Temperance.

There is enthusiastically revived feeling
growing up in our city on the subject Of
temperance. y spirited meeting took place
at the Methodist Church last Friday eve
ming and is to be followed by others. The
renewed agitation OF the subject has drawn
attention to our city liquor ordinance, which
on examination is found TO contain sore
stringent provisions that have not hitherto
been rigidly enforced. We are assured,
however, by the marshal and city attorney.

German Democratic Meeting.

The meeting of the German Democrats Of
Ottawa, called at the Court House on Satur-
day evening last, to hear an address from
Mr.. VILLARDT, Of Philadelphia, was well at
tended, and tn proceedings conducted with
spirit. Mr. VuIardt occupied the stand
about an hour, in a speech clearly setting
forth the issues Of the present contest in
this State, and strongly presenting the claims
of judge Douglas to the support of the peo-
PIE. !: the conclusion Of Mr.. VS. address.
Mr.. !. Koch proposed few resolutions
prefacng them with some excellent remarks.
The resolutions endorsed the doctrine OF
popular Sovereignty as expounded by Junge
Douglas, as the only true democratic doc
trine; approved his course in reference 70
the Lecompton constitution; and pledged
the Germans there present TO use their
utmost exertionS to secure tie return OF
Judge Douglas TO the Senate. The rcsolu-
tons were unanimously adopted The meet
ing then gave three cheers for Douglas, and
adjourned to meet again this evening at the

Democratic Meeting.

The Dem ocratic meeting, called 1t the Of
flee Of \. B. Smith, Esq, on Thursday
evening of this week, to make arrangements
in reference 10 the reception of Judge
Douglas at his proposed visit to Ottawa on
the 2lst August, vas held pursuant to the
call. transacted some preliminary business,
and then adjournnd to meet again at the
same place on Thursday evening next. 1t
is regarded as very desirable that some Of
the leading democrats out Of the city should,
if they can do SO conveniently, also attend
this meeting on next Thursday evening
The proposed reception Of Ju lge Douglas
must be made something more than mere
city affair. The people of the whole county
should turn out to hear him, and in refer
ence to the best mode OF bringing them OUT,
we meet must and counsel together.

LOCAL. MATTERS.
Public Schools.

The past week has been one of unusual
interest in our public schools. Being the
last week Ct the term, the usual examinations
have taken place in the various schools, oc.
cupying most of the week. AS the Colum.
bus st. High School exercises, six month
ago, drew out too large an audience for the
size OF the school rooms, it was arranged on
this occasion to have the exercises take place
in the Congregational Church on Thursday
evening. We walked around there about s
o'clock and found q mob Of some 400 ladies'
and about half as many more males on the
side walk ard in the street in front OF the
Church, anxou>ly watching the doors.
which appear .cssAaave been kept closed until
they could get "good ready" inside
Finally the doors were thrown open, and
the, such rush took place as one seldom
sees towards a church. Two thirds of the
crowd may have squeezed themselves inside,
and the unlucky balance gradually withdrew
The exercises commenced about 9 o'clock,
and were kept up until after eleven. The
ercises throughout not only highly credible,
but, under the circumstances, a little more.
Both teacher and scholars were evidently
taken somewhat aback by the rush. Then
The delay which it caused, and The intense
heat Of the room, had prepared us to witness
failure, but we were never more wide Of
the mark. One or two young gentleman be
