lectures on Art.

There is talk of inviting Mr.. Sidney Dick
enson of Northampton, Mass, to deliver his
series of art lectures before the Portland So
ciety of Art this winter Mr.. Dickinson is a
graduate of Amherst College and has the
strong endorsement of John A. Lowell, Mr..
Bicknell and other well known art conneis-
seurs This course of lectures Mr.. Dickinson
will deliver before the Boston Art Club, Am
herst College and other prominent institu-
tions this coming winter. He has done ex-
eellent work as art critic for the Boston
Journal The greater part of these lectures
has been written in theyery presence, as it
were, of the paintings which they describe;
careful revision of the entire series has
since been undertaken, and each lecture re-
written with reference to its proper rela-
ton to the work as whole. The purpose of
these lectures is two-f6ld-to instruct the
student in the growth and development of
art systems, and to give to the public gener-
ally an idea of the cities, galleries and pic
lures that are best worth seeing in the Old
World. In order that the subject may be
more inviting and easily understood, the
author has endeavored to clothe his observa-
lions in as simple dress as possible, and has
prepared a copious selection of stereopticon
views, showing the finest reproductions of
the works described, by which the lectures
will be illustrated. The government of the
Portland Society of Art will hold meeting
Monday and it is hoped the members of the
club will notify the members of the govern
ment before that time as to the advisability
of making an arrangement with Mr.. Dicken-
son for the lectures. The delivery of such a
course could not fail to be highly instructive
and Interesting toraall interested in art in

Kidd,s Treasure.

The Belfast Journal says: "The past
week three men from New Brunswick have
been here searching for treasure that years
ago was said to exist on Macs Point. There
is an old tradition that claims "a deposit of
Kidd's treasure there and rumor says that at
the weird hour of midnight, after killing a
black cat and sprinkling the blood about a
boat load of our old inhabitants guided by
witch hazel dug pretty well over the front
side of the point, but did not succeed in find
ing the treasure. The party recently here
are guided by a person who lived here in
ante-belfum days but who now denies his
identity. Joel, who is hard man to deceive
patted him on the Shoulder and said How
are you Joe5 The party addressed said,
You are mistaken; my name is Smith,, Said
Joel; Don't you suppose / know Joe
Fowler% Knowing the sagaeity of Joel in
such matters may of our citizens believe him
in the right, but we again reiterate, Was it
Joe?"

started from this city few weeks ago, is
