WHERE GREAT INTEREST AND ENTHU-
 sIAsM ARE COMMON.
 To give the people of Newtown and . vicinity suggestion Of the treat that | awaits them when Will Carlton comes here for his fascinating lecture, on the evening of Tuesd&y, November 10, nOth- ing better can be said than to quote bod | fly the report of 8 lecture that he gave at the summer assembly at Chautauqua Lake, New York. Here it is: On the evening of the first of August 1000 people were gathered in and about the great auditorium at Chautauqua, to see and hear Will Carlton. It was the largest crowd of the season, and it ex- pectcd great deal. It had had the best, so far, that could be got, from all over l the world, and would be content with nothing but Lhe bet. Old lecturers and rcciters who were present said, Il wouldn't like to face that crowd, much IS like large audiences" There was only one man to entertain that vast crowd, but he was two-hundred-pound CT, and 8 goodIy part of him was heart and brain. It was the only man that could draw such an audience, even at Chautauqua; it was the renowned Will Carleton. He stepped quietly and un- concerncdly upon the platform; a nigh " cheer awaited him; it was like the waves breaking on the shore. Flowers awaited him. from old college friends, many of whom were present. He was not unaffected by all this evidence of the regard in which he is held; but he had Co break the intense silence that ensued after the bursta of applause had ceased ; and he needed every power of mind and heart to do it. He commenced as calmly As if he were talking to a friend at his side; but every word was heard by the whole 70O0. More and more intense grew the audience; for the first time, that vast temple of oratory was so still that peO- pie could hear the ticking of each others watches, for many seats around. 1 All at once, as he would conclude a per- iod, or a recitation, cheer would rise that would make the roof tremble; then the same deep, impressive, unpreceden. ted silence. In the midst of one of these he paused, stood for a moment silent looked at his watch, and said, quietly Il have spoken l5 minutes over my time" (They are very strict about such matters, at Chautauqua). "GC on, go on! go on!" came from all di rections. "Go on!" shouted young Win cent, who was presiding. For 3C minutes longer still, he held that vas multitude; laughing, crying, doing an! thlug he liked to have them. He closed at last, amid such tempest of applaus as Chautauqua had never heard before t and people gathered around him iron all parts of the country; old readers old friends, those who had heard him be fore. Aren't you awfully tired fo speaking to such large audience?"
