Prof Hltchcock's Lecture.


Village Hall was filed on Thursday evening
last at early hour, the occasion being lecture
by Prof Hitchcock Of Dartmouth College on
" Life above the clouds, OF Mount Washington
in md.winter"
The lecture was preiaccd with statement Of
the reasons for undertaking the expedition to the
White Mountains in the winter Of ls70-7l. The
physical character Of Mount Washington was
peculiar the observations could DO telographed
to the press daily; interesting photographs views
could be obtained and it furnished a fine field
for full meteorological observations, which would
provo great advantage in compiling weather
reports and predicting probabilities. The
love Of adventure was also nbundantly graft.
fed.
The most common question asked H., how cold
was IL The average temperature was degrees
above zero. A " cold snap" occurred in Februa-
ry, lasting three days, when the thermometer
staid down at i0s below zero, and the wind blew
at the rate of 100 miles an hour. As ii is we'll
known that the wind makes the cold more severe.
he believed that the Arctic explorers never suffer
ed as intense cold as was experienced on the
mountain Within the house it was warm and
comfortable Prof lltchcock's description OF
winter life on Mount Washington was quite in
tcresting.
The views shown BY the Siere1pticon were Of
the mountain ranges seen from the summit. The
beautiful frost and snow formations, the oceans
and bergs Of cloud that were daily observed, and
many objects Of special interest. At the concu-
sion Of Prof Hitchcock lecture. the exhibitor
showed views Of Rome, Of Rogers statuettes,
and scenes in foreign countries, which were fully
appreciated by tbs audience.
Ii was evident from the outset, and became
more and more 50 as the lecture progressed, that
Prof Hitchcock had not the slightest claim to be
called an orator We doubt even, ifa large ma
jority Of his audience would accord to him the
possession ofany higher, than a barely endurable
style Of delivery And this was the more To be
regretted, rs his theme was one Of which much
Of interest and profit might have beeen told and
certainly was expected the part Of his audience
A. it was, we think the lecture may he properly
set down as failure, and that is all we have to
say about It.
