Hon. Daniel Dougherty. Of New York,
The silver Tongued Orator, has long en-
joyed a National reputation as a lecturer.
As a pleasing and eloquent speaker, he has
probably few equals, and certainly no supe-

~ says We know Of no more striking IL
lustrasion Of the eternal fitness Of things,
than the choice Of such = subject by such a
man. Mr.. Dougherty ~eloquence has all The
force and visidness Of dramatic representa-
non. Extended comment, however. is.en-
iirely unnecessary. inAsmuch as all lecture
going people know enough Of the nameand
the fame Of this gifted orator to expect a
great, grand lecture. They witl not be dis
appointed.

A Fact-That potatoes feed through the
vines has been proved since Paris green and
plaster have been LITERALLY used TO kill the
potato beetle. Since the advent Of the beetle
the average yield has been much greater.
The reason IS plain the vines take up the
plaster and transmit its fertiiizing influence
to the tuber and a larger yield IS the result.
our farmers would do well TO remember this
and they will not destroy the bugs in any
other way thar with plaster and Paris green.

The first lecturer OF the course, Rev. Geo.
Thomas bowling, d. D., halls from Cieve-
land, Ohio, and has long enjoyed a reputa-
ton as a public speaker that rapidly outgrew
the limits of the Buckeye STATE. HE'S, with
possibly one OF two exceptions. the most
popular lecturer appearing under the man
agement of the famous Redpath Lyceum Blu
reau, who have received the most fattering
Communications Of his success wherever he
has appeared. Rev. Bowling has occupied
the pulpit Of Cles Gland foremost Baptist
church for 4 period of twelve years, and Is
said to be an orator of great magnetism,
sometimes moving his audience to tears by
his touching psthos, and again CONFUSING
them with Laughter at his wit, thus showing
that he possesses that power over an audi
ence that few speakers possess. Rev. Dow
ling will speak of" The Good Old Times.
and all can rest assured that his discourse
will be both eloquent and fascinating. He
has delivered this lecture q number Of times
this season before teachers institutes in
Pennsylvania, and ali the reports we have
yet seen award him the first place in the
course.

Is evident from the large audiences that al

its that follow their every number. The

for BY the fact that the younger performers,

makes a distinction that might well have
been drawn ON former occasions. And when
