E.. Field of Worthington ridge. As a result, the program was not as interesting as it might have been and a debate on "The Compensation Act merely took the form of a discussion by Charles Warren and E. Stearns, the other dis putants, Messrs. Roby and Wilcox,
 
 being absent

 Providing the atmospheric condi- tions are favorable, the next meeting of the Literary society will take place Monday evening, March [, at which time Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, Miss S. Churchill Mrs. F. w. Mildrum and Mrs. w s. Brandegee will discuss the subject, Sir Sam Johnson and His Time.'' Messrs. Savage and Shepherd will talk on current events.
