THINGS THAT WERE.-It was supposed that some of your correspondents would have re- ported the Lecture of Prof. Northrop and the church sociable. In brief, the Lecture had fair audience andhis remarks were well receiv- ed. He complimented the Village Improvement Society, urged further measures to improve our Village Green, and especially the planting oftrees, and presented the lads with scions which we have seen stuck down in several places, to produce thoir beauty and shade hereafter. His remarks were not cold, but the Hall was uncomfortably warm.
 The Church sociable brought together some two hundred of our people and was con- plete success. The rooms were adorned with notices, illuminated texts, and MT. R. B. Bish- op, student of Doct. Browns, read an article full of wit and humor which elicited much ap- plause. Then followed singing, charades, etc. and a general shaking or hands Individ- uals met who never recognized each other be- fore, and it was thought by those present a pleasant and profitable season. Another Socia- ble is expected to be held the third Tuesday in December to which all are invited without distinction of class or color. We are informed that Thomas's Minstrels performed in the Town Hall short time since. SILVER WLpDNe.-We have received no report from the Silver Wedding announced in our last, but presume all was right-On the 21, MT. and Mrs Elmer Hubbel of Watertown, celebrated their Silver Wedding The guests from this place were Mir. & Mrs. J. B. New ton, Mrs. Frederick Newton and Miss Corne. lia H: Hill. We understand the Social Improvement Society hold meetings every. week.

 RELIGIoUs.-The slips in the Congregation al Church were sold on Saturday aggregatine more than last year. Mr. Jones of Roxbury exchanged pulpits with MT. Thrall on Sunday The sermon of MT. Thrall on Tn anksgivine day, was an unique discourse founded on the prayer of the Pharisee, Luke 18th, 11th, a ma l tional discourse individualized
 FELLOWSHIP MEETING.-There is to be I fellowship meeting at Bridgewater on Thurs day of this week. Can there exist true fellew ship while the body is in cold and hungry condition? For ourselves we prefer the fel lowship of the churches north of us where no only our souls are fed, but our bodies warmed and filled. Wnl Rev. MT. Mclean give no tice of the meetings in his district in the En l quirer?
 ENTERTAINMENTS FOE THE WEEK.-The Col ored Minst rels will perform at the New Hal on Monday evening. Meeting for church worl at the rooms of the Pastor, also Readin Circle at S. D. Fords on Tuesday evening. = Ladies Home Missionary Society at MT. Jame.

Nor do we believe that Deacon Smith was made by Mrs. Champlin such a monster as we now find him, .'out of whole cloth, !" in two thirds of year. It is sound old Latin maxim that mo one gets thoroughly base all at once ;" and we have no doubt that the awful chasm we now see between the dea- cons preaching and his practice began long before he met the siren who has wrought his final ruin.

fair was perfection itself, and therefore it
would be impossible to select any particu-
lar portion Of it, for special praise. 1t was
a happy surprise, inasmuch as no one sus-
peoted that so much genius was idly unem-
ployed among us. The young gentlemen
of the coordination" deserve the grateful
thanks Of all their friends, for giving them
80 faultless and thoroughly enjoyable an
entertainment.
An attractive feature of the entertainment
was the accompaniment and piano solos
by MIR. Deming, who was repeatedly en-
cored. The parts of bones and tamborine
were good.
After the Msnstrels had retired, the Hall
was cleared aud soon the floor was filled
with couples enjoying the may dance
which was kept up until the "wee sma'
horus."
Too much praise cannot be given to the
young men who organized and successfully
carried through the entertainment, and in
closing we can only use slang phrase and
say
''Do so some more ="

"LAsT SENSATION"
During the voyage of the steamer from
New York, two of her passengers had a
political discussion at the table which led
to hard words, and at last to challenge.
The surgeon of the steamer was selected as
referee, and on arrival at Aspinwall, on
the 25th, although it was the holy Sabbath
day, the parties adjourned to theeuburb
known as Boca Grande, 10 fight 1t out
The combstants were placed at twenty
PAGES, the word given and both fired AS
neither was injured 1t was decided that they
should try it again. On the second fire,
one of the blood-thirsty gentlemen threw
| up his arms, put his hands to bis forehead,
and in an instant before he reeled and fell,
the crimson gushed forth and streamed
down over his pale and excited features,
| and his antagonist rushed forward in an
agony of fear, lest he had murdered fell
low being, for the paltry excuse of few
heated words The referee and others
gathered around in breathless anxiety, and,
1t seemed as though the tragedy had ended
fatally for one of the actors AS soon as
possible, an examination was made aud it
was discovered that the fallen man held in
his right hand sponge saturated with car
mine ink II was then found that the bull
lets had been extracted from the cartridges
of the pistols by those who had them in
charge, but one of the parties was not in
the secret, and for a moment supposed he
had killed his man."
For the last two days the wind has been
blowing perfect gale, and heavy sea is
the consequence. All of the steamers have
been obliged TO leave the dock, and as she
sails for New York this p. m. they are try
ing to hold "on little longer" But for
fear that she also may be obliged to go
