an audience for them 1t is the uni
versal experience that home dramatic
entertainments are much better pat
ronized than are strolling troops, and the
reason is that people are more interested
in seeing the work of those with whom
they are acquainted than in seeing that
of strangers. The same reason would
operate to bring together a good audi
ence to hear a lecture given by some
one with whom we are all acquainted.
We believe that if some organization
in the objects of which all are interest
ed-the Library Association, for exam
pie, or the Relief Association-wOuld
take hold of the matter and secure a
promise from at least half dozen per-
sons for lecture to be delivered some
time during the winter, the result
might be highly profitable to the ex-
chequer Of the said organization while
at the same time furnishing our people
with pleasant and profitable entertain
ment. While We hope all will not
speak at once, We 10 hope that some
one will take up the scheme and push
it through. There is ''good leather"
in it. We mention it thus early in or
der that plenty of time may be given
for thorough canvass of all the pros
and cons.

Quite an exciting scene occurred at
the Institute on Wednesday. Super
intendent Henderson had just an
nounced lecture by President Taylor,
when one of the young students arose
and said, "If there is young lady here
who desires to attend this lecture and
has no escort l should be glad to have
her communicate with me.n There
was dead silence for a moment and
then as if by one impulse every young
lady in the room lifted up her voice
and cried, "Here am /, take me ~
They were 80 prompt and unanimous
about it that the young man tainted
from sheer embarrassment and it was
some time before he-and quiet-could
be re<tored. This may sound like a
"goak" but it isn't; it's an "O'er true
tale" which we tell as it was told to US.

From the Independent: T. s.
Woodwork disposed of one of his
suburban villas to James Cavanaug6
last Friday, for 1875. Mr.. Cavan-
augh will move down from Hansen and

Monday, for Rudolph, where he will
disburse last months wages among his
mill employees.
Two Young ladies of the village
went berrying one day last week and
have not since been seen. When they
did not return at night their rooms
were searched and it was found that
they had taken all their clothing. And
things began to look suspicious; search
was made bnt no trace of the fugiti-
yes could be found. There are various
rumors afoat about the cause of this
sudden step on the part of the girls
but nothing tangible can be obtained.
The affair has created much wonder
ment and set gossiping tongues to
wagging as it was supposed that they
had good homes and were perfectly
satisfied.
Later The girls were found near
Plover and returned to their homes.
