From the Sandwich Gazette
Inc Sandwich Lecture Committee through
their Chairman, NJ. b. Castle, recently invited
Horace Greeley To lecture in next winters
course, and received letter, now supposed 10
contain the following, although it bears no
internal evidence OF it:
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, May 9th, 1870.

cimty, Ii | do at all. / cannot promise to

M, B. Castle, Sandwich. H."
Inc above letter was written in a hand
writing that it would be no sin 10 worship, as
there is nothing in earth, sea or heaven Ike
unto It. Several experts tried te read i. with
varying results. Shepard thought it was an
editorial on the Tariff. and the figures 90 in
II referred to the duty on pig iron. Another
thought it had reference to the Mcfarland
trial, but there being no ''swcars" in it, this
idea was exploded Finally Mr.. Castle trans
lated it as follows:
"Derr SRI am available and will come
1t will be $GJ-neXt February 3D. As TO 9TH
or lectures, it seems that must decline, eX-
cept in your immediate yicinity-ii do not
come in Fcbruary-.' The rest OF the let
ter looked as il somebody had smashed bot
tie Of ink on it and tried 70 wipe it up with a
curry-comb. But M c, having read it as an
acceptance, answered:
"SANDwIcn, ILL.,, May 18th, 1870.
"HOracc Greeley. y. !. Tribune:

ton 10 lecture before our association next

gagements in this immediate vicinity If so,

About a week afterwards there came the
following Indignant response very lcgibly
written:

Of the Gre department doubtless nipped q con-
asgration in the bud, rs church, livery stable,
and several cOmbustible buildings are adjacent
to this. The building is owned by Luther Bry-
ant. and occnpicd on first floor by A. ID. Slomsn
dealer in fruits, confectionery, and the upper
floors by Mr.. skillings. sloman's stock was in
surei in the Security Of New York for $1,000;
but there Is little or no loss on that. The Ere
departments Of Biddefori and sseo were prompt
ly on hand. The Bidicforl steamers had sufii-
cient steam on for use, by the time they reached
the Hardy Machine Co.'S works on their way
TO the FIRE. The promptness and efficiency Of
the steamers were remarkable. The span Of
splendid horses just purchased by the city for
Steamer No. 2 attracted much attention. They
are large and powerfully built. An inquiry
has been suggested to US several times in regard
to the steamers: "wOuli il not be good plan

hauled to fires, when snow is on the grUundt''
Sunday, four horses were necessary to haul the
steamers home from the FIRE. The subject de-
serves attention.
