The Quarterly Meeting at the
Methodist Church was an occasion Of in
terest. The Love Feast was characterize
ed by the right spirit, and what with
good sermon from Presiding Elder Gregg,
and good singing, and an evident spirit
of devotion, the regular service was in
spring. Speaking of the singing, much
credit is due the chorister, Mr.. j. NJ. Peck,
for his admirable man cement. He is
organizing success in that department,
if it is not already achieved Following
the sermon two persons were baptized
and nine received into the church. \
large number were at the Communion.

MIDDLEBuRy LECTURE AssocIATIoy.-l
The fourth Lecture before the Middle
bury Lecture Association, will be deliy-
cred at the Academy Hall tomorrow,
"Wednesday evening, by Gen. lIawley,
Ex-Governor Of Connecticut, on the SUBJ
ject Of Rings and Lobbyists" With
the knowledge Governor Hawley has OF
the practical workings Of corrupt rings and
loobies and his fine powers of description,
We may anticipate some startling revela-
tions and as he is not one to gloss over,
and apologize for wrong, we may expect,
also, that he will call things by their
right names. His reputation as popu.
lar lecturer warrants the belief that we
shall have something more than usual in
the line Of popular addresses. Our dis
appointment last week makes US chary of
our commentator Of that we have no
personal knowledge but certainly the ex-
tended fame of Governor IIawley puts
the matter beyond doubt. We cannot,in
listening to him, be the victim of stale
Jokes which depend upon the contortions
of the face for their point. He will, at
least, give us something more original
than mimicry. Tickets at the usual price
and for sale at the Register Book Store,
and at the door. "
