THE Wendell RENEFIT.
The Entertainment 60 be Repeated
Tonight by Request.

Tonight by Request.
At the close of the Wendell concert
last night, Hon. Mills Gardner addressed
Mr.. Robinson, the musical director,
and, on behalf of the audience, ten
dered thanks for the delightful enter
tainment, and requested that it be re-
peated, in furtherance Of the worthy
object for which 1t was given and for
the qualification Of the public. Judge
Priddy seconded the request, which
was enforced by unanimous vote of
the house,
Mr.. Robinson, after consulting the
ladies and gentlemen taking part in the
entertainment, expressed their willing
ness to comply with the request, and it
was decided to repeat the concert to-
night, at Music Hall. On the sugges-
ton of Mr.. G. A. Palmer, the price Of
admission was placed at 25 cents to all
parts of the house, with no reserved
seats.
We have not time this morning to
speak of the entertainment further than
to say that it was a complete success.
The music was grand and splendid
audience was in attendance. The house
will be crowded again tonight.

Mrs. LivermOre's Temperance Lecu
nmrR

MFss LiVeFmOre's Temperance Lecu
Gure.
On Sunday evening last we had the
pleasure of listening to one of the
most logical and effective addresses on
the subject of temperance we have ever
heard. Mrs. LivermOre is lecturer
of high character, and whatever sub
iect she undertakes to discuss is ham
died with a skill that is rarely equaled
by any of our public speakers. Her
language is pure, her positions tenable
and her arguments logical. She has
lectured here several times under the
auspices Of our Young Mems Lecture
Association, and has never failed to Sc
cure crowded house and give satisfac-
ton to her audiences. This time her
lecture was in the interest of the great
and good cause Of temperance, at the
solicitation of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union, and was free to all
who could get in the church, which,
however, was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, every foot of space being Occu-
pied, and many were unable to get even
standing room in the house.
Her lecture occupied in its delivery
from one hour and half to two hours,
and all the time the vast audience
seemed spell-bOund. No lecturer who
has ever appeared before Washington
audience was listened to closer or more
interestedly than Mrs, Livermore. No
body seemed wearied or restless during
the whole time. At the close of the
lecture liberal contribution was taken
for the benefit of our own Woman's
Christian Association. And here let
us say that the ladies Of our town who
have so diligently and faithfully
worked in the cause of temperance
should be encouraged III their good eff
forts and work, both with personal in
fuence and money. They are certainly
doing good educational work in the
cause of temperance, sobriety and the
morals of the town and county, and
every man, woman and child is inter-
ested in this human culture. Let US
not only bid them God-speed, bullet us,
as citizens and as individuals, give
them our personal assistance, and con-
tribute some of our financial means to
help them carry on work having for its
object the raising up Of the unfortunate
fallen and the moral elevation of our
race. The cause is certainly worthy
of our best efforts, and he who fails to
put them forth in the cause fails to per-
form a great moral and Christian duty.

Carp culture for TURNER'S.

The Philadelphia Ledger has been study
ing Professor Baird's report of the work OF
the United States Fish Commission, and
makes some remarks upon one feature OF
that work-namely, the introduction Of carp.
We reproduce what it says for the encour-
agement of those readers of the FREE PRESS
who have recently Turned their attention to
fish culture. 1t says:
"The business of water farming has al
ready its rules and its profits. 1t makes an
cd farmer stare to be told that quarter OF
an acre, laid down in water, viii bring him
in more profit, in food raising, than 4 quar-
ter OF an acre cultivated in any other way.
Also that corn fed 10 carp brings in twice or
three times the returns in food that the same
number of bushels fed to pigs or other cat
tie does. The carp Is a vegetable feeder, so
that it supports itself in the vegetable
growths and conferve of ponds and streams.
But it thrives and increases enormously
when regularly fed as other stock Is fed. II
does It's own graziug II it il let alone; but
can be fattened Tor the market or cabbage
leaves or bread crumbs. It's most profitable
lOOO. NONtNtE. - Ntittl VI N'lli ~AtltAA -,
corn out of the corn-crib, dried on the cob
and then boiled"
Less than four years ago about one hun
dred and thirty European carp Bohemian
and Others, were brought alive TO this com
Try and given home in the ponds of the
Commission 81 Washington. These have
increased so rapidly that the Commission
recently found itself in possession Of 10000
of these desirable fish, nlishare distributed
over the country to these who apply FOR
thcm About $1,000 young fish, in lots OF
twenty, have already been distributed thro'-
out New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
Missouri. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Connecticut, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas and
Mississippi. There are, 600 applicants still
to be supplied in turn. The progeny of
twenty in few years is sufficient to stock a
five-acro poad, but the quarter-acrc ponds
are sufficient to BEGIN with and to work iol
market and table supplies. The carp breed
at two 10 three years of age, and their growth
Is as rapid rs their fccundity is great The
"four-ycar old," in the Government ponds
weigh from ten 90 fifteen pounds. rs So
many farmers have ponds upont their ground,
and so many more might have them, We
think that the culture OF the carp should be-
come source of supply in numerous farm

source of income.
