ACTON PARK ASSEMBLY.
Lectures Yesterday by Col. J. P. Sanford, of
Iowa, and Gen. Jasper Packard.

The attendance yesterday was slightly larger
than that of the previous day. The rain, though
not by any means sufficient. was sweet boon
to the saints, and matter of much rejoicing.
The lecture at P. NJ. by Col J. p Sanford, OF
Iowa, on Walks in Rome was not only an ex-
cellent description of many interesting things to
be seen in the Eternal City, but still further
rendered appreciative to summerafternoon
audience by humorous and whimsical anecdotes
and stories
Gen. Jaspar Packard spoke at o'clock in the
evening, and his subject Talks on the War;
from Cairo to Corinth, was copiously illustrated
Dy stereopticon views, many of which were ar
tistic and beautiful. The lecturer began with
the bombardment of Fl Sumter and led on to
the great events following it.
With the fall of Donelson, he said, the enc
mics center being burst, the tanks had to give
way. Thus the first step was taken in opening
the Mississippi river. The next fortified places
held by the enemy were Island No. 10 and New
Madrid. Amovement for the reduction of these
places was placed in command of Gen. John
Pope, who, after about month of hard labor by
the troops succeeded in capturing the forts, all
the heavy guns all the paraphernalia of war and
nearly 1000 prisoners. without the loss of man.
Whatever General Pope's record may have been
in the estimation of the people after this event,
this movement of his was one of the most brill
liant of the war. The Mississippi was opened
down to Fort Pillow, and the great point was to
open that river everything being done to that
end.
In abiding to Grant, General Packard said: 81
am to De pardoned for personal word was
under his command every day, directly or indi-
rectly, for more than four years of service. and
followed him with the full confidence and faith
felt in no other commander, great as many of
them were. And as the years passed or, had
for him an admiration IN view of his great serv-
ices to his country which felt for no other
that lived. But the sturdy column is
broken The earth is poorer now and heaven is
richer than it was"

Chinese IN the ayanire Cen Tasnar PockarS
will deliver his lecture, From the Delta to

North Indianapolis

Nathan Carr lives in North Indianapolis and
night before last he sat in the kitchen waiting
his daughters return from Sundayschool fes-
tival. She came in about 1890 o'clock aud at
once went to her room. Within minute or
two she ran to her father with the news that a
man lay in her bed. The father took down his
shotgun, and with its hammers ready for action
and his finger on the trigger he rushed into the
room pointing the muzzle at the bed. It was
dark but the old man cried out with
the firm faith that somebody was there,
Git out of here or will
shoot your head off," At this man arose from
the foot of the bed, with the explanation that
ne was drunk and had made mistake. He
thought, he said, he was in his own house. By
this time the daughter had brought q light and
the features of George Washington Smith. who
recently served a term in the work house for
stealing chickens, were recognized. George in
sisted that as he found the door unlocked be was

been considered an important incidsrtin proving

the restaurant from Mrs. Reed, testified that
on this Saturday, or any other day, they
