air, in the finest dust. So perfect, now,
is the microscope, that in the hands of
the scientist, only the smallest fragment
of feather from a bird or of a hair
from an animal, is necessary, to deter
mine, for a certainty, to what species
it belongs The lecture was one that
could not help setting one thinking of
many things of which perhaps he had
never thought before, and showed the
author to be thoroughly acquainted with
his subject.
The next lecture will be given tomor-
row tuesday evening, by Rev. S. K.
b Perkins. of Glover Subject-"The
English Anti-Slavery Reformers. All
who have heard this, pronounce it an ex-
cellent lecture. We hope our citizens

welcome that they did Mr.. Cutting.
A week from this (Monday) evening,
there will be given, lecture on Tenn
perance by DR.. Cheney, of Derby Line.

, The lecture of Rev. Mr.. Malcolm, of
, the 18th. 'ln the Tub, and how to get
. out" should have been noticed in last
t weeks issue, as the lecture was worthy
= of it. The neglect is chargeable to the
| chairman of the committee. Mr.. NAL
: colm's popularity here was seen in his
e calling out the largest audience of the
: season and then his ability as lectur-
/ er in holding his audience (t,,b bound Of
, course) for an hour or more. Mr.. NAL
0 colin is live Scotch Yankee, full of wit,
e humor, and good sense, with an ambition
and love of freedom which will ever de.
4 fly all makers to hoop HIM in. We
t hope his appeal to the young people Of
: our community will not be lost.
Tho lecture on Wednesday evening
January %, by DR.. Cutting, of Lunen
: burg, was we'll attended and was one Of
u the best of the season, thus far. Hi:
l. subject, ''God in Nature" was we'll illus
e trated, his argument conclusive, and al
e though he dealt some hard blows at tn,
n old traditionary (six days. Interpretation
: of the history OF creation, yet we believ
l. his position purely scriptural, and thinl
J. that his lecture cannot fail of doin,
good. How absurd it seems for tholo
r. gians to drive such men from the Bibl
" by any narrowness or bigotry and VIII
II say to them, nature, and nature alone, i
of your province? Why not allow them t
is come to the oracles of God for compar
