The address, as announced last week, BY
the Rev. DR.. Gicrlow, of Prairie du Chen,
before the Young Mems Christian Associa.
ton, at the Baptist Church on Friday
evening, was certainly one of the fines;
efforts we have been favored with in this
city. The DR.. is clear, easy and graphic
speaker, and on that occasion showed, in
the most convincing speech, the beneficial
and happy results of the labors of an
association like the one sought to be estab-
lished when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted in any community
After the lecture, the Constitution prepared
by the committee, was read by Prof. Barnes
q id adopted without dissenting voice.
We regret the seeming want of interest
manifested by our citizens on this occasion
in the number in attendance and the effort
to permanently organize Young Mems
Christian Association in McGregor. For
the present We understand there are no
appointments for the future, but it will prob.
ably be converted into a Literary Associa-
ton instead, with the view of enlisting the
united efforts of all. a...f Z aaa 49,.

Z LOUIS HIRsnFELD, Of the firm of G. Sum.
mer'ield & Co, has become sole proprietor
of the concern by purchase, as the reader
will see by dissolution notice in another
column. Louis is whole souled boy and
knows how TO keep q tavern. He has a
carefully selected stock Of every thing in
the line of clothing from a paper collar or
bandana handkerchief, to the best quality
and most fashionable suits, which, in our
opinion, he sells as cheap as can be bought
in any market.
Mr.. Isaac Tobias, the other resident
member Of the firm, is now located with a
similar stock at Waverly, Iowa, and If the
people Of that thriving town don't find in
him a companionable, business man, who
it will pay them to paironize, then We are
not capable OF judging.

preparations are already being made for
vigorous campaign against the combined
tribes Of this section, this point being a
place of rendezvous, and by the 1st of
April, at farthcrest, they will be on the

the command to follow the enemy to their
