Lyceum have rather an interesting question for
discussion tonight. 1t Is as follows:
Rssolped That, owing to the increased ton
denoy to batohelorhood on the part Of the young
men Of our country, It Is the duty Of Congress
to Interfere by legislation to discourage such
tendency, either through the mode adopted by
Imperial Rome Of bringing into roproach those
who shall remain unmarried ater certain age,
or by resorting to more arbitrary measures.
An animated debate Is anticipated. This
Lyeeum meets at the Council Chamber, City
