Col. Bain's Lecture.

Col. Bain's Lecture.
Col. George W Balm gave the first
of the series of lectures to be had dur
ing the Teachers Institute, Mt the
Opera House last week Owing to
several counter attractions quite a
number who otherwise would have en-
joyed the evening were deferred from
being in attendance, and in consequence
the crowd that greeted him was not
what it should have been That even
ing was the regular meeting night OF
the Elks Lodge and several limitations
being on hand, peremptory order had
been issued that all of the members
must be present; the Retail Clerks
Association also held an important
meeting to complete arrangements for
their 4th of July attraction, and there
was q large dance at the Bethel
House. and late afternoon reception
among the ladies' aud these several at
fractions prevented many from attend
ing, who not only had desire to hear
the lecture, but had an interest in the
success Of the course. Col Balm was
happily introduced to his audience by
j. H. Dining, Esq, in "a few we'll
chosen words. Owing to his recent
indisposition, from which he had not
fully recovered, Col Balm was hardly
able to pull through the evening, and
his voice was quite disappointing to
his hearers, the usual clear ring Of his
tones being absent. However his sub
ject Among the Masses, or Traits of
Character" - was made the ground
work for many beautiful and eloquent
expressions of thought, aud the au-
dience showed its appreciation by APP
plauding him literally throughout.
