TIsseJss of the inhabitants of Etchfsld who were sof prsssnt It MT. c. c. Woodmsns politi- cal speech, st the Court House on Tuesday eve ming lost rare treat. Those who were there enjoyed it immensely. Thespeaker's high repu- tation and the recollection of his last years visit filled the Hall with gentlemen, long before the opening of the services j" and we may say his unusually manly appearance and graceful bearing brought out . large representation of the fairer sex, than are accustomed to attend political gath erings, and ol were rewarded.

Everybody and their wives were delighted, and the universal opinion was ex- pressed that MT. Woodman should come again. Such speeches are . good thing to have in the country 1!
