Everybody is speaking of the pleasant win

sleighing for so little snow. Day after day
the sun has shone brightly on the wide ex-

has been an absence of clustering storms and
drifting SHOWS. People are continually say
ing that the climate is changing, that our
winters are not so severe as formerly, but
whether this will prove true in the long run
of years remains to be seen. Our grand
fathers tell of snow drifts as high as the caves
of the houses, but then they didn't build their
houses so high in those days as we do now.
Ii is certain, however, that our winters are
now less severe than they are at the West,
where for several years the terrible cold and
severe storms have caused much suffering
and even loss of life.-Portland Transcript

Tuesday evening last, at the elegant resi-

members of this society, on which account
the cordial invitation of Mrs. Norcross was
heartily responded to by her Hailoweh
friends. A bountful collation., consisting Of
oysters, tea, coffee, &C., was provided, to
which the happy company did ample justice,
if not more. The evening hours were spent
in social conversation, interspersed with vocal
and instrumental music, Mrs. Capt. Wilson
presiding at the piano. The visit was very
ENJOYABLE one to both old and young, the
fine moonlight ride home by way of Augusta,
adding to its pleasure; and we venture the

The lecture of Prof. E. Payson Thwing
on "a Summer Tour in Scotland" will be
delivered on this evening at the First Baptist
Church, Winthrop street. Those who have
heard the eloquent and able lecturer will
scarcely need any urging to be present, and
those who have not heard him should embrace
the present opportunity. The lecture has
been received with marked favor in Boston,
New York city, and many other places where
it has been given. The New York Herald,
in giving full account of the lecture says:
1.-The entertainment proved highly inter-
esting. The gentleman prefaced his lecture
by stating that he intended to give few
crumbs from pilgrims wallet, and, after ex
pressing the earnest desire he felt when .
youth to visit Europe, said that he felt that
his native country was rich in promise of the
future, while Europe was rich with the accu-
mutations of ages. He accomplished his OBJ
ject and after landing in England, proceeded
direct to
Caledonia, stern and wild,
Land of the mountain and the flood
He spoke of the habits, customs and charac-
teristics of the Gaelic clans, their robust and
hsspitable natures and historic bravery. AT
Edinboro he was furnished with two comfort
able rooms, with attendance, for four shil-
lings a week, and other things cheap in pro-
portion. The first place OF interest visited
at the modern Athens was King Arthur's seat.
From this lofty eninence a scene wrought
with the most undying associations was pre-
sented. Among the most prominent objects
was Hollywood Palace, with the apartments Of
the beautiful Mary, as she left them, and the
dark stained floor where the life blood of the
murdered Rzzio ebbed away. In an easy
colloquial manner he then carried his audi
ence to the Castle of Edinboro', ST. Giles,
the home of Knox, and away to the High
lands of Rob Roy's Cave, Lochs katrine and
Lemond; to Roslin and the
Governed dep'ts Of IIawthornden;
along to the banks of the Tweed and the moul-
dering columns, arches and aisles of Melrose
Abbey. The lecturer was listened to with
deep attention, and fittingly ernbellshed his
lecture with selections from Sir Walter Scott
whose descriptions will never be equaled,
and which were, therefore, most appropriate"
Quotations might be multiplied, had we the
space. The lecture this evening will be
given for the benefit OF the society, who have
provided entertainment in the lecture room
for all who may attend Price of tickets %
cents. Lecture to begin at I l-2 o'clock.
The grand reception given at the Augusta
House last night by the members of the Leg
isature stopping at that popular house, was
doubtless the most brilliant affair of the kind
given for the season. Over four hundred in
yitatons were Issued, ard judging from the
large and brilliant crowd that filed the parlors
and filed through the halls, we should say that
the large majority accepted with pleasure the
kind invitations. The prominent members of
the city government in its legislative and exec
utive departments were present, with ladies,
as well as ladies and gentlemen who lend
grace and refinement to the social life of
Augusta.
