Ross has been with us lecturing, as usual, 10
crowded houses. Last Sunday and Monday he
surpassed all expectation, by his lucid and argu-
menta,ive address. We have often heard tenn
perance lectures before, but we have to acknowl-
edge that he actually "caps the climax" in any
thing we ever heard, From what we read
concerning Ross before he came among us, we
really entertained fears as 10 his success par.
tioularly the Boonville tragedy operated consid-
erably on our nervous system, and tour commit

ssUere and tighten less terrific. But at the sug-

Of many, and entire satisfaction Of all. Realty
before we saw this man we had almost imsgn-
cd him some monster; with teeth like tiger
and claws like a lion, and would bite, scratch
and fight everything that came in his way, But
how mistaken we were when we beheld u little

cry in Boonville and elsewhere against this fell
low Ross, originates from his manner of treat
ing his subject. Dear brother Ross! can't you
spare the godly mems feelings, and let them
