The day bad been stormy end the streets and roads bad been filled with unoff to nearly a foot in depth, making pedestrimixm or locomotion in any form a matter of difficulty. In addition to this there was an attrac tion at the County Court Hoase, -where Governor Stewart wn delivering the opening Brsrnnjent in the celebrated cane of Shxrkntt vs. Hammond, and at the request of a number of members of the bar, the 'e3tnrew deferred till 8 oelocK In fc, the lecturer wan so moch annoy ed by the noise and confusion necessary in seating the purchaser of reserved seats, who oxm lte, that be took bin seat for the purpose of allowing the audience to become quu'ted, and it was 81 o'clock be fore the snjotof the lecture wsa fully it-t The eoeaker ornDosed to uive an aroontt of his expirations and adven turen la qnatoriul Atrioa.

He wa only 18 years of Be when be left New Yoak, sail ictr in a vessel bonnd for the Gulf of Guinea, and be was landed upon the shores of the Gulf, two degrees notth of the pq'iHtor, with bi stock in trade, which confuted of bead, tobacco and trinkets; with pans and smmunition and a few necessary scien'ifi instruments thus cutting himself iff from the com forts of homo and civilization for the grati fication of his passion for denture and bis laudable desire to add something to the stock of human knowledge by the col-leotioij of prcinuens of the animal and vegetable hinudom in a country rarely vifited or traveled from any part of the world. The first exhibition of pluck was upon his meeting with the king of the Country upon which he bad landed, and who was inclined drive him away from his territory, bnt after a palaver he not only consented to bis remaining, but made a law in the presence of the assembled court, composed of the patriarchs ot the tribe, tbat the "white spirit" should be protected as to hi person, and that nothing belonging to him should be taken without bis consent. This King, Borrou by name, had seen something of the civilized world, as was evident from the dress in whioh he appeared at the formal palavar which was held- He had on a swallow tailed coat, and the second in power wore a shirt that hud onoe been white the third great man wore a stove-pipe silk bat, with a broad brim, and the little nap that was left upon it brushed the wrong way. These articles of dress were all they exhibited, and the rest of the concourse were entirely nude, both males and females.

Within a few days after landing, our adventurer whs seized with the coast fever, connected with chills, which brought bim down for several weeks, but which be finally conquered by the use of quinine and arseno. lie had fortunately provided himself plentifully with these reuieflies, to WHrd off the diseaaea of the climate, and during the firs' jur years be consumed fourteen ounces of quinine alono. After baconiiug a little acquainted with the language, and famil iar with the men who were to be his guides, and the porters of bis luggage, be started to explore the interior, taking a range of eb-ut 40 miles north and snath of the qnatr. He went down the coast frm his first landing place, with about 400 men in war canoes, distributing his baggaue among them, and reaching the Muni river, about forty miles north of the eqna'or, he struck into the interior in anarch of the Fatner-in-law of the King Borrnu, to whom he had been sent. This "fatber-iu-1w" being also a king and con sidered the best of over two hundred of his fathers-in-law, and selected, after great consideration, as it was important that the four or five hundred porters who had Bccompnnied him should be returned and a new set procured to be his guides and baggage porters in his further ur-neyipgs.

Polygamy, witchcraft and slavery are prevalent i.mong all African tribes, with idolatry snd new moon it fl'ienoes which mke up the principle of their social condition.

M. then gave an account of his rumblings for two years in the jungle, relating many thrilling incidents of hair breadth escapes in his encounters with Wild animals, gorillas, and also bis association with cannibals and tribes marked by hideous degradation.

The lecture was illustrated with drawings of skeletons and skulls, as well as the exhi bition of a gorilla skull, which was hand ed among the audience.

In spite of the weather and the attractions of court, the ball 0f the Aoademy was well filled, and the attention given to the lecturer after the late comers had sub sided was i-ignificant of the gratification leit cy all present. The lecture waa de. livered in a style of naivete that made it very attractive, and to whioh no ordinary tjiun can au justice. Indicted.

