LECTURE AT EAIRHAvEn. Editor
Herald: The citizens Of Fairhaven were
favored with a lecture, an Wednesday
evening, The 4th inst., from Miss NJ. Nj.
Everts, sister Of the Rev. Or. Eyerts Of
Chicago. Miss Everts has resided fifteen
years in Alabama, Louisiana and Ken
tucky. s
Miss Egerts' lecture on ssthe South is
interesting and instructive. Her des-
criptis MS Of the country are graphic-her
illustrations of life there are striging-
her facts about the peculiar institution
are simply stated without the least ap-
pearance Of exaggeration-her thoughts
and comments upon them seem fair and
Judicious--her observations upon the con-
trass between Northern and Southern in
stitutions and civilization, manifest much
good sense and thoughtfalness. Her
words are well chosen, her style clear,
and delivery pleasant. The lecture is
designed not only to please, but also to
do good, by making us in the North bet
ter acquainted with the real life and man
ners Of our fellow citizens in the South,
who have caused 50 much suffering and
bloodshed in this foul and wicked rebel
lion against our good government to their
own hurt. This lady's talents as lee
turer should not be hid because she is q
modest female since the best and great
est fitness in man or woman to do any
thing, is ability to doit we'll.
