The Reading Circle met on Tuesday,
evening Of this week at the house of Mrs
F. A. Curtis. The exercises, upon the
great SHAKESPEARE, were under the drec-
ton of Miss Francis Hurd. An interest
ing and novel feature was the acting of a
dialogue, in which several of the celebra-
ted women Of Shakspere carry on con-
versation in the style and tone peculiar
to each respectively, afiording valuable
means Of comparing their several lido
syncrasies and feelings. The young lit
dies Of the Circle also tried to settle the
question of the authorship ofShakspere's
plays, but grappled with this question in
vain. The meeting as whole was one
of the most successful yet held.

W. O. T. 0. Holds a Anniversary

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union of Newark celebrated their first
anniversary on Thursday evening, Dec.
End, $50. The weather being intensely
cold but small audience were in atten-
dance. On the platform, which was
handsomely festooned with flags and the
". c. T. Unions popular motto "For
God, Home and Native Land" was hand
somely made Of lockwood and had a
place beneath the flags. Rev. G. w.
Prettyman opened the exercises by read
ing passage of Scripture, which was
followed by singing, God Bless Our Ma
tive Land" Miss Mamie Whistler pre-
sided at the organ very acceptably. The
President of the Union, Mrs. DIR. Whist
Ter, made an exceedingly appropriate
address, giving brief DESCRIPTION of the
work accomplished, etc. Singing by the
Juvenile Temperance Union, which num-
bered about fifty strong, which were
seated on the platform, merited applause.
Rev. Joseph S. Malone, in a few intro
ductory remarks introducing Mrs. Mar
tin of Baltimore, the lecturer of the
evining. In her remarks she spoke very
encouragingly to the colored people who
were conspicuous in the audience as rep
resentatives of a Union. Still another
sweet song by the Juveniles, then the
closing hymn, "God be with YOU" and
the benediction by Rev. Geo. Porter,
closed the first anniversary, which was
most highly enjoyable in every particu-
lar. Had the weather been pleasant no
doubt the College Oratory would have
been well filled.

Illustrated Bible Lectures.

Charles Wetherell Brewster for the
past two weeks has been giving illustra-
ted Bible lectures in Caskey Hall, and
those who attended pronounced them
greatly superior to anything they had
ever seen or heard. One night of each
week Mr.. Brewster gave Il change Of pro-
gram at which small admission was
charged. On these evenings spiritualism
was shown up very fully, and to the graf
ification and pleasure of those who were
fortunate enough to be present. As a
ventriloquist, we think Mr.. Brewster has
no superior and doubt he has an equal.
The funny talk by the wooden figures
produced uproarous merriment, while
the lecturers feats of ledgerdemain were
exceptionally clever.

should have been, because nothing has
been given here that so richly merited
