"One of England's Heroes was the
subject Of an eloquent and most inter
esting lecture, delivered at the First
Congregational Church in this city, on
"Wednesday evening, by Rev. 4. II.
Bradford OF New Jersey. A large and
cultivated audience listened with pro-
found attention, 10 much that was in
teresting in the history Of the great
philanthropisi, John Howard. The
Amphion Club favored and delighted
the audience with musical selection
before the commencement of the lecture

pleasing and eloquent speaker, and will
deliver another lecture at the same
