Papafy, a Hungarian officer in the service of the

night telegraph to the Prussian Government. This
telegraph consists of fusees of different colours,
which are visible at a distance of about twenty-one
English miles. Each fusee represents six words.
and so a message of 800 words will require so
fusees, The key of the telegraphic signs contains
all the terms employed in the art of strategy, and
the signs themselves can be varied at will in order
to deceive the enemy. The whole thing is mex

LIBERTY, Feb. 10th 1871.


ED TRIBUNE: Having heard of the
death of the Lyceum in Manitowoc
[ thought it would not be ami-s to
send you note concerning the one
known as the Liberty debating society.
Last October through the energy and
influence of our worthy Presiden Mr..
Joseph Finch and James Tan h a
Lyceum was established in this vicinity.
At first it was weak but after short
time some Of the old farmers began to
take an interest in it and the good work
went on increasing in members and
knowledge, and at present there are
twenty members who take an active part
in all the proceedings. The members
assemble every Saturday evening at
seven p N. they have also constitu-
ton and by laws drawn up in Jefferson
ian style and conduct all their proceed
ings Oh parliamentary principles. 1t is
custom among them that each of the
members shall i'm succession deliver an
opening address before they proceed to
business. Mr. Hogan was the one ap-
pointed TO deliver the opening address
last Saturday evening. And on being
called upon. he spoke in very able and
appropriate manner After that the
compulsory education was taken up and
ably Diseased pro and con by all The
members present, those who spoke IN
the affirmative are Messrs Stepb cnson,
D NeiG, Goodwin, Brady Fad Carey.
The two latter came down with wen
geance'' that would have done honor to
Henry Clay. Those who spoke in the
negotive are Messrs Finch, Hogan,
White, and Others which ended the pro-
CRANE for that evening. Now in con-
clusion | will say that this society is an
honor to the young men who sustained
it and a credit to the community tn which
it is established and it is my sincere wish
that it may continue to flourish In Wit
aud wisdom and knowledge.
Yours truly

1t was beautiful day, Wedne day
week. at which time we started for De
pere. The pleasantness of our journey
was enhanced by the favorable weather,
We found the sleighing passable for sew
eral miles; but the ATTITUDES seemed tt
be inverted, inasmuch as the farther
north we went the less sleighing there
was. Our way was enlivened by the
prospects of having one of the finest ag-
ricultural regions in the State. We
passed through woody glens and over
hiil-tops on our winding way, there, oc-
caslonally yelping cur would spit forth
his vengeance. Arriving at Depere, we
found our friends Geo. Phipps, the live
ly little druggist who is alwavs up and
ready for business, and Mr. L. D. Bow
ering, an expert in the elegant art OF
photography. In company with Mr..
Phipps, we took drive to Green Bay.
That city was reached by a splendid
route through beautiful region lying
along the Fox river, stream destined
to be historic in coming times. While
at Green Bay, we met many of our old
acquaintances, but did not have much
time to spare with them as the day was
advancing and we were anxious to re-
turn to Depere before darkness should
overtake us.
Returning to Depere, we were RECALLED
by an entertainment by Christie's Min
strels, who performed at the California
House. This, by the way is fine pub
lie house. II is all that it claims to be,
and is ever ready to greet the traveller
with its dainties. Bemls & Son are pro-
prietors of the house. They are gentle
men in every respect, and what is un-
usual with hotel keepers they are rea-
sonable in THEN charges. We would
heartily recommend them to the travel.
ing public.
We took view of the far tanned iron
works, description of which was pub
lished In our columns some weeks since.
We were conducted through the Kit
factory by MIR. Alice. This establish
ment, requiring the employment of about
forty hands constantly, proves to be very
profitable. We were informed it is
capable of turning out several hundrei
kits each day.
During our short visit in Depere, it
was our good fortune to be invited TO
the residence Of DR.. Williams, where we
were charmed with a most delightful
musical entertainment. Mrs. Souther-
land, who was the leader in this enter
tainment, is queen in her profession,
and shows rare musical power.
We started on our return trip with
our pockets loa ded down with the dainty
hospitalities of our friends. All things
considered. trip in that direction affords
fine inducements to the pleasure seeker.
Not only is there goodly exhibition OF
the substantial things of life, but it is
not lacking in what tenders the spirit OF
the adventurer.

THE CONCERT. concert given on
last Saturday evening, by the German
Musical Society. proved ''the affair of the
season." in the musical line. The at
tendance was quite large; the finely Sc
lected programme contained all that
could be desired The choruses were
rendered in the most artistic style, and
of course the solos and DUETS by the
young ladies. were charming. The So
prano solo by Mrs. Bieling-an air from
the opera, the Night camp of Granada
was listened to with the utmost delight.
We can truely say,it was rendered in the
finest voice of anything we have been
favored with by any amateur in our city.
The lady possesses musical power and
education to an eminent degree. The
solo in the finale from the opera 'Eu-
rianthe' could hardly be excellcd by pro-
fessional performers of other cities, and
was repeated by request in the second
part The Watch on the Rhein" was
given with true patriotic enthusiasm and
loudly applauded. The accompaniment
by the qeartett club was most excellent
and that of Professor Bieling to the diff
ferent songs on the piano would have beer
unsurpassable, if he had only had an in
strument worthy of his master touch fol
such occasions. The Society are using
every effort to be enabled to procure 8
good concert piano, and we hope anc
sincerely trust that all will lend theil
best help for such good purpose
These efforts of the Musical Society are
we'll worthy of the most lihera! patronage
and support Of an educated and refined
music loving community. The only
| thing displeasing to our feeling was the
want of strong american representation
among the audience. 1t really seems a:
if the enjoyments of the grog shops were
the highest aim Of cur population. ShaI
the musical efforts of some of our fellow
citizens share the same fate with our Ly
ceum and Library? Can there nothing
be done for revival in our community i
only as far as moral progress and refine
ment? Friends. think of these things.
