Gordon would lecture in the Normal Auditorium last Saturday evening fill ed the hall with people. None came away disappointed. His lecture was entertaining, instructive, amusing, pathetic, and patriotic. The stage was set with a large flag as a back ground, and when Gen. Gor don and Dr. Welsh entered and took their seats, a chorus of students sang "Tenting tonight on the old Camp Ground" with very pretty effect. In introducing the lecturer Dr. Welsh said that there was a time when it would not have been safe for any one to in troduce a Confederate General to a Bloomsburg audience, but that time was many years ago. Gen. Gordon was greeted with hearty applause, and all through his lecture there was con tinued marks of approbation. What he said we shall not attempt to tell for he talked over two hours, though it did not seem half so long. Many old soldiers were present, and at the close of the lecture, after the audienee arose and sang "America" they went up on the stage and shook hands with him, as did many others of the audience. C. H. Campbell in formed us that he was present in most of the battles to which Gen. Gordon alluded. Gen. Gordon is a prominent man in American history.

Edge, State Secretary of Agriculture, in reply to a question in teference to fence laws in this State, says: "The Act of March 11, 1842, is very clear in its provisions as to maintaining line fences.

Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease the most dangerous form of kidney trouble.
