Bros, evangelists.
TIE commissioners meeting last week
fizzled for want of a quorum. Messrs.

sented. Several persons were in waiting
for some time. who had business with
the board. Another meeting is called
for Monday, 10th.
We hope to see crowded house this
evening at Prof. Sprague's lecture on
Milton" Prof. Hyde speaks of it as the
finest lecture he ever listened to. The
size Of the audiences at the former lect-
ures this week las not been creditable to
our city. The attendance at such lectures
is taken to be indicative of our
culture, and so far we have made a
poorer showing then we deserve. Let
Prof. Sprague have u full house.
Last Tuesday We took a trip to Hum
boldt and had the pleasure of attending a
revival meeting at that place conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Treglawny. The school
house was crowded, many haying to
stand during service. That evening six
persons confessed Christ and We under.
stand that during the revivals which have
lasted for some time, a great number
have been brought into the fold. Mr..
Treglawny is doing great work in that
field. He is known far and near as an
able and eloquent speaker. and strangers
come from great distance to hear him
