DIR. BoLLEs' LECTURE.-The lecture of DR..
Bolles, at City Hall last evening, was not as
we'll attended as it should have been, the hall
not being more than half filled. The lecture
was one of the most interesting that has been
given for some time. TheIsceues shown were
taken from the book of Joshua, which supplies
the first twelve lessons of the International
Series for the present year. The audience was
highly pleased both with the pictures and the
fine descriptions and explanations given by
DR.. Bolles If the lecture should be repeated
the hall would probably be filled, as the people
did not know what treat was in store for
them. 1t was given to large houses in Salem.

THE FAIRY WEDDING.
BY MANY A. nArHnunY.

A little brown mother sat in her nest,
With four sleepy birds tucked under her
breast,
And her querulous chirrup fell ceaseless
and low,
While the wind rocked the lilac-tree nest
to and fro.
''Iie still, little nestEngsl lie still while

To THE PEOPLE OF ONO.

To THE PEOPLE OF ONO.
The undersigned, composing the
Board of Centennial Managers for the
State of Ohio, take the liberty to address
you on the subject of celebrating the
One Hundredth Anniversary of the
Declaration of American independence,
by holding an International Exhibition,
at the City of Philadelphia in the year
OF 1876.
We propose, in the first place, to call
your attention briefly to the Acts of the
Congress of the United States on the
subject.
On the third of March, 1871, Congress
by an almost unanimous vote, passed q
law for the celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of American Indepen-
dence. This law provides, that the COM
pletion of the first century of our national
existence should be commemorated with
appropriate ceremonies by an Exhibition
of the natural resources of the country
and their developments, and Of the
progress in those arts which benefit
mankind in comparison of those of other
nations; that it should be National
Celebration under the auspices of the
Government of the United States, in
which the people of the whole country
should participate; that it should be held
at Philadelphia, the city in which occur
red the great event it is designed to
commemorate, and that the celebration
should be under the direction of Com
missioners appointed by the President
of the United States, ON the nomination
of the Governors of the several States
and Territories.
In June, 1872, another Act was passed
making provisions for securing the funds
requisite, by enabling all who have
shared the common blessings resulting
from National Independence, to aid il
the preparation and conduct of the
Exhibition and Memorial Celebration.
This Act Incorporates the "Centennial
Board of Finance" giving it the author
ity to secure subscriptions of capital
stock, not exceeding ten millions OF
dollars, to be divided into shares of ten
each, and to issue to subscribers certif-
oates therefor. These certificates are by
another section of the Act to be engraved
with appropriate designs, at the Treasury
Department at Washington, and will be
a beautiful work of art, worthy OF
preservation rs a memorial of the event
to be celebrated. The money raised in
this way, and that raised by another
process hereafter spoken Of, is to be
used in the erection of the buildings,
(except the artbuilding paid forby Phil
adelphia and the State of Pennsylvania,
which after the Exhibition closes are tc
be sold, and the proceeds, with all other
receipts, after paying expenses, to be
paid pro rata to the stockholders. What
the pecuniary result will be is difficult
TO foretell; but those whose opportuni
ties of estimating it are best, say thai
the present indications are that a large
dividend will be paid on the stock, if il
be not redeemed in full.
The Board Of Finance have provided
