toYDGE Es ENiNGS.—Oa Friday even
ing, of last week the fourth lecture of the
course was delivered by Mr. Ilehmer, whose
stilijeet as announced was, "The Neglect of
the Presehation of Health by the American
People:" the actual suleject of the remarks
of the speaker was ttehmer himself, and Li,
precious health. The lecturer has groaned so
Lunt; under bodily ailment. tbnt it has at
last bedtime familiar to him; rides it as
his hubby, and may be sail to cry yy p , or
health. Like a sensible man, however, he
makes it his study to ameliorate his suffer
ings, and is wise in his evperienee. His
subject, then, should h ire been "Wats to
the Suffering." Ile is competent to arrange
the matter of I is address of Friday evening,
we imagine, so as to give it coherence and
shape. Carefully digested and prepared,
Mr. Behmer's opinion", which he most ear
nestly expresses, might weigh with his hear
er;, and induca thought on the momentous
question of the preservation of health—the
very object of the lecture. As it was the
title of the lecture was too camprobenii% e,
and Mr. Delmer's matter was too crude : nd
fragmentary to excite interest or carry in
Ile was sound on the pie question
orthodox on pork and anent sauerkraut, and
fairly carried our sync rattly by storm in his
withering denunciation acorn starch—albeit
he only opposed the latter in the form of
supplementary aliment, while we contemn it
77 ,- / - se, (why net corn starch voir ns welt
as disunion per se?) as an insult to the hu
man stomach—yet he failed to present his
subject favorably and impressively. Mr.
Ilehmet is earnest, and earnest in a good
cause, and for the sake of the cause, should,
before advocating it in public, put his argu
ments in the best and most weighty shape.
The vulnerability of the address was,
however, in one point of view an advantage
—it elicited speedy and animated discussion.
Mr. Ihach, Mr. North, Col, Fisher, Mr.
Oberlin and Mr. Cottrell, spoke, mainly dif
fering with the lecturer—one even going so
far as to defend saner kraut. (Not a word
in favor of corn starch, mark that!) Taking
no notes at the time we cannot, after the
lapse of a week, do justice to the the sev
eral speakers, so shall not attempt a con
densation of the remarks.
As the meeting was obout to adjourn Mr.
J. 11. Mifflin requested a few moments de-
My. Ile did nut wish to touch upon the
suliject discussed, but to call attention to a
duty properly devolving upon some of the
members of the body under whose auspices
the Hope Lodge Lectures were conducted.
He referred to the courtesy of making some
apology or explanation to lecturers from
abroad, for or of the empty benches to
which they wore generally called to spook.
Ile then proceeded to give reasons why, on
that particular evening, the audience was
more than usually sparse. As a general
remedy fur the indifference with which the
lectures were received by the public, lie slag.
gestecl the application of the proceeds (am
they could not be an of to Hope Lodge)
to some benevolent purpose—say to the ro
relief of the poor. Ile also temarkel that
whilst the public was certainly amiss in its
supineness, Hnpe Lodge could not be con
sidered blameless. He adverted to the fact
that although that body was considerably
larger numerically than the audience
; present. he could count but few of the
(lope Lodge members among the number
in attendanceon Mr. Behmer's lecture.
Mr. Ibach (Professor B. Frank.,•of the
Male High School,) took up the cudgels for
Hope Lodge, as n Good Templar, not ns a
member of the Lodge, and after expressing
surprise and regret that the body had been
attacked, proceeded to account very satis
factorily for the neglect received by the
"Evenings" nt the hands of the public.—
With moth good taste he attributed it en
tirely to the ignorance of the people of Co
, lumbia—or rather, partially to ignorance,

morality. lie instanced the school houses of

Mr. North rose to defend the good name
of our town nnd people, and administered a'•
verbal correction to the young gentleman
who preceded him, entirely incommensurate.
we thought, with the occasion. Mr. North
should have remembered that B. Frank. is
young nnd, as it were, in his mental blind
puppyhood. The eyes of his understanding
have nut yet opened to the full realization
of his comparative importance in this world.
All he knows does nut yet suffice to teach
him the limit of his knowledge. Ilia judg
ment upon our unfortunate Sodom will
scarcely ohliternte us front the face of the
earth. His attack was a poor and impolitic
defense of Mope LAge, harmless, it is
true, but none the less impertinent. We
thought Mr. North rather hard on the in
temperate -Good Templar.
It may nut be amiss ,to state here that
Mr. Mach, at the last Ilope Lodge Evening,
on his former remarks being brought in
rather mat a propos, we thought, asserted
that a misconstruction had been put upon MR

