assembled at the North Church Wednesday
evening, April 9TH. to hear the lecture on
the Castles of England and Scotland" 1t
was, we believe, Miss Sbley's first attempt
in public, and she has reason to feel proud
of her success. She spoke in an easy man
ner, and her lecture displayed not only a
large amount of historical reading, but was
the more interesting from embody ing person
al observations on the places described. The
lecture was illustrated With the stereopticon.
A PLEASANT PARTY. One of our young
ladies, of whom Belfast may we'll be proud
for her kindness and generosity, gave a

an opportunity, and their hearts We're made
glad with music games and bountiful
supper. In a word they We're treated by
their kind hostess, Miss Blanche Sullivan,
With the same courtesy and cordiality they
| would have received had they come from
homes as beautiful as her own. Miss Char
lotte T. Siblev gladly assisted her in receiv-
ing the happy children.

STEAMER NOTES. The fact that the Nal
Tory Steamship Co. had bought the steam
| er Winthrop and would place her on the
New York and St. John route was ANNOUNCE
ed last week. The Rotkland Opinion saws
that the New York and Bangor route will
also be occupied. The Lucy p. Miller is to
be discarded, as too small and lacking in
passenger accommodations, and the COM
pany will place on the route between New
York and Rockand and ports up the bay
and river one of their elegant boats used in
the winter season on their Florida route
either the Caracas OF Colorado The Win
throp will run en- the route between New
