1t should not be forgotten that Prof
William Denton, of Boston, Massachu
sets, will deliver a course of six lecture
in this city, commencing on Tuesda.
evening, January I'd, 1872. From tn
Minneapolis Mimi Evening Ne,Os, Of De
cembor 9th, We copy the following compli
nentary notice of Mr.. Denton's lecture
in that city:
Prof. Denton's opening lecture wa
largely attended, and the audience sat a
If spell-bound during the long talk of o.
hour and half. No other speaker tina
we ever heard, invests the dry subject o
geology with such interest AS Prof. Den
ton. The eloquence of the man is some
times perfectly astounding, and the onl,
regret is that his delivery is so rapid tina
the mind has not sufficient time to dwell
on the beauty of his flights. instruction
and pleasure are combined in the highes
degree in listening to Prof Denton. TIL,
lecture this evening will commence pre-
cisely at half past seven.
1t isa fact that the Gilbert dramatic
troupe have received very little encourage.
ment from the citizens of Cairo. 1t il
pie that have patronized them well, but
the great majority of our play-going peo-
| pie have not even been at the theatre one
evening. No one who has on any evening
since their opening in this city, glanced
| over the audience can have failed to OBJ
serve the great preponderence ofstrangers
present. This speaks we'll for our city,
for 1t is an evidence that q great many
strangers are visiting us on business, and
all that but it does not.speak so we'll for
the people who live here. Whenever
the theatre is closed, and there is no
| place of amusement for them to spend
their evenings, they do an exceedingly fine
article of grumbling; and denounce the
town as dry, the lessee Of the Atheneum
as stupid, and in a thousand other ways
make manifest their love of entertainment
and amusement. Just at this time there is
excellent opportunity for them to show
their appreciation Of the efforts of the
lessee of the Atheneum to furnish them
with good and cheap amusement. The
strangers who have visited the city during
the past two weeks have supported tho
troupe, and now lot the towns people
turn out and give them good houses the bal.
ance of their stay among us. AS will be
acknowledged by all who have seen them,
the company is good one and deserv es
well at our hands.

detective force Of Chicago, passed throug h
