4 FIRST CLASS LECTURE.
"Josh Billings alias Henry NJ. Shaw.
lectured in Anderson Hall. on March,
Both, to good audience. though the
evening was very unfavorable. His sub
.ect was 1.-THE Probabilities of Life.
But the correspondence between the sub
,iect and the lecture was about equal t.
Josh Billings grammar. There was
the usual humor in the lecture. but too
much humor is like too much spice in a
cake. Most people like to be tickled.
and SO Il natural humorist gains p"pu-
larity and high prices. The difference
| between Il lecture of this kind and sen
Sibie. instructive lecture is as the differ
ence between a meteor that Sparkles and
glitters and blazes and misses in its .lar-
inI dash, till it falls suddenly to the
earth. a mass of black mineral. and the
planet that requires a telescope to study
it night after night. Most people. how
ever, are too indolent to study the stars
with telescope. The lecture was Sc
cured through the commendable enter.
prise of two young men. On account oI
its being a bad night, they were join,
losers by the operation. 1t is to he hoped
| that the community will show their ap-
probation of the enuerpriSing spirit mani
tested in making up the loss incurred.

Burning of an Unoccupied House.

the road between Hyland's store and North
East, in this county. was destroyed by fire

property at one time occupied by w. w.
Scott, late sheriff, as = store house and
dwelling, and at the time it was burned
was vacant, the late tenant Mr.. JAS. Clark
having moved out on Friday afternoon Just
before the fire. This property is at this time
in litigation, it being claimed b. AbS"lem
Hyland, Esq. The title is in Mr. Constable,
of this town, who purchased it at Il recent
sale. The origin of the fire is unknown, as
it seems no one was about or near the place
ut the time. The loss, upon whomSoever il
may fall, will be about $1,000. There was
no insurance. Many persons believe the fire
to have been of incendiary origin, but this
is of course but mere suspicion.

Office OF President, nor any hostility
manifested to bis doing so It be should.
But 1t is easily to see how, by settling
aside the plain reading Of the consli,u-
ton, difficulty might arise. All occa-
sions for difficulty, however, would dis
appear were the Cabinet to invite the
Vice-President to assume the duties of
the Office OF President. II is presumed
that the affairs of the country are in able
hands and not being neglected; but IL
must be remembered that none of the
Secretaries are empowered under oath
to discharge the duties of President, and,
therefore, they cannot perform such du-
ties. The unpopularity OF Mr.. Arthur
is so great that few desire to see him in
stalled in office, aud be seems to recog-
nize this fact by keeping as far aloof
from Washington as dignity and be-
coming sense of propriety viii admit.
The New York Herald, it will be
seen from an article in another column
insists that the right way out of tie
present difficulty is for the Cabinet tc
induce the President to call an extra
session of Congress, and that the Cab
met government should cease as sooI
