the persons that mistook his whips for their
own, that no has some better ones which
they can have by calling at his shop, and
also that hc would be happy to furnish them
with Crackers for those they borrowed
last Saturday. q
Temperance Lecture.
il. Pingrey, Esq, will lecture upon the
subject Of TEMPERANCE, next Friday eve
ming, the 10th inst, in the Lecture Room of
the N. E. Church, in this city. Mr.. Pin
grey proposes, we believe, to argue the ne
cessity Of PnoH1B1YoRY liquor law, and we
have no doubt he will handle the subject in
his usual mastery manner. Every one who
feels an interest in the cause, should not
fail to attend. Lecture will commence at
half past seven o'clock. .+'.f
Fire Enginc.
The amendment to the Red Wing city
charter will take effect on the LIST of April,
after which time the City Council will not
have the power to levy tax in any one
year exceeding five hundred dollars, without
first submitting the question Of the excess
Of said tax to the voters of said city. This
will put it out Of the power Of the next
Council to buy fire engine, and considering
the mnlish picayunishness of the present
Council nothing can be expected Of them,
several members Of the fire company called
on US last week and requested us to call at
lention to this subject. That Red Wing
should have machine, is apparent to all,
and if the question was submitted to the
people we believe they would vote for one.
III order to get this subject properly before
the people, it will be necessary for public
meeting of the voters OF Red Wing, to be
holden under notice to be given by order
&C the (next> Council, to be published in
the ne wspapcrs Of Red Wing and posted in
three public places therein ten days prior to
such meetine--w.eich notice shall specify
the amount Of tax proposed to be levied,
and the definite objects 10 ,:h'ch 1t Is to be
applied. If the iremen will n.tcve in this
matter in the manner provided by the CHAR
ter amendment, we have no doubt that they
will be successful in the attainment Of their
object. AS matters now are, Red Wing
offers standing invitation to the iaccdiary's
match
Exhibition.
The young ladies comprising the Sigour-
neyan Society Of the Hamline University,
in this city, gave an exhibition at the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, on Thursday eve
ming last, that being the closing day of the
Water term.
The first part Of the exercises consisted
Of declamations and essays. Among the
dcclamations, we particularly liked the
Little Women" the "Burial of a School,
mate" and MADAME Roland" They were
rendered with much spirit OF the essays,
The Fate of the Gifted" We Lope the
fair authoress may escape that fate which
she so richly merits, if such fate is an inevi-
table attendant on the gifted. Education
des Femmes," was very fine thing SO
much so that it was entirely above tho COM
prehension Of the greater part Of the audi
ence. The "Hesperia" was edited, and very
richly and piquantly edited too, by Miss
Sarah pettibone. This concl uded the first
part. .-.. .-
The second part consisted chiefly of a
|coloquy between The different States of the
Union, represented by the young ladies'
each showing what especial and superior in.
ducements she held out Gas a State-oi
course not as girl,) to mankind generally
The States thus represented were, Illinois
New Hampshire, New York, Pennsy lvania
Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, Yer
mont, and Indiana. It is needless to say
that they all went in for Union-to q
man." A fine essay by Miss Mary Sorin
concluded the entertainment. The exercises
were enlivened by music on the piano forte
which was played by Misses Bevans and
Smith, and vocal music by the choir, ant
were, on the whole, very creditable to tn.
managers and the Society.
