Thc Lecture.

e Early Monday morning the bills
$ were in circulation announcing
D that Mr.. Geo. +. Lewis, of the
/. 'Sdgind,cian, Saginaw City, would
that evening deliver a lecture at
the Congregational Church, the
proceeds of which should be for
the benefit of the family of the late
Alexander Fisher, who was killed
at Rogers City on Tuesday of last
week. Although the notice was
short q very respectable audience
assembled in the evening, and they
were agreeably entertained for an
hour and half by Mr.. Lewis, who
delivered his lecture in a very able
manner. The object of this lecture
was to raise all the money possible
for the relief of the bereaved family
at once, and to start papers of
subscription with view of paying
off the Indebtedness on their little
home. The receipts of the even
ing were about 500, and little
over that amount was subscribed.
at the close of the lecture, a COM
mittee was appointed to take sub
scription papers and solicit and,
not only in money, but goods,
lumber and labor, that the widow
and child might have their now I'M
finished house completed, and be
left with at least home free from
debt.
We earnestly hope that our citi-
zens will contribute literally in
this case, and the desired object
may he accomplished, which can
he done, and that too, without a
single contributor being distressed.
There are those who cannot well
contribute money at present, but
useful donations will be thankfully
received. And to the carpenters
let us say that we consider it their
duty, as brother tradesmen of the
deceased, to see to the matter, and
to complete the work on the house
for the widow at the earliest OPP
portunity. There are carpenter
enough in town who can give few
days labor, and not discommode
themselves in the least. Wake up
and be doing, for "it is more blessed
to give than to receive"
