WINTER LECTURES.

We cannot too warmly commend the
effort now being made for securing the
services ofscentific and literary gentle
men, by the YOUNG MEN's ASSOCIATION,
with the view Of having regular course
OF lectures during the coming Winter
OF late years, it has become \ fixed pol
icy in our eastern cities, to encourage
this laadabe means Of uniting pleasure
with the acquisition of knowledge. Even
Gin the march of intellect" it is very de-
sirable that the means adopted to secure
the object be rendered both fashionable
and popular. Public lectures have
proved to be most acceptable to the
masses, wherever they have been inau-
gurated. The beneficial results arc man
ifold, as the good effects reach the whole
community, not being confined merely
to those who have tie time, inclination
and means for cleaning information from
books. This Pierian spring is accessi-
bic to the multitude, and it is the en-
liphtcnment Of the multitude upon which
the hope. for the future Of the Republic
arc based.
Every philanthropist in the commit
nifty should give Jealous aid ito the
praiseworthy undertaking Of the Young
Mems Association. The trifling invest
mcnt which each individual will be re-
CURED to make. bears no proportion to
the vast benefits to be realized. We
respectfully suggest, that some energet-
ic member or members Of the Associa-
ton be detailed, to make personal call
upon our citizens generally, and we can
not doubt that a fund can be raised,
that will warrant extensive arrange
mcnts for 4 course OF lectures, which
will be second to none that may be Civ
en-, during the approaching winter,n any
city in the Northwest. Our mite is
ready on call.

BURNED TO DEATH.-Wc are pained
TO learn that Mrs Foster, wife Of Chas.
Foster, living near Ossion, Iowa. was
burned to death Oh the 25th inst. The
circumstances are as follows The prai-
ric was set on fire by some unknown in
dividual, and Mr.. Foster seeing bis prop
erty was in danger, ret the grass on fire
around his premises, at the same time
calling Mrs. to hi. assistance. The fire
came up, and ia the conflict the clothes
Of Mrs F. caught fire, and before it
could be extinguished burned her so
horribly that she died in thirty minutes.
None but those who have seen our prai !,
ries in blaze can form an idea Of the
danger those are in who have to fight

INVENTION IN TELEGRAPnING.-A
newly designed machine for telegraphing,
represented by its inventor to be super
Tor to any now in use, is attracting cons
siderable notice. ms cad of having mes
sages sent from the manuscript, either
by the House printing plan or by the
Morse characters, he proposes to have
the messages first set up in . peculiar
faced character OF type, to be learned by
the operator. The type thus set up u
placed in a receiver, and by means Of a
wheel, and cylinder, stie or pen, the
characters are transferred TO paper in
regular sheets and lines. The inventor,
Mr.. Bradley, Of California, claims that
by mcans Of this instrument speed Of
from eight 10 twelve thousand words an
hour can be attained.

Way IT WAS DoNE.-The immediate
object of Mr.. Stewards speech at Roch-
ester, N. Y, last year, in which he an
nounced the ''irrepressible conflict" doc.
trine, was to convince the Garrison abo-
litionists, who we're supporting Gerrit
Smith tor Governor, and whose support
of him put the Seward candidate in dan
ger of defeat, that the black republican
party was just as good an abolition
party as the Garrison party itself. And
he succeeded in that object. Before
the speech, it was estimated that Smith
would receive thirty or forty thousand
votes, He received but three or four
thousand. After the speech the Carl
son abolitionists turned in for Morgan
and elected him, and from that time
these abolitionists have been absorbed
by the black republican party.
WILL SOMEBODY TELL Us 9-Ossa>
wattamie Brown, on being asked if he
he had anything to say in mitigation Of
the sentence about to be pronounced
upon him, solcmnly declared that he had
no intention of getting up an insurrcc
ton among the ncgroes-tbat he did
not contemplate the murder of any body
that he did not intend to commit
treason-and that his only object was to
get up stampedes of the slaves in Virgin
ia and Maryland, as he had done in
Kansas and Missouri. Now, as the
Black Republicans are determined to
make of him and his confederates genu-
inc martyrs of liberty" we shall be
amazingly obliged to them if they will
condescend to inform US what those
pixies, and Sharp's rifles, and Howder,
and balls were for whica those "inartyrs
Of liberty" had in their POSSESSION
Such weapons and munitions of war are
not often found in the hands of people
who do not intend to use them. Not
that we would insnuatc that Bro wn lies
about the mattcr-not at all. Those
pixies were manufactured in Conn ecticut
and cost money. They are particularly
adapted, and evidently designed for the
use of ignorant, undiscipllned men,
How did it happen that men who only
intended to engage in the innocent d.
version Of negro stealing should, at so
great cost Of money and labor, have
at the headquarters Of the New Govern
ment enough Of those deadly weapons to
arm and equip quite an armya Will

SPECIAL NOTICES.

POwerless for Evil-P0tent for Good
When pain or inflammation is present. and Bran

humors which are the occasion Of the pain and in
Illumination, and remove it from the body. This
quality of alone sezing hold, and causing the ex-
pulsion Of dcpravcd humors is possessed By no
other medicine. For Brandrcth's Pills operate
solely upon those impurities which surround and
affect tho tissues and organs affected by disease
By NATURAL AFFINITY, THEY SEIZE THEsR nUA0Rs
BECAUSE THEIR LIFE is BELOW THAT OF THE SUR
ROUNDING PARTS, and expel them from tho body.
Young people cannot, but middle aged and old
people can, in a measure, Appreciate that med-
cine which, being used in sickness, acts only upon
the cause of disease, and which has no power ex-
ccp. upon those humor whose presence produces
every pain, and whose removal removes every dis
ease. Whatever organ is affected, there these
wonderful pills penetrate, and remove impurities
from; thus preventing settling Of the humors,
because they arc removed from tho body. In
rheumatism, fcvers, plcurisiss, Pains in the side,
dyspepsia, head aches, cositiveness, asthma, colds
