The address of Rev. Franklin Tux
bury, of Brandon, before the Young
Mems Christian Association, last Tues
day evening, was fine one, and well
received. Subject: The specific unity
and common origin of mankind"
Prof. Webber's address this evening
will draw a crowded house. A free
lecture on one of the most interesting
of subjects to all New Englanders, by
one whose reputation for eloquence and
intellectual power is so widespread,
must be an attraction not to be neglect

everybody to have q share In the good
things in store for us.
RUNAwAYs.-Not many evenings
since, q team ran through the streets at
break-neck speed, followed by troupe
Of boys, shouting Justify. We have not
learned that any serious damage was
done. Last Friday morning, J. Cher
bino's team passed, upon the full run,
through Weybridge street, without
driver. The horses were evidently
making for their stable. They were
afterwards captured and brought back,
but little, if my, the worse for the
wear. However, we wouldn't ADVISE
very frequent experiments OF this KIND
-Partridge's new enterprise In this

III two weeks.
SKAT1NG.--The recent cold snap has
been favorable to those wishing to in
dulge i'll this healthful exercise, and we

have prodted by the opportunity. But

think there are enough lovers of this
exLilarating sport among lis to main

the matter was only cAnvas4ed. see to
it, young men.
