The audience was large for the neighborhood and very attentive in its .hearing, Capt.

The Kentland people call him tbt* Krupp gun.” And well they may tor his shots are delivered with telling force and every one goes directly to the fp »t aimed by the speaker. Capt. Johnson speaks at Carwford School House to-night *and at Barkley Center tomorrow night, -Wherever he goes he should have a g*o 1 hearing.
