Of all lecturers and those who address them
selves to the Understandings Of their audience,
for the purpose Of inipattng intelligence in
plain manner, are very liable 10 be misunder.
aied or complained of as dry and pfosy.
Those who attcnd lectures TO be delighted with
bumor, or norid style, land such suppose
you neon by "usuala udences,' , will he very
apt to tire with plain style II not very short
And | rather guess they would be tired,
whether short or long, with plain talk Of any
Kind. But l am not sure that "usual au
dienccs" should be consulted In establishing n
rule on such subjects. If anything Is worth
being done at all, II is worth being well done
and good story is worth telling Quito the end.
There is m economy in the management Of
such matters, that warrants the taking up Of
sufficient time As in this case l had come
ten miles to give you the lecture, and q very
respectable number Of apprcciativc ladies and
gentlemen had come out of bad evening, to
hear-not me, but the lecture. Was it not bet
ter TO take up forty or fifty minutes extra, 10
make it as complete as possiblcg I think IL
was; and the audienee, by their careful and
close attention proved this to be true Still
felt the force of the custom of usual au-
dences," lind you felt the effect of il upon me,
as it drove me to try and shorten the time, and
thus read too fast TO ~ agreeable, either to my
self or tic audlente. dcprecate the popular
style of lccturing that has come in vogue, as n
very improbable one, and hope II will be re-
formed There is no reason why the nation
should be tired out, with set of self appointed
orators, who pcrambulatc the country repeat
ing, at a good round price, well committed
Grafton on some one subject, without any pur-
pose of giving infcrmaton-to the exclusion,
as unpopular, of those who really have some
thing to impart in the way of intelligence. l
am very happy in the reflection that am not
dependent upon lecturlng as a calling; and yet
l confess to feeling delight in telling, either in
| print or from the stand, something that think
will entertain or instruct others and on this
account regret the taste for a style of lecture
that does not profit the public in any degree
proportioned to what it costs, and that has
schooled usual audiences" to overlook the
value of what they might learn, in their impa-
ticnce of staying long enough to hear it. But
must exOnerate the audience | had on the
evening of the l4th, from the application d
your term "usual." They were tirst-rate listen
ers, and you know that is u golden quality in
audiences.

STRAws The earnestness of Four Paincsville
namesake on the railroad question, has been
taken by some as an indication of the scnti-
ment of that locality, for the competing line
with the Ashtabula project, and in that quarter,
we suppose, as we'll as in this, this earnestness
has also been taken as the measure of the proba-
bilty and success of an early completion of the
road
Some of this class have even held the two
Telegraphs up in contrast and reached the
conclusion that our comparative retlcence upon
the subject, was evidence that we were suffer
ing our interests to be run away with by our
occidental neighbors, Well, as has been the
case with some of our cooler friends, we have
looked on, not without interest, to be sure, to
see what all this vigorous effort was to bring
about, knowing that if a road over Chardon
hills was inevitable, may be it would do no
good to oppose it, II, however, it was without
foundation, and all this show only whistling to
keep the courage up the thing might taper off,
and like the baselcss fabric of vision, leave
not wreck behind" The tone of the last few
numbers of the Panesville Telegraph has had
very soporiic and quieting effect. The brusk
and bristling confidence of its earlier articles,
seem to have somewhat given way, and the
form of cntreaty appears to have taken its
place. Instead OF jostling and defiant air towards
comp etitors, attention is turned 10 the work OF
uniting its friends and bringing them up TO
something like an adequate idea of >" the situa-
ton" The argument " 1t is now or never
so patheticallY and bescechingly used, is good
enough for home use, perhaps, but to outsiders
whose interests run In a different direction, and
who are watching for signs of woe and weak
ness, it sounds like the prelude to a lost cause
or at least a cause that begins to look little
shaky. The valor and confidence o! our friend
should not be permitted to ooze out at thi'
stage of the struggle There are questions Of
grave import yet to be met, that should be
yes, must be met, with bold front, to make
anything like a show, and secure u hopefu
prestige for his enterprise. The Ashtabuli
route has from the beginning, held the inside
track, and to make headway against it, has
been felt by our neighbors to be an up hill
work, taking more wind and bottom than il
consistent with steady composure and un
wavering confidence.
When we consider, therefore, the advantage
of this, over the Painesvlle route, viz. distance
grades, economy, from work already done, o
points touched, and the effect of the conviction
of this upon the minds of those interested in
lake shipping point together with the apparen
misgiyings of our cotemporary and neighbol
our friends may will redouble their energie
and confidence, and push along their favorit
measure.

Editor OF the Telegraph -
In your very friendly notice of my
lecture on the Ancient Brtons and the Druids,
you say the lecture to be more profitable to
usual audiences, should be divided into, at
least, two, which would enable the lecturer to
do better justice to himself. and to his highly
entertaining and useful subject" / dare say
that this remark is true in the main. as to
usual audiences" but fatiguing as it was to
me, to deliver lecture that occupied nearly
two hours, when laboring under severe cold,
l am not sure that it was too long, if the
"usual audiences' were more trained to be IN
strueted rather than amused. The customary
style of lecturing has become Improbable, by
being driven into the form Of popular orations,
intended TO entertain by ffowery, or at least,
flowing style Of delivery, spiced up with witt.

Projection BOYS had rather gay time on
Tuesday evening, at their hop, at the Ashtabu-
anniversary of Washington. The hall was
profusely, as well as tastefully decorated with
flags and pictures, and the lamps and lanterns
and trumpets of the department; the company
was large-some IS couple participating in the
dance; the music was by the rAfec Band,
and of course exquisite and the supper served
by landlord HARRY FIELDS, was In no respect,
below the requirements of tile occasion. Aside
from the general interest was feature not put
\down in the bills This was in the way of q
surprise and presentation to the popular fore
man of the company, Mr.. G. A. KNAPP, of a
handsomely mounted, highly wrought cane.
Some tribute of respect and acknowledgment
of his long and valuable services-having been
unanim ousy elected foreman of the company
for eight terms-was thought to be due, and the
present as fitting time for making it. AS the
party were about retiring for supper, attention
was called and Mr., Knapp, all unconscious
and unsuspectng, was button-hoed upon the
stand, and the presentation made in very
happy speech by GEO. w. DIcKERsoN, ESQ.
at its close, when the stick was placed in his
hands, foreman Knapp began to feel the tight
ness ofhis situation, but showed himself equal
to the emergency by a grateful acceptance o
the cane, excusing himself from the task o.
making speech, as not his forte, and pedging
his fidelity, as fireman, to his company an(
fellow citizens. This episode in the pro
gramme of the party, seems TO be the source o
much pleasure to all concerned.
