FROM THE BLARNEY STONE TO
VESUVIUS. .

This subject will be ably handled al
the Opera House in this city next Tues.
day evening, the Goth inst. by Rev. DR.,
Carroll, under the auspieces of Wilkin
Post. This lecture receives many com.
pliments from the eastern press, among
them the following from the Newburgh,
n. Y. Journal:
"One of the largest audiences which
ever gathered in this city to listen to a
lecture was that which crowded the
American Reformed Church last even
ing, on the occasion of lecture by Rev.
DR.. Carroll. The title of the lecture
was "From the Blarney-Stone to Vssuv-
ius," and abounded with sketches OF
travel in Europe, accounts of notable
persons and places, presented with SO
much charm of eloquence and humor
and fine description that the audience
were delighted and gave frequent mani
festations of their pleasure. Any lecture
committee wishing to get a hall we'll
filed and the audience royalty enter
tanned after they are assembled would
be in luck if they could secure DR.. Car
roll for lecture.

IMPORTANT,

Below we give word from the trus.
tees of the Mankato Opera House which
we ask those interested to read and con.
slider.
The owners of the Mankato Opera
House have now placed in position over
500 chairs, 100 of which are much more
costly than any contemplated by any
promise or agreement made by such
owners, and in all respects, in our opin-
ion, the owners of the Opera House
have substantially and fully kept and
performed their agreement with the
subscribers to the fund in aid of building
and furnishing the same.
The matter of determining when the
building should be completed in accord
ance with the agreement was left by all
parties to the judgement of the under
signed, and in their opinion the same
has been, and is now, so completed, and
the owners are entitled to the subscrip-
tons made.
The money expended in purchasing
the chairs is more than 1000 chairs
would have cost such as was contemplate
ed by the agreement. This ought to be
deemed sufficient performance as to
the chairs. ...-.. .."...

In to-day's paper will be found the
report of Civil Engineer Loweth, of st.
Paul, upon the system.of sewerage for
Mankato. Mr.. Loweth was engaged by
the city council over year ago, and at
cost of 800, TO survey the city, make
a draft Of the streets, etc, and give his
finding in report to the council. This
paper is replete and comprehensive.
Even should our city fail to adopt the
means and measures recommended by
Mr.. Loweth, the information contained
in his document is worth all the money
that has been expended on the work.
We urge our readers to peruse this re-
port in its entirety, believing that edu-
cation and agitation upon the impor-
lance of sewerage will materially aid us
in doing something in this direction
without much greater delay.
