Goodwin, ot Themaston, will lecture during the coming week on thc subject of Temperance in it's med ical and scientific aspects. pr. Goodwin is s gentleman of high professional attainmentt and good lecturer. In his address he avoids all those scientific terms and technicalities which are 80 unintelligible to the general pub lic. These features of the question are so lit tie understood and have 90 often been mis-stat ed by incompetent lecturers that an exposi tisn of the real facts cannot fail to be both in teresting and instructive. We sincerely hop' that tha eOnmtttNe will aucceed in Obtainin!
