the winter course to be given by the Helena
Library Association will be delivered On
Thursday evening, Feb. Ith, by the Right Rev.
Daniel S. TuttIe, Bishop Of Montana. Al
though we are not informed in regard to the
subject, selected by the gentlemen for the oc
casion, vet we are fully assured, from his past
efforts, that this will be the greatest intellect
uai treat ever enjoyed by our citizens. Mr..
Tuttle is one of the finished scholars of the
day, n gentleman of thorough research, pro-
found and logical thinker, possesses rare
abilities as a writer, and will bring to any sub
ject he may select all the beauties of a schol'
arly taste and the knowledge garnered during
n lifetime of study. The memory of his ad-
dress upon the "Life and Character of Wash
ington," delivered in this city q year ago,
still lives in the recollection of our citizens
to highten an anticipation as eager as its re-
alization will be complete. The benefit and
pleasure 10 be derived from this course of lee
lures is Incalculable. 1t is ;he intention of
the Association to select gentlemen of edu>
cation and culture to delive. the series,
and we doubt not that they will create such
an interest in the community that will ensure
a course each. succeeding winter. We shall
avail ourrelves of m oppor tunity to refer to
this subject hereafter before the beginning of
the course.
