Cadwell gave lectures in ‘ Bender’s opera house on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, his subject being mesmerism or hyptonism. There was a poor attendance each evening and the professor had considerable difficulty in creating an interest here in the wonderful subjeet of mesmerism. But he is undoubtedly a truly scientific man and a mesmerist of considerable power. He is highly spoken of by the press of the towns and -cities where he has given exhibitions.

For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidently spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief.

The hours were pleasantly passed in various games, which finally ended up in a neat little dance. During the evening the ladies selected their partners and escorted them to Kern’s restaurant where they were served with oysters, the ladies paying for the same. They also set up the cigars to the boys inthe most approved fashion. In fact, the ladies met the | indications in a very creditable man- | ner, and the event was a success in | every particular.
