 Am glad MT. David Smith has given me this early opportunity of giving notice of his marriage and of his good fortune in obtaining so fair and suitable partner We hear rumors of grand reception at Bridgeport given on board the train, and that he was presented by his old patrons of that place with neat little box containing useful articles necessary in most well regulated families If our friend is in doubt as to their use they can probably be explained if he will place them on exhibition on his return. 1 understand he is now stopping at Earle's Hotel New York. His store has been newly painted and is now ready for the new goods, and fine selection of callco &c., is ex- pected His numerous friends are waiting anx- iously for his return and will give both hearty welcome.

 The drama of ''My Brothers Keeper" rep resented by the dramatic association, last Friday night, was on the whole the most satisfactory of any before brought out by this efficient or
 
 in this play for good acting moreover, judi. cious mlngling of the humorous and the pathet- ic, with enough of dramatic incident, all of which, if suitably taken in hand, must of ne cessity make the representation an exceedingly attractive It is sufficient to say that the large audience were moved to the closest attention throughout, and when the curtain fell at the close, separated with the almost universal feel. ing that every actor had done we'll and that all the effects and opportunities possible had been improved to the fullest extent These | opportunities as before stated, were many in this particular play, and it was felt by all who were fortunate enough to witnessfts represen. tation, that they had passed pleasant and profitable evening. Owing to the sickness of Mir. Gum, he has been unable to attend the regular rehearsals and thus they had failed O the usual severe drill in their preparation. H' has merely been able to read aloud the play a the outset, and give cautionary instructions t the actors in advance. This made the perform ance more problematical and it's success mad' these disadvantages the more meritorious. In | Iuc dUSeuCe Ol MT.

Porter Ford led of on the affirmative and Will Platt on the mega tive Among those who volunteered whel President Logan gave the question to outsiders were MT. Earl Buckingham and the Rev. Mir l l Thrall who threw their heavy weights, one o the affirmative and the other on the negative The speakers interpreted the meaning of tn question unlike, and the President in decidin } it, felt obliged to leave it finally as much ii , doubt as when in the hands of the disputants !, Question for this week, Resolved that a mal
 suffers more from real than imaginary evils. In the absence of MT. Baker the chief editor e 5 of the lyceum paper the ''LitchfeLd Count . Bee' he sent his ''devil" in te do the reading and W. J. Ford, who represents that impor tant position, gave to the society the usual va ; riety of news and communications, grave. vii !. ty serious and profanc X.
