E 3R vl &0 ‘ On Wednesday of last week it was ’ apnounced that Billy Baxter was in *fih)(: 'ut\ and wo?u]d deliver a lecture that évening in Mitechell Hall on Temperance. Quitea respectable audience g y lamo hedar mm‘ﬁhw lad to say. I only heard the latter part of his speech, and must say that for people making temperance a hobby, Billy is “some.” But people who are in the ‘habit of easoning on all questions presented to theifi could hot find anything new in his arguments to' place him above the average temperance lecturers. Billy at times grew very elot lisjge Lis 1id e witl age ric@LAßver Ile no COdTse and denunciatory toward the anti-temperance people as some of his co-lecturers; but,l could not otherwise than pity him when he appealed to

whis.audience-bo-fight for the dear Baxter law: that todo this was civilization ‘fighting against barbarity, virtue against vice, cllarﬁty against athejsm, ete. “After Billy had concluded, the hat was pagsed around to raise money enough to pay hall rent and Billy’s exenses; but I rstand not e-npxig g W i quently next morning some of his ad* mirers went around again to gather enough of the nervus rerum to enable ‘Billy to go on his way rejoicing, Mr. F. J. Beck, of Ft. Wayne, has sold the brewery on Bixler' Lake to Messrs. Seiferd & leineke, two enterbrising young yxgg;'who are practical brewers and very industrious.. The consideration, T understand, is $7,500. Mr. J. M. Sticht is about trading off his livery stable, together with all his real estate in this city fora farm somewhere in Cztsé_ county. I hope John ‘wi& vet “hack é)ug’;%m%stzwkamon g us. " The wellthef is' Warfn and dry, and news of general interest non est.

I understand that a caucus of. Liberals and Deniocrats will be held in this city on Saturday next at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, at the oflice of Chas. G Aichele, to elect delegates ‘tlo the At & i i 4 county convention to be held the 12th

of this month at Albion. *lt 'is to be hoped that the Democrats; and Liberals will be Zéberal enough to attend the same liberally in order not to allow Dr. Parker, Chiiﬂoy Aichele, John R.
