Ltneoln.-We clip the following from the
Lincoln Herald Eighteen months ago the site
now occupied by our village was one vast corn
teld. Eleven months ago the building of a viii
lsge was projected. Ten months ago the laying
out of streets and pls tin1 OFT OF shade trees
commenced. Nine mo t1s ago the forthcoming
our departed President. Eight months ago the
first blow was struck on the first building Six
months ago "the natives were astonished" at
the rapid completion OF several handsome New
England cottages and III cir immediate occupa-
ton by live and industrious Yankees. Five
months ago the Lincoln Herald made it's ap-
pearance. Of the progress of the place at a
later date 1t wonld be useless to enter into de-
tall settlers are constantly arriving from North,
nj hui M aft hui I'M
purchases of lots TOR the purpose of erecting
buildings are getting TO be every day occur
rences, and no longer excite any surprise. OLD
fogies, who go to mill with corn in one end OF
the bag and stone aud jug 10 the other, begin
to wonder at the prgress OF place where the
corner stone was not laid by their Rrandfathers
In word, the settlement of Lincoln is II sue
cess-a grand success. The period of doubt
has passed; it is now the most beautiful village
on this peninsula. We don'l desire to conceal
the fact that we are proud Of the citizens OF
the place, and believe that any place will sue
coed and go ahead settled by population
possessing the same moral and intellectual
worth as the citizens of Lincoln To those who
wish to select homo in a mild climate in a
beautiful location, amidst al intelligent and
thriving population, we would recommend that
they come to Lincoln.
Lectae.-Mrs. r. E. W. Harper, a colored
lady of Boston, Mass, will lecture in the Odd
Fellows Hall, on tomorrow (fussday) even.
| ing, commencing at I O'Clock, on the INA
| tons Great Opportunity" She is spoken Of
by the Press as quite an able lecturer, rark-
ing with Hiss Dickinson and other ladies of
talent. The tickets for adults are % cents
| for children Is. The Worcester Transcript in
speaking Of her, says: "She received the
closest attention, and the hearty and frequent
| applause proved hec thoroughly appreciated
| she 10 certainly gifted with the power of ora
| tory. Several critics pronounced her equal to
| Miss Dickinson, while some give her credit
iUr even greater merit, when it comes to
speaking upon the highest moral and spirtua
plane. She has less force, perhaps, 10 depic
ting battle scene, but In discr ibinK thos
trials which only her race have endured, sh
is unequaled."
