MONROE
 
--Frank W. HAINES will lecture at Bushnell's Basin on Friday evening of this week in the interests of the Wilbor club. Subject:  "Shall Monopoly Live!"
 
--The Wilbor club, of Bushnell's Basin, is about to buy with the avails of the recent lecture course in that village, a complete encyclopedia, a globe, and a number of unabridged dictionaries, for the use of the Bushnell's Basin school.
 
--Rev. Mr. BURTON, Baptist minister, in Fairport, will lecture at Shaw's hall in that village, on Thursday evening, before the club of "The Army of the Potomac." Subject  "Reminiscences of Army and Prison Life." Rev. Mr. BURTON was army chaplain in the war of the rebellion.
 
--The next excitement on the tapis in Pittsford is a grand school exhibition, to come off on Friday evening next in Armstrong hall. The pupils of the several departments of the Union school take part in the performance. Rehearsals have been held at the school house almost every night for weeks past, and the children are full of tragic thoughts and utterances.
 
--The community of Fairport has been in the enjoyment for two years past of a public circulating library, of over twelve hundred volumes and a general reading room attached. This boon was conferred upon that village by the generosity of Miss Julia DICKENSON, a lady of culture, philanthrophy and means. The library consists of works upon science, history, biography, fiction, poetry, travel and art, besides complete encyclopedias and multifarious dictionaries and other works of references. Miss DICKENSON has selected the books herself, and is constantly examining new literary productions and adding to the library such as she deems worthy of a permanent place.
 
--At the railroad station of Honeoye Falls on Saturday evening a brief comedy of errors was enacted in connection with two ministers, one from Newark who was to supply by exchange the pulpit of the Universalist church at North Bloomfield on Sunday, and the other from Buffalo who was to hold service at St. John's Episcopal church, Honeoye Falls. To be sure one is tall, thin and venerable in appearance, and the other shorter and much more portly, but they both answer to the name of Moore. Hence it was that the Episcopal committeeman pounced upon the Universalist Dromio and was escorting him to his place of entertainment at Mr. D.'s, through his victim insisted that he had been directed to B.'s. Finally a word of inquiry and explanation led to a return to the depot, where the captive was surrendered to a waiting friend while the other Dromio was found ready to follow the guide who had himself been misled by a name.
