prevented my hearing the first lecture,
but the last one heard with interest and
pleasure. It exhibited extensive research,
careful collation. of different narratives,
a nice discrimination between fact and
fiction, and just award upon the merits
of the heroic men who fought SO bravely
in the only battle waged on the soil OF
Vermont during the war of the Revolu-
ton
Before the opening of the lecture, the
Hon. P. w. Hyde was chosen chairman
for the evening, and after the close Messrs.
III. L. Grose, S. ID. Williams and Brad
shaw were appointed committee to de-
wise some plan by which a course of lee
lures or readings, on various subjects,
could be secured, and made free to all
persons who might wish to attend.
1t is expected that Mr.. Hall will
lecture again on Friday evening, Oct. 10.
Subject, The Travels of the Apostle Paul.
Last Sabbath was memorable day
for the Baptist church in this village.
One of the richest toned Estey Organs
had been substituted for the old organ,
which for years had aided the service of
song in the sanctuary, but latterly had
sadly failed to give satisfaction. The pew
instrument, which / think can safely
challenged comparison, was first brought
into use in the morning worship. To say
no more than that all who heard it were
pleased, would be tame and jejune. 1t
was admired alike for the sweetness of its
tones, the brilliance of its expression, the
rapidity of its action, and the compass of
its power, all made evident at the pleasure
of the organist. At the close Of morning
worship the church was called together for
the transaction of some business which
could not be deferred, and Deacon James
Williams took the opportunity to say that
he made a present of the organ to the
church. All were taken by surprise, and
tears of gratitude moistened many an eye.
The pastors voice was tremulous with
emotion, as he undertook to express the
gratitude of the church for such a munif-
cent gift. How truly noble it Is when

Lady Byron's Name and Lineage.

The writer of "Table Talk" In the London quar-
dian supplies the following information:-
Everybody Is asking Just now who Lady Byron
was and how she came to be known also as Lady
Wentworth. She was, as most people know, Miss
Augusta MillbanKe. the only child Of Sir Ralph Mil
banke, baronet, oil Seaham Hail. county Durham.
Sir Edward Noel. baronet, who in 17i5 succeeded
his cousin, Martha Lovelace in the ancient barony
OF wentworth, and was subsequently created Wis.,
count Wentworth This latter title became extinct as
the death Of Thomas, second vi5cOunt in 1916, when
Sir Ralph and Lady Millbanke succeeded to the
Wentworth property, and took IN consequence tho
name of Noel, as also did their daughter aud her
husband. At the same time the bar0ny OF Went
worth fell into allegiance between Lady Mi;!Danke
whose death without issue In 1856 terminated the
allegiance, and the barony fell to Lady Millbankc's
only child, the wife of the poet. She lived to enjoy
the title only about four or five years. Though
when young she inherited an ample fortune, 1t Ii
mistake on the part Of Mrs. Beecher Stowe to sag
that IN her declining years she had 20 country
seat near Lond0n.' she lived at one tim0
at Ealing, and eventually purchased small
house III st. Georges terrace, adJolnng Priln-
she died In the year 1880 1861. The half sister Of
Lord Byron, whose name turns up so unhappily in
the recently published notices OF Lord aud Lady
ByrOn's married life and Is there mentioned a.

poets father BY his first wife, Amelia dArcy In her
own right Baroness COnyers, who had herself been
divorced from the Duke of Leeds She was born
January 20. 1888. and was consequently older than
the poet by just four years In 1907 she married
goons, by whom she had Issue. She died la N0yeu.

was much In the company OF Shelley, and that their
society was cOngenial inasmnch US Shelley was
proiessed defender Of incest and notably in tho
"lsevOlt Of Isam," which WAS written mainly with
that very purpose. Surely greater stuff was never
written. The morality OF That poem Is intensely
high and pure and from first word TO last there Ia
not the remOtest aliusiOn to- much less defence OF,
incest Nor do believe that either Byron or Shelley
had any more sympathy with incest than Tennyson
Browning. What Shelley thought Of 1t may be
gathered from his "Cenci" The fact Is, the narrow

competent TO appreciate DO just TO either OF tnoso
