There is a strong movement among the members to make ar- rangements, at as early a day as possible, for the purchase of a suitable lot of ground, and the erection of an orphan asylum. Such an institution is much needed in the city, and it is to be hoped the association will speedily succeed in establishing one.
The present officers are : John F. Zimmer, president; Nicho- laus Brehl, vice-president; John Saile, secretary; Sebastian Veit, treasurer ; Anton Brunel, Frank Wagner, and Valentine Blossauer, relief committee.

corporation, is to engage in gymnastic exercises, and the culti- vation and training of body and mind.
A memorable event in the history of the Columbus Turnverein was the Turnbezirk of the Ohio Valley district, held under its auspices, in this city, on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of August, 1872. The city, on Saturday, the 18th, the first day of the re- union, was arrayed in holiday attire-banners, flags, flowers, and evergreens being intertwined and wreathed in beautiful fes- toons, or suffered to freely wave and float on the passing breeze.
Turner Hall was especially decorated for the occasion. Amid festoons of evergreens, American and German flags, pictures, and shields bearing the coats of arms of the different States of Germany, ornamented the interior of the hall. There were del- egations present from Indianapolis, Dayton, Cincinnati, Hamil- ton, Piqua, Louisville, and other places, numbering several hun- dreds. The hall was brilliantly illuminated on Saturday even- ing, and from it marched a torch-light procession of two or three hundred Turners, through several streets, headed by a band, each man carrying a Chinese lantern.
This gathering being mainly for an exhibition of progress and proficiency in the exercises of the Turner organization, a meet- ing was held at the hall, on Sunday morning, in relation to the contest for prizes on the following day. This meeting was called to order by Charles F. Reis, speaker of the Columbus Turners, and an address of welcome was delivered by Henry Olnhauser, of this city. Committees were appointed to award the prizes in gymnastic and literary exercises. There were literary exercises in the City Park, on Sunday afternoon, and a concert at the City Hall in the evening.
On Monday, there was a procession of Turners and other Ger- man societies of the city from Turner Hall to the City Park, where there was a grand social picnic, and where the contest for prizes in the gymnastic exercises took place. Diplomas and wreaths were awarded to the victors in these contests. Other and varied exercises rendered the occasion one of real and high enjoyment. Balls at Wenger's and Turner Halls crowned the programme.
The present officers of the Columbus Turnverein are : Presi- dent, Charles F. Reis; vice-president, A. Robsaman; treasurer, Conrad Born; teacher, C. Peppler ; secretaries, E. Cramer, and C. Yohnson ; trustees, F. Crum, F. Theobald, and C. H. Campen.
BREWERS' ASSOCIATION .- The organization of brewers of this city, although it originally included non-residents of Columbus, is a branch of the Brewers' Union of the United States, which holds annual meetings in different cities.
