use so considerably, to visit the house
of Rev. A. A. Smith on Thursday eve
ming, Jan. 3Oth, leaving his family
gifts which with few that could moi
wait for that evening, amounted to
over $lO0-more than three fourths

the esteem shown by their numbers
AID cordial words of friendship.
LEvEE AT BARToN.-The ladies of
the NJ. E. Church and society of Bar
ton, held levee at the town hall on
Thursday evening of last week, which
was quite successful. About $125,0G
were raised, not so much as there
ought to have been from the crowd
present and the tempting articles dis.
played for sale. An excellent supper
was prepared and eaten with hungry
relish by many.
We must tender our thanks to the
ladies for the pretty moss wreath pre-
sented by them to our good deal :" bet
ter half" May they all live long en-.
ongh to give "us" another.
THE LECTURE.-The lecture given
by Rev. ID. a. Mack on last Friday
evening in the Methodist church in this
village, was good one, better than
the average of lectures that one hears
in the country, Notwithstanding many
are disposed to sheer at it. Had ex
actly the same thing been delivered by
Henry Ward Beecher, the same per
sons wo'd have been in the realms of &c
stacy. One thing however is true of
it: his subject and his lecture are MOI
so much as fourth cousins to each 9th
or. This can be remedied.
FIRST OF THE CoURsE.--Prof. San
born of Dartmouth College will lee
ture in this village on next Monday
evening. This will be the first lee
ture of the course of six arranged fol
by the association. We hope the lee
lures will be we'll patronized by all oul
citizens,that they not be so contempt
bly, penurious as to refuse the mere
pittance required of each to supper
them. Public lectures from the elias
of men that have been engaged ar
just what our community has Away
needed. Let US turn out and hea
them and for one evening in the wee
at least, think of something else be
sides money. Buy family ticketn
for $1,OO.
