Took Yesterday after
noon 1fr. VIII Carleton, the poet, lee
tnred before the Sunday Lecture Society
at the Academy of Music, on the s'Gold
Ell Horse" The audience was the best
that has greeted any lecturer yet this
season. Mr.. Carleton is a tall, graceful
man, with flowing brown hair, slight
moustache and goatee, and good voice
and manner.
His address was in poetry, and it
stock immensely. In opening he told
the story of the Greek wooden horse,
and the havoc it played in Troy. The
story was interspersed with many bril-
led the audience vastly. He took up
the history OF our country in modern
times, Out of the house came Sham
and his wife, all dressed in falsity, their
ambition being TO seem, to deceive.
The poet here made a diatribe against
silaEis of all kinds, and did it well. To
illustrate point IL his lecture he gave
one of his poems, the Farewell to the
Old House." 1t was warmly applauded.
Dense ignorance accompanied sham.
To illustrate this he recited his spleE-
did poem in dialect, showing the
country school board butting against
the modern schooimaster. Avarice was
pictured by Mr.. Carleton in ''Over the
Hill to the Poor house. a poem very
familiar. 1t was followed by the sequel to
it, in which the bad son was sent up for
stealing horses, reforms and grows rich,
comes home from the West, takes the
old lady out of the poor house, and
makes her declining years happy. He
also gave the dandy, to the delight of
the young folks. The lecture was
most charming one, and Mr.. Carleton
made friends of all the audience by it

THE following items We clip from the
Chronicle: Upwards Of sixty men are
now engaged IN cutting ice upon the
Nishicott river at this place =. Large
quantities Of brick are being hauled from
Manitowoc to this place. The brick are
to be used in the construction of y.
Wehausen's new grist mill, which viii
be commenced in the spring. Mrs.
Driscoi, an old lady who had reached
upwards of hundred years of age. died
in the town of Meme last Tuesday
She was born in the county OF Cork,
Ireland, and emigrated TO this country
some ten or twelve years ago, since
which time until her decease, she resid-
ed IN Meme. The temperance meet
ing called at Boldus' Hall, last Wednes-
day evening, was largely attended, and
was the means of organizing Temple
of Honor at this place. At the close of
the meeting eighteen names were secur-
ed, and four more have been added dur
inc the week. The charter has been
secured, and the lodge is to be fully
organized next Friday evening. The
storm of last week proved very disas-
trous to the fishermen at this place. A
large number OF nets were out when the
blow came on, and there is now scarcely
hope that any of them viii be recover
ed. The total loss is estimated at about
$500. of which Mr.. Endress loses $500.
The Gagnon Bros, Peter Lafond and
Oliver Pelon are also heavy losers. AL
the nets lost, it is estimated, would
make string ten miles long.

SATURDAYS FIRE.-At about one o'clock
on the morning of Saturday last, and
while the wind was blowing a gale from
the northeast, the building on Eighth
street. just north OF the bridge, occupied
by 2. Stadler, was discovered to be in
flames. The alarm was promptly given
and steamer No. !, seven minutes later,
was throwing two powerful streams
upon it. While this prompt response
of the engine prevented the fire from
spreading to the buildings on the west,
the ieweiry store of Liebenow & Son,
adjoining the saloon on the north, could
not be saved, the FIRE having gained
such Roadway in the interior of the
buildings before being discovered, al
though it was not entirely destroyed.
The saloon building viii have to be
RACED. Steamer No. was on the ground
promptly, but it was some time before
It could be made to do effective service
which was not the fault OF the engineer
or his assistants The buildings were
the property of Mr.. 0. Torrison, who
estimates his loss at $500, upon which
there is no Insurance. Mr.. Stadler
estimates his loss at $500, insured
for $500 in the Fanuiel Hall, Co.,
of Boston. Liebenow 6 Son sus-
tanned a loss estimated at $3.50, fully
insured. Old Mr.. liebenow, who
sleeps in the rear OF the store, narrowly
escaped sufIocation, and made his exit
from the building just IL the ''nick of
time" The origin of the fire is IN
known.
