AgSassiZ Coming!

Now, then-at last-our people have an
intellectual feast offered them worthy Of
their patronage. Agassiz, the greatest
naturalist OF the age, is coming! He will
deliver a lecture at Union Hall, in this
city, on Wednesday evening next, Feb-u-
airy 10Th, to commence precisely at s
o'clock. Admission % cents.
Inc lecture enterprise in Ottawa, SO far
this winter, has been comparative failure,
for the simple reason, that instead of a
worthy, intellectual feast having been
offered our people, the best in each case
they had to hope for was a villainous hash
of "Gcd and humanity in plain English
AN abolition harangue, offensive and in
sultinS to more than half Of our population.
We can have such treats" in churche S
and at our street corners any day Agas-
sIz Is OF different stamp He is child
OF nature and deyotec OF science His ex-
ploratlOns are among the hidden myster-
les of nature-his daily converse with
their great Author. Worlds of strange
objects and thought are familiar to him of
which tie common miLd has no concep>
ton. \ celebrated author has said the
greatest joy as well triumph of genius is the
conception of new idea. To common
audience, nearly every utterance of man
like Agassz is a new idea,
Yet, as speaker his manner and lan>
guase are said to be simplicity itself-a
child can understand him. We would 90
miles simply to SEE him. Who Is not
ready TO make less sacrifice both to see
and hear him

WEATHER-RIyERs Lee The heavy
rains. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
bad ;.ine effect of rapidly raising the riv-
ers at this place and bringing down the
ice. The ice in the Illinois ran for two or
three days, and the river is now apparently
clear its whole length. The ice of the
Fox, however, after running day or two,
formed gorge just above the Fox river
bridge at Ottawa, and the cold snap on
Tuesday and Wednesday having CONCEALED
it into solid concrete mass, it promises to
remain for some time. The wooden pier
under the middle Of the bridge across the
Fox Of course was removed, but the bridge
being single arch. still stands apparen tly
firm. But the ice of the Fox striking the
middle pier Of the Illinois river bridge
diagonally has seriously injured it, so that
should the flow of few days ago be re
newed, the bridge would be in serious
danger.

The Fiitlsth Birthday Of Agas.iz.
BY. II. ". LoKGFELLow.

By. II. W. LoHGFELLow.
On beautiful summer day,
Just fifty years ago.
A child in its cradle lay
On the banks Of the Pays de Vaux,
And nature, the good nurse took
The young child on her knee,
And said, here's a story book
Thy Father has written for thee.
And she led him away and away
To region yet untrod.
10 read what never had been read
In the manuscripts Of God.
And Whenever the way seemed long,
And his courage began to fail,
She sang a more wonderful song,
And told more wonderful tale.
And she keeps him yet child,
And she will not let him go,
Though sometimes his heart beats wild,
For the banks of the Pays de Vaux.
And his mothers voice says bark"
For my boy pine and mourn,
1t Is getting late and dark.
And my boy does not return.

Of the papers, TO the effect that Captain
William George Howard of the Pritisl

victim TO his own vices. The Londoi
Review gives the following sad picture
OF his closing hours:
If the revenues which he had thu
strong probability OF inheriting were no
immense they were sufficient to enabl
him TO gaise very large sums of money
When, some years ago, he came befor,

one hundred thousand pounds Ano
this enormous sum had been raised up.

had known the woman in whose house
