The Grand Lodge of Good Templars met
at Music Hall, in this city, on Tuesday
morning of last week, and the session con
tinued until Thursday, when the proceed
iDgs closed. The attendanc &c was not as LARGE
as that present at some of the previous
Grand Lodge Conventions in this State, but
many of the foremost Temperance people of
!, Wisconsin reported themselves and pave to
| the proceedings the benefit of their aid and
encouragement On Wednesday evening the
Annual Address was delivered by Rev. "
| z. Stowe, OF Oshkosh. The address occu.
pied about an hour IN delivery, and was q
mastery production.
We are strongly opposed to the Political
action he recommended the temperance peo-
pie to pursue, but we must accord to him the
credit OF being sincere in his sentiments He
brought many strong arguments to bear in
his discourse, and the speaker was lis ten ed
TO throughout with marked attention. After
the address the following officers, who had
previously been elected by the convent ton,
were installed by P. G. w. c. T., Hon. H. H.
Giles
G. w. G. TT. D. Kanouse, Of Sun
Prairie
U. w. C.-J. A. johnson, of Melrose.
u. w. V. T.-Mrs. Dennet, of Baraboo.
u. w. S.-W. B. Hazeltne, of Beaver
Dam.
G. ". T-Mrs. S. J. Pay, of Milwaukee.

Grand Chaplain-Rev. Mr. Sewell, Of

6. W. |. G.-Miss N. 7. Bryan.
6. w. Q. CD. F. Parker
Grand Representatives-Hon S. D. Hast
lngs, Miss Mary Carmichael, and Mrs. R. A :.
Lawrence.
The salary Of Grand Chief Kanouse was
liked as 81, 500, and it is intended that he
shall devote his entire time to the duties of
bis Office He is expected to visit all the
Lodges and institute a number of new ones.
The question of retrenchment seemed to
govern the action of the Grand Lodge to
some extent, In the case of the Secretary.
his salary was reduced from $500 to $500.
The best of feeling prevailed on the part of
these present during the entire session, and
we believe the meeting was profitable to he
cause of temperance throughout the State.
Madison was selected for the neYt nIaca of
meeting.
During the meeting of the Grand Lodge
we were favored with calls from many mem
bers Of the press, and others who were dele
gates. We hope all left our city 18th the
most favorable impressions of Natertown
and her people.

Read the Following:

1t affords me much pleasure to give you,
in these few lines, a very sincere testimoni-
al for the Piano-F ortes of your manufacture.
We have now used the Patent Arion Pianos
in our Conservatives for year, and have
had fair opportunity of testing their du-
rability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly,
from morning till night, and Piano mist
indeed be good one when it will bear
such constant use without showing signs
of detection. AS for remaining in tune, it
outrivals any Piano known to me-
Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the
treble, las compared to other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement
is so striking that | have had pupils res
mark, while taking their lessons, that al
supposed to be one of the best makes Of
Pianos still the treble was very wirey
toned compared with the Arion.
What makes them still more desirable is
their uniform volume oftone, which enable
an artist to perform a composition in its
| trne character.
In total can eonscientiously endorse all
that is claimed by the Arion Piano-Forte
Company for their superb instruments, as
consider them superior to any other make,
Congratulating you upon the great suc-
cess you have obtained in the manufacture
of 30 perfect an instrument, | remain yours,
Very truly,
HENRY SCHROEDER,
Director.

Bishop went to tina church at the appointed

upon Dr. Chensy's presence in the chancel
during the services to this the Bishop OBJ
jected, and, after reading protest. finally
withdrew without performing the rite OF

ward still keeps the lead in the number o.
children, although the Second falls only %
behind. The greater number Of children
are between the ages of ank Is years, In
three of the seven wards the girls out
number the boys, but in the sum total the
boys exceed the girls by just half dozen,
so that the girls eed not be afraid of dying
old maids if he boys can only be made to
do their duty. Three children Only in the

Z. A shell at--NIont Avron.,
Richmond. Va.

From picturesque or dramatic point
of view, there was one Of the three thou
sand shells fred at Mont Avron which
produced startling effect, writes the
Paris correspondent of the Daily Ne'cs.
In the midst of the firing, nine people sat
down to breakfast in small house upon
the plateau of Akron. There were the
commander Of the sixth battalion Of
Mobiles of the Seine M. Heintzle,) his
wife, the adjutant of the battalion, a cap
tain, two lieutenants, an ensign, chap
lain, and doctor-nearly all of the same
battalion.
A Prussian shell came smashing upon
the table and killed six of the party. The
commandant and his wife were wounded.
The only one who escaped unhurt was
the doctor. OF the eight persons who
were killed yesterday, six belonged to the
little breakfast party. What an incident
for the future novelist Nine persons, in
Guiding lady, are jesting over their frugal
breakfast, which they are determined to
enjoy in spite of the cannon. There wants
but shell to give us butter, says one OF
the party. Instantly comes shell and
blows six of them out of existence, while
wounding two more, tho commandant and
his wife.
