CnARLoTrR.-On Monday evening, in the
absence OF DR.. Willis, of Philadelphia, who
failed to connect at New York. President
Hurlbert addressed large and ate ntive
audience at the Congregational church. His
theme was The True Idea OF Education. "
All men are en- dowed with the same facul-
ties. The difference in men is difference
In force and capacity of use. and not OF en-
dowment. A man cannot relegste himself
to his Creator to be made over. but he can
by wise and faithful use develop his various
faculties and indefinitely increase his force
of manhood. This may be done with or
without the help of the school or college.
The fact that boy has passed through
college does not make man OF him. Nor
need he fail to be man if his ed
ucation have been gained without the help
of professional teachers. People do not ask
for man diploma they go back of that.
There is broad distinction between what
a man knows and what he is or what he can
do-in the sick room, the pulpit, or at the
oar. Ii is force of character-efhciency that
men ask for, and it that is forthcoming
they care little by what college. or by what
means it comes. To this there is no royal
road the Prince of Wales. if he wants
Drawn and muscle must get il by hard
work OF some kind. Learning made easy is
the greatest of sbsurdlties. 1t is Just the
toll AID strain and patient effort that gives
to study its highest practical value. The
discourse was listened to with close atten-
ton, and the audience dispersed well pleas
ed with this substitute for what they had
expected, and with an assurance from DIR.
Willis and the committee that the expect
ed lecture should be given during the pres
ent course.
Great credit is due to our lecture com

INTERESTING LEGAL QUEsrIoN.-There is
an interesting question to come before the
next term of the Supreme Court. relating to
the power of one Judge to sit alone in Grim
inal trials 1t grows out OF the case OF
the State VS. Blair and others. in which the
respondents were found guilty of arson on
motion to arrest judgment, as the verdict
was unjust and some parts of the trial had
proceeded with only Judge Redfeld upon
the bench. The statute says that the court
q" shall consist Of one chief Judge and two
assistant Judges. aDy two of whom shall be
a quorum. Ex-Governor Peck. who pre-
sided 10 this court for many years, frequent
ly suspended business until one OF the
assistant judges was on the bench. lie
claimed that one Judge did not constitute
court. The practice has been differently
regarded by Judge Red6eld, and the ques-
ton Of its legality has never been raised
before.

ATTENTION is dir ected to the new advertise
ment Of H. D. Brown, our well-known deal
er in sleighs and carriages. In anticipation
of the winter season Mr.. Brown has put in
very large stock OF sleighs, of every make
and every style, which he offers at remarka-
bly, low prices. Those in want of such an
article can not do better than give him call
and make selection from his extensive as
so-tment and our word for it they will be
perfectly satisfied as to style. finish, build
and price. Since his coming here Mr.. Brown
has built up very large business, and has
justly merited it by his business sagacity,
enterprise and integrity ; and there is no
