A large and appreciative audience
listened to Major II. c. Danes lecture
on Great Naval Engagements of the
Rebellion, at Music hall Tuesday even
ing, and according to popular verdict,
it was one of the finest lectures of the
course. The engagements described
were the battle between the Merrimack
and Monitor at Hampton Roads, the
capture of New Orleans under Admiral
Farragut, both in 1862, and the battle
of Mobile Bay, under the same great
commander, in the summer of 1864.
The lecture was one of most thrilling
interest, the speakers fervid eloquonce
and graphic description holding the
audience so closely that few present
were conscious at the close of the lee
ture that it had occupied two hours
and a quarter. A more effective and
entertaining orator is rarely heard oil
the lecture platform. A vein of dry
humor throughout the address con
trasted pleasantly with the more dra-
matte and serious portions. The awful
and exciting scenes of battle were
brought before the hearers mind in Il
series of word painting of such re-
markable power and vividncss that it
was almost surprise to find that one
had been sitting quietly all the even
ing many hundreds of miles distant

THE IMMEDIATE DELIVERY MAIL
SYSTEM.
st. Johnsbury is one of the six tewns
in Vermont which will benefit by the
Immediate delivery" system of the
post office department, which goes into
effect July |. The law provides that
special stamp of the value of ten
cents may be attached to a letter,
which in addition to the regular post
age, will entitle the letter to immedi-
ate delivery by messenger between Z
O'clock a. m. and midnight, within the
carrier limits of any free delivery Of
fee, or within one mile of the post
Office i'll towns not having the free de-
livery. The provisions of this law are
limited to places of 1000 population OF
over. This means, as Postmaster Car
penter understands it, net the pOpula-
ton of the town, but the population
supplied by a single post office. I'm
der this construction, the law can be
applied to- the ST. JOhnshury post of
flee, exclusive of the smaller offices at
the Centre and East villages and at
Summerville, all of which are in the
township. 1t does not seem as if this
provision would be very extensively
made use of, though cases of emergen-
cy are easily thought of where it might
prove n great convenience. The other
post offices in Vermont having a popu-
latiOR emitting them to the privileges
of the law are at Rutland, Burlington,
st. Adams, Bennington and Brattle-
boro. No special instructions have been
seat to the pOstmasteTs at this place
yet, and are not expected till about the
time when the law takes effect.

The next evening, the Goth, opened
with "The Midshipmite"-eleven little
boys in sailors costume who sang roll
licking songs and looked as much like
"sad sea dogs as they wished and in
tended. They scraped matches for
their pipes on their trousers, with vim
and dexterity which made an old lady
on our right remark, Laws mussy if
that don't look exactly like them boys is
used to smokin." By unanimous re-
quest, Miss Corinne Isaac recited "Sister
and |" with even more pathos than on
the previous evening. The little angel
too in the tableau of the poem-Miss
Augusta Lastrapes-loOked more angel
ic than ever. The Cantata of the Flow
er Queen closed the evening, and it
abounds in pretty songs and tableaux.
But where there is a rosebud garden of
girls before you lOOkingso bewildering-
ly charming, that your very soul is stol-

seemed to lun into one, and that was

back in my memory" So the rose, and
the white, and the blue, the yellow, the

was very lovely whole which we can't
separate. Some one else must judge
which one of the flowers sang the best.

get some young man for 25 per Ger cent. to
canvass the parish with model gate and sell
it off by farm rights which would certaily pay
