The balance OF the notices were
common place, and not worth the

the reader by reproducing Them A
gentleman, who stood by the reporter
for this paper, counted the lamps.
He made the number in the process
sion eight hundred and eighteen. A
lady, who stood near, counted them,
also, and she made the number eight
hundred and seventy. Still another
gentleman, who counted the lamps,
made the number eight hundred aud
thirty-four-and there were not more
than nine hundred, all told, giving
good count for stragglers and those
who evidently desired to escape the

Hendricks IN neat speech, which
was received with quite an outburst
of applause, but, when the speaker
made his appearance, an ominoos
silence prevailed through all the

crowd, mo sound was heard, 50 the
speaker had no difficulty in proceed

space to present a review Of his
speech, but suffice it to say that all
who heard General Carl Sehurz's
mastery effort at Turner Hall, are
fully posted as to his sophistries and
rfallacies. When he had proceeded
with his speech about fifteen
minutes, the platform on which
were seated the band and many

was the most interesting affair of the
