DONATIONS TO THE HIgToRIoAL so0IETY.
During the absence Of the genius who had
charge of the historical matter of the very
valuable local department of the LEADER, we,
his successor pro tenn, have been quite over
whelmed With additional donations to that
very useful Institution, the Cleveland His
tOrical Society.
The worthy President, Mr.. W. Wareman,
is now absent in the cityof the Knickerbock-
ers, searching for relics to add to the already
extensive collection of the Society. He ex-
poets to bring back with him a relic of the
past which he has not seen since he departed
for "Hold Hingland," namely: good
health.
Our Historian has departed for parts IN
known, but we presume he will return with
an unequalled collection of curiOsities, facts,

the stock belonging to the Society.