In ITIeiuorlam. GENERAL WILLIAM NASH The silent steps of death have again been seen in our county the past week, in removing one of our oldest and most highly retpeoted citizens from the busy scenes of life to the silent grate. There is al-wavs experienced a sadness in recording the decease of our friends, as in obedience to the summons they lay aside their mortality, and are ushered into a new and to them untried state of existence. But the reward of a well spent life does much to assuage grief and reconcile, as we part with those who have been our counsellors and guides for years, giving bright exam ples of the highest integrity in business walks of life, comhimd with enlarged and ennobling views of true progress in all matters connected with the church and state. But added to all these, another fact, if realiz-d, goes further to hush all mourning that in some minds might arise npou the removal cf our friends by death.

I now allude to a well spent Christian life, in which the nharscter is formed upon the pare and heavenly principles of the gospel of Christ. In the detth of General William Nash of New Haven, which took place on the 15.h at his residence, aged 83 years, th above con siderations come home to my mind with great force, as I reflect upon the loss our county has thus sustained. General Nash was born in Norfolk, Connecticut, and came to this State when he was 12 years of age. Quite early in life he became associated with an only and an older brother, Col. David P.

Nasb, in commercial life. In his business rela tions he was successful, and soon became known as a mm of great sagacity and un-Questioned intearitv. In the midst of 1 hia business engagements he never forgot his obligations and responsibilities as citizen, giving aid by counsel and money, to forward every enterprise that in bis judgment tended to advance the commu nity or State in the path of virtue or happiness. In early life he always aimed to build up the material interests of soci ety, reasoning, and that, too, correctly, that indolence and vice were twin Haters, and in their prevalence the highest inter est of the individual was lost, and the general interest and welfare of a com munity laid waste Having never enjoyed superior advantages to acquire an exten sive eduoation, be nevertheless embraced those within his reach, which in the days ef his boyhood were limited and scanty. His mind was naturally acute and in quisitive.

He possessed a nice and wise disoriminatiou of human character, and as by intuition almost, he would disxern that which was commendable from that which was to be condemned applauding the one and abhorring the other. Ming ling with the early settlers of our coun ty and State, he naturally imbibed the great principles of human liberty and justioe that was their guide in the for mation of our State government, and the adoption of these principles in the enact merit of statute laws, for building up all the great moral and political enterprises of the day. In all matters vitil to the happiness of his adopted town or county, he took a deep and absorbing interest. Nor did be confine himself to this com paratively small field. His discerning mind led him to look abroad upon the State and to acquaint himself with the wants of its citizens.

And even here ho failed to stop in his in vestiganons. lie considered nimseir a oitizen of the great and growing Repub lic, and invested with a share of it re sponsibilities and privileges, be was an at tentive and careful observer of passing events, always throwing his influence up on the side of iustice and humanity. He was frequently honored by bis townsmen with an election to many of it important offices, the duties of which he faithfully discharged. For several years be was Representative to the State Legislature. and there took a high stand as a man of sound judgement, great sagacity, and unswerving integrity.

He was wioe elected ceuntv senator, and in that body was honored as one of its soundest men. Unused to publia debate he rarely spoke in public, but when he did it was to the paint, stating in a clear and concise style the reason tbat influenced his course of action. He was selected as a delegate to the National Whig Convention in 1S52 that nominated Gn. Scott for the Presi dency, and was there treated with tho hiwhest respect by that body. He was very active in securing in 1832 a charter from the Stnto Legislature for a bank at Middlehury, and upon its oruraniz tion whs elected D'rector and President, wbioh position he held for 14 years the tem of its charter.

Upon the re-chartering of the FUnk of Midd'ebury, he was aurain elected President, but reigtied, choosing to act as one its rectors only, which place he held until the failure of hi" health when he resigned, and the vacancy vh- filled in the election of his son Wm Nash, E-q. Gen. Nash was for more thn twenty years a member of the cor poration of Middlebnry College, to the funda of whijh he was liberal in his contributions. For many years he was Vice President of tha Vermont Stat Bible Society, and contributed liberally to their great and benefioient. institution.

