THREE CITIES OF ITALY.
4 Vivid Description by Harry w. French
OF Milan. Florence and Venice.

Mr.. Harry w. French delivered another of
his instructive and extremely entertaining il
lustrated lectures before large apprecistive
guidance in Music Hall last evening. The
subject was "Three Cities of Italy, which
proved to be an excellent theme for an eve
ning's entertainment. Being thoroughly
familiar with the subject in hand Mr.. French
gave a vivid description of every point upon
which he touched. Starting out with short
sketch of the interesting places seen as Italy
is entered through the Simpion Pass Milan is
soon reached. Its appearance from without
il carefully portrayed. Entering the histor-
ic city the lecturer makes his hearer see
everything so plainly that it seems as if he
we're indeed in Milan. Leaving the first of
the three cities, moonlight trip down the
river ArnO to Florence. which, as in the other
case, is given skillfnl attention, both without
and within. Here are beautiful palaces,
magnificent churches, famous galleries, Won
derful statuary, which seems almost to move
and be about to speak, so life-like is it. But
Florence 10 at last left behind and Venice,
the"City of the Sea-" is seen as it appears by
night and then in all the splendor Of mag
nificent sunrise. The pictures, as thrown
upon the screen by Mr. French, aided him
greatly in this part of the lecture, as they
did, in fact throughout. Where words failed
to fully convey the desired idea charming
view was never wanting, and so smoothly
was the audience carried from one point to
another that the entire lecture was left fixed
in the mind like one large picture. Mr..
French's pleasing manner and great dlscrlp-
tive power, together with the remarkable
changes of light and shade. sunlight and
moonlight in his views, made the evening
one of great enjoyment to all.

correspondent in . letter to the Ontario
County Times. . paper published At Canaan
daigua, N. Y, writes as follows, from East
Bloomfield, N. Y, in regard to the resigna-
ton Of Rev. Arthur T. Skeele from the
pastorate Of the Congres ationalist church in
that town, to come to Augusta:
can anticipated loss has come upon East
Bloomfield in the resignation of A. F. Skeele
from the pastorate of the Congregational
church. For some time past a church in
Augusta, Maine, has been in correspondence
with him, in reference to becoming its
pastor and removing to that place. The call
has been so persistent that two weeks since
he went to investigate the case, and came
back with his mind made up to resign his
position here and take up his duties in an
other and . larger field. To this end his res
ignation was read last Sunday, and to-day
formal meeting of church and society have
yielded TO An acceptance, and next Monday
council convenes to conclude the whole
AFFAIR. We voice the people generally, and
the church particularly, when we say we
regret exceedingly the movement and wish
that these things might not be; still, we
would not keep Mr.. Skeele against
his convictions of right and wrong,
ana therefore submit, trusting that ne
il not directing his own ways, but is
following the leadership of Him whose he is,
and whom he is striving most faithfully to
serve. He came to US under dark shadow
- successor to his lamented father, our be-
loved pastor, who, having labored with US for
seven and . half years with wonderful sue
cess, was called up higher, leaving his church
- sheep without a shepherd; when who so
suitable to take his place as the son, just
completing his theological course. The call
was given, and, after deliberation and much
trepidation, accepted; and he has been q most
faithful and earnest worker in every depart
ment Of his field, but particularly among the
youth he has been eminently successful.
And now all we can do is to commend him to
the tender mercies of the church who have
attained their end sincerely praying that the
union may prove blessing to pastor and
people at the same time invoking Gods rich
est blessings to rest upon him and his, both
temporarily and spiritually"
The same Journal says editorially;
EAST Bloomfield will not be alone in her
regret for the resignation by Rev. A. F.
Skeele, of the pastorate OF her Congregational
church. Mr.. Skeele has preached occasion
ally in Canandaigua and other neighboring
towns, and has wide circle of friends and
admirers. The ministry has few young men
of brighter promise, and from the wider field
upon which he is to enter in Augusta, Maine,
we expect to hear many good reports OF his
usefulness and progress"
