THE EXHIBITIONS.—The Annual Spring Exhibitions of the Calliopean and Lyceum Societies of Wabash College, were given at Center Church, on Thursday and Friday evenings of last week. The weather was unfavorable, but it did not prevent the assembling of large crowds on both evenings. Although these Society Exhibitions arc wanting in the interest that attaches to strictly contest exhibitions, from the fact that simple membership, and not excellence, is the only qualification required, they are looked forward to, nevertheless, by the students, as a sort of test of the standing of the two Societies at the particular time. The following is the programme of the Calliopean: Education, C. H. Little One ofthe Adamses, Alf. Moore Food and Growth, Clias. W. Rice: Elements of Leadership, Chas. Gronendvke Popularization, Eugene R. Mills Romanism: Is there Danger? The. F. Daggy.

Mr. Little argued for an education of the heart and the body, to accompany that of the mind. He neither made any display of fine words, nor advanced any fanciful theories, but deserves credit for speaking only of his subject.

Mr. Moore could do little more than repeat what lias already been said in referencc to Samuel Adams. His ."style was lively, however, and it is not. likely that his hearers were sorry he was speaking.

Mr. Rice'soration'was an illustration of his subject, as a growth which study, the best of food, will produce.

Mr. Groencndyke's ideas of the elements ofleadership were line, but his oration was weakened by the prol'useness of his style, and the number of tine distinctions made between qualities not essentially different.

Mr. Mills, in an unnecessarily solemn style, presented a comprehensive view of the gradual spread of intelligence, and the consequent approach to equality in powers and privileges among the people.

Mr. Daggy's speech on Romanism was an exception to the general rule. There is no more universal, though there may be some less creditable, spirit throughout the Protestant Colleges of the United States than that of hostility to Roman CatholicismThis hostility is natural out-growth of Protestant institutions. It is fed by Protestant libraries and by the moral, and religious text books of Protestant Colleges/ Protestant students are taught to hate Romanism as the worst enemy of human liberty, and, as a substitute for Christianity, little better than Idolatry. Under these circumstances, it is not strange that both College students and others often make some very foolish attacks upon Romanism, and support them with more foolish arguments. Neither is it strange thai these attacks only serve to strengthen the institution against which they are directed. But Mr. Daggy's oration was not a senseless attack upon Romanism itself, but an attack upon the means by which its influence is becoming more universal. The evils of Romanism were accepted as a matter of fact, and the only question was how to prevent its spread. From Mr. Daggy's stand-point his oration was unquestionably a good one, for he dealt with facts and figures which none could dispute. But we suspect more than one of his hearers were ready to say, at the conclusion of his speech, "Well, granted. But what then'r"

The following is the programme of the Lyceum: Henry Clay, Sam. L.Ensminger Trial, Matt. L. Haines Practicality of Latin, John P. Mills Genius, Brainard F. Smith To the Point, Jacob Norris Compensation, Ed. Scholield.

Mr. Ensminger's oration was much such as Mr. Moore's. 3Ir. Haines, with a splendid voice, and in a well-written oration, went over the trround which is almost covered by the old proverb' "Necessity is the mother of invention."

Mr. Mills supported the study of Latin very creditably. His arguments, characterized by an occasional good pirn, and an excusable levity.of style, though not convincing to every mind, were well worthy of consideration.

Mr. Smith's oration was well written, and sounded well, but it lacked the central idea necessary to make a vivid or lasting impression on the mind.

Mr. Norris undertook a delicate and difficult task by attempting to describe the process by which a speaker may accomplish his object. His own speech, however, original and "to the point," was sufficient evidence that he understood what he was talking about.

Mr. Schofieid spoiled the eflect of a good speech on the laws of supply and demand, by his monotonous delivery.

The music, furnished by Messrs. Rite, Tuttlc and Gronendyke, and the two Campbells, was in keeping with the best part of the performances.

A NEW Anna Dickinson has arisen in Crawfordsville, Ind., whose name is Mary Hannah Krout, aged 17. She lectured the other evening on "Woman and Progress," and astonished her hearers by her strong logic.— Chicago Agitator.

Miss Krout is one ofthe "coming women" ofthe country. She has talents and genius which but few persons have the good fortune to possess. We predict for her a brilliant future in any field in which she may be called to work. God help her to become a useful woman—practically as well as theoretically.

How many people were prevented from attending Church last Sunday on account of tbe almost impassable condition of our sidewalks. Our city fathers will have much to account for if they allow the ways to the sanctuary to become obstructed so as to keep the people away from Church, fhey have a terrible account to give.

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: APRIL 1,1869.

Mres DICKINSON'S LECTURE.—A large crowd, including delegations from Grcencastle, Lafayette and Jamestown, listened to Anna Dickinson's lecture, at Center Church, last Monday evening. So much had been said of the lecturer that expectation ran high as to the merits of the lecture, and a disappointment would not have been surprising. But the lecturer has sufficient assurance of the success of her effort, if indeed she needs any such assurance, in the fact that the some audience that has gone away disappointed from the lectures of some of the most distinguished and widely known persons, including Olive Logan, during th» past two years, left, on Monday evening, with expressions of entire satisfaction.