He arave largely to the funda of the board of Home and Foreign Mission. He was an aotive and influential member of the County and State Temperance Societies, and aided materially in the formation of that publio sentiment which secured tbrosgh the Legislature the prohibitory law, that has done so much to suppress this fearful vice in our midst. I well remember the deep interest be took in the discussion upon the temperance question, and bis strong expressed desire to see the entire overthrow of the monster in the complete suppression of the traffic. Before his increased years and infirmaties of body caused bis complete isolation from business and society, he was bowed down and his presence in public assemblies of bis fellow citizens, caused a feeling of deep reverence to pervade all hearts as well as deep sorrow and regret in view of his speedy retirement from the active pursuits of business life, and the loss of his counsel in the benevolent associations in wbioh be was so deeply interested. Had he lived until May 1872, he would have lived on the farm where he died 55 years, cat the crowning glory of bis character was his profession of religion, nd his connection with the Congrega tional church in New Haven for more than 40 years.

In this relation be was ctive and efficient. Free from ostenta tion and show, be labored to build up the cause of his Divine Redeemer and show forth to the world, the power of true Christianity in a well regulated life and conversation. It is well that God has so wisely ordered a diversity of gifts and THE RUTLAND WEEKLY HERALD, talents in the church of Christ. Some are gifted with the power of eloquence and mighty persuasion, others preemi nently qualified as teachers, others as logioal expounders of the deep hidden mysteries of religious truth, while to others is reserved the power of secret counsel and unsullied life. To the latter class belonged Gen.

Nasb. Cautious in the choice of language, he was ready to pour into the ears of the young the words of comfort and support, nrging them for ward in the formation of good resolutions and the every day practical life. His quiet unobtrusive manner and gentle de meanor always won to bim the hearts of the young, and caused a genial influence to surround him in the presence of bis peers in age and experience. He was al ways ready to respond to the wants of the needy and des'itute. Often have the re cipients of his bounty remained ignorant of the source from whence the needed help came that cause! an slleviition of their sorrows.

Food for the hungry, and nlothes for the naked have followed the unostentatious gifts of our departed friend. But he has gone. For several years he has not mingled in society, being confined to his house where his wants have been kindly end tenderly supplied by his children and his aged but affectionate wife. He leaves to follow him a widow and seven sons. Of these sons, three live in New Haven, and four in the Western States, while all are actively engaged in the business walks of life.

These sons will live to ever remember the virtues of their honored father, who after a long and useful life sleeps in hope of a glorious resurrection at the last day. His faithful connsel they cannot but ever heed. Watched over by him from their infancy, and jealously guarded by his faithfulness, warned of tho dangers that uniformly beset the pathway 0f life, they will as years increase lesm to love with intense affection the memory of their honored sire, and I trust imitate the virtues that adorned his character and life for so many years. I do not say he bad no faults, for no man ever lived without them. Tha frailties of human nature surround and are within us all.

Gen. Nash in common with all, had hi-? failings, but he had very many marked and positive traits of character that rendered him apparent aid in the pursuits of life, and stamped upon his actions the indelible marks of truthfulness and npriahtness. His vir tues I would hold np to the publio gaze. Criticism may stand at his open grave and exclaim here, after a well-spent life, lie-the mortal remains of one who in the days of hia strength and activity, sought to bless the nee3y and the distressed, build up the interests of his town, county and State. Nay, farther, who sought to extend the blessed influence of the gospel of the Savior of men far and wide, ine aged widow will miss the smile of her companion that has cheered ier for so many years.

But soon she will follow him and meet again in the roilm of un clouded light and glory. The Church of Christ surrenders at the summons of its Divine Head, one of its most faithful members. His presence they will sadly miss. His counsels they will no more hear, while with great tenderness of soul they will remember bis leve for the blessed cause he with so much earnestness labored to sustain. His sens will gnz9 for the last time upon that countenance onee so benignant and kind, and those lips that was wont to speak to them the words of fatherly love and affection, but now cold and motionless forever.

As the marble shaft shall by these sons be placed over his remains to mark his final earthly rest, let it be simple and truthful, like the character of him who sleeps beneath its base, and whoi-o life was the reflection of those principles that lie at the foundation of true manliness and greatness. In view of this event, I am led to ask the qnetion Our fathers, where are they They who gave their youth and manhood to lay broad and deep the foun dations of civil and religious liberty, guarding in every possible way against the le-ist encroachment upon the cit idel of truth and justice, zealous in tha main tenacoe of the rights of Church and State handed to us to defend and maintain men who have adorned the pulpit and the bar, dignifying both by their presence and example men who have shed lustre upon the walks of classic lifa ncen who gloried in making labor honorable and enviable men who, as merchants, me chanics, bankers and statesmen, have done all in their power to uphold anl sustain the great and growing interests of a free and intelligent nation, these, our fath ers, are passed and are rapidly passing away. A new generation of men are tak ing their places, and through them we are to go on increasing in all the activities that go to make a nation glorious and hap py, or sink in the scale of moral and litical greatness forever. I trust the com ing generation as they learn of and study carefully the characters of the fathers who, like our departed friend, have left as an imperishable legacy their unselfi-h devotion to truth and light, will see that upon them rests a weighty responsibility to protect and maintain unsullied the great and ennobling principles that lie at the foundation of all national greatness, and that are rendered encred through the teachings and sanctions of God's holy word.

