On Friday evening last, the eth,
the Hon. w. L. Foster, Chief Justice

course, on the theme-"New lamp
shire Two Hundred Years Ago"
Many men now living have tasted and
participated in just such history.
Their manners and laws were peculiar
and also were their names and their
faiths. The religious belief and So
cial customs of the people OF those
times may be traced by the names
given TO their children, and the prac-
tice has hardly failed from sight. The
laws of our progenitors must be
somewhat like those under which they
had been reared in the Mother Coun.
try; they knew no other, and the
yoke of English oppression was still
CALLING them; and as liberty, which
they found and chose in the bowling
wilderness of the new world, softened
their hearts, so their laws became
milder. How much is our glory and
success due the privstions and hard
ships of those hardy men and women
of two hundred years ago." and with
what interest we listen to the re-
hearsal of such variations. The
Judge put these his )rical events
such an admirable manner that we
could have listened another hour, for
getting his bsck-aehe and headache
and sore throat all Of which he CON-
planned of. We have had no more
useful or interesting discourse, az yet,
than Judge Fosters.
