The object OF the Young Ladies' Temperance
Society in presenting the drama "Fanchon" on
next Tuesday evening is to obtain funds to con-
tmuc their reading room in its part excellence.
The room has become a public necessity, and II
for no other reason the entertainment should be
well patronized. But we are assured by those
who have witnessed rehearsals that the drama
well will be presented and VOL worth attending.
Indeed the sale of seats indicates that large a'
diencc will be present The play is familiar to
most theatre gocrs and by reference to
last weeks TRADER the cast will be found, In
addition, Nlilis's orchestra, under the dircc'
ton of Prof Raymond, will present some new
music arranged by Prot. r. never before played
here. Prof. Fitzgerald, one of the finest cornct
players who have ever played in Ottawa, will
also take part; giving cornet SOLO. which We
doubt not will be very fine. Secure your tickets

The circuit court for the past few days has
been quite the center of interest for gentlemen
of elegant or inclcgant leisure. The seats have
all been filed the rail crowded with bald heads
and inside of the rail the floor filed with law
.yers, students, and heightened gentlemen. The
case il Elizabeth Fry D. John s. Porter, hreech
of promise to marry; damages, $4,000. The
case is simmcring along AT rapid rate and John
IS rather in Il stew by this time. IL appears from
Eizabcth's testimony that they were engaged
within three months after the death of P0rtcr's
first wife, Tie engagement continuing for four
or five Years During most Of this time Porter
boarded at the house. Porter's health was bad,
~ improve which he would make periodical
visits to Colorado, California, Florida DC, at
each of which Journeys, she said, he would
prnmisc the ceremony should take place at his
return. In September 1871 he ceased attending
on her, and finding he had no intention Of marry.
ing her she brings this suit Some Of the tcst-
mony has been quite sparkling. The old lady, for
instance, swcars that one nighta looking glass in
her bed room disclosed Elizabeth and John 5
in the room opposite They were exceedingly
comfortable TO all appearances Elizabeth sat
upon John 5 ; knee; his arms cncircled her, and
the peculiar noises which result from osculatory
experience fell upon the old lady's cals. They
had forgotten TO "pull down the blinds Eliza
beths diary was also a fruitful literary produc-
ton. 1t was made mt Johns request, who, she
SAYS, bcia. led by the spirit into shady bowers
of scntimentalty and romance, suggested it
would bc yn interesting 10 look into in after days
to renew the halcyon time Of youth, and at sixty
live over again the counting days of twenty-five.
The lady kept her promise 10 make such u re-
cord most faithfully She noted down every
visit he made, even to the most uHevcntfu and
l the little plcasantrics aud seHtmcntalitics in
duiwcd in by word or deed were recorded with
most astounding mnuteness. II was very inter
tcstn. when produced, and supplemented by The
good memory Of a sharp, bright woman of TWEEN
Ity.scvcn SUMMERS, and made a bit of testimony
such Us lawyers lose their heads over On yes
tcrdav the defendants was opened. He
denies all the material facts of her testimony,
denies having requested her to keep diary, or
in any way intending to lead her to suppose he
desired to marry her Anyway the jury will have
their saw which We will report next week.
Mcssrs Bull and Bushnell represent Elizabeth
and Mayo and Blanchard the defendant.

\ very select little company of our people, as
sembcd in the parlors Of the Clifton Hotel on
Monday evening, had the pleasure of hearing
an exceedingly wcllconstructed lecture by the
Rev O. l.. Barrier, an cy- Baptist clergyman, on
the subject of Swedenborgiansm, or the claims
of the New Church, or Church of the New Jcru-
salem. The lecture, though an hour and n half
in length, was necessarily but rapid Swimming
over the surface Of very wide subject The
lecturer commenced by telling Us, in the first
place, who Emanuel Swcdcnborg was. He was
Il native Of Sweden, born of blue blood or the
upper class Il graduate, ut the are Of II Of the
University of Upsal, and having, after his grad
uation, spent year or two among the principal
European Universities, settled down AT y in the
employ of the Swedish government, in which he
continued until - years of age. His official
duties, however, did not prevent him from de-
voting a large portion Of his time To scientific
pursuits, and with such success that he is claim
ed to have been the most learned man of his age,
| if not, indeed of any age. Emerson calls him
the ''mastodon Of ntclccts" and says his was
the greatest mind the world ever saw. Between
| his 23d and 18th year he had written some tween.
| ty volumes on scientific subjects, covering al
most the entire field of scientific inquiry rs ma.
! tural philosophy, chemistry, geology astronO'
! my, navigation, Sc., each treatise being mas
ter piece in its way and many dccadcsin advance
of his age. From his 55th year To his death at
| 50 he gave his whole attention to theology and
it was when about 81 years old that "thc Lord
opened his spiritual eyes, and he was enabled t.
see the truths of religion with Respondent

