Col. Boudinot's lecture at our town hall on Monday evening last, the 18th inst, was listened to by very large audience. The hall was crowded, and the attention given, as well as remarks afterwards, evinced deep interest. Col. B. is a fine speaker, seems to thoroughly understand his subject and is heartily engaged in it. The statements he made of the condition of the Indians, the privileges they ask for, and the dupicity of white men in dealing with them, set forth the justice of their cause in pretty clear light, especially when viewed in connection with the ssgol- den rule" and also with the declaration that s'God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth g
 Two weeks ago MT. Ralph Judson was out with pair of old oxen and two pairs of steers attached to a sled. On his return home, while attempting to unhitch the team the steers started and ran, Mir. J. was thrown down and. after being drawn short distance the sled passed over him. No bones were broken but he was badly hurt, was taken up helpless, and although he can now move some of his limbs 8 lit tie, he still lies in 8 rather precarious con- dition. @ ENo.

A very pleasant Sunday School exercise took place at the Hall on Sunday evening. It passed off successfully although the school was very small, from prevalence. of measles; one class having not single representative, teacher or scholar.
 The Congregational church of North Cornwall was organized in 1783. Their first pastor was Rev. John Cornwall. In his family bible, in his own hand writing, there was this record. sLived without God until twenty years old." The successor of MT. Cornwall was the Rev. Israel Holley, who began his labors Tn 1705. Next came Rev. Josiah Hawes who was settled in 1908, on salary of $3OO- and remained here until 1913. Following MT. Hawes was Rev. Mir. Robbins, and then Rev. Grove l.. Brownell, neither of whom were settled pastors. In 1919 the church and society called and settled Rev. Mather Smith who mained here until 1888. The next settled pastor was Rev. Joshua L. Maynard in 1840 who re- mained until 1852. In 1855 Rev. Wm. B. Clarke received call from, and wa settled over, this church. He was dis missed in 1859. His successor, Rev. Chas. Wetherby, was installed in Septem- Der of the same year and remained here until 1866. Rev. Jesse Brush came next, in 1867, and remained until July, 1878. On Saturday last, at largely attended meeting of the church and society. a unan- imous call was given Rev. Charles N. Fitch to become their pastor. The indi- :cations are that the invitation will be ac- cepted.

Mrs. Wm. Hopkins died suddenly of ap- oplexy last Friday evening. Her death is
 great shock to her family and the com munity, as there isno woman in town could boast of better health or stronger con- stitution.

Her funeral will be on Tuesday of this week at the Congregational church of which she has long been member.

 Communities soon become like ponds of
 water 'stagnant and unhealthy in Summer
 or Q mass of ice in Winter" unless the so- cial and intellectual faculties have some outlet through which move to and mingle.
 Children and youth are so full of life and
 activity, that like springs ofwater, they will find some channel to flow in. If left to choose they are apt to soon gather in the swamps of life but if a suitable channel is opened for them they will ripple on through the fields and meadows of life, making their influence felt for good on every hand" A very pleasant meeting of the sociable was held at Mr. Harmon Treats, diversified with an upset on the return n.-On Tuesday of last week an ed- ucational meeting was held at the Cong1 church.

The Washington Dramatic Association will attempt on Friday evening, Feb. 27. the production of $ Uncle Tom's Cabin, |" upon the stage at Farmers Hall This play was great favorite with Washington audiences, ten years ago ; and it is hoped that it's reproduction will be received with approbation It's length in action will preclude the possibility of introducing any other play on the same evening.
 When, in 1861, this drama was enacted. at the close of a school session, the Hon. Joshua M. Van Cott, then as now one of the leading members of the N. '. Bar. and who has since won high reputation by his great success in the impeachment of New York's corrupt indges, was pres- ent as spectator. After the curtain had fallen at the conclusion, he rose and ask. ed liberty to make some remarks. He said that it had been his fortune to see at various times, in he principal theatres of Europe as we'll as America, all the famous actors of his day. But to see so noble & drama, full of high thoughts and princi- pies, strong in the vindication of human liberty and defiant of slavery, so natural ly and so spiritedly performed by mere school boys and girls, had afforded him a higher and purer pleasure than any other acting had ever given, and he thanked the teacher who had selected for his pupils 8 drama embodying such sentiments.
 The reproduction of Uncle Tom has brought wildly to mind the scene and the language of the speaker. How changed is everything since that midnight in 1861 1!

Not long since, one of our enterprising merchants issued handbill, in which he offers for sale great variety of goods; and among other articles, 'sThe Danbury News Mans Hat" Now the question arises, how did that hat get into this vi- cinity? Did the ''Danbury Man" go on spree, and lose his hat? And is some body trying to speculate ''onto" it, as he would in regard to an old document or coin? Or is it sort of sly way the fel- low has of gaining popularity. by circulat- ing his hat around in this Congressional District; thinking that by and by he may be sent to Congress, and thus be enabled to take slice of that Salary Grab?"
