DEBATE.—The debate in the Town- ship Ball Saturday evening on Cap- ital Punishmeut, brought out a large crowd. The decision was given to favor of the affirmative although there is no doubt some of the points were missed by the judges on account of the rapidity with which some of the speakers brought them out. It is im- possible for the judges to catch all the points where the speakers talk so fast. It they would be more deliberate in their delivery it would be easier for the judges and better for them- selves. The program was well car. ried out and well received by the audience.
