A Lady's Criticism.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I read your very just criticism of the lec- ture on Spain delivered by MT. John L. 5tod- dard, and was pleased that you noticed the fact that the pictures were hardly equal to the standard he usually maintains, for having greatly praised his illustrations of his iee- lures to a friend who has now heard him for the first time I found myself obliged to apologize for this opening lecture, and ex- cuse to her both the pictures and the lecturers choice of themes for cultured and Christian audience. The bull fight might have been omitted wholly. It is too barbarous an'amuse: ment for any really refined person to care that it should be brought so wildly before him, and the confession of the lecturer that he entered into the excitement of such an en- tertainment only proves that he is more sus- ceptible to immediate surroundings than some of the Clair women and brave men, who looked upon those scenes and heard his descriptions with disgust and thorough disapprobation. Not few of the allusions and anecdotes of the lecture could also have been spared, eren if Yale students were to be amused. Yale professors and students can discern the difference between smartness and wit, and the A. B. O. F. M has more friends than foes. Moreover, as the students are pretty well amused in other ways, MT. Stoddard might we'll bestow more effort on instruction and digniGed entertain- ment, and leave comedians to attend to the jokes of doubtful wit.
 Hoping that for the rest of the course the themes will be treated with dignity, as he is able to treat them, and the illustra- tions be worthy of the lectures and lecturer, I sign myself as one who has long been

The Anderson Will Case.

NEwBURGH, Jan. 8.-The John Anderson will case assumed new phase in the Su- preme court here yesterday. The motion before Judge Brown was made to punish Mrs. Laura V. Appleton, John c. Anderson's sis ter, and her lawyers, Messrs. Dill, Chandler and Seymour, for contempt of court. It is alleged that they violated an injunction of Judge Pratts, which forbade them from be- ginning any proceedings in regard to the es- tate of the wealthy tobacconist while the suit of John C. Anderson to test the validity of the will was in progress. This latter case has been working it's slow progress through court for some time, and the injunction was granted to restrain the heirs from interfer- ing. The injunction was served in October last, and it is charged that Mrs. Appleton and her lawyers violated it the very next day, when they instituted 8 suit which in effect locked the whole estate up as tight as drum. It is for this that punishment is now sought, but it is not intended to fine or imprison Mrs. Appleton and her lawyers. The motion is intended more to remove the lis pendens that was filed when the suit was begun. The argument was fiery and inter esting, and the court reserved it's decision.
