PROFESSOR HUGO’S LECTURE.

The lecture on " Eyes ” by Professor Hugo in aid of the Library and Benevolent Society passed off successfully last night, though we should like to have seen a larger audience. The lecturer gave a splendid description of y the eye, both from its shape and color. The best eyes were large, black and deep set. The prominent eyes denoted less stability and action than the deep set. The almost transparent blue eyes were very nice to gaze upon, but as a general rule belonged only to persons of fickle and unreliable dispositions. From the experience he had had he considered the true brown eye much before any of the others. The hazel eyes were also good, but many other Physiognomists differed on that point. After the lecture and the telling of characters Mr. McAra rose and thanked Professor Hugo on behalf of the Benevolent Society, for the assistance he had rendered that institution, Professor Hugo said he had been asked by a number of people to deliver a lecture on spiritualism, and give his opinion on that subject. He would be willing to do so on Sunday evening if that would meet with the approval of the people, if not he would deliver another lecture on another evening during the week, but he would like to have their ow opinion whether it should be held on Sunday evening or not. They would have to excuse him if he was doing wrong in mentioning Sunday, but they must know that on the continent Sunday was not looked upon in the same light as it was by the people of England. In replying to this Mr. Featon, on behalf of the Library Committee, returned thanks to the lecturer, and said he considered he would be speaking the minds of the people generally in objecting to the lecture taking place on Sunday evening, and they would rather it be in the week. Professor Hugo said he would then deliver another lecture during the week, particulars of which would be duly notified.
