eminiscence which followed. The December meeting on the 18th was also held, for convenience, in the Mystic vestry. Prof. Arthur I. Andrews spoke on The Balkans and United States' Influence There, illustrating with views taken by himself,—a most excellent address but not largely attended. The annual meeting was held on January 15, 1923, in the slave quarters of the Royall house. It proved to be a very cold night and but few were present, some coming the long distance from Stoneham and Newton. The usual reports were made, but election of officers was postponed. February 19. Weather conditions bad and fuel conditions worse. A slight increase in attendance. Election of officers and interests of society discussed. The March meeting on evening of 19th was at the close of a rainy, dismal day. Fourteen (including three visitors from Somerville society) braved the sudden cold to attend.

ates. Saturday Jan. 19th, 1861. The House was called to order at 12 o'clock M., by Speaker Critchfield. The Throne of Grace was eloquently addressed by Rev. C. H. Read, of the United Presbyterian Church. Personal Explanation.--Mr. Newton rose to a personal explanation. He had seen his name included, in one of the morning papers, among those who were either absent or did not vote upon the bill appropriating $1,000,000 for the defence of the State. He was present, and voted disry, which will not secure to each section a self-protecting power against any invasion of the Federal Union upon the reserved rights of either. On motion, the question was divided, and the vote being taken on the first resolution it was carried on a call of the ayes and noes--83 to 4. On the adoption of the second resolution the vote was equally decided. These resolutions are the same in substance with those offered by Mr. Newton and Mr. Seddon on Wednesday last. Adjourned.

English hymns. --A writer in "Frazer's Magazine" says there are about 5,000 hymns in the English language, whereof Watts wrote 600; Doddridge, 375; the Wesleys, 369; Cooper and Newton, about 400; Montgomery, 255, &c.: but it is doubtful if there are 200 of them that are fit to rank among the classics of the national poetry.

deep had been his own attachment for the Union, he called the attention of the audience to the division of the Methodist Church, which was so distracted by discussions of the slavery question that he saw a continuance of the union with the Northern Church must inevitably lead to a calamitous result. To prevent this, he voted to separate from those with whom he had long been united by sacred ties. The entire address was a logical and profound elucidation of the subject announced, and if there was a heart that did not glow more warmly with a love for the South and her institutions, it would not respond to the patriot's boast that his "first, best country ever is at home." After the close of Dr. Smith's address, strong State's-Rights speeches were made by Mr. Newton, of Hanover, Messrs, Randolph. Steger, Tucker and Gordon. The sentiments favoring secession in preference to submission to Black Republican rule, were warmly applauded. Mr. Geo. D. Shell presided over the meeting.

, attended by the Armory Band, and, halting in front of the Ex-change, gave a serenade to some of the distinguished gentlemen sojourning there. We could not ascertain for whom the compliment was intended. It was reported that a Union demonstration was to be made, and that Messrs. Summers and Rives would speak; but neither of them appeared. The music and military went off up town, but a large crowd had meanwhile gathered, manifesting a determination to hear somebody; so Messrs. Gor-don and Newton gave them a few secession touches. We believe this satisfied the popular clamor. Mr. John Septon appears at the Theatre tonight, and the managers offer an attractive bill for the termination of his brief engagement. A glance at the bill for the evening will furnish convincing proof that a good performance will be given. In the Federal Court, the jury in the case of Capt. John Lockhart are still unable to agree on a verdict. In the Hustings Court, the case of the people vs. L
