LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
Lecture to Young Men.

The Young Mems Christian Association
hall was filled last evening by an audience
composed mainly of very young men.
They came to hear a lecture by DIR. NV.
Lane, of Lodi. on the subject 1.-THE Source

earnest adviser for good with no nostrums

and what he said was known to be true by
every man present, and was such as every
father ought TO say to his sons
