 Williams.
 Y. M. c. A. Hall was filled last evening with an audience who listened attentively for an hour and half to Prof. s. Wells Williams on ssThe City of Peking." Prof. W. had been a resident of Peking 12 years and in China altogether 43 years. Some of the many in teresting facts referred to are as follows |: DaL;no fl,a oor;toI of Chino ;e located ;r tI,a extreme northern part, at the head of the greatest plain in the world, which plain is in habited by ninety millions of people. The wall surrounding the city was rebuilt in 1890 A. D., and is 23 miles long, 50 feet high, 60 feet wide at the base and 40 feet at the top. The city has nine gates and is sometimes called the "City of the Nine Gates" When one of these gates is closed Gas they are every night) it requires forty men to lift and put in position the bar which fastens it. There are really four cities enclosed within the great wall, and each in turn is enclosed timated at from 300, ,OO0 to ,O00, 900. It was at one time two millions, and would proba- ply still further diminish if the Emperor were to remove his residence. Prof. Williams gave many other facts of interest, and closed with a graphic description of the first reception by the Emperor (since 1796) in 1874 of foreign representatives in which he himself partici- pated. Mir. W. was the last foreigner the Emperor ever saw, as he died seven weeks later.
 The next lecture will be given February II. Tomorrow being the 'fday of prayer for colleges" the noon meeting will be de- voted to that subject, and will be led by Prof Franklin Garter.

Death of an EK-MayOr of Hartford.
 Hon. Allyn s. Stillman, ex-Mayor of Hart ford, died yesterday morning. His age was 79 years and months MT.

Burglars entered the house of Mir. J. F. Her nance on State street, corner of Trumbull,
 Tuesday night. They secured $6O in money, which was in pocketbook, and came nigh carrying of silverware, a seal skin huff and other things amounting in all in value to $20O
 Entrance was gained by breaking out pane of glass from the door, and sE1en a wire was removed from the key and the door was un- locked. A closet was visited by the opera tors which was not over twelve feet from the room in which slept Mrs. Hermance. She is e lady who is very easily awakened, but did not
 hear any noise that night. The burglars went up stairs and visited the room which Mrs
 Hermance's sister occupied when there; at present she is out of town. Under the bed they found her silverware. suit of clothes belonging to Mir. Hermance's son was also taken. Several bureau drawers were also over hauled. The booty was taken down stairs, de- posted on the mat at the parlor door and left there. Probably the burglars became fright ened at something, for the silverware and other property secured was left on the mat, so that the only thing stolen was the pocketbook containing the $60.
