THERE was a respectable turnout
to hear the elocutionists, Prof.
llamill, of Chicago, ana Mrs.
Pitcher wife of the new NJ. E. pas
tor of this city, at the City Hall
last Monday evening, but not as
many AS the merits of the entertain
ment deserved. Prof. llamill is a
man of world wide reputation, and
rs a teacher and reader stand ',old-
ly to the front; but as 10 which
gave the better satisfaction can
scarcely be formed from freely
floating opinions. Unquestionably
Mrs. Pitcher far excelled expecta-
tons, her humorous, pathetic aud
tragic readings being regarded as
altogether the grandest ever rem
dered IN this city by any lady, and
there Is an mmistakable pride yisi-
bic among all who were present
that we have such talent in our
midst. Prof. lIamil sustained his
reputation well. The band was
present and rendered few choice
selections, The whole was n sue
cess, perfect; aud those who failed
to attend missed rare literary
feast.

N. X. VanMatre, the Poled Angus
by j. c. Kirkpatrick, and the Short

purposes.

Place Like Home" The paper met
with hearty approval.
The "Farmer's Garden" was bur
lesqued by DR.. Vivian. What gar
den there was the wife should be
credited with, and what weeds the

Hon. j. w. Rewey's remarks on
assessment aud taxation were pre-.
senled in strong light showing
that the farmer was bearing The
burden, which met with criticisms
and disputes, making it a remark
ably interesting exercise.
Further comment on papers must
be laid over. No small feature of
the institute was the musical pro-
gramme. Choice vocal aud instru-
mental selections were interspersed
throughout the whole proceedings,
under the direction of Mr.. J. p.
Hankins and Miss Amy Hutchison.
One attractive feature, almost last,
but far from least, was the readings
of Mrs. Pitcher, during the evening
of the last day.

Indications That Russia VIII Gain Her

Boston, Nov BE. A. Perry cables to
The Herald from London that the recall of
kaulbars from Bulgaria signifies, not re
treat, but rupture by Russia. He says:
Few anticipate interference by the pow
ers as long aS Russia does not proceed to open
violence. The situation is thus summed up by
IA distinguished diplomat: Austria will not
interfere alone If, however, she takes the
aggressive, England will join her, and Rus
STA and France will naturally become allies.
This would force Germany ont of neutrality,
then Italy would take hand against Rus
,ia. and she would very likely turn the scale
What Turkey would do nobody can predict
general European war under these circum-
stances would end in congress, and that
would come to compromise, which would
amount to nothing 4 compromise might
be reached to satisfy England, Rus
STA and Turkey by settling the
Turkish question. but not Italy which woul1
