 WoLCorT LfARARx AssoCIATroN.--Ths long promised and often dsfszrsd Lecture of Rev. IT. Richsrds, was again postponed on Thurs |dsy evening Int, on account of the death of Mr Richards' fathsr Tho Committee. howsv- T. not being willing to again disappoint those who had purchased tickets, ,and made arrange. msnts to attend the Lecture, applied to MT. Gould for one Of his Shaksperian Readings. MT Gould .ocedsd to tie request, though it came tat fhe slsventh hour ' and rsad OrHrL 10 to ! good house. Ws suggest to all those whs proposs to attend the subsequent Read- ings of Mi. Gould, whether for the Library or tho Soldiers' Aid Association, that they mako |s point of being promptly in their seats.- Those who came in on Thursday evening. after the Reading had commenced, not only lost | part of the play, but (what is far more impor- tant) disturbed the whole audience by their entrance, and the incidental hustle connectsa with it. The Readings are advertised to com msnee pnnctually at 8 o'clock, which certainly seems late enough to toacconmodate all. 1.-the audisaeA are tardy in their arrival, it.necss- sarjly makes the Beading clsss very late. "A word to the wise,'' &c. SoLDIEas' ArD Assoc1ArIos--By reference to cur advertising columns, it will be seen that Mr. Could commences this evening his Course of Readings fonths benefit of this most meri- torious Association. No subject could be pre- sensed to the notice of our people which has T stronger claim on their liberality. and we trust that the response to this appeal will com- pare faverably with what has been done for our soldiers in other towns of the State. The play selected for the occasion is JuLlus CE- SAB, and we have no doubt it will be rendered by MT. Gould in [ style corresponding to his other Readings. The Raadingsxill commence at 8 o'clock.
 Miss MARy PIERcE.-The death of this ss- timable lady, although she had attained an age passing the limit ordinarily allotted to human life, has startled our citisens by its suddenness, and spread a gloom over tho neighborhood, such as has rarely been witt messed in our history. Thsrsis not left inthe village one of her surviving relatives. yet there is not one person rbo will not mourn her loss. Miss Pierce is native of Litchfeld, and, during her long life, she has identified herself with the interests, the institutions and the people of the town, to m extent certainly not surpassed by any.of her predecessors. or late she has stood nearly alone among the ven. erated and beloved personal land marks of the locality, end her departure from the scene of her usefulness leaves . blank that must re- main unified. Her monument alone will oc-. cupy her place, but that monument will consist of materials more durable than marble. The memory of he. good deeds. of her blameless and exemplary life, and of her large and en- lightened bensyolsnce, will be handed down, embalmed with the tears of those who knew her. and the blessings of those who shall cone after her.
 In our notice. last week, of Mr. Gould's Book of Autographs, we mis-stated the num- Der of signatures contained in the volume. We stated the number at one thoasand-we should have said, over Jour thousand.
