Mrs. Nix LEcrURE-On Monday even

an audience to sit in the hall comfortably
the ball having poor ventilation. She com

her listeners until nearly II o'clock. 1t wa
not particularly logical lecture, but full %
sharp hits at the follies of both men ant
women and their hypoeracy, both in an,
out of the church. She was bold and dar
ing in her expressions more than ordinaril,
refined in her language, esehewing every
thing Ike vulgarity and grossness some
what dramatic in her style of olocution
the gestures were graceful, and her infec
tons aud information of voice, were almos
faultncss; aud her vivacity of style an'
manners were far above the majority o
speakers, who enjoy reputation of bein
among the best of orators.
