MEMORY LECTURE.-Thc Lecture of Prof.
Armcs, on Monday night, at the Congrega-
tional church was attended by an intelligent
and apprcciative but not very large audience,
on account Of the storm. Illustrations OF
tlemen was as marvellous rs II was surprising
and puzzling to the uninitiatcd. The science,
whatever Ii was, was "welghed In the bal
ancc" and not found wanting. The results
Of limited attention to the subject seemed
to be more than months Of study In the ordi-
nary way could have accomplished. An
honorable gentleman present, well known In
this city, took occasion to remark that he
had taken lessons Of Mr.. Armcs many years
ago, and the information then obtained was
invaluable. We see class Is TO be formed