The people of Glens Falls are jubilant at the prospect of soon having what we may, can, and must have in Tioocderoga, viz WATER WORKS.

They ('he Glens Fallerp) have formed a contract with "The Amerioan Water end Gas Pipe Company of Jersey City," by which the latter agrees to furnish pipes of the required diameter, do all the trenching, cover up and complete on the following terms Twelve inch pipe at $1 83 per lineal foot. Ten 1 55 Six 96 Four 72 The pipe is to be of wrought iron pro tected by cement, strong enough to with stand a pressure of three hundred and fifty feet head of water and warranted to work perfectly for five years. In addition to the above rates, where' ever fire hydrants are required, the com pany will put them in for each complete, and for every "gate" an extra charge of For 12 inch gate 70 42 28 10 6 4 will be marie. This includes in all cases the requisite and proper gate boxes and covers. So much for Glens Falls.

Now let us look over matters at home. Within a mile of this villaga we can obtain pure Lako George water. Sup pose one-fourth of that distance be laid in p'pa one foot in diamer, one-fonrth in pioa ten inches in diameter, one-fourth in six, and one-fourth in four inch pipe, The sum total, aconrding to the abeve s-timate, will be $0,080, no allowance be ing made for fire hydrants or But this estimate is altogether too bih The distance does not exceed three-fourths of a mile, and doubtUs a pipe ten inches in diametur is as large as would hi required. A-suming this to bs true, the whole cost of trenching, laying pipe, covering and finishing, including hydrants, etc will not far exceed $5,000. Now, to say nothing of the convenience of having an abundant supply of pure water, who will deny that the value of property would be enhanced several times the above named amount Why can not the work be accomplished Why will not some influential man take upon himself the task to solicit subscriptions for the enterprise Or, why will rot four or five men, who can spare the means, form a ccmpar.y and rent the water? Or a compauy may bd torined and the amount divided into shares of one hundred dollars euch.

J. IgUAM Buss. On Saturday evening, December 10'h, at about eight parishioners and friends of the Rev. J. Lham Bliss, who has been rector of the Episcopal church of Fairhaven and Hydeville, and who has accepted the Rectorship of the church in Benningtin, assembled at the parlors of the Knights House, which has for some time been the home of Mr.

Bliss, to meet him again before hia departure. Mr. Bliss and wifo were absent at the time, but soon returned, a messenger having been dit-patehed for them. Upon their arrival, Geo. M.

Fuller, ia behalf of their friends, presented them with a splendid ice pitcher and goblets, and, in a very handsome speech, full of tender emotion, expressed their thanks for the good he had accomplished, and their sorrow tbat the connection, which had been so pleasant and profitable, must so soon be severed. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss were most completely surprised, but he acknowledged the Compliment, in a most happy speech, thanking his own parish and those who had gathered from othir de Bnminations, (ill of which were represented.) After short time pa.sed in pleasmt convn'i-tion, Mr. Kniahts surprised the company by inviting them into the dicing roam, ti partake of such a srpper as only Knights gets up, his being loaded with everything that could teript the appetite.

The Chicago Bribery. The popular indignation at the direct charges of bribery brought against several members of the Chicago common council has found prompt expression ia the summoning of a special grand jury to iuvestigate the mat ter, and there is every indication that, if this investigation establishes the truth of the charges, the offenders will receive merited punishment. Mexico. The news from Mexico en courages the hope that that unfortunate country may yet be rescued from chaos, According to late dispatches frora the Mexican capital, tae government of President Juarr? has obtained the mas tery, and the revolution is steadily losing ground by the return to allegiance of many military commanders who had favored the cause of Diaz.