The subject, was -A Struggle for Life." The lecture, however, was not a recital, on the part of the speaker, of the trials and triumphs which had attended her own life. It embraced the struggles, the temptations and the disadvantages of the female sex and the almost certain disappointment to which the brightest hopes of woman will lead under the present organization of society, which shuts her out from nearly all of the occupations in which she might be able to support herself. She drew :t striking contrast between the facilities alVordedmen and women in seeking independence and wealth. The whole lecture was characterized by an earnestness which could not fail to convince her audience of the sincerity of her belief. The line voice of the speaker added to the charms of a lecture which must be heard before it can be appreciated.

THE ROUTE "WEST.—It has been currently reported, and very generally believed, that the route of the I., C. & D. Railroad west lias been located in the south part of town, "Wc are reliably informed, however, that the report is not true. The location will probably be made within two weeks, and the route adopted will depend upon the liberality ofthe citizens in granting the right of way. Mr. Alexander, Chief Engineer, reports the Franklin street route cry favorable. Some of the citizens on this route, however, as well as on other routes already surveyed, are disposed to claim heavy damages. The universal desire seems to be, to have the road run very closc to "our iroperty," so long as it runs on somebody else's property.

HOUSE BREAKING.—The number'of nocturnal visits paid the citizens of Crawfordsville by "operators" is still on the increase. The premises of Messrs. Lynn and Buck were invaded on Wednesday and Thursday nights of last week, respectively. Little damage was dene, but the action was inexcusable ou any grounds. It is extremely annoying for our good citizens to find the little things about the house disarranged by hungry and ill-bred night prowlers. Money has been scarce and Hour has been high, but labor has never yet failed to return a handsome profit. We would suggest to the hungry, and to those coveting money for its own sake to go to work, lest our officers and courts administer rebuke.

MISS LIZZIE M. BOYNTON, of Crawfordsville, Ind., having lectured ou the subject, "Before Suffrage, What?" received answer the othsr day in shape of an old pair of trowsers, a jacket, and a dull razor.—N. 1'. Independent.

For the satisfaction of the thousands of papers which are. copying the above, Ave will state that the donor in the case at hand repented long ago. At the suggestion of Anna Dickinson, he has been presented with a bib and baby's dress complete, and is now sucking his thumbs in all the innocence of early childhood.

THE WOMEN AROUSED!—The women 6eem to have taken Anna Dickinson's advice, cease theorizing and go to fighting. "She who would be free, herself must strike the blow." They have a petition in circulation which reads as follows: To the Members of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

The undersigned citizens of the State of Indiana, earnestly, but respectfully request that your honorable body propose an amendment to the Constitution of the State, striking out the word "male," wherever it occurs in that instrument

BKLLS.—Any farmer in want of a good cow-bell, suited for a dinner bell, in the absence of a horn a good, healthy sounding bell, suitable for a yearling steer Jr a finetoned bell, adapted to a flock of sheep not exceeding twenty in number, or for a horse, when the lot does not contain more than eight or ten acres, can be supplied by calling upon, or applying by letter, to any member of the serenading party of last Friday night.

THE SIDE WALK QUESTION.—The all absorbing topic a person thinks about while pedestrianizing is our sidewalks. They deserve special notice from us as we have hitherto neglected to say anything cohcerning them. The subject is a deep one, and were we to go to the bottom we doubt whether we would be anything like crushed truth—Would "rise" again."

PROFESSIONAL JURORS.—The Cincinnati National Union devotes a little space to the professional jurors who hover about court rooms as so many vultures about a carcass. The Union epithets them as lazaroni, fungi, scabs, nuisances, human warts and breathing moles. Thus the Union exhausts the vocabulary in painting what, in panel array, we have sometimes imagined a broad burlesque and shameless caricature of Falstaff's regiment. A judge of a court is a slow coach, to say the least of it, who allows his jury boxes to be stuffed with such biped vermin, when lie has the power and authority, in the administration of the laws, to surround himself with the meritorious and the intelligent of the community. It is this evil, and it is a growing one, too, which contributes to the necessity for "vigilance committees."

RAILROAD SPKEI.—The New Albany IT Salem Railroad is said to be tolerably slow. A regiment of soldiers, enlisted for" three years, started from Michigan City to Louisville over that road, and "it is said their term of service expired before they reached the latter city.—J'eru Jiepuhlican.

Wc have since learned that the above is not true. We should like Reed to show his papers for this story.

Township Trustee.

To the Editors (Jrmrfordsville Journal: We have three or four candidates already announced for the office of Township,Trustee. I do not propose to advocate the claims of any of them, but simply to state what claims the citizens of Union Township, both Republican and Democratic, have upon one of them. John II. Coons has held various offices of trust in Montgomery county, has been at the head of our City Schools, and has always shown himself a liberal and progressive citizen, and an incorruptible officer. The citizens of Un^on township have a claim upon these qualities for the office of Township Trustee, and should not forget them at the Convention next Saturday. Mr. Coons can be elected, for he will receive the full Republican vote, and that of many of the best Democrats in addition. S.
