Lectures.

Lectures. 30 4ai4s Fl ROOFS tat
H On Friday evening last. agreea-
BILE to invitation, Judge LOWELL, of Du-
buque, delivered lecture at the Court
House in this place. to a very large and
attentive audience. His theme was the
ENGLISH LANGUAGE, and his discourse
evinced pretty thorough knowledge Of
English history and literature, and was
marked by much elegance of expression
and profusion of Illustration. He spoke OF
the almost total subyersion of the Angl-
can tongue after the Norman conquest,
and showed that while it was entirely
forgotten at court, and by the old feudal
arstocracy, it was retained by the lower
classes intact in their prayers and devo-
tional services. To the church, then,
he thought, we are indebted for the pres
ervation Of the language, as the priests,
in order to reach the hearts Of the lower
orders of the people. continued to retain
and teach them in their despised Ian
guage. He then spoke Of the blending
of the two dialects used by the upper and
lower classes, forming what is now call
ed the English language, and then traced
its progress, and the influence upon it
of the writings Of CHAucER, SPENCER,
MILroN, and others. Finally he spoke of
its present position. Twenty five mil
lions of beings in this country, and thir-
ty millions under the flag of England,
now speak the English language, being
larger number than is known to use
any other dialect. It's spread. too, is un-
paralleled. The inherent energy of the
Anylo-Saxon race is carrying it into all
lands and among all nations, and it pros
elytes rapidly. Already the white wing
ed messengers of American and English
commerce were found upon every sea !;
and on almost every inhabited island, and
in the interior recesses Of almost every
country, Anglo Saxon men are found. and
the Anglo-Saxon idiom heard. In con-
clusion he read LYoN's excellent poem on
the English language. and at the close
was heartily applauded.
On Saturday evening next, Judge Ia
Dor will deliver tho last lecture of the
Independence Course. and will conclude
the subject of Intidel death bed scenes.
He will also, TO some extent, discuss the
subject of the Noachian Deluge. He
proposes to take up the stories concern
ing the deaths of YoLrArRE and HUME.
and will dispose of them, by means Of
CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY. as effectually as
he did of that concerning the fabulous

Hungarian Grass Seed.

II Gsy Wilcox has just received twenty
bushels of very fine Hun arian Grass
Seed, which he will sell low. This crop
wherever properly tested, is held in the
highest estimation, and there is no dcub
that it will in a few years be regarded as
indispensable to the farmer as any of the
cereals. 1t grows very rapidly, will pro-
duce two crops year, may be put in
after the hurry of other planting is over,
yields largely ofstraw and seed, both Of
which are eaten with avidity by horses
and cattle, which thrive well upon il
alone. Let our farmers test it, and we
shall be much mistaken if they do hot
re-echo our praises of it.

PROSPECTUS OF THE PRAIRIE FARMER
FOR 1865

INHE Prairie Farmer is the leading Agrieul-
i tuml paper published in the Northwest.
1t holds that honest labor is the foundation of
all lasting prosperity, and that the working
man should be enlightened. honored and re-
warded. The labors of the Prairie Farmer are
divided into three departments.
/. 1t strives to teach the best methods of i'm
proving the farm, its SOIL its buildings, its pro-
ducts, its live stock, its convenience and its
comforts.
H. 1t believes that fair prices for farm pro-
duets are just as essential to the farmers pros
perity ms large crops and fat cattle. 1t labors
to help him to secure the best market for his
products, and to prevent the middle man from
taking too much toll for his services. se
III. 1t labors to enlarge his stock Of ideas,
to improve his understanding, and while avoid
ing partizan politics, to teach him true political
economy.
In addition to vast amount of agricultural
information. the columns of the Prairie Farmer
give the news of the day, both home and foreign.
The variety is such, that family need take no
other city paper, and vet be well informed on
the current events and topics of the day The
art of eondedsing is rractised, by which a great
deal can be given in small space.
One portion of the Prairie Farmer discusses
farming; second gardening, a third mechanics:
fyurth household economy: a fifth the markets,
very full and accurate; a sixth local news, AMI
news by telegraph and mail; seventh devoted
to interesting literary matter, and an eighth To
educational topics forthe young; to all of which
is added large number of excellent, practical,
and instructive communications, ON various
topics each week. The Praire Farmer has a
larger circle of contributors than any other agri-
cultural paper in the United States.
