BELVA LOCKWOOD.
This lady, whose name is familiar
throughout our country, is to deliver
her lecture ''Social and Political Life
in Washington" at town hall in Nor
risville Saturday, Oct. %. She comes
under the auspices of the Universalist
Ladies' Circle, and we bespeak for her
good hearing. Below are a few
opinions of the press:
Her subject was "Social and Political Life
in Washington" and for an hour and hall
she talked as only a woman can talk when
she knows what she is talking about. 1t is
impossible within the compass of news
paper article to give even fair synop-
sis of what she said. Her subject was ham
died ably in all its phases, and there wasn't a
dull moment in her talk. Her long residence
in Washington, her profession. and her aSso-
citation with public men well qualify her to
entertain an audience and maintain its inter
est. She is rather a pleasant-looking lady,
occasionally shoots off sarcasm, gets in a lit
tie humor, and talks in fairness of the great
lentown Chronicle and News.
The hall was packed with farmers, young
and old. and their wives and daughters.
Every seat was filed and there was no stand
ing-room either in the aisles or on the stage.
A black fringe of legs dangled over the edge
of the platform, swinging in mid air. Mrs.
Lockwoods subject was THE Tendency of
Parties and of Governments.-[New York
World.
THE FLAG-RAISING.
A very cold and wet day did not
seem to lessen the enthusiasm and in
terest of our people in the ceremony
of accepting the beautiful flag recent
~ presented to the school by B. H.
Sanborn of Boston. A handsome
flagstaff had been erected upon the
belfry, and there the flag was hauled
up. Adjourning then to Academy
hall, which was well filed, Prof Beebe
opened the exercises with a few we'll
chosen remarks, naming the school
house and academy the forts of the
country, and that therefore it was
fitting that the Stars and Stripes
should float over them. Messrs.
Gates and Doty of thecommittee were
cdlleu upOH anu res pOuueu NIUH DTlel,
remarks. A unanimous
of thanks to Mr. Sanborn
was made by the school and audience.
The remainder of the exercises were
exceedingly well rendered by the stu
dents as follows:
