The lyceum at Union hall Saturday even
ing was well attended, and the debate, as
to the respective advantages of learning
from observation and study was well sus-
tanned. A paper was read which had the
usual variety of contributed matter, clip
pings, local hits, etc. 1t has been suggest
ell that the program be varied occasionally
by the substitution of an address for the
paper.
Apprecative comments are heard from
many who frequent Union hall in regard
to the new gallery door which is kept lock-
ed, therefore insuring a more quiet audi
ence as well as one which seems larger
than when distributed as formerly. Also,
the door of itself is well worth observation.

brOideres done in our grandmothers' young

the thigh and the foot of the other leg. He
was carried home and medical aid called,
but he died in two hours from the shock
Willie was the third son of Geo. n. Reed,

in doing so.
