General Fitzpatrick lectured al Middebury
Wednesday evening, and, says that town "The
General was eloquent beyond description, and nc
other one Of our course the pa winter has given
such feast of reason."-Ffte P5tSs
The Generals lecture was very enter
tanning and very acceptable, but it is not
the sentiment of Middlebury that "nc
other one of our course, the past winter
has given such feast of reason" The
lectures of Governor Hawley and Rev
Adirondack Murray cannot be compared
unfavorably with any.

is no real objection to the article-th
cost of the improvement is only trife

perity and peace, and then opened tn
doors OF the final abode of the rum.selle
aud rum.drinker His descriptive pow
ers are wonderfully graphic and truthful
and Cd the whole we think it better tina
his rebellion of Rum" article. At time
the audience was boisterous with az
plause and at others they were hushed int
the deepest silence. We were glad t
meet old friends who are now earnestl
engaged in the good cause Of temperate

The death of Rev. Bennett Eato

Presiding Elder of this district An
the sorrow will not be confined to tn
members of his church and denominato

of all and the love Of many with who
his relations were not so direct. /

remarkable preacher in many respect
