helms lecture at LeCla,rc Hall, last evening
for the benefit Of tbs Orphans Hcme, Was
attended BY alarge and intelligent audience,
though the Hall was not 20 crowded ~ it
should have been, when the Orphans cause
Is % intimsbly concerned. This is in .
measure owing to the mulish obstinacy Of
the hide bound Pharises Of the Gazette, who
can never consent 70 do generous action in
behalf of any one-no matter how worthy
-unless the means lines right up to bis ster-
eotyped notions II creed and sccts. How.
ever, the lecture WAS fairly patrooized, and
the Orphans cause we'll assisted.
Mrs. Wclhslm's disquisition Of her subject.
1.-The Philosophy Of Death" was able and
revealed great thought And her plea for the
wives, mothers, and children Of the dead
and disabled soldiers was made with depth
Of feeling and earnestness that could not
fail to have good effect Mrs. W. speaks

coin, with his State Papers: by Henry J.
kAynond.-D Derby l. Miller, Publishers, New
York.
From Mr.. Davies, the enterprising agent
for this work, We have received . vo' 'ume
bearing the above title. The life of Abra-
ham Lincoln has passed into the history Of
our country. and to be in ignorance of any
portion Of it, is to betray . ;ulpable negli
gence or Incidence inexCusable in any one
laying the least pretentions TO being his
torical student. Perhaps no one in our
country is more competent Of handling
such subject than Henry J. Raymond
Having besn connected with the press for
many years, and having . perfect knowl
edge Of the politics Of our country, and es.
pscially Of the events that occurred during
Mr.. Lincoln's presidency, he is enabled to
do justice to oil in satisfactory manner
The volume before US contains SOS pages, is
bound and printed in neat and substantial
style, and is illustrated, with large num-
Der Of engravings representing the most
conspicuous events Of Mr.. Lincoln's life.
ERIE RA,LwAY.-No line Of road entering
New York from the West commands 80
great share Of Western favor as the Erie.
One important reason is that the travelling
public inds broad guaged roads, and broad
guaged cars much more safe and comfort
able than any other-besides the manage
ment Of this line is SO perfect that all its
patrons on the passenger and freight line
can lind ne reason for complaint. Take the
Michigan Central at Chicago, the Great
Western through Canada-then get aboard
the Erie cars, and you have hit the right
route to New York. The coaches are all Of
the latest style-fi.ted for the especial ease
and comfort Of the travellers. Go that
route See advertisement in another
column.
BAR SuppER.-The members Of the Scot,
county Bar tender the Hon. J. Scott Rich
man, Judge af the 7th Judicial District, q
Complimentary Supper at the Burtis House
this evening as slight token Of their high
appreciation Of his merits. 1t will unques-
tionably be an interesting occasion. DR..
Burtis has prepared the banquet in his usual
excellent style.
LIBERAL PArRoNAGE-We learn that
Bryant, Strattor 4 Go. are having over
$4,000 worth OF desks, counters. and other
cabinet appurtenances manufactured in this
city for the Commercial College Of Bryant,
Stratton & Chapman At New Orleans. A
portion Of the order has already oeen filled,
and shipped for it's destination. Such a
liberal expenditure should not 60 unnoticed.
WHEN will the devil plead for the happi-
mes Of saints-when will Belzebub "Dull
the wool" over the angelic eyes !-"QuiLL"
in Gazette.
About the time Russell puts his preach
ing into practice, and voluntarily gives up .
fat cf1icc to soldier.
