To all Union men in tho city and the

We appeal to register ut once. Do not
let this weeks close fiud your names
still uuentered on the books of the
Registrar OF your township. Remember
that your opportunity to register closes
on the 10th of the month. But do not
put OF your duty until the last day.
Something may occur to prevent you.
Embrace the opportunity at once.
And to all who have been registered
we appeal that they give themselves
some concern about their Union friends
and acquaintances. Are there not live
men in each township who will see
that the lists in their hands are COM
pared with the books with the Registrar
in order 10 ascertain who among our
friends are still delinquent.
We hope that our words do not fall
dead upon the ears OF those to whom
they are addressed. We hope that
each member of the Union party does
individually feel himself addressed.
Will not the active men of the various
wards and townships respond Mt once.
Every vote is valuable 10 us. Every

Mr.. John n. Genin, the great halter OF

Mr.. Barnum is a fine, portly gentle

sationalist he has few equals. He has
Travelled a great deal, and being close
observer, has picked up n rich fund OF
information and anecdote, which he re-
ceeds in keeping his listeners constant
ly convulsed with laughter. During
his stay many of our citizens awaited
themselves OF the opportunity TO call
upon him at Mr.. Genin's residence.
On Thursday evening of last week
people in the NJ L. Church, on Temper

The house was denseIy crowded-the

literally packed with people. The lee

manner that convulsed his auditors,
that made it altogether the best lecture

choir, who had favored the audience
with some stirring temperance songs.
He said in the East it was the custom
for the choir to sing while collections
were being taken up, and he requested
the choir TO sing another of their excel
lent songs while pledges were being
passed around for signatures.
Mr.. Barnum spoke about two hours,
and after he concluded pledges were
passed around among the audience and
about two hundred signatures pro-
cured-Mr. Barnum heading the list
and remarking that he signed It for
about the tt0e1ltyJ1Jfth time. The thanks
of the audience were then unanimous

dress. Mr.. Barnum rose and thanked
the audience for their kindness, and re-
marked that the only thanks he asked
was signatures to the pledge.
This lecture will be productive of
great good in our community. The
evils Of fntemperance were set forth in
such a vivid and startling light that
they have set people TO thinking, and
we predict many good results from it.
Mr.. Barnum and Mr.. Genin left on
Saturday morning for New York, via.
the Allentown route, and expected to
reach home on Sunday morning.
