Smith's subject WAS: "The Relation of the Church to Popular Amusements, Such as the Drama, Card Playing Smith's and Dancing."

Plans of the Purchasers of the Plant for Getting a Good Supply From Winnebago--The Transfer Saturday, The sale of the Oshkosh water works plant to Messrs. Lewis Maxey means better water for this city than it has hitherto been able to obtain. The two gentlemen who became the of the plant Saturday eyening are shrewd business men whose dealings have indicative conservative foreeight which characterizes the monied man of the The gentlemen represent 8 vast amount of accumulated capital in the state of Maine. It was many weeks ago that they obtained 80 option upon the works in this city and commenced that investigation of the water supply possibilities of its betterment which resulted in the sale of Saturday evening.

The terms of the transfer, in brief are these: The new owners assume the bonded indebtedness of $240,000 and purchase the stock, worth originally $160,000, for about fifty cents on the dollar. It had long been the intention of the original owners to take steps toward securing better water for their patrons and with that in view they intended to place powerful pumps in the wells in order to obtain the much needed supply from those sources. The new owners, however, will make extensive improvements than thst. Long before the purchase WAS made, an enginser visited the city, upon their order, and made soundings of Lake Winnebago, for the purpose of discovering, it possible, if it were feasible to extend the intake pipe further out in the lake than it is at present. This pipe now goes only as far a certain ridge of rocks, which has always formed 80 unsurmountable barrier between the shallow waters of the inner bay and the comparatively pure supply further out in the lake.

By these soundings it was secertained that beyond this ridge of rocks there was 8 deep basin, and furthermore the engineer known satisfied that by scientific certain operations to his profession the intake pipe can be carried beyond these rocks. It will therefore be taken far into the lake--probably a mile. Itis expected that this improvement will be made in a short time. MARRIED. -In this city, May at the residence of the bride's par8.
