IN the flush times oi Eieksbsrg,

something more than il now does,
Harvey Jenkins Was admittedly one
OF the hardest BY some strange ac-
lcident Harvey found himself at
church one evening. The sermon
being over, the preacher requested all
who We're friendly to religion to fise
ana hold up their right hand. The
whole audience apparently were on
their feet. After they were seated the
minister continued r.f.
"Now, IL there IL "a single Que here
who desires TO see Satan andhis king
dom prosper, he will rise aud hold ur

THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

Three lectures have been given before
this body by Col. J. p. Sanford while,
owing TO the great favor with which
these have been received, fourth will
be delivered Saturday night b. the same
gentleman.
Most flattering thus far has been the
success of our Library Association.
From the time of the first efforts toward
organization, most cheering have been
the aid and encouragement which it has
received. Much of this success is due
to the energy that has characterized the
efforts Of the members much of it is
due to the wisdom which led to the
engagement, as a first trial, so enter
tanning, SO instructive and, therefore, so
successful a lecture. Had a third rate
man been sent for in his stead, small
audiences in lieu of crowded houses, a
minus quantity of funds instead of a
most gratifying balance would have been
the result. We heartily congratulate
the lecture committee.
The lecture of Tuesday evening was
perhaps more largely attended than
either of the two former. 1t was de-
scriptive of Alexandria, Cairo, the Ply
ramids in Egypt, and Paris in France,
together with the Paris Exposition.
Without attempting to describe in
our "feeble manner" what the lecturer
gave in the most glowing terms, it is
enough to say that the audience was
held spell-bOund from first to last.
Scarcely have we ever heard anything
more truly eloquent than was Col.
Sanford's peroration wherein he set
forth his preference for living in his
own native land rather than in any
other under the sun, together with his
reasons therefor. The house responded
10 his sentiments in hearty and long
continued applause.
Remember that the last opportunity
to hear this eloquent and able lecturer
will be extended next Saturday even
ing. Let there be more crowded
house than ever.
