DR.. ASISANsEL's LECTURE.-On Thurs
the gentleman above Gamei delivered lee
tore in tie Town Hall. VIC regret that there
was not larger audience out to hear him.
The subject-thc Frcnchman in America, his

jcct, and beside was rcpiete with many
practical truths Of benefit to his hearers,
together with facts in history which it were
well to bear in mind. The Doc:orhas certain
ly left an agreeable impression behind him,
and when he returns again, which ke promises
soon 70 DO, We will advise cur citizens not 70
omit so great : t1cat as his lectures afford.
We beSpcah to- him = cordial aud large greet
ing ct al other points ne MY visit.
Pc SOCIABLE.-'McnT who isolate them
selves from society and have no near and
dear family tics, are the most uncomfortable
Of human beings. Byron says that chap
pincss waS born iwin," bat the phrase,
though pretty and poetic, does not 90 far
enough. We are greSariouS, and are not
intended to march through life either in
single or double file. The man who cares for
nobody, for whom nobody cares, has little
TO live for. You must have heap of embc
TO have glowing fire. Scatter them apart,
and they become dim and cold. SO, to have
brisk, r;gorcns life, YOU must have group
oflires TO keep each warm, TO afford mutual
encouragement, confidence ani support.
If YOU wish to live the life of Z man AMI not
fungus, be sociab'e, be b:oiherly, be
charitable, be sympathetic and labor earnest
ly for the good ofyour kind.

The streets Of the town are rapidly drying,
and with ! few days of fine weather, drive
will be positive luxury, more especially
will pedestrians have cause to rejoice.
In ancient days, the celebrated precept was
"Know Thyse!f." In modern times, it has
been supplanred by the far more fashionable
maxim, ''Know thy reighbor, aud every
thing shout him"
We are nov having clear sunshine
overhead, dry streets under foot, and balmy
air 70 flu the check. Man and beast both
ie!. its influence, while the little birds even
attempted TO get up chirp.
The little boys and not few big ones have
been in eNstacies for some days, in conse-
queuce of an organ and monkey show.
Many of these little shaverS had never
seen an educated monkey before. The plo-
prictors are reaping their reward.
We were pleased to see our good friend and
esteemed fellow citizen, COL Robt Moorman,
in our sanctum on Monday, after an illness
Of near two months, and that he begins to
look like himself once more. On entering our
new reading room, for the first time, he
! facetiously remarked that we had removed

prcvement exhibited.
A prominent politician, Matt Gray, in
view of the fight now wasing in regard TO the
office Of County Treasurer, says its logon
shame that there are only two Richmond S in
the field. He thinks there should be three,
| for the Governor cannot decide between two.

! so beGerilleG. The horn Of the dilemma
posters Matt, and the consequence is that he
takes hold of all the horns he can see and
