the annual
meeting during the week of Territorial
Thanksgiving, and for the formation of aux
iliary associations in each of the wards, to be
composed of ladies, for the fartherance Of the
objects contemplated by the Society.
The officers of the Society for the ensuing
year were then elected as follows:
Prssident-B. F. Hoyt.
Vice Presidents-Alex. Ramsey, L. Dayton.
Secretary and 1reasurer-John Nicols.
Directors Richard Marvin, A. II. Cayen-
der, W. R. Marshall, j. w. McClung, Orlan-
do Simons, D. A. Robertson.
Some very valuable suggestions were Of
fered to the meeting by different persons
which will undoubtedly receive the proper
attention Of the Executive Committee. One
of these we deem especially important and
very practicable which was that there be
some place established as a depository of
cast-off garments, which might be distributed
among the needy under the direction of the
Executive Committee. It was stated that
there was no doubt large amount of CLOTH
ing of this description in the city, which the
owners would gladly bestow.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson of the Scandinavian
Church, instanced two or three cases which
had come under his personal observation, Of
great distress from poverty.
There was much earnest desire felt and
expressed by many of the members that the
Society might be able to accomplish its pur-
pose.

The changing of the place of delivery of the
Historical Society's Lectures, from the Bald
win school building to the First Presbyteri-
an church, appears to have one good effect at
least-that is the attendance of many more
people. Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather on Friday night, and the gene
rally prevailing impression in well informed
circles that the lecture would be bore, the
house was we'll filled by the literary taste
and fashion of the city. Unfortunately, the
Committee only secured the church positive
ly, at a late hour on that day; and conse-
quently the room was but imperfectly
warmed and lighted when the audience ar
rived. Nothing of this kind will be allowed
to occur hereafter, as we are authorized to
assure the ladies and gentlemen of St. Paul.
But of the Lecture: We did not attend
with any expectation of hearing anything
very new or strikingly interesting, and
we were not disappointed. The importunate
manner in which Mr.. Guernsey-an entire
stranger here, preceded by no reputation as
lecturer almost forced his services upon
the Committee, afforded very proper rea-
Son why men of good sense and judgment,
who are always modest in their pretensions,
should distrust his ability. We believe,
then, that the initiated portion of the audi
ence, was not disappointed in the man, the
matter, or the manner.
Mr.. Guernsey's subject-s'The Romance
of Chivalry'-was a noble one, if he had
only possessed the ability to handle it prop
erly. He did set out with some very fair
philosophical remarks, more directly upon
the romance of history than upon the ro-
nance of chivalry; and we felt for a moment
that perhaps we were doomed to be disap-
pointed after all. But the speaker soon ran
off into very commonplace critique upon
the characters of Don Quixotte and his man
Sancho, which occupied two mortal hours in
its delivery! The portion not taken up in
fulsome and pathological panegyrics upon
the genius of Cervantes, was in the main
made up of extracts from the work under
| uirCuSolOu VI QuOtdClOuo uOu Oi0IiIS uiShOO
European and American critics upon the
work..
Tons the whole concern was dull and pro.
sy; lacking originality and zest; and what is
worse, it was most miserably delivered-the
speaker having neither presence, grace, voice
or any other oratorical gift before popular
audience. We would advise Mr.. Guernsey
if he ever again succeeds in getting chance
to read this lecture, to have mercy on his
hearers, and stop when he gets halfway
through, or else 60 to work and shear his
work of some of it's garbage. But this las
operation might prove entirely fatal to hi
bantling, as the pruning knife once put t.
work could scarcely find stopping point
short of utter humiliation.
Next Friday evening w. L. Banning, Esq.
of st. Paul, will lecture before the Society
at the same place. Subject: "Patrick Hen
y." Mr.. B. is gentleman of fine literary
tastes, which have been we'll cultivated; ane
we may expect on that occasion something
worth going to hear.

The Herald correspondent says General
Whitfield upon hearing of the outbreak in
Kansas, called upon the President and asked
him not to send U. S. troops to Kansas, OF

PER1LoUs Position OF THREE MrN.-As
three Irishmen, named David Gleason, John
Barry and Timothy Crowley, employed in
the erection of the New Glasgow Mills, at
South Hadley Falls, Massachusetts,, were
returning to Holyoke on Monday evening
from work, in row-boat, when near the
dam an oarlock gave way, and they were in
stantly precipitated over the dam, distance
of about twenty feet, near rock, to which
they clung. All efforts to rescue them failed
until about 9 o'clock, when, after being in the
water four hours, they were taken off by a
boat manned by seven men. None were Sc
riously injured. Theirescape is providen-
tial.
