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. Tlie next and last meeting
of the year will be held on the 21st

dependence." Geo. Addy upholds
