LAST EVENINGS LEcTURE.-A small
audience greeted the Rev. n. Doane las.
evening; although the subject ana
worthy objecr of the lecturer deserved a
much better appreciation by the public.
Throughout the course OF his remarks
the Speaker was listened to with marked
attention by those present, who were evil
IDENTIFY entertained by the instructive dis
course, which treated, among other in
teresting phenomena, on the causes OF
climatic changes and their corresponding
effect upon the earth; in alluding to the
different degrees of temperature existing
in comparatively the same degree of lati-
tude, he drew attention to the remarka-
BILE fact that upon the 7th day of the pres
ent north, several cities in the United
States recorded an extremity of cold
weather, averaging % degrees below
zero; while the record in Port Townsend
on the same day lin a alatidude even high
er than these) gave mean temperature
of So degrees above zero; this fact being
due to the influence of the Japan current
bearing upon this portion of the north
Pac fic coast; the lecturer spoke for about
an hour. The collection taken at the
close amounted to Sc. 80, which will be
donated to the reading room fund.
