We are pleas- ed to know that the reverend gentle- man intends to visit Durham again at an early date. The weather was disagreeable, but the hall was fairly well tilled.

ON Friday evening last a goodly number of our citizens assembled in the town hall to listen to an illustrat- ed lecture by Rev. Mr. Young of Hamilton. The stereopticon and city-hydrogen attachments were in position, Mr. Calder was in the chair, the speaker was in readiness, and the singers in first class form. A fine entertainment was expected.
