0F The Lecture Of Rev. u. NJ. Martin, OF
Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening last, al
Wards Hall, was a splendid affair, and we are
sorry that the weather was SO inclement as to
deprive many, who otherwise would have been
present, from hearing this brilliant production
The subject, Libraries" was rather looked
upon, beforehand, as a dry uninteresting sub
ject, but it only shows how any theme in the
hands of the gifted can be wrought out into
beautiful proportions. The lecturer, after a
short history of the origin, extent and progress
of Libraries, dwelt upon the power and schcye-
ments of the mind showing the i'm oortant mis-.
sion of books in developing, enarging and ex.
panding the intellect, aud sending man on in a
holier and more ennobing career.
Do not forget the Lecture Of Rev. ]. T.
Gracey, tonight. Subject, The Odd in Lit.
erature and Life"
The eleventh Lecture of the course, will be
delivered by Rev. VIM. c. Robinson, of Dover,
on Wednesday evening next. 23d inst. Sub
ject, Joy" This announcement will be gra-
tlfying to Mr.. Robiuson's host of admirers 10
this town, and we can confidently bespeak for
him on that occasion well-flled house

{ The MEXICAN NEws is unusually important.
Zuloaga abdicated the Presidency on the I'd
inst, in favor OF Miramon. The latter, imme.
dia'ely on his assuming power, arrested all the
political prisoners liberated by Robles, turned
adrltt all the officers who took part in the de-
position OfZuloaga, suppressed the forced loan
ordered by Robles. and then commenced prepa-
ratlons to march against the Constitutionalists
at Vera Cruz with force of FIVE thousand men.

had succumbed TO the menaces of the French
and English squadrons The high tariff was

The Wing movement in Virginia is

Wise and Hunter divisions, and the char

The Treasury Department has notified
the executors of the late Col. Benton Of
a judgement against the deceased, rem
dered in 1925, in favor of the United

pay bills owing for necessaries furnished
to the family Of the deceased.
