Gen. Shields { ost, &. A. r. furnish, d
the citizens OF Madison a most excellent
entertainment last evening in the
lecture of John w. January. The opera
house was filed and the occasion will be
the remimscence OF "a life time to the
gre ter portion Of the audien @. 70 the
young it was IA lesson in patriotism never
to be forgotten. The speaker himself, in
the Light OF his experience, is "a walking
miracle aud his tale OF bloody battles,
privation, suffering and prison horrors,
gave his hearers a knowledge Of the sac
ritices made inthat memorable war by our
learned before. The light and dark sides
of soldier and prison life were vlvidly
depicted and many OF his pictures OF
| human depravity evoked the swelling
pride OF admiration or brought the sigh
OF genuine sympathy from loyal bosoms.
The surroundings OF the speaker on this
occasion we're in excellent taste. The
stage Was enshrouded in the national
emblems and the pictures OF Washington,
Lincoln and Grant filled the back around.
The three Graces contributed some OF
the old war songs. On the stage with
the speaker were the officers OF the post,
Commander Metcalf who did the hOnors
OF the evening, Messrs. Gilchrlst, Farm
ham and Holdridge. The audience was
en- rapport with the speaker throughout,
and the Post desires to express It's thanks
for the very quiet and orderly manner
in which especially the boys aud girls OF
the audience behaved. Financial the
entertainment was a great success. The
net receipts we're S44.W.
| have just received "a nice lot Of wash
gond.-beauties. Call and SEQ them.