since the days Of the Savior Being thus placed
/ in communication, - il were, with the inctiablc
and all-sccing, he has been enabled to give the
world true Interpretation Of the holy scriptures
and To point out to his creatures the ways OF
God to man with infalliblc precision.
/ To understand the scriptures, the common
reader, not blessed with spiritual sight, is taught
to interpret the literal word by n system OF cor
responsiveness that unfold to him the true spir
itua meaning. The lecturers explanation o
this system was rather deficient. He said, how
ever, that when we read of mountains in III,
scriptures, wc are to understand high spirit

DEGRADED state; when OF water, 1t means truth
of muddy water, fasehood. The New Jcrusa

Another Change.

The present season seems to be zone of i'm
proyement, enlargement and extension Of trade
1t is visible everywhere, and shows that while
lit is fact times are still dull there is shortly to
open up an era OF prosperous trade. No where
lin Ottawa s this idea kept in view more than at
FIsKE Il BEEM's great clothing house on Madi-
son street We have heretofore mentioned the
fact of their merchant tailoring department be-
ing rcmodccd. The alterations consists in
changing the staircase, the addition of windows
on the north and east sides and interior painting
and decoration. The benefits of which are in
creased light and consequently increased com
fort to customers.
This, however important, is perhaps secondary
in interest to the fact that
ANEW DEPARTURE
has been made in the system OF manufacturing
ready made clothing, by which a new depart
mcnt has been introduced Most of the large
establishments of the country have lately intro
duced departments in which are manufactured
suits or parts of suits at popular prices. For
example, in one department are manufactured
such fine goods as wedding and full dress suits,
| and medium business suits; in the second are
made up what for lack Of better term we may
call ready made goods made to order" This
latter has become very popular, since it is OBJ
vous that while the cost is no more than the
cost OF ready made goods, the clothing is far SUI
| pcrior in make and more satisfactory as TO fit
| ting. The new departure of FIsKE ~ BEEN de-
vclopcs the above ideas. In Department will

During last Wednesday afternoon lady from
the neighborhood of the C., Il. X Q. railroad
water tank came down town and told Marshal
Murray that body of some Is or 20 tramps was
in the neghborhood, and that they were acting
in such manner as to make the women OF the
ncighborhood uneasy since they were without
protectors. The Marshal and officers Brennan
and Becker Immediately started for the north
crd. On the feeder bridge crossing the Rock
Island, three were picked up and given over to
the charge of Becker who started toward town.
At the tank were some ID or 20. When Murray
and Brennan came up, one tramp whom Bren-
nan had shipped out of town the night before
separated from the crowd and took to his heels
down the track, Brennan following till he cap
turcd the fugitive. While Brennan was absent,
Murray approached the main gang and asked
them questions to which they gave eyasivc an
swers While the talking was going on, one left
the crowd ana walked OF. Murray called to him
to halt he did not. Murray followed, and call
ed to him a second time; still he did not stop
and he called & third time. As he called the
third time the gang behind started down the
bank with the suggestion on the part of one to
"kill the - -" on the part of another, yes,
kill him" Considerably alarmed, both his as
sistants being absent, Murray drew his pistol and
fired at the man he had called to to halt, not,
however, he says, with the attention of hitting
him, and Immediately turned on the rest and
warned them to step, which they did. When
Brennan came up they baggcd about dozen OF
them. Then it was discovered that the man sho,
at was hurt. Nevertheless he pulled oil his
clothing and evidently spoiled for fight" He
marched along, however but at King N llamil.
toms he said he would walk no further, and the
rest of the way to the calaboosc he was carried,

The wound of the injured man was Immediately
dressed by DR.. Petit who says the "ball entered
an inch and Il half or two inches below the point
of the shoulder blade on the right side, barely
striking the rib CHANGING slightly, entered the
lung, distance of about half an inch. On prob.
ing for the ball he found it but decided not tn re-
move it, for the ball was very small and the nee
cssary cutting would make a worst wound than
to leave il uncXtractcd." After supper, on the
order Of Marshal Murray and Alderman Hull, he
was taken To DR. Wards on La Sale St, where he
