DR.. Storrs delivered second lecture last
evening, under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association. His theme may be de-
fined to be the Saxon element in English MS
tory. Robin Hood, as represented by the lee
turer, is not merely the merry outlaw OF the
ballards, but partisan chief hghting ior ilo-
erty as truly as Ethan Allen or Marion; the
central figure of wide and spreading reDeI-
lion against arbitrary power when pointed and
led straight to Magma Charta ana constitution
al liberty. The Saxon element in English char
acter furnished the instinct of personal liberty
which in religion protested against the Papa
the popular movement for moral and intellect
ual freedom which Robin Hood, a century be-
fore, had sustained to the mtv ement for politi-
cal liberty. The lecture itself was full of the
robust manhood which it celebrated, vigorous
in diction, utterance, and action, fit words fifty
spoken, manly speech adapted to an age which
has seen manly deeds
AMONGST the many improvements that have
been made in this city since the fire, the store
of Messrs. A G.. Schlotterbeck & Co., 303 Con-
gress Street. ranks undoubtedly among the
first. The beauty and unity of arrangement
are unsurpassakle; the good taste and manner
of fitting up store of this kind, is better than
has ever been displayed in this city or State
before.
For the accurate compromising of prescrip-
tons this firm has made special arrangements,
by placing second counter for this branch Of
their business, directly back Of their serving
counter, whereby the customer and the COM
FOUNDER of the prescription are SO far apart as
to make conversation difficult. This gained,
mistakes are easily avoided This is something
that has been needed for a long time, and we
congratulate our fellow citizens for this place
of safety as far as medicine is concerned
Chemicals which change by the rays of light
acting upon them, and deeomposing the same,
are kept in bottles of pure glass, which protects
them and preserves them most effectually. An
enterprise of this kind, with a choice stock of
patent medicines, fancy goods, &C., as this firm
has on hand, they cannot but meet with the
success they so much deserve.

Mr. EDIToR:-A the meeting of st. Steph-
ems Church, the Rector stated that he promis-
ed those who gave him the $4,000, that not
one dollar should be expended to rebuilding
the Church in the lower part of the city.
