The Cheap Lecture Course.

The Lecture Course which was mentioned
in our local columns last week will, we
think, Judging from the present outlook,
prove success. Only few more tickets
need to be sold to make it an absolute GER
tainty. We understand that the gentlemen
who have the matte. in charge will cndeav-
or to complete the list, and we hope that
all will respond who desire to see such
things encouraged in Watersown. By a
biunder in type we called Prof Rock God
an evolutionlst instead of an elocutionist,
and we desire to ask that gentleman's par
don, for although he has been in the lecture
field, we have never heard that evolution
was one of his subjects. Although prophet
has no honor in his country we can give
our readers an idea of the estimate the
Whitewater people have where he Is best
known and where he has given many en-
tertainments gratui tously for various OBJ
jects: Some time since they requested him
to give reading for his own benefit as
well as theirs, and the net receipts of the
entertainment were over ninety dollars.
This course of entertainments will be held
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Lyceums, We will again call che attention
to the low price, the tickets being sold at
SO cents for the course, which is less than

Boots and Shoes,

Watertown has been cursed with Peter
Funk auctions and humbug bankrupt stocks
OF clothing, boots and shoes, SC. We, how.
ever, take pleasure in announcing the arri-
val of bankrupt stock of boots and shoes
in the store lately occupied by Jake Hirsh
in John Coles block, under the supervis-
ion of Mr.. W. F. Sommerfeld, who is know n
to a few in this yicirity a: least The
stock consists of a very large line of ladies,
misses and childrens shoes, mems calf and
kip boots and winter goods, Mr. Sommer-
6e d purchased an entire stock from an
assignee in bankruptcy at 50 cents on the
dollar, and you can find complete assort-
ment at nearly one-haf their real value,
and all 6rst-class goods.

n w Years.

New Years day was quite enjoy ably
spent in this city by the multitude. Bust :
ness was set aside and general disposition
shown to drive dull care away and observe
the beginning of 1877 under pleasant aus
pieces. The poor sleighing was somewh hat
improved by slight fall of snow during
the morning, making rather an unple asan
outlook for the day, however, in
the weather line but before noon the snow
ing ceased and the sun came out bright and
strong, denoting in lis brillisnt rays an
suspicious opening of the new Year. Still
the air had the genuine winter crisp to it,
but no too much so for enjoyment The
custom of making New Year calls, which
had grown into disuse among us to some
extent for few years back, was revived
here 10 considerable degree this year. and
we believe everyone will hail its restoration
with pleasure. The ladies must have been
in their happiest "receiving" mood for all
greeted their callers with the greatest grace
and pleasure, to say nothing of the ample
preparations most of them made for their
visitors in the serving of refreshments.
From the character of the ''day's doings,"
We should Judge that our community had
made good start in the race for 1877. and
we hope they will pursue their course under
as propitious circumstances during the
entire year.

midst of the holiday season. The ladies
made extensive preparations for large

things considered, the ladies met with very
good success. For several years past the
ladies of st. Beruard's Church have

attaining the objects sought, and the pro-

sum, assisting materially in raising the
