AN Alfred correspondent writes: Rev. H. A.
Shorey of Camden gave us the third lecture in
our course Tuesday evening His subject was
that mysterious creature which inhabits ''down
east" about which we all know so little, called
the "Anglais' (Yankee) We know now that
the Yankee is "a downright smart Teller" 1t
was indeed a very pleasing hours entertain
ment, and it was not the only profit that it
kept our sides in continuous vibration, digested
well our supper, and gave us one nights sound

and how "a Yankee" can put enthusiasm into
whatever he undertakes.
