An exchange gets off the following

don'b know it, and still sou don't tell
us. Now if you-tell us what you know
then we will tell you what we know;
also what you know, then our readers
will know what they know and what
we know, and also what we know tbab
you know we know, you know."
We were chagrlnea to find, 'just

listen to a lecture along the line of
science, so interesting and instructive.
Tp review tbe lecture would be doing Mr. Dinsmore an Injustice as half
of it was his vivid physical and chemical illustrations, which raised some of
tbe ladies from their seats. Had the
opera house been packed we venture
to say all wouia have been perfectly
satisfied.
