When Mr.. Fields lectured here last week
he promised some of his friends that the lee
ture by Judge Putnam would be the finest Of
the course, and we may say that the public
were not disappointed at Meonian Hall last
evening. The subject was novel and quite
unique, outside of the ordinary themes for
the platform, and was descriptive of an event Of
which many have read but few in these parts
have seen. The scenes ofthe wonderful drama
of the passion Play" were brought out with
such thrilling vididness that the audience was
at times spell bound by the descriptive pic
lures that we're placed before them. These
pictures will have place upon the walls Of
memory always, and We thank the Judge and
manager of the course for the lecture.
