ture in court house hall, this time to the
Atl.en@um Literary Society. Although
the only announcement made of tho de
livery of this lecture was at the close of
the ono MIR Wiley delivered on tho Fri
day evening previous-it being too late
for the press to announce it,-yet the
hall WAS we'll filled with largo and APP
precistive audience.
The Mozart Brass ID md, of this place
played seveia al pieces of their fine music
both before and after the lecture.
The subject of this lecture was "N es-
leyan Hymnology versus Doggerel."
II is intended principally as hit at the
dog3erel 80 much used in the Methodist
church, and was first prepared t. be de-
livered 10 a congregation OF that denomi-
nation. through cut IL was very able
lerture-fully as much so as the one de-
livered to the Pnilomathean Society on
Friday night.
We understand this Society will have
another lecture delivered for it's benefit
and imptoyem ent ere long, by whom we
are not informed, but are assured thai
the lecture will be good one.
At the close Of Mr.. Willey's lecture
the following preambles and resolutions
were read and unanimously adopted:
