We would suggest that in addition to mounted
guards on the avenue that others be stationed

Union Nteting.-Last Wednesday evening
a Union Meeting was held in Overman's
Hall. The speakers announced were Rev.
DR.. SMITH, of Waterloo, and Rev. c. WATER
BURY of this place. For ssme reason Dr..
SMITH was not present. The meeting called
W. II. SESSIONS, Esq, to the chair, and
appointed H. A. PERKINS, Scc'y. Mr.. WA
rEKBURy took the stand and spoke about
an hour, closing with strong appeal to
the young men to come forward and en-
list in the grand army Of the Union. His
remarks were appropriate and well-timed
and were greeted with applause. Rev. Mr..
Bowman being called for, made short but
excellent speech, as was evinced by the
oft repeated burst Of applause which inter-
rupted his remarks. Hon. z. SrREErER, a.
so spoke briefly, and by the introduction
Of one or two appropriate anecdotes brought
down the house, as he always does The
meeting adjourned to this friday evening,
at eight o'clock. During the evening some
halfdozen men signed the enlistment roll
L. WALKuP, ESQ.,, offered bounty Of five
dollars to each man that would enlist that
night. Words are cheap, but the man who
backs up his professed principles by either
his money or his person, gives convincing
proof that his heart is in the work. Such
men should be gratefully remembered, and
their example initiated.

among the members pro rata. There are
several gentlemen here who hold commissions
to recruit.
The men are needed in the field, have been
called for, and must be raised, voluntarily
if can be, forcibly If must be. Those who
cannot 60 must put their hands in their
pockets and give as literally as they can to
those who do 60. Men have got to make
sacrifices in these times, and the one who
gives up everyt thing for soldiers life, and
possibly soldiers death, il doing far more
for his country in her hour Of peril, will have
a far greater claim upon the affections and
gratitude Of the generations yet to come, than
he who gives Of his money alone. Then
friends let US rally to the standard Of the
stars and the bars. 'Tis Freedom in her hour
Of peril that calls US to her rescue, and re-
creant to the holy trust bequeathed to us by
a heroic ancestry, and false to tho God who
has smiled upon US and prospersd US SO in
the past will We be, II we heed not tho sum.

Exhibition Last Friday Erening. The
Exhibition at Horticultural Hall last Friday
evening was not as successful as we had de-
sired it should be. The show was quite
meagrc, with but little competition.
Mr.. E. SrEARNs, a gentleman who takes
great interest in Horticulture, and who has
won quite reputation in the business,
was present, with beautiful display of
flowers. The gentleman will please accept
our thanks for premium bouquet, which
was very acceptable.
Miss FASSE ANDERSON had on exhibition
some fine Fuschsias, which were much ad-
mired.
Mrs. A. s. MFRS also had on exhibition
cultivated flowers, which in the estimation
of some were the most beautiful displayed
on that evening.
The exhibition in the classes of fruits
and vegetables was even more limited than
that in flowers. The exhibition made, how
ever, was good and we'll worthy of remark.
Mr.. |. ScHEScx displayed some of the
finest carrots and bects we ever saw. Some
of the beets were grown from seed procured
from the Patent Office.
Mr.. C. BRADLEY exhibited some Of the
wonderful productions of his " Garden Of
Eden" Ono stalk Of corn which he had
measured eleven feet. Surely. it was man.
moth production. He also had sample Of
beet grown by him, which was very large,
and of excellent variety.
Miss ELLEN S. Smith exhibited plate Of
currants which looked very tempting.
The people are so occupied with war
and kindred subjects, that it seems diff
cult to awaken any great degree Of interest
in matters Of this kind, therefore the Society
will probably not attempt to give any more
Exhibitions before the latter part of Sep
TENDER.

Good Coffee!
This can be done by using one Of HEERMAN'S
Celebrated Coffee ROasters /!

THIS is little invention that every woman
IL requires, as an article of economy and
convenience. The coffee roasted in this ma
chine is not only better and far healthier, but
much stronger, as the aroma is retained and
not destroyed in the roasting. II therefore re-
quires less coffee.
One pound Of coffee can be roasted in from
ten to twelve minutes, and two pounds in
twenty minutes. II is 50 constructed, that the
coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos
ed to the same degree Of heat consequently,
oil the grains are roasted alike, and have ex-
acty the same flavor-no foreign favor being
acquired from over-roasting, or not roasting
enough A glass window is prepared at the
end Of the cylinder, so that the coffee may be
inspected just az much as IL IL was in an open
vessel, obviating the danger or roasting too
much, and the aroma passing of, which would
necessarily occur did the machine have to be
opened whenever you wished TO inspect the
coffee. 1t will, beyond all doubt, make bet
ter coffee and more Of 1t.
