Last Sabbath evening Professor
Fuller gave at Academy hall an illus
trated lecture on Palestine. He was
greatly assisted by very fine illustra
tons of the country, which were
thrown upon canvas by powerful
light managed by Professor Bracket.
After taking the audience rather hur
riedly over the route taken by the Is
raelites i'll their wanderings between
Egypt and the promised land, he dwelt
at length upon the country, the people
and the customs of modern Palestine.
The lecture was of much interest and
value, and was attended by Il large au-
dience. We hope for more illustrated
lectures from the same source.

The gas and water pipes i'll the
vicinity of the old North church have
been giving considerable trouble of
late. Several Intellectual attempts
have been made to find the seat of the
difficulty with the gas, but at last ac-
counts it was as much a mystery as ev-
ct. While there has been no gas at
the North church for three weeks, St.
Andrews and the Free Baptist church
have had the usual supply.-A small
pipe connecting with the village water
main, in that locality, became broken,
it is supposed from pressure of the fro
zen ground, and caused quite leak.
1t took three or four days to get at the
leak, and then it was done by blasting
the frozen ground and digging down
some eleven feet, there having been a
heavy ill in the street at this point
since the pipes were laid down. The
ground was frozen to depth of over
four feet. Later-The trouble has
been found and remedied.

violin, Mr.. Alex. Heindl's performances
on the violoncello, Mr.. Greene's hand

warmly applauded, and most of these

orchestra playing was the best we have
ever heard in st. Johnsbury, and most
of it was appreciated by the audience.

sensations mentioned last week, Mr..

presented him with handsome Smith

Kinney has done faithful and etfectual
work in the choir and other depart

about the matter and will give the mu-
sic-loving people of this region IA
chance to do their part. Subscription
books have been opened at c. c. Bling
hams, T. c. Spencer's and Fairbanks
office, in which those who desire to
hear Miss Cary can record their names
and the number of tickets they will
take. Lyndon and other towns along
the line will also be thoroughly can
vassed. The reputation of this cele-
DRAFTED singer is enough to warrant IA
musical treat if she can be secured.
OF course this is quite an undertaking
for small community, but we believe
it can be done here; and we hope
those who will take tickets will show
themselves promptly.

The June Century.

The reputation of the Century Magazine as
an art educator is emphasized in the June
number by a brilliant frontispiece portrait Of
Cardinal Newman, by the inimitably raeeY
and breezy sea sketches Of the opening illus
trated paper entitled "Around Cape Horn,"
and by Mrs. Schuyler van Rensselaer's article
on" Wood Engraving and the Century Prizes'
The prize enEravings accompanying this
paper sustain the opinion of the committee
that the results of the second years competi-
ton show marked improvement over the
competition of 1880, and the Magazine renews
the competition for the coming year with an
additional prize, in earnest of its purpose to
encourage beginners.
A notable illustrated article In the June
number is, the concluded paper on "Opera
in New York." by Richard Grant White, con-
tanning portraits Of Mario, Grisi, Louisa
