| fixtures to the parlor three superb lamps as
a present. Mr.. Adams enjoys the conf

repeated elections to offices of responsible

BENNINGTON.
Wallace Bruce of Poughkeepsie lectureC
before the Young Mems association il
Library Hall, Bennington, last Saturday
evening upon "Womanhood of Shakes
peare." 1t has been the good luck OF tn
writer to hear Mr.. Bruce deliver his lee
lures on "Robcrt Burns and Landmark
of Scott" but in this lecture he fairly ex
celled his former efforts, and no lecture il
Bennington has given better satisfac
ton to the people than the one dellv
cred Saturday evening. The lecture
classed the women of Shakespeare Il
three parts, the romantic, domestic an
heroic, and paid fitting and glowing fri
butte to all mentioned. Especially wa
this SO when portraying the character o
, Rosalind Miranda, Queen Catherine, an
: Portia. The lecture abounds in many clio
quent passages, and during the recital o
+ several the stiffness of the large audienc
was almost oppressive, only TO be broke
by the applause of the enraptured heal
ers The lecture was some two houi
in length, but so fascinating
{ it that the time seems short an
, and all regretted its close. Mr.. Bruce ha
: always been a favorite with Benmngto
people, but this time he gained new laurel
5 and his return will be greeted with anotht
r full house. lie is engaged for ten lecture
