MuRRAY's LECTURE The lecture by
Rev. W. II. Murray Of the Park Street
church, Boston, delivered at Academy
Hall Oh Monday evening Of last week,
was in many respects the most taking one
thus far in the course. His subject was
"Deacons," aud in his lecture he drew
the pictures Of three well known charac-
tiers in the orthodox churches of New
England, of a half century ago, and of
whom some speeimeus remain to this day.
There was Deacon Slow-up, senior dea-
con of Fossilvilc, Deacon Sharp.face, and
Deacon Good-heart, all well known char
acters. Through the whole lecture there
was a vein OF irresistible humor alternat-
ing with pathos equally affecting. Ev-
erybody enjoyed it.
We gret the necessity Of chroni-
cling the suspension Of business at the
old cotton factory in this village. H. S.
Putnam, Esq, has had lease Of the
property which expired on tho lst inst.
He has not been ablo to effect lease Of
1t, on satisfactory conditions for future
term, and so the business stops. II this
failure to come to an agreement, involves
the removal of Mr.. Putnam from our
community, as We suppose it does, wo re.
gret it even more than the mere loss of
business to our town. While residing in
Middlebury. Mr.. Putnam has won warm
friends, and their wishes for his prospect.
ty will 90 with him wherever he goes.
