DONALD DowNle's LECTURE.

The illustrated lecture on the subject,
Through Great Britain and Ireland, -
which Donald Downe is to give at the
town hall on the evening of Thursday.
the 10Th inst, under the auspices of the
ladies of the Congregational church,
promises to be one of the best entertain
ments of the sort afforded in Middlehury
for years. The press speak of him in
terms OF the highest praise. One promi-
nent journal says: "Donald Downie has
imported revolution into illustrated
lectures. We can very distinctly re-
member lectures which seemed to he
mere explanations of the plain photo
graphs, and which seemed to interrupt
our enjoyment of the views, but Mr..
Downie's dscourses vie with his mag
nificent colored views and are scholarly
and eloquent as the illustrations are ar
tistic. No one but was sorry when the
hour and IA half of travel had closed, it
seemed so short, and so much enchant-
ing information had been conveyed in
such pleasing and eloquent manner
The audience frequently testified their
appreciation by loud applause. Another
feature of this entertainment, and one
which is unique, is the superb mechani-
cal effects given in the intermission and
at the close. If there be not a fortune
in store for Prof. Downie with these
illustrated lectures it would seem to be
no fault of his own. Another paper
says: "Mr. Downle has happy faculty
of description and held the audience well
in hand both by the lecture and the
beautiful illustrations. The latter were
very realistic and those who witnessed
them haye now fair knowledge of the
scenery and even of the habits of the
people of that land The tickets will be

France is deeply stirred by the revela-
tions of scoundrelism in connection with
the Panama canal swindle. Many high
officials have been implicated, and for a
while 1t looked as though another revo-
luton might result from it. The aglta-
tion is queting somewhat, however, al
though the trial of the members of the
ring is still going on. The evidence al
ready brought out shows that the affairs
of the canal company were carried on
with the most wasteful extravaganza.
One witness estimated the cOmpanY's
receipts at .434. .000.000 francs, of which
he said l99, 900, 900 were swallowed up by
expenses of the management, 249 OOO,OOO
by interest upon the coupons and 300
0O0 600 by canal operations. OF the last
mentioned sum, 107 900 francs went
directly to workmen and 4l3,OOO,OOO
went to contractors. Four contractors
made profit of II, 900, 900 francs.

is fair, but not tirst-cass, the stones and
hummocks of earth sticking up through
the snow on the country roads. MAJ y
residents of the village and its vicln-
ity have experienced much trouble
from frost getting into their cellars.
Cellars which never before allowed their
contents to get fro,t-bltten have failed
to protect them this time. Another
uncomfortable result of the prolonged
cold is the scarcity of water in cisterns,
wells and springs. That is not SO
bothers )me in the village as it might be,
but on farms the drouth makes no end
of trouble. In some cases stock has to
be driven long distances to water.

Probably the meanest thing when
10Th century journalism has afforded Is
contained in the obituary notice of ex-
President Hayes in the New York Sun,
That paper has spoken of him and OF
all his acts with the utmost contempt,
but it might well have ceased its mani
festatons of enmity with his death.
The obituary ends thus, which is fair
specimen of the whole AFTER his re-
tirement from the Office to which another
had been elected, MIR Hayes returned
to his home in Fremont, where he con-
tinued until his death in the peaceful
pursuit of rails ing chickens.
