THE OLD SAXON LAw.--It may not
be generally known that the familiar
custom nowadays Of calling leap year
the grand opportunity for ladies to OBJ
tain husbands, sprang from an old Sax
on law which gave the gentler sex the
right to pop the question" and the
men no right to refuse her proposition
according to the rules of good breeding.
The law ran thusly: "Albeit, as often
as leape yeare dothe occufe, the women
holdcth prerogative over the MEME In
matters of courtshipe. love, and nIatri-
hiohee; so that when the Iadie propo-
seth 1t shall not be lawful Cor meme to
say her nae, but shall receive her pro-
posal in all good ccurtesie."

HENRY VINCENT AT WATERLOO
Henry Vincent, the distinguished
English Orator and Rcformer, lectured
last Friday evening at Waterloo. w,
improved the opportunity of listening
to this eminent speaker, and although
not willing to accord to him the com
pliment of being the greatest Twins
orator, as has been said of him, We car
but justly pronounce 1t one of the mos,
interesting lectures that was ever oul
privilege to listen to.
His voice is somewhat husky and no,
strong and full, and yet he possesse.
great power as an orator, and at once
impresses his audience with the fact
that before them stands man of SUI
perior culture, type Of the middl,
classes OF England, among whom are
Bright, Golden, and many Others OF
those liberal minded reformers.
His style Is varied, touching all the
points In his original and singular way
of sparkling wit, burning sarcasm
pathos and earnest feeling. His sub
ject was "Oliver Cr0mwelln-the times
In which he lived, and his struggles
from obscurity up to the topmost round
Of the ladder of fame.
His peroratlon was grandly eloquent,
where he alluded to England and
America and was received bv the audi.
ence with immense applause.
A writer truthfully affirms, that Il is
quite impossible to analyze Mr.. VIM
cents power as an orator, and IL Is quite
as impossible, we think, to give our
readers an intelligent idea of the power
and great value of such lecture to a
reader Of English history. He is a
finished scholar and an unfiinchix
adherant Of the principles of justice
and liberty.

When the books were transferred by

urer on the first day of January last no
report was made and the present in
cumbent simply receipted to the ex-
treasurer for all money turned over.
