The Lectures.

The course Of twelve lectures commen-
ccd here in December last, arc completed
and It'll but re-iterating what all who have
attended have already acknowledged, that
the course as whole, has been successful,
aud adecided public benefit. The commu-
nifty has also patronizcd them WELL The
Hall has been so full OIL each evening that
some could not be accommodated with seats
AT first, few were disposed to find fault,
not because of what had been done, but
because q license had not been first obtain
ed for doing what every body wanted ac-
complished and only few cared who did il
or in what particular groove the machine
RIM. This is small matter, however. and
is one Of those perplsxing inconvenience
attending all small villages, where each
man, if SO disposed,can walk out any morn
ing and find out what all his neighbors have
for breakfast, or what tailor makes their
clothes. The most aristocratic of aristoc-
racics, is that of seven by nine villages ;
and the greatest hindrances to good neigh
borhood understandings, is your Village
lawgivers" in politics, religion, and social
position. But these remarks are thrown ii,
parenthetically, and perhaps had better no,
have been written, and certainly not, unless
they have tendency to correct some evils
which distarb the peace and harmony OF
those who should be friends.
The subjects discussed, embraced quite a
range of thought. The biographical dis
cussions have preponderatcd. The lives
Of Wilbcrforce, Randolph. Dante, Nil,
ton and Adams, furnished acceptable
themes for lectures. Popular Rights, His
tory, The analogy.between Geology and
the progress of the race of Man, Idolatry,
the Lessons of History, Reading, or What
shall we read, and the History of Slavery,
have been also subjects that have been dis
cussed.
All these have been good, and each one
has had its admirers. We find that all do
not judge alike of the same effort; there
are some who judge accurately, even quite
critically, while others do not show much
discrimination in their opinions. But upon
the whole we have gaineda point by these
lectures. We are better off for them,
every way.
We understand that something more
than hundred dollars remains, after nav.
ing all bills. Financially, then it has been
success.

Physical Culture.

We work the brain too mitch and the
system too little. From emily morn 70
aewy eve we plan, scheme, retolve in the
mind, without never Il respite. Think,
think. is the rule, Of what We shall eat,
or what we shall wear, or what new scheme
we shall enter into to better our fortunes,
or what new device we may get up to
compass rival in business, or politics; or
what new plan we cad invent that will
permit us to reverse the primal law Of
God-by the sweat Of the face We must
eat bread. So We begin Monday morning.
so we end on Saturday night Of each week.
We become carc-worn, STOPPING, slow Of
pace, gray-haircd, hard hearted, indiffer-
cnt to any and every body else, outside of
self or Of those with whom we arc imme-
diately connected. Gods green earth has
no peculiar charms for our business i'm
mersed souls, and we hardly know or care
whether water runs up or down hill
From this isolation and sclf-ism, from this
constant working Of the mind without re-
taxation, md constant draft on our time to
perfect our little schemes Of every day
life, comes ruin Of the health and prsma-
turc decay. For the ten years past We
have been almost daily observer of tho
men and women of our village,and it seems
when instituting comparison between
these two points Of time, aud the changes
which it has wrought, that it il work Of
twenty years. But few men Of middle age
walk erect; but few men Of this age can
pass successful examination at the En-
rolling Board at Belfast. Why all this
premature decay! Why not possess the
robust health Of an Englishman Why
not liyato a ripe old age, enjoying all the
time good health! 1t must be because We
care nothing for that education which gives
strength, health and vigor to the bodily
powers and organs. If We would drive
dull care away, cure the dyspepsia and tine
blues, we should let the mind have rest
ing time, and all 60 and join in tho classes
that are practicing gymnastics We should
arm ourselves with the 'cluhs," rings"
and "bells," and better ourselves by bet
tcring our health.

One division of the Sixth Corps was re-
viewed Yesterday by the commanding Gen

weeks old, for which paid $500. Said
pig on the 18th OF March 1864, brought u
litter Of pigs, which sold for s2s, Co.,
The first of September following, che had
second litter Of 9pigs. which were sold
for $3.50. The 5th of February 1865,
she had a third litter of : pigs, which wero
sold for s36.50. Total sale of pigs $500
cash. Thus it will be seen that in 10 3-4
months she had three litters Of pigs. l
think it will be admitted that the amount
is very handsome income on the amount
invested to wit /: $500, for 90 months. as
| consider the SOW worth now as much as
her keeping has cost me over and above
what milk and swill made about the house,
which would be Of little value, Excepting no
dog,) for any other purpose. l dare say
there are many others in the county that
can tell bigger pig story. This pig has
not been very prolific one. but has been
very fortunate in taking care Of what pigs
she did have. not losing pig from the
three filters. Had l known the state of
the market for pigs, l might have sold
them for ten or fifteen dollars more.
