Buffalo BILL.

Buffalo Bill and his company drew big house
on Tuesday night last and gave good show,
highly appreciated by the lovers of the sensation
al The shooting of the Austin Brothers was
marvellous and ELECTED the widest applause,
while the whip-cracking by Cha-sha-sha-o o-poges
set the gallery gods frantic. 'Mr" Two Bears,
who was announced, did not tappear. Having as
sisted Mr.. Cody at Chicago, he made up his mind
that Bill was making him ''do all the work" al
which his noble nature rcbeled, and he left the
party for the luxurious comfort of his own com
munity on the plains.

Theodore TiltOn.

Theodore Tilton, per announcement, deliv-
cred his lecture, "The Problem Of Life" Mt the
Opera House, to good audience, on Thursday
evening last. The lecture is generally regarded
as brilliant effort and characteristic of the man
Eloquent, brilliant in u literary point of view,
eccentric both in composition and in delivery, ii
made profound impression on the audience
He is evidently deeply convinced of the truth OF
his theories, and aims to as deeply impress upon
his hearers the truth as he sees it, The necessity
of mankind, he believes, is higher standard OF
morals, and the solution of this problem is only
through the individual character. While there
arc few great men, few wealthy men, yet the du
ty of each individual is the highest cultivation o
his own characteristic making the most of him
self that his nature will allow, and thus, through
the individual, to raise the race nearer and near
er to ultimate perfection.

Cleaning House.

Yes, II. J. GILLES is cleaning house, but, char
acterstcally, he is doing it in manner different
from that of most house cleaners. The way he
is doing it is by general reduction from all high
prices-not using soap and water, but the more
substantial way of cleaning off his shelves Here
is a great stock of goods complete in every way
a superb stock of DRESS GOODS, those splendid
SILKS, domestics, blankets, everything in fact
which must be sold, and are offered at cleaning
house prices. Give the house call, and find the
most complete stock in the city, offered at prices
beyond competition.

Military Drill and Ball.

nnext Thursday evening takes place the long
looked tor drill and hop to be given by the Otta-
wa Guards, l. n. g., at Willis's Hall, to begin as
the invitations read at o'clock. This is go.
ing to be the event of the month"; at least. A
large number of invitations have been issued
several hundred-and great attendance is eX-
pected. To make creditablc appearance the
boys have been put through severe course of
drilling, and we venture to say few companies of
its age can surpass our Guards, though specta-
tors must not expect to see (on waXed floor es-
pecialy) the degree of perfection exhibited by
companies whose training has extended over a
number of years. The utmost pains have been
and will be taken to make the whole evening as
enjoyable as possible, and if those who have re-
ceived invitations attend, it will be their own
weakness If they do not enjoy themselves. And
aside from the intrinsic attractions OF the enter
tainment, which ought To draw all lovers OF
amusement, the guards should receive the hearty
patronage of their invited guests as n matter OF
encouragement, this being the first and only time
they heve called for assistance, and surely they
will be giving the moneys worth.

desire to call attention to the fact that our
military company, which was lately organized
under the laws Of the state, is an important insti-
tuition in this city and well deserves from our
people the encouragement and assistance neces-
sary to make it a complete success. The com
pany is composed Of large number Of the best
young men of the city and is commanded and
drilled by officers of high character and rare
ability. The expenses attending the organiza.
tion Of the company have been quite large
amounting to about five hundred dollars-all Of
which have been borne by the company, they
never having solicited any aid from the public
The service which the young gentlemen com
prisng this company are performing under the
law is purely patriotic service, and they should
not be left to bear all of the expenses alone

! Editors Of the Free Tradel-It was suggested at
our annual election, last week, that since the
Rutland and Manius Farmers Mutual Fire In
this county, and perhaps, also, in the state) has
been in successful operation for five years, it
might be OF sufficient public interest to warrant
you in publishing the following short statement
of progress and condition:
| The company was chartered Dec. 30th, 1872,
and began insuring property Jan. 18th, 1878. At
! the close of the year there were reported sixty
four members, and an aggregate of one hun
dred and twenty y-seven thousand dollars insured.
As stated, the company has been doing business
| for five years, and now numbers more than one
hundred members while the amount insured has
gradually risen to two hundred and thirty-seven
thousand dollars, (s237, ,OOO,) as reported on the
31st day Of December last. Thus far the compa.
ny has been remarkably fortunate, having sus'
tanned no losses, and the members have been Se
curely insured at merely nominal cost of little
less than one dollar and twenty five cents each
on each one thousand dollars for five years. The
following officers were unanimously reelected
]. r. Shaver, Pres; J. 7. Nichol, Treas; f. p
Bosworth, Sec, A. c. Barnes and A. b. Good
rich, Surveyors. 1t will be readily understood
that these officers draw no princely salaries ant
no one, not even Yankee, would guess tha
much of the necessary business is done almos
gratuitously. However the case may be, none o
them are likely to buy votes for the sake of re
tanning the office. Very respectfully,
