MATILDA FLETCHER'S LECTURE-A
large and appreciative audience gather.
e at the Congregations Church last
Friday evening to hear from this elo-
quent lady Of Men and Their Whims.'
The title of the lecture is evidently a
misnomer at least, it does not give a
true idea of the subject matter of the
effort, which is devoted to scarhiEg
consideration Of the rotten civil service
system of our government. Her illus
trations of the evils of this political sore
were vivid and her denunciations only
more deserved than severe, but her
recommendations for its cure occupied
less prominent place and were, per
haps, not perfectly re assuring. This
part, comprising the substance OF her
lecture, was highly appreciated and re-
peatedly applauded by her audience, as
was also her rebuke and announcement
OF free lovism and free lovers. The
rhapsody with which she described the
place of voting-a country school house,
for instance-when with the advent of
women as voters it should be carpeted
aud adorned with paintings and sculp-
ture, though a pretty fancy, was not
very matter Of fact, to say the least.
All considered. however, Mrs, +. is a
pleasant lady and gives an admirable
lecture in an admirable manner, and we
hope the fates may send her soon again
this way.

ever, they did not arrive until Saturday,
when they were at once sent out, copies
being placed in the Office here so that
all our subscribers who called for their

GREAT IMPROvEMENT.-To any one
who will take look into the large, con-
venient and really elegant room in
which B. Lang commences to-day dis
pensing the best of fresh meat to his
many customers, the vast difference
between such an establishment and such
a way of carrying on the business and
the old days Of dirt und Dunfee will be
most wonderfully manifest. At the
hands of that excellent workman NJ.
Beach, the room has been fitted up with
the finest panelled and ornamented
racks and counters; Ed. Ingman has
done such a job of painting and finish
ing as only he can do; and with the oil
mating on the floor, the marble topped
counter before you and the mirrors and
pictures around, you would find it diff
ficult to imagine yourself in a meat
market were it not for the substantial
evidence in the way of the neatly dress
ed carcasses, and piles of steak, sausage
and roasts that occupy the racks and
blocks.
From Lang's market you should go to
his slaughter house and grounds, where
you will find large lot of cattle and
hogs for which extra price has been
paid to keep them for home consump-
tion-always kept ahead that none but
those i'll just the right condition need be
killed. In the slaughter house are ma
ny of the approved conveniencies for
the business, including steam vat for
scalding hogs. To these he is continu-
ally adding, determined to put himself
in perfect shape for killing and caring
for stock. Granaries and cribs are con-
venient and full and everything beto-
kens skill, care and cleanliness. Lang's
establishment throughout is one of the
best and most complete ones Of which
our town can boast
