FROM the Christian Messenger.

A DEEPLY AFFLICTED FAMILY.-Mr. Johr
Varnum Of this town Peacham) has recently
buried four children. They died with the
Giptheria. that terrible disease which has
proved SO dreadtully fatal in many cases
They all died within about four weeks. The
first one a son, was fourteen years; the sec.
oDd, a daughter, twelve ; the third and fourth
daughter and son, twins. sixteen years old.
They have two sons in the army. Ooe sick
in the hospital with fever. How sad and
desoIatc must family be, marked with such
mortality and Vacancy. Surely such are in
deed the deep waters Of affection. May the
grace and salvation Of God be abundantly
Impaired to parents, remainiu children and
riends. And may they all cherish a good
hope of heaven. l. Lebanon.

SrEINGF1ELD VT, Nov. 9th, 1862.
Nix EDlroR,-Wil you permit me, through
your columns, to speak Of the lectures dcliv-
cred before the Students Of Springfield Yves
leyan Seminary and Female Collegiate H.
stitutc, by Rev. S. H. Colbarn.
His Lecture on Elements Of National
Greatness though not what might be called
brilliant was logical and deeply interesting.
As Lecturer, MIR. Colburn is not to his
audesce as lovely song Of one who has a
pleasant voice. and can play well upon an in.
strumept, pleasing only the ear, for he deals
Ia thoughts more than in tropes. Thoac who
love to th!ak, however, will be highly e]6ed
in listening to him.
His lecture on The War and cxhib;tion
with Magic Lantern ought to be repeated in
every town. The views are fine, and with the
lecture, give very correct idea Of the Great
Rebellion. Perhaps no better recommendA-
ton can be given it than the fact that at It's
second delivery 10 this place, though the evs-
mag was very rainy, toe Town Hall was wc}
flied. N. c. DEAN.
