LECTURE ON SCOTLAND.
Delivered Before Waterbury Mems
 Club By Rev. James Grant.

Hunting is fun but poaching is an absolute delight said Rev. James Grant of New Haven, in his address on Life Among the Scottish High Iands' given before the Mems Social union in the First Baptist church last night says The Waterbury American. He told graphically of rbagging a couple of white hares, and then, when the fun would have been over in America, it had only begun for him, for he never knew when a ganekeeper might jump out from behind a copse and place him under arrest, and how he had stolen home across the fields in trembling terror
 'There are no wooden dwellings in
 the Highlands." he said ''The only buildings of wood are the barn or hen
 house or pigSty. The houses are built
 of gray stone that are like your moth
 CT. plain without any gingerbread
 trimmings and without any paint on
 it's face, and like your fathers char 9cter, strong and rugged that IS built on propositions from the Westminster Catechism. There are no rocking
 chairs there. The chairs are like the people who sit on them, steadfast and immovabie. And they have no stoves,
 but you needn't feel sorry for them, be-
 cause they feel sorry for you that in
 stead of a cheerful hearth stone round
 which to sit you have only a pipe in the wall or 8 black hole in the floor"
 MT. Grant told interestingly o1 the
 Scottish clans how many families of
 the same name live in a place al
 though they may not be at all related.
 In the school which he attended there
 Were twenty three James Grants. By the school masters they were num- bered. The speaker was James Grant,

the autopsy, and tended to indicate that Mr Neff died simply from the effects of excessive drinking.
 The various organs were found to be in perfect condition, with the eX- ception of the stomach that showed manifest signs of acute irritation from alcohol. There was no injury to the skull and the injuries about the head proved to be entirely superficial Not q thing was found to substantiate the theory of external violence and the opinion of the medical examiner is that Nem drank a considerable quantity of liquor quickly and that the alcohol poisoned his system and caused death.
 Neff was not a steady thinker and that is the reason why the different organs were in such fine condition. A further analysis of small portion of the contents of the stomach is to be made, but the medical examiner does not anticipate any developments that will materially affect the original verdict.
 Coroner Bill was present at the au- topsy Thursday. It is a closed case as far as the county is concerned, and no further investigation will be made by the authorities.
