{ the Sd inst, were, we are assured, am
" ly repaid. The city of Rome of to-

on the various departments which give
character and make it so interesting
''A, the traveller Bits of its early history
atofere given, together with the influences
. 'hich have made it SO unique among

uch lectures and crowd to hear them
One of the finest lectures of the
curse was given last Monday evening
s,, Rev. f. p. Hooker of Middlebury,
Witchcraft in the New England col
mics. In saying this we mean no dis
hoh aragement to the others, for all have
cen excellent of their kind, with but
p Of tile to criticise but this was especially
i Interesting. The subject was one invest
with great darkness in many minds,
ven of most of the historians of the pc
y, iod under review. 1t was admirably
landled, and the lecture evinced much
cholarly research, was full of tersely
nya ut thought and fact, tending to show up
~, he superstition in its true light, and re-
ieve worthy men of the times of much
Er'@ # the stigma cast upon them in conse
dins Iuence. In modern spiritualism the lee
urer saw similar superstition, and il
is adherents as great credulity as in the
believers in witchcraft. Portions of the
lecture were thrilling, and held an APP
/ oreciative audience spell-bound.
