MEANS SCHOOL HOUSE.
On Saturday and Monday evenings, January let
and 3rd, we we're at McCan's school'bousc, in the
Winery neighborhood, and lectured to those who
were not too much engaged in the festivities of tho
New Year to attend. A portion of the audience
we thought might behave with q greater degree Of
propriety, but as the annoyance that came from
them was more a result Of thoughtlessuess, than
a desire to disturb others, they will probably learn
to behave better in time.
AT our first meeting some objections were raised
by Sampson King, whose opposition did not strike
US as SO strong and mighty in fact, as no is in
name. The fact of The truth is"-to quote his
own language-he wa7 all for compromise. lie
could not see that there was anything to choose
from in this world better than lesser evils, or little
DEVILS whether he wi. DO himself chosen in the
world to come be the little or big one-if either
is perhaps as yet an unsettled question.
On the second evening we had to deal with q
very weak defender of slavery, whose position wa,
at once SO wicked and SO absurd, that his friend,
excused him on the ground that he was not ex
pressing his real sentiments prcferring to give
him credit for humanity, rather than for truthful
ness.

the use of the New Garden Westinghouse, which
is at present occupied by both the Quincy and
Wilbur branches-tbe former gave their consent,
as dt also q majority of the Wilburs. This is
certainly an evidence of progress on their part,

city of the thing. 1t would be as great a treat as
was the invitation | once received from an Did

to preach for him, and his publicly expressed
thanks, after | had given to his congregation anti
slavery doctrines of the strongest kind.
STATIONS SCHOOL HOUSE.
On Tuesday evening, the 4th, we held a meeting
in a school.houso near Stratton's mill. There were
some present who could appreciate what we said
but n large portion of the assembly were either Ut
terly indifferent to the subject, or else unable tc
comprehend US, and unwilling that others should
listen to what we had to say. 1t is to be hoped
that the Dog-in'the.manger spirit so many of them
displayed, may give place to enough self.respec
to lead them to respect the rights Of others.
We expected to hold a second meeting there Oh
Wednesday evening, but as the house was to be
occupied by a literary society at that time, We
were unable to do SO. We should have attended
the literary and probably have participated in it,
discussion, had we not been somewhat unfavorably
impressed on the evening of our meeting as to ,ht
mental and moral caliber, OF some whom we would
be likely to meet on that occasion, B. S. j.
