MoHAMMEDANIsM.

Last Thursday evening Prof. Scar
ing, State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, lectured before the liter
AIRY society of the Normal School and
others. composing in ali quite large
audience. The subject OF the gentle
man S lecture was Northumberland
which was handled in a way showing
careful compilation of historical de-
tails with a fair conception of the re-
lation the facts grouped for presenta-
ton sustain to subsequent events, as
well in Europe as in Arabia. The
founder of Mohammedanism and the
place his religion occupies among the
religions of the world. were infinitely
sketched TO the profit of all attentive
listeners. The Professors diction
was smooth and clear, and his pro-
nunciation perfect; but his manner
and delivery little unhappy, as he
often threw fierce emphasis into pas
sages of plain narrative, forcing the
earnestness and passion belonging on
ly to hot augmentation over live and
momentuouS issues. into matter which
would be more deeply impressive when
quietly uttered. The lecture was
of incaleulable value to students
of the Normal School as its
scope and metbodical arrangement
were such as to indicate the best
method of investigation.
There were some seeming inconsis-
tencies in the lecture, as that the
Koran contains only the grandest
thoughts of the Old Testament, but is
on every page q transition from the
sublime to the ridiculous that Mo-
manned claimed to have been made
the apostle of heaven by the angel
Gabriel and yet was honest in all he
did, being deceived himslf as much as
he deceived others; that Mohmmed.
anism was grand system of religion,
yet was religion of sensuality and
baseness; but these and few other
anomalies were all that need explain.
ing, and of course occupied in their
recital but a few moments. The re.
lation the CruSades bear to Mo.
hammedanism, was not very clearly
marked by the speaker, though this
did not prevent him from di.
crossing enough to give an outline OF
the work done by Peter the Hermit
and the results of the holy wars
against the infdel.
The lecture, though lengthy, was
listened to with good attention
throughout, and at its close vote OF
thanks was rendered the Superintend.
ent. May his visits to our village be
| frequent.

Overseers of highways are required
to render their annual account to the
supervisors of their respective towns,
on or before the third Monday in
March, of each year. A good deal of
difficulty has been experienced in do
ing this, and it is seldom done IN &C.
cordance with the provisions of statue.
In fact this has been almost i'm
practicable, since there were very few
overseers who had the necessary facil-
tiles for making these returns. To
meet the necessities of the case we
have arranged, perfected, and printed
a blank in simple form, well adapted
to the use of overseers, They are for
