Two Lectures. The lecture by Villa

TwOLectures.-Th lecture by Villa
H. McEIroy last Friday evening on "Fa-
nous men at famous dinners" was an
interesting description OF the after part
of big dinners at which were present the
leading men OF the country in politics,
literature, etc. 1t was not, really, a lee
ture, sort of rambling talk interspersed
with an occasional after-dinner story
and some incidents in the after. dinner
experiences of famous men. He had at
tended dinners at which were present
such men as Cleveland, Harrison, Gen.
Sherman, David B. Hill, H. w. Grady,
Horace Porter, Mark Twain, Emerson,
Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, George
William Curtis, Robert Browning and
others. He has been in touch, more or
less, with all these men, and it was inter-
esting to hear him speak of them.
The lecture by Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus
Wednesday evening more than met ex-
pectation. Not for long time has a
st. Johnsbury audience listened to a
speaker who for over two hours has
held their attention so closely as Dr.
Gunsaulus He has powerful, pleasing
voice, and two hours use did not appear
to affect it, Hislanguage was charming,
gestures fine and his whole manner
remarkably graceful. His illustrations
were magnificent, his humor pure and
pleasing, and his dramatic instinct was
of high order.
DR.. Gunsaulus subject was "a chap.
ter in the history of liberty" and he
took as an example of pure patriotism
and craftsmanship the story of Jerome
Savouorola, born in Farara, Italy, and
most OF his days ST ent in Florence. Some
might not have been familiar with the
story, some may have never heard OF it
but in such logical manner did he treat
it, so plainly did he make it, so easy wa.
it to listen to him, so eloquent was h,
and so pleasing and laughable was h
numor, that one could not help but Civ
the closest attention and be great,
! instructed and entertained.

A Runaway. Arthur Annis and
Arthur Sprague, while out sleighing
Monday afternoon with one of S. L.
Moores livery teams, were capsized near
Florist Gibbs house. The horse ran
down Summer to Main street and then
made a trip to Eastern avenue at record
breaking speed. At the depot he turned
to the right and ran into the iron railing
on the side of the west platform, knock
ing down part Of the railing. Horse and
sleigh landed in heap in the corner next
to the platform inside the railing. The
sleigh was not much damaged beside the
breaking of one thill. The horse was
badly cut about the ankle and bruised in
various places. A lameness for some
time will probably be the result. The
horse was hurt some while running, as
the front of the sleigh was covered with
blood. Sprague was driving and when
the sleigh went over lost hold of the
reins after being dragged a short dis
tance 1t is fortunate that the horse met
with no obstruction while going down
Eastern avenue as the damage would
then have been much worse.

"Harris' Weekly" Sold.-J. E. Har

AAAAA'o w S~Niy coiN' j. lie iidi :
ris has sold his Weekly, published here
for over year, to G. G. Blood, former
North Bennington newspaper man. The
name and day of publication will not be
changed and the first Harris Weekly"
under the new proprietorship comes out
next week. Mr. Blood has rented the
ro oms i'll the Odd Fellows block lately
vacated by Lawyer Montgomery, and
the same rooms where the old Index
was published. A peculiar incident is the
fact that it was Is years ago that Harris
sold the Index and lett Tor southern
trip. He is contemplating a southern
trip now in the hope that it will be a
benefit to his wife, who has tor some
time been an invalid. But he does not
intend to let things remain quiet long in
Vermont and will before long probably
be found on some state paper making its
columns spicy and readable. He has is
sued a lively sheet while here and the
new proprietor has a task before him in
keeping up the standard.
