For about two years the city has been left |,
in total darkness on dark nights on account
of disagreement with the gas company, and
our citizens have been obliged to grope c
their way as best they could in the dark. c
An opportunity is now offered by the Sun C
Vapor Burner Co.. ofCanton, O., to light the I
streets with "a degree deodorized or redis. E
titled gasoline or naphtha. This Company
offers to furnish burners, gasoline, keep the n
lanterns cleaned, fill the lamps and light
them at $l8 per post, for from seventy five
to one hundred posts. They will commence
lighting the lamps at dark and will put
them out between IL and o'clock A. M.
The agent of the company was in this city
last week, and kept one of his lamps burn
ing at Lyman & Sons corner. The lamp
threw light for twenty-five or thirty feet
from the post, and as the Company will N
guarantee all the lamps they put in to be as
good as the one on exhibition the city can p
run no risk. This burner was patented in =
July, 1882, and is not the one tried here
our or five years ago. We have been in
formed that the city paid the gas company
1923 per post when the city was lighted with
gas, and had to pay man $3.50 per night
10 light the lamps. 1t will be seen that
there is big saving in burning gasoline,
and we hope our city fathers will give it
trial
The first of the series of lectures under d
he auspices of the Episcopal and Congrega-
tional societies was delivered in Apollo
Hall on Monday evening last, by Rev. DR..
F. A. Noble, of Chicago. The lecturer was
introduced to the audience by Judge Van 5
WICK in few we'll chosen words. The at c
tendance was good, embracing much of the {
intelligence and literary taste of the city.
The lecture course promises to be successful, d
and great credit is due to those who were d
active in securing the requisite means for
sustaining it. The subject of the lecture
was. Sour American Poets" The three
selected for the lecturers theme were Long
fellow, Bryant and Whittier. The charac-
teristics of each of these distinguished poets .
were treated in manner which exhibited
careful study and just appreciation of their 2
respective qualities. To simply say the
lecture was good one does not sufficiently a
express its merits; it was above the average J
ordinarily called good DR.. Noble has a
good personal presence, an agreeable voice :
and pleasing manner, his choice of language
excellent. His rendering of select pas -, ,
sages from the poets was not as thrilling as
sometimes heard from professional elocution-
lists, but they were certainly in good taste,
unpretentious and appropriate, as coming
from lecturer in the ministry. The good
people of Kenosha are to be congratulated
that the present winter season will not be
allowed to run to waste with pro6tless amuse
ments, but that intellectual entertainments
will be afforded to such as desire higher
