to dr wadelwards lec tures in the baptist church here you say there are some who doubt his hon esty in being what he claims kow if there be any such yet and no doubt there are they can easily set their s winds at rest on the question by call- tun ins o the bev mr barker who i presume will cheerfully furnish the necessary proofs of identity just what vou mean when you say the dr is not a howling success i do not know if you mean not a success as a howler or loud speaker we agree but it you mean not a success as a lecturer with all due respect for your opinion we disagree though like yourself not falling in with all his views 1 think taking his lectures as a whole they were entertaining and instruct ive and hey were certainly a success as was evinced by the large audiences notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather which greeted him to the close citizen let thk3i alonk to the editor efxvx tkibune dear sir i noticed in the last issue of your paper a set of resolutions purporting to prophesy some legisla tion by our new village council they aro no doubt the handiwork of some wouldbewag but to me they seemed rather impertinent the council is composed of a number of hard working busy men who give up considerable of their time to the transaction of pub lic business and should thorpfore re ceive the support and not the adverse criticism of the public at least beforo they have done something to deserve i myself have occupied positions of responsibility and know that such re marks in a paper having such a wide circulation as the tribune caunot but have an influence in the minds of the public not in the interests of the peace of mind ot the body politic there is one matter however that simplicity touched on in a very humorous way that reallv deserves the attention of the council that is the lighting of our streets surely the men who are tho choice of the people have puph and spirit enough to devise some scheme to relieve the darkness of i moonless starless cloudy nights by a munber of judiciously disposed lamps i commend this subject to the con sideration of your readers and the village council and remain yours darkly consul koukd about us
