The Lecture Course.

The sixth and last lecture will be at
Union Hall, Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary 3, 1873. by Rev. DIR. j. Hazard
Hartzell of Albany, N. Y. Subject
The Door of Opportunity.
We hope all our citizens will avail
themselves of the opportunity for hear
ing Dr. Hartzell's lecture. The subject
is the very best that could be selected,
and DIR. Hartzell is just the man for the
subject. We have no hesitation in sag
ing that rich intellectual treat awaits
us. We say this upon the authority of
persons who know of the eminent ability
of DIR. Hartzell from an acquaintance
with him, and from having heard him
speak. The Albany Argus, in recent
notice of him says: "Dr. Hartzell has
become noted as preacher and lecturer.
A sermon which he preached on the
death of Lincoln, was published in the
Lincolnania, a volume of sermons and
orations delivered on that occasion by
some of the greatest preachers and ora
tors in the world. This was very high
compliment to his talents. He has been
frequently called to deliver addresses
before societies, college commencements
and other bodies. In the lecture field
DIR. Hartzell is eminently successful.
The fattering notices of the press indi-
cate his popularity wherever he goes.
He is a tall, genial looking man, with a
sympathetic nervous manner. As wri
ter he is graphic, poetical and startling.
He is a great natural word painter, Civ
ing ideas aud thoughts, an original ex-
preston and force. AS a speaker he is
electrical, impassioned and energetic,
throwing his entire nature into his voice
and thoughts, which gives certain fire
and intensity to his elocution, hardly de-
scribable."
DIR. E. III. Chaplin pronounces him
cone of the most brilliant of thinkers
and speakers" These very fattering en-
comiums of DIR. Hartzell, are fully en-
dorsed by number of citizens who have,
on several occasions, heard him preach.

The BASKERVILLE ELoPEMENT.--
Sherburne, an account of whose elope-
ment with Josephine Drew, of Fisher
vile, n. H., will be found ON first page,
plead guilty and held in $4,000 bonds
for County Court. His arrival at Con-
cord created intense excitement, and
much care had to be exercised by the
police to prevent mob and lynch law.
As the Sheriff stepped with his prisoner
upon the sidewalk a heavy, stout built
man jumped upon the prisoner with
demoniacal rage, and dealt heavy blows
upon him wheneverhe could get chance.
This was the signal for action, and the
crowd Immediately shouted, xiii him, -
Hang him." and other significant
threats, and at the same time three or
four other persons joined the first man
in beating the prisoner and in attempt
ing to take him from the hands of the
officers. The saddest part was learned
when it was ascertained that the man
who made the first attack was the father
of the unfortunate girl He is naturally
of quiet and mild disposition and was
quiet when the prisoner was taken from
the depot, but as he descended the stairs
with the police, the thought of his sad
home and dead child overcame his rea-
son, and he became insane. Among
those who attacked the prisoner was
also an uncle of Miss Drew.
Mr.. Drew is in a terrible state of agi-
tation, and his insanity, it is hoped, will
prove but temporary. And when in adj
dition to this, there comes the report
that the mother is distracted in her
home at Baskerville, it is not to be won
dered at that threats of vengence upon
Sherburne are freely uttered.

RATHER BAD SHoEs.-A Yankee
arriving in Boston without money
or friends, was revolving in his
mind some plan whereby he could
raise the chink, as he expressed it.
Jonathan had never visited a CITY
before in his life. He strolled
into a shoemaker's where an adj.
vertisement, WANTED, a first-class
bootmaker," appeared on the win
dow, and accosted the proprietor:
''Do you want a first class boot
maker herep EYES" "What do
you payg" "That depends on
your capacity, Have YOU worked
ut custom work." Ireekon. You
just try me, captain, 1 amt skeer.
ed bit tryin." The proprietor
gave his new hand n bench and
materials, and babe him make a
pair OF ladies' CATERS. Soon after
he left the store on business.
Jonathan made shoe, but such =
horrible affair that, ashamed to
show it, he hid in the leather
shavings; just as he completed his
second shoe TIE proprietor return
ed. He flew into passion at be-
holding the botched shoe. "You
COMPOUNDED rascal, IS bad a shoe
as that has never been made in
this establishment he exclaimed.
''Would YOU like to bet on that,
strangergn .'Bet? Yes. | will
bet ten dollars no such work as
that was ever done in this store.'
Jonathan walked to the shavings,
dragged forth his first shoe, and !
coolly pocketing his ten dollars,
walked of.

LOUISIANA SAvAGEs.-The ne
groes of New Orleans have held
their annual festival of Voudou
along the borders of the Bayou
st. John, and eye witness describ-
es the orgies as of most disgust
ing nature. AT particular places,
on the night of June %, an i'm
mense number of men congrega-
ted, and at given signal all shed
their clothing to the last garment,
and stood forth with shining, ma
ked bodies thct looked wierd
enough in the light that innumera-
BILE bonfires threw over them. The
demon worshipers gave one
wild yell, which was followed by a
silence so absolute that it was
painful. Then with hideous
shrielks and laughter, they began
to dance around the flames, singing
songs that belonged to no living
language, but partook of a great
many tongues. The regular
" Queen of the Voudou" was on
this occasion, too unwell to preside,
and the emblem of power, gar
land of flowers, was worn by one
Nanny Caroline, who has been
named to succeed the present
queen. The dance was kept up
for an hour and half without in
PERMISSION, and the hideous orgies
were protracted until morning.
Among the jewellers was a white
girl about eighteen years of age,
and possessed of more than ordi-
nary beauty.

A NEW SrovE.-A fire proof
stove for use in passenger cars
especially, was subjected to a Sc
we're test in Boston recently. The
stove is made of wrought and
mallable iron. 1t is circular in
form, composed of three upright
cylinders and two cold-air boxes
at the bottom. The FUELS placed
in the inner cylinder. The cold
air rushing through the cold air
boxes drives hot air outward and
upward through the cylinders, the
rounded form giving very power
full radiation. The heat escapes
through a register In the back.
The whole is firmly bound togeth-
er with strong iron bolts. The
doors are fastened by patent locks.
At the trial the stove, after the fire
in it was well under way, was
thrown from the staging upon
which it was placed to the ground,
distance of six feet. 1t was then
rolled about, tumbled over and
over, but not spark of the fire
was spilled upon the shavings
which were scattered around.
When the stove door was opened
the fire was burning briskly.

An Iowa editor, recently, to
keep up with the styles, run away
with another mans wife. He did
not get off so easily, however, as
he imagined he would. The man
followed him, and overlook the
truant pair. The editor got be-
hind the woman, and prepared to
sell his life as dearly as possible.
He was uncertain as to whether
the outraged husband would shoot
him, or murder him with q carving
knife. He stood there, like the
boy on the burning deck, and
calmly awaited the result. The
outraged husband came up within
about two feet of the editor, and
said, "Cuss your impudencc. I
'eant you to stop my paper" That
was all. The editor recovered
himself, and said he would have
the matter attended to at once.
During all the trying scene the
woman stuck to the editor like a
sand burr to girls stocking.
Some people get mad and stop their
paper for almost nothing-it beats
all.--La Crosse Democrat.
