We are requested to state that Rev. Mr. Oxenhart will deliver a lecture at the congregational Church on Wednesday evening of next week for the benefit of the Soldier’s Aid Society. Mr. O. has recently delivered lectures at several points in Illinois with very flattering success. He is a young man of good address, a very pleasing speaker and is giving his time and talents to the good work without compensation. The charge of admission will be only 10 cents and all the receipts go to the relief of the sick and wounded among the Iowa soldiers. Under these circumstances the house should be crowded.