had our abandoned reputation 'rested on
other foundation.
The Fifth Lecture was dolivered on Thurs
day evening, by Cul. J. W. fisher. Subject;
"The Mutual Relation of Governor and Cit
izens." We must it,gainiiriticize. We will
not find fauld with the 'lecture, as a lecture,
but as a Hope Lodge Lecture. The latter
is, or should be, a 'production szti tjeneris—
z.nstructive, entertaining, open to discussion,
and above all free from the taint of parti
zanship. 'ln the 'latter qualification Cu].
Fisher's address fell below the standard.—
instead or generalizing he brought the lee-
tore down to a political discussion of the
question of the day, which, however able
his handling, was sure to elicit a warm en
counter on points in dispute betw:een the
parties of the country, which, in its turn,
must almost necessarily lead to unpleasant
ness. We have not room to follow the lec
turer in his argument. Apart from the
mistake indicated, the Colonel's address
was creditable to his reputation, and was
attentively listened to by his audience.
Mr. Kauffman opened the discussion, nod
was followed by Rev. Mr. Essick. Mr. Cald-
well succeeded, and Mr. Ibach then took the
floor. Mr. Collins spoke briefly. The dis
cns•icn became general, several gentlemen
speaking more than once. Of course the
opinions espresso,' and the principles ad
vocated mere diametrically opposite. As we
have indicated the political bent of the lec
ture we scarcely need note that the after re
marks were still mere decidedly partisan.

AVOID THE TREE PEDDLER.-K. K. Jones,
Eqry., of the Quincy Herald, thus speaks
under this heading:
We—the agricultural editor—bad intend
ed to have warned,,All our readers to avoid
all tree peddlers as they would the itch, and
were forcibly reminded that the semi annual
infliction of thi+ class of humbugs and swin
dlers was just in season, by one of the tribe
seeking to pass off some of his wares upon
ourself. These fellows are industrious, oily
tongued, plausible, and stick to you like a
tick, and you have either got to give them
an order lor trees or a peremptory one to
leave. They will tell you that Eastern
grown trees are the best for Western soils,
and that they know all about what varieties
are the best adapted to each particular
locality, or nny other falsehood that will aid
them in getting an order for trees.
Well they get an order, we will suppose.
After Mr. Peddler and the men he has em
ployed to perambulate the county get all
the orders they can, away goes the head
peddler to a Rochester or some other East
ern nursery and begins to pack the trees and
plants to fill thorn. We will suppose that
K. K. Jones has been green enough to give
an order fur various kinds of fruit trees and
some of the high priced grape vines, like the
Delaware, Diana, or Concord, the prices of
which are to be from one to two dollars.—
No person can tell one grape vine from
another at one and two years old, when not
in leaf, and nor one in a thousand until it
bears fruit. Mr. Peddler can huy an isa
hello or Catawba vine by the quantity fur
fire cont. 3. t•tilefi teilirt;tion 19 too mull for
the horreety of all such fellows, and the re

