The NOBILITY OF LABOR AND ITS
TR1UMPBs-Lectare By Hon. George
Colton.-By invitation Of the Frost
burg Lyceum Hon. Geo. Cotton, of
Baltimore, apperred on the platform
of Odd Fellows Opera House Tuesday
evening last. The audience was large
and comprised much of the apprecia-
tive portion of the community. The
lecturer pursued the line of the pub
llshed programme, not literally as to
time, but closely as to terms. His
personal history was graphic recital
covering the long period between an
unpropitious beginning and success
full age. TIE remarks upon the Love
of Woman were a splendid eulogium
upon the virtues of the better sex.
Lastly, the Nobility of Labor and it's
Triumphs, the solid part of the Lee
ture, was treated IN fine style, reach
ing ita climax in sn original poem
which Mr.. Cotton acclaimed with
great force and grace.
Mr.. Colton's style is easy, natural
and graceful. His personal history
was given without esotisn, and his
suggestions without the assurance OF
an oracle. A vein of genuine good
nature, of kind feeling, of pretty
compliments, ran through the entire
effolt The recital CT an incident in
Edison's career was thrilling ror-
trajal of a wonderful electric opera
ton which unclaimed the audience.
His anecdotes were keen, sharp, peril
nent witty, and rellshed with great
gusto.
Altogether the Lecture was grand
success, Everybody was delighted.
and Mr., Cotton was pleased with his
reception. We learn that g move
ment is already projected looking to
his return here at an carly day for
the delivery of another of his efforts.

Congressman Reed and, amid tremendous APP
