was success. The people are inter-

was in good taste, and quiet--except
a little disturbance by three or four
boys, who were little top heavy, hut
who were ssOOn removed from the
Hall. The receipts, we understand,
we're near one huadred dollars. The
lectures were on Thursday and Fri
day nights, by the Rev. :. ID. Shafer
and NJ. M.Chance--the buckeye Broad
axe" The lecture of Shafer was
full of sound sense and reason, and
that of Chance was interspersed with
wit and humOr. With one exception
the lecture pleased all who heard it.
