Rev. Alonzo Scott gave his lecture
at Town Hall Monday evening to
good sized audience. He dwelt
mainly upon his personal life, giving
an account of his early boyhood, his
slavery and what he did after free
dom. He touched upon his service in
the ministry, the regular army, and
his work in the lecture field, the main
object of the latter being to raise
funds to publish hymn book for his
people. He referred briefly to his
MOrrisville experience. He was led
into evil by being introduced to q
certain person there as "a Christian
gentleman and a member of the
church." which he afterwards found
was untrue. He had taken liquor
freely because of his rattesnake bite,
which a physician told him was the
only relief he could ever get. He
thought this was true, hence his
drinking. The past two months had
led him to believe differently and he
was now of the opinion that alcohol
was far worse for anybody than the
most rabid snake bites. He processes
sincere sorrow for his errors, and de-
clares he will not be again led into
such an experience as belel him at
Morrisville. Mr.. Scott is a pleasing
talker and held the attention of his
hearers for over two hours. From
here he goes to Wolcott. On Tues
day evening be lectured on the trace
problem" TO fair-sized audience.
