tenth birthday with party last Monday
evening. 1t is not strictly correct TO say
she observed the birthday, for the birth
day didn't come on that day, but two or
three DAYS earlier. About sixteen OF
her Young friends were present and
passed an enjoyable evening, besides
leaving her some pleasant reminders OF
the occasion.
Following a fine November day Sat
urday and a mild evening, people were
greatly surprised Sunday morning TO see
six inches of heavy snow on the GROUND.
Numerous sleighs were out during the
day, which is quite good story Tor the
18th of November, and the weather con-
tiuuing to grow cold until the thermome-
ter stood at about 10 Monday morning,
the snow is pretty well frozen down,
aud sleigbs are still in commission.
liam not here tonight to entertain
you, but to exemplify my subject, and
you will GO home saying that | am the
biggest humbug of them all" This
was the taking introduction OF Dr. Smith
Baker TO his lecture on "Hum6ugs a.
the Congregational church THURSDAY
evening. Then he proceeded to take up
the social humbug, which be treated AT
some length, and so on through series
of other humbugs to the religious hum
bug. 1t was bright satire on the foilies
and errors of the age, done in DIR.
Bakers original aud inimitsble style,
Most of it was in general terms and
therefore universally approved, though
occasionally he verged on the personal
az when he told how John b Cough
quit smoking, and remarked, "rhere are
some before me here tonight who CAM
do that" Again he followed one OF his
apt stories illustrating bis point VIII
the remark, "A stingy Christian is
humbug"-and in the same breath, "Die
hit anybody" He spoke for an hour
and ten minutes, and effectually provec
that he was a humbug when he made
that Introductory remark. There was
good audience to hear the lecture, which
was given under the auspices OF th'
Christian Endeavor Society.
