 On Saturday evening Prof. .Sjmonson s lecture took place at the Episcopal Chapel, the use of the courtroom being refused him through misunderstanding with the person ill charge of the same. Little mo- tice could be given of the change so that many who came in, not seeing the Court Room lighted, went away supposing that the lecture had been postponed.
 Prof. Simonson told the romantic old story of the Gid in a quaint way we'll suited to the subject. His quotations from the Poem of the Gid were excellently illustra- tive of it's character, and of the character of those rough times. In fact the style of the lecture reminded us rather of 8 chapter of Froissant than of the usual mode of treating such subjects. Prof. Simonson, however, pre-supposed familiarity with his subject and with the early history of Spain which we, in common probably with most of his audience, did not possess.
 - On Monday evening next, the ad- iourned meeting for forming some kind of Total Abstinence organization, is to be held at the Congregati onal Chapel. It is q question deserving of serious considera- tion, and we hope all interested in the cause will be in attendance. We fully confess that we are not inclined to favor any form of secret organization. The ob- ject to be attained is plain, and the means to be employed can hardly require the mask of secrecy. Organization of some kind, however, is necessity, if the friends of Total Abstinence desire to retain any sort of influence over the habits of the place. Those who disbelieve in Total Ab- stinence, hold all the political. and most of the social power in the village; those who believe in it are not few, but they are entirely without the union and energy ne- cessary to success.
