DR.. SHEPARD, of Cleveland, repeat
ed his lectures on Egypt and the Holy
Land, in this place last week and week
before last. There lectures are in
structiye and highly entertaining,
much more so, we think up here, than
lectures on abstract subjects, by pro-
fessional lecturers, gotten up to or
der, to please the Imagination, and
paid for at prices which smell of
sayory humbug. The Doctor is a
finished lecturer, and is master of his
themes, having travelled extensively
in Egypt, and ancient Judea. His
powers of description are such that he
seems to carry his audience with him
over the route he travelled. No per-
son who has heard these lectures, but
is mole anxious to hear them repeated.
WORK on the Cemetery Grounds
has been commenced, and will con-
tinue till the funds are exhausted
Much labor will be required to put
the grounds in such condition as they
should be. We understand that
portion of the funds raised by tax,
will be applied in improving the Rap
