ID But, may be said this is a lottery and
ag4insEthe,law,& The Collector of the In,
terAab Revehbe has, on the highest legal
7 authority, indorsed and approved of the
Peoples Hall enterprise as. being exempt
! from the operation of laws concerning lot
teries. So, the point to its legality Is
/ clearly settled. .-,,, -, ,r,e,rrr, ,,c
+ "But" may be said, "though no LOTTERY,
| though lawful, it partakes of the character
| Of gift enterprise, and Objectionable on
that account"
b Isthis objection we'll founded? -Letlus
see; Gift and contribution enterprises GER
tainly do not differ from other speculationss
L You invest certain sum, risking its total
or partial loss OH the happening of certain
1 contingencies, while on the happening of
certain other contingencies you expect q
large profit on the Investment. If you
condemn contribution enterprises, you
mast equally condemn all other speculaL
tions; you must consistently condemn
nearly all business operations, because. to
greater 0r,less extent, they are all specula-
tive in their character. If the Peoples Hall
Association had called upon you simply to
, subscribe to the proposed fund, you GER
tainly would not object. Now, it proposes
to give to you, and to subscribers general
ly, part of your and their money back in
the shape of musical entertainment and
valuable contributions. The latter mode of
raising the fund in question is certainly
.fdireT anil more liberal TO the SubScrjbers than
+, The former. Is it less respectable? Ger
/. tainly not. Whdteper is honest, is respectable.
Those not personally acquainted with the
managers of the enterprise, we beg leave
to refer to the certificates in another col
hmn of our paper-signed by the Governor
Of Ohio; all the other State Executive Off
GERS, all the chlef, city authorities of Co.
lumbus; Hon. N. Ii. Swayne, Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United States Hon.

Master of the Masons of Ohio, Joseph Dow
dali and John II. Wheeler, Past Grand
ofiiSets Of LSo.O. F.; the Charmed Of the
Democratic and Republican State Central
Committees, and by a host of our most
prominent citizens. We doubt lohelher euer
any enterprise has been INTRODUCED to the pub
lic, so a0eU and heartily recommended and re-
eon'mendable, as to its object, programme, and
The bAdraetsr of-t -the mdsqgers, as 1ss C9atrtbpE7
ton Concert Enterprise. We, and all citizens
of Columbus, fully concur with the signers
of the certifcste in saying, that. the,WeH es-
tdbIiShed standing Of the members Of the PeO-
PIES Hall association for integrity and re-
spoRsibtHtH offers sure guarantee that The
enterprise viU U-6ee fairly and loaorGbly con-
Quoted. - - F's 80 ~ 80
It's object is a noble one. Legitimate and
Hpproprsqts g'eGrs are employed for tts at
tainn'ent of that object. EUery resident of
Columbus, euery citizen Of Ohio, to achateuer
political party, aohGteuer society he may belong,
is directly and equally Interested in the speedy
erection of Preople's Hall in Columbus,
ioh1chvtu be a brtgE ornament 10 the camtql1
and a substantial and ldstih5 '6eaeN TO he 4
sohOle commonwealth.
Wetherefore trust that the efforts of the
Association may meet with a warm and
generous support on the part OF the people. |

4Accident at the~Saw Factory. va
We learn that terrible accident occurred |
on Saturday lsstat Mr., Ohlen's Saw factory |
In this city, caused by the bursting Of one
of the large grlndstones. One of the work
men was dreadfully cut and mangled in |
the head and body by the etragments Of the |
exploded stone. Notwithstanding his ter
fible wounds, we understand he still sur
wives. jHeis Canadian, who some yearsago,
met with an accident from similar cause,
by which he was seyerely:ipjured about the
head and shoulders, and his features dis
torted. g - l
