KIRKPATRICK S REVENUE BILL

This has been discussed at great length in the Legsa

AN OBSCURE VILLAGE FAMOUS AND For
GOTTEN IN A FoRTNIGHT. The people OF
Charlestown never had a telegraph office
located in their midst, and had never heard
the short /" click, click" of the instrument,
until the John Brown affair occurred to
bring their town into notice. Then the
metropolitan press extended lines there from
Harpers Ferry, and an operator was sent on
to open an Office. Charlestown was then
brought into communication with New
York. But AS soon as Old Browns trial was
concluded, and the sentence of death passed
upon him, there seemed to be no necessity
for the telegraph, and so the operator closed
the office and departed, leaving the people
of Charlestown naught but the memory of
the past importance of their village. -a

The LECTURE SEASON is approaching, and
we hear frequent inquiries as to what our
Library Association is doing in the matter.
The Corresponding Secretary Informs us
that they have been busy corresponding with
public lectarers, and that in few days they
will be able to announce the course.
We understand that Ex-U. S. Senator
Foote, of Mississippi, has been engaged to
open the course, probably on the Sd of
December. Mr. Foote is one of the most
distinguished of our public. men, and the
Library Association is fortunate in obtain
ing him for the opening lecture. He will
draw a crowded house. The lecture COM
mittee thinkthey will be able to present
the best course of lectures ever given in the
city, and they rely upon our citizens to
purchase sufficient number of season tick
cts in advance, to pay for the course, in or
der to insure the Association against loss.
We believe our people sufficiently appre-
ciate good lectures as to extend to the Lii
brary Course liberal patronage
