The Lecture. AT the Presbyteri-
an church on Friday evening last wa,
an intellectual treat. Lessons were
taught that will last life time and be
of practical benefit to those who lis
tened to them. Pref Chittenden's

by the use of kerosene and his forcible
illustration of his thcorie. was alone
worth the price of admission, and may
save life, for surely no one who listened
to him will ever be guilty of the fool
ish and dangerous practice of filling a
lamp while burning or of kindIing
fire with this oil We have not the
time nor space in which to speak of
the many beautiful experiments with
which the lecture was embellished To
those who staid away the loss of this
lecture seems to MS an irreparable one

erning principle among our people
