BELLOWS FALLS. JAN. 20, 1859.

Mr.. PERRY's LEcTuREs.-The Lee
lures by Rev. Mr.. Perry to young men
have been very Interesting and successful.
and have reflected much credit on the lee
turer. We are gratifed also to observe
that the young people of our village have
given good attendance, and we hope may
profit thereby. The church has been full
and at the last two lectures extra seats were
placed in the aisles, and last Sunday eve
ming, the last Of the course, some could not
obtain seats. They have been listened to
with the closest attention. On Sunday eve
ming, Jan. 10Th, his subject was "True Hon
or and Manliness." He introduced this
lecture with some remarks on the geology
of this village. He commenced by saying
that several thousand years ago, there was
reason for believing that the land on which
that church was built, formed part of an
Island. The Connecticut river did not then
follow its present channel, but dividing it.
self above the upper Railroad bridge, one
part of its waters poured down through the
low ground in the vicinity of the Canal and
the other part washed the outskirts of the
village on the west, southwest and south,
the divided waters meeting again near the
foot of Terrace Hill. He thought the
ground on which the more elevated portion
of Bellows Falls now stands was then a
wild and partially wooded island 1t came
to pass, he thought, during one of those
ancient years, when the sand bars and sand
shoals, gradually filling up the original chan
nes of the river lifted the waves during
high spring water, far up toward the foo
of Fall Mountain, that a very small current
of water which beaver might have dam
med up in an hour, first found its way owe
the now rocky and imposing gorge who's.
grandeur and celebrity have given the name
of our beautiful village
The speaker of course made an applica
ton Of these remarks which it is unneces
sary to repeat here, and we have given tn
substance of his remarks above, thinking
they might interest some who sometime
speculate on the subject.
THE WEATHER.-After sloppy tina,
which occurred last week, the other ex
treme set in, and on Monday morning th
thermometer again got below zero som
two degrees. We give below the observs
tons made by Asher Putnam, Esq,
Grafton, at the cold period two weeks sine,
who is a very correct clerk of the weathe
in that region. A star 90 signifies belor

and if he will take little pains to inform
himself Of the Law he will find it so, but l
thank him very kindly for the Information
he gave me in relation to there being per-
sons who had not had their discount which
they were entitled to, and will say in re-
ply that it was my intention to give every
person their discount according to the BY
Laws of the town Of Rockingham, but per-
haps through carelessness have failed to
do so if SO win say that any person who
has not had his or her discount, agreeable
to the Bylaws aforesaid, can have it by
calling on the Collector and making rea-
sonable showing for the same, any time be-
tween this date and the fifteenth day of
February next. JAMES l.. LOCKE.
Mr.. Hiram Graves Of this village, pre-
pares liniment which we think is supe-
rior article for rheumatism, different kinds
of lameness and head ache. He takes no
quack style Of bringing it before the public,
but furnishes it to such Of his neighbors as
may call for it, and as we think it a good
article in the cases mentioned, We make this
voluntary commentator.
CHESTER AcADEMY.-We would call
the attention of our readers to the notice of
this Institution found in another column.
We learn that the school is unusually large
this Winter, and its prospects are quite fiat
tering for future terms. The Principal and
his associate teacher have taken hold with
zeal that cannot fail of success.
As quite number of persons in this vii
lage have recently received engravings
from the Cosmopolitan Art Association, we
would say to them and others who have
such things, that they can get them neatly
framed by calling on MIR. Nutting at the
Organ shop.
PRoFANITY.-Mr. Perry in one of bis
lectures appropriately remarked on the sin
fulness of profanity, and venerable friend
in this village has handed us an extract
from Irving's Life of Washington, bearing
on this subject. In a general order ISSUED
to the army at Cambridge, Mass, Angus
8, 1776, by Washington, he condemns
among other vices, that of profanity, ant
says:
ale hopes the officers will, by their ex
ample as well as influence, endeavor t
check it, and that both they and the mel
will reflect that we can have very littl
hope of the blessing of Heaven upon on
arms, if we insult it by our impiety an
folly, added to this it is a vice SO mean an
; low, without any temptation that every ma
of sense and character detests and despise
it,"

We acknowledge the receipt Of a good
sermon by Rev. Geo, p. Tyler, Of Brattle-
boro, delivered last Thanksgiving day, and
well printed by George Z. Selleck.
FIRE.--A saw mill and grist mill be-
longing to Mr.. Elroy Stoddard, of West
Brattleboro, was destroyed by fire, Monday
evening last. Loss, $4,000, on which there
was an insurance of $3.50. We have moi
learned about the origin of the fire. The
light Of the fire was observed in this village

nesday evening of next week to see if the
Association will raise money to pay its in
debtedness, tor the support of the Library,
and if so, whether by assessment or other
wise. The principal question will be on
raising money to replenish the Library with
new books.
William Nutting, Jr., of this village has
made US present of neat little Grecian
painting, in gilt frame, entitled "view on the
Simplon." Mr.. Nutting has much skill as
an artist as any one can see by calling al
his organ shop.
There are spots on the sun. See DR.
