TaE LECTURE on TURKEY at the Court House
4st week by the Rev Mr.. Arms of Nicholson. The

H ill therefore the attendance was not large. The
,etond evening, being beautiful mOonshiny one,

;mall, but higey respectable audience was the
suit. Our people did not seem to take much inter

Frank Phelps show was quite well attended. Put
Ills and that together.
On THE WING, this being the last day Of March,
syerybody and his wife, with their numerous Off

The old adage says that "a rolling Stone gathers
"a moss" But we have noticed that families who
move are pretty likely to get their worldly goods
\ and chattels into the biggest kind of muss.
