The Vending Lecture.

The lecture of Mr.. Vending at the
town hall on Thursday night, fully came
up to the expectations which the fame
of this lecture had led the people to
anticipate. He held large audience
with intense interest for nearly two
hours, while he defended the bible and
exposed atheism, from a worldly stand
point merely. 1t was wholly unsec-
tartan, but deeply religious, patriotic
and eloquent. AS one remarked in our
hearing, sit was just glorious" The
lecture cannot fail to do good wherever
heard.

Ryegate.
The people of this place gave them
selves a benefit last Tuesday evening at
the town hall in the shape of two beau
tiful Christmas trees. The hall was
crowded to its utmost, and nearly all
were kindly remembered. Among the
presents received were valuable watch
es, silver castors, fine fruit baskets, etc.
One noticeable plesent was an ingeni-
ously wrought and shapely stocking of
silk, filled with choice confectionery
and nuts. A few wondering minds, by
its symmetry and size, guessed its des-
tination, and were not disappointed
when the blushing maiden stood up
''like little lady" and acknowledged
the favor. The introductory address
was made in a very pleasant and able
manner by Judge Gray. Rev. j. M. B.
spoke in his usual easy and familiar
style, offering few remarks that gave
Rev. j. H. X. chance to prove his
original and ready wit, which he did to
the interest of the audience. Rev.J. B.
c. made few appropriate closing re-
marks. The affair may well he called

Peachan.

Peacham
Public opinion, as Gov. Mattocks
used to say, is about as good verdict
as can be arrived at. The verdict rem
dered in the case ut the county court
in regard to a gentleman from this town
who appeared in darkness where he
shouldn't have been, meets with the
hearty approval of all thinking citizens.
1t is pleasant sight to behold far
mers' premises looking neat and thrifty,
yet how few such places are to be found.
One may travel from town to town,
and from one state to another, through
the length and breadth of the land, and
the really attractive farms and home
steads which he will see, are few and
far between. This condition of things
arises and continues to IA great extent,
from the lack of order. The man in
possession of these admirable traits of
character, is known by every observing
passed. by. First the roadside attracts
the attention. Here one frequently
finds the unsightly and dilapidated
fences, over which since time immemO-
rial, have been thrown all kinds of rub
bish. simply to get it out of the way.
That is worse than no fence at all.
Then we look over into the fields, and
see the stones thrown up against the
fence, with brush and briers in peacable
possession, and stone heaps in every
direction. Farmer Winter of this town
is an exception to the above. He is Il
farmer thrifty in every sense of the
word. Since he went where he now
lives-eight years ago-he has built
new fences all around his farm, cleared
the bushes from the roadside, smoOthed
good many rough pieces of land, and
the farm looks like far different place.
He also keeps some of the best stock in
town, and we wish more farmers would
do like him.

pointed deputy sheriff for this town,
