lecture which was to have been delivered
in the regular course OF the Middlebury

ming is undoubtedly most excellent one

have to defer detailed accounts of the
performance to IA more convenient sea-
sou.

and several eminent legal gentlemen, aud
little Iorhearauce and courtesy on the

decree OF court, which only awaits the
proper apse-of time, Il valid title will
rest D Eben Barton of New York city.

TURN TO TIE RIGnr-Ifpeopie on thu
street would always bear this simple rul
in mind, many awkward and embarrassin.
predicaments would be avoided as wei
ss serious accidents. Seine have an alb
surd idea that a lady must always be Civ
en- the inside Of the walk. This is no
the rule when you meet a lady, it onl,
applies when you are walking aeith one
The rule of expediency in this cas-
agrees with the rule Of politeness it i
this whether on foot, horseback or in
carriage, if you meet another perso
either on. foot. horseback or in car
rage, always turn TO the right.
