the duty of every person to be warmly

Prof G. D. Robinson Of Bangor.
Maine, who was advertised to read
here three evenings last week, we are
sorry to say met with poor success,
there not being so in the hall the sec
ond evening, and not half that number
the last evening, when he concluded
not to proceed. Mr.. Robinson is a
good reader, but it was evident the first
evening, from the small audience, that
our people did not appreciate that kind
of entertainment,

much into use as dress expanders, it is
right that the appropriate publications

clinations should be made known. The

Mr. NATHAN CUsH1NG's FUNERAL
The funeral of our late highly respect
ed and esteemed fellow-citizen Nathan
Cushing, Esq, was attended by
very large number of our citizens,
both ladies and gentlemen. Four min
listers of the gospel were present, three
of whom took part in the services, viz:
Rev. Mr.. Southgate, of White River
Village, the Rev. DR.. Clement, of Nor
witch, and tho Rev. Mr.. Dascomb of
this village. The services were all sol
emn and impressive. Previous to the
commencement of the services, Justin
Mckenzie, Esq, the manager, announc-
ed that as a friend and neighbor Fred
erick Billings had been invited to make
a few remarks Mr.. Billings then
arose and made one of the most inter
csting, effective and eloquent addresses
ever made in this town on any other
on such an occasion. Scarcely dry
eye was seen. He gave due praise to
the character Of the deceased as a man
and neighbor, and member of a Chris
ian church, and his remarks must have
been very gratifying to the widow and
children, and friends of the deceased,
and very we'll calculated to stimulate
the young people present to endeavor
after a worthy and holy life in imita-
ton of their departed neighbor and
friend.
Mr.. and Mrs Frank S. Mckenzie
arrived home from their European trip,
the first of this week. We are indebted
to them for files of papers, and curiosi-
ties, while making the tour of the Con-
tinent.
We give the Public Acts passed at
the recent session Of the Legislature in
supplement form this week. This will
betound more convenient for reference,
than if we dragged them along week
after week in our columns, thereby ex.
Guiding more important matter.
We hope John Cone will derive
benefit from that personal" in the
