have organized lyceum, which Is held
in the vesIry oil the Congregational

The subject Of the debate on last Tues

adopted BY this State, and was well dis

men. 1t was pleasing to see the readi-
ness with which the members spoke, and
when the subject was laid open, no time
was lost in waiting Tor speakers. The
question was decided in the affirmative
nv vote Of about three to one.
