sion was severely criticised by the best of peo-
ple." We had thought to pass over the whole
matter with the mild criticism of last week, but
having been severely arraigned and our mo-
tives misrepresented, we deem it best to state
the facts more particularly, and leave the YER
dict with the people. We have taken pains to
interview members OF the Barre Lecture Asso-
citation personally, so that we write understand
ingly. When the lecture committee made out
their programme last fall they were informed
by one of their number, who is a respected
member of the Methodist society, that they
could depend on Chaplain McCabe, and he was
accordingly announced among their speakers
but it turned out later that he had been en-
gagged by the Methodists for $50, and that the
proceeds were to be for the benefit of that So
ciety. In the meantime General n. P. Banks
had been secured by the lecture association
for the same date. 1t was mutually agreed
that a compromise should be effected, and the
association offered to fix another day for Gem
eral Banks and pay S75 for the chaplain, thus
allowing the Methodist society to make the S25.
This offer was accepted with evident satisfac-
tion, and the lecture was duly announced as
under the auspices of the lecture association
Now we submit that no lecturer, who is thus
hired, has any right to advertise anything,
however good it may be or for whatever cause.
The fact that the editor of the Messenger has
studiously kept aloof from the lectures since
he was not permitted to manage the whole
affair, but was at the front " ON this occasion,
was not balm to the feelings of some of the
audience. AS to "the aninlus of The WATCH
MAN toward the interests of Methodism," this
paper has absolutely no unfriendly animus to-
ward Methodism, whatever may be its feeling
toward some of Its meddlesome representatives.
We have no reason and no desire in any way
to say anything to the injury of that denomin-
alton, and shall endeavor to refrain from any
further controversy with this beligerent editor.
1t is but fair to say that the criticism COM
planned of did not not emenate from our regular
correspondent.

Judge Wheeler, both before and after his ap-
pOintment, but at the time the appointment
was made, as between Judge Poland and any
other man, who In his view stood any chance
to get the appointment, Mr.. Phelps was for
Judge Poland. and he and Stoughton got the
trial of the Emma mine case adjourned for a
day or two, and Stoughton went on to Wash
iDgton, with Phelps approval and concurrence,
to help Poland. OF course this support Of Po-
land meant no hostility to Wheeler or objection
to his appointment, for at that time 1t was not
supposed there was any prospect for Wheelers
appointment, as he was not known to be can
didate. Wesay this much finally about a mat
ter that was deemed Of enough consequence to
be not only the subject Of a long leading edito-
rial In the Argus, but the theme Of column
on special dispatches to the Boston Herald from
the same source. II Mr.. Phelps bears Judge
Poland any personal grudge, certainly he did
not stoop to any unprofessional impeachment
Of Judge Poland's eminent fitness for the judi
cial position in question, but preferred him to
any Of the candidates then known to be In the
field; and 1t is but just to him to say that the
gus has been misinformed In regard to the
attitude Of Mr.. Phelps"
AMONG the members OF Washington county
bar Is one who is called by his irreverent
brethren, "Old Necessity" because, 1t is
averred, he "knows no law" This, 1t Is be-
lieved, Is "twitting on facts" and so should
not be legitimate subject for levity How
ever this may be, he evidently knows no
law OF truth or honor or common decency.
Still he has caught on with grip charac-
teiistic Of total deprsvity to the pettifogger g
maxim, when you have no case, abuse the

Christmas day, 1868. On the evening Of
the 1th December, there was social party
at farmer Barker's house, and among the
guests was young man with
whom Miss Barker danced twice in
succession. Young Craig reproved her
for such marked attention to another and
told her that he did not wish her 70 dance
again with the young man in question.
This aroused the spirit of tho young lady.
and she replied that she would dance with
him or any else chose and as many times
as she liked. Craig tLel informed her
that she might do so, but that she wouldn't
see him again for 90 years To this she
tauntingly replied that "he couldn't STAY

he was missing. He lived with his parents.