selected another sphere of 'action to carry

THURSDAY, JAY. 3 Ist.—The debate in the
Senate will attract marked attention. Its
importance and significance cannot be mis
taken. Mr. Seward, in presenting the me
morial of thirty-eight thousand citizens of
New York in favor of the Border State Com
promise, aceompanied it with remarks that
will meet the approval of every man who
does not desire to press the sectional troub
les of the country to the point of national
disintegration and ruin. lie declared thnt
ho hold himself open to propositions of com
promise, that he believed the Union would
be preserved, and that "all platforms of
"men that stood in the way of its preserve
•Tien would be s wept away." The question
of freedom nr slavery in the Territories he
said had been reduced to a very narrow
compass by the admission of Kansas, Cali
fornia and Oregon, and as in that part of the
Territory which rerniined, over which a
stare code extended, bat twenty-four slaves
had been introduced, he "did not fear slave
aggression" which had accomplished only
that much. Ile was willing to submit the
question to a Convention to be called :m
-ending to the forms of the Constitution,
and "the world would see how thirty-four
"States would peacefully adjust this diffi
"culty." Senator Mason endeavored to dis
sipate the force of the manly and candid
deelarati ns of Mr. Seward, but simply
showed that he belongs to those extremists
who do not wish, and hare determined to
prevent if they can, all possibility of an ad
justment. Mr. Seward replied to him with
all the force of truth that he had "made out
"of a speech pacific, and fraternal, a decla
"ration of war." The debate was contin
ued up to the adjournment of the Senate,
Mr. Diuglas taking an effective part.
In the llou.e Mr. Adam., of Massachn
setts, Republican, made a speech almost as
marked as that of Mr. Seward in the Senate
for its conciliatory and consemtive charac
ter. During the morning hour the House
rejected the Senate amendment to the bill
providing a daily overland mail service.—
The Deficiency bill was considered in Com-
mitteo of the Whole. The House will here
after hold evening sessions for debate
only.
Fmn.tr, Fen. Ist.--In the Senate after
the morning hour, Mr. Latham, of Califor
nia, spoke fur the preserrathp of the Union
and against coercion. Mr. Simmous, from
the Select Committee, reported the tariff
bill, which was made the speci tl order for
Wednesday nest.
In the House Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois. Re
publican, reported a series of propositions
to ho submitted as amendments to the Con•
stitution, for the adjustment of the national
d:ificulties. The plan is a modification of
the Border State resolutions. Mr. Kellogg
asked that they should be printed, and gave
notice that he would offer them as a substi
tute for the resolutions of the Committee of
Thirty-three. The special order coming up,
Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, continued. the de
bate, opposing secession, and declaring the
Southern States had no good cause to detach
themselves from the Government. Mr.
Stokes, of Tennessee, followed on the same
side, declaring that he had taken an oath to
support the Constitution, and he intended
to keep it so long as ho lived. The house
met in the evening again for general
debate.

hill being under consideration, Mr. Pearce,
of Maryland urgel its adoption. Ho dis
claimed the idea that the money was to be
used for war purposes, and said that neither
the government would be sustained nor the
Union restored by force. Mr. Johnson, of
Tennessee, addressed the Sonata, re•assert-
ing his opposition to secession, denouncing
it as a destructive national heresy. The
Presidenttransmitted a communication from
the Governor of Kentucky, covering the
action of that State in favor of the call of a
National Convention, and urging its consid
eration. The Senate passed a resolution
providing for the counting in the usual mode
of the votes fur President and Vice Presi
dent.

not acknowledge their control. When the
people of his district, who elected him as a
Union man, instructed kin% he would resign
his sent, but not his'Union principles. The
Deficiency.bill was acted upon and returned
to the Senate. Mr. Hughes, of Maryland,

authorizing the Postmaster• General to sus
pend the mail service in seceding States un
der certain circuauslaiieln. The bill was
passed—yeas 131, nays 26; some of the
Southern members noting for it on the
ground that it recognized secession.
THAT OLD PARAGRAPH ABOUT CULL—John
Mitchell, writing from Paris, says of the
President's Message:
Three days ago arrived the last message
of the last President (they say) of the
United States. The first thing I looked fur
in it was the well known old paragraph
about buying Cuba. I adjourned all con
sidettaleti of his solemn words about the
dangers of the Union, until I should satisfy
myself that the devoted President was'till
faithful to the Queen of the Antilles. Ills
constancy provokes, among these merry
French, a certain suppressed and respectfol
amusement, for they would not trifle too
cruelly with an old gentleman's chivalrous
passion. They say: So your President has
not awakened to the fact that Cuba is
nnother's. Let him ask O'Donnell for her
at once, and see what answer lie will get.—
But I am happy to find that Mr. 80, hanan,
heedless of the sneers of a cold world, loves
Cuba still. When he dies (and may that
day he far distant), Cuba will be found '
written on his heart, as Calais was upon '
Queen Mary's. Often, in his peaceful re
tirement, as lie looks back upon the sad
events of his term of government, he will
say: "Alt! all would have been well if they
had but given me a hundred millions to buy
Cuba." It is good that he has no wife, or
he would often, groaning out in his uneasy
sleep, awake her with the agonizing cry,
''A hundred milllons for Cuba!"
SALE OF THE ERIE RAILROAD.—The New
York and Erie Railroad was sold on Tues•
day, nt auction for $120,000, and was
bought in by the Trustees. The property is
valued at forty millions. The company will
be forthwith reorganized. Under the new
organization the bonded debt is about $lO,
000,000, the preferred stock about $lO,OOO,
000, and the common stock about $ll,OOO,
000, making an aggregate of about $40,000,
000. The new company will be known as
the Eric Railroad Company. This sale was
in consonance with the interests of all par
ties concerned. It was probably the largest
amount of property ever offered at auction
at one sale.
