TuE LECTURE or GEORGE p. BEARD A. NJ
last Wedn, sday evening was fairly attended
H9 had for his theme, q" Sweet are the Uses oil
Adversity."
The lecture was well written, scholarly pro |
ducnon and reflected much credit upon Its au
thor. II was perhaps, to our mind, somewhat
redundant. IN the ideas expressed barring this
fault it vas an essay Of a high order OF excel
encs.
The occasion was much marred by the NOISY
exit Of several young Americans OF foreign e1
traction, VINO evidently thought that they bad
GOT into the wrong place. Nor was the disturb
ance confined 10 these alone but two or three
persons, who we presume considered themselves
ladies and gentleman, instead OF listening TO
the lecture, or quietly Withdrawing from the
hall, 50 far forgot the prophecies aud common
courtesies Of the occasion as to conduct them
selves in such manner as to prevent those who
desired to be benefited by the lecture from hear
ing and enjoying it. We hope that means will
be taken to guard against such unseemly and
annoying occurrences in the future.
