Lectures.
The week we were out of paper a
course of lectures in St. Cloud were
begun. The first was by c. &. An
drews, Esq Author of" Minnesota g.
Dacotah." His subject was "Read-
ing" and his manner Of treating it
proved him not only a reader but q
thinker. Tn the choice of authors he
gave prominent place to Macauley
and Dickens. Tc which we heartily
subscribe. EIe exhibited a fine ap-
prociaticn OF the poetry Of the Bible,
but, we thought, erred il the position
he gave that book in his order Of ar
rangenent. This book although most
reverently spoken Of was not first in
order in his s':1ection. A. more rapid
delivery would add much to Mr.. An
dreWs' fame "s a popular speaker, as
his addresses are always more valua-
ble tor the matter. than the manner.
The, second lecture was by Rev.
Calhoun, on "Hats, Gloves and
Shoes" We were not present, but
those who were, were greatly pleased.
The address abounded in capital hits
on the tyranny Of fashion, and in ear
nest vindication Of individualism.
The third evening Rev. inman was
expected to lecture, but did not APP
pear, and the audience were suffici~
emily amused by L., Jones, Esq,
gentleman of very eccentric habits.
who arose and protested that the two
former lectures were mere utilities,
and that as Messrs. Andrews and CAL
|.oun were both present they should
be permitted to redeem their lost re-
putation. His pleasantries were re-
coived in good part, and the audience
retired in the best hu,nor.
