Michigan Central and Great Western
Rvs Pullman Sleeping Cars

A statement is going the rounds Of thepress
to the effect that the Michigan Central and
Great Western Railways are gradually with
drawing the celebrated Pullman Palace Sleep
ing Cars from and to Rochester, their terni-
nus for many years, and that from and after
Oct LIST, next, they will only run from and
to Suspension Bridge.
This statement IS incorrect, and the public
who have so literally patronized this line for
many years, are respectfully informed that
no change Is contemplated in the arrange
ment Of the Pullman Cars, and that they will
run to and from Rochester as heretofore, and
further, that whatever may be said or pub
Ished by rival routes to the contrary, 1T IL
th- intention Of the management to maintain
the popularity and comfort by which thu
line he's acquired its title to :" the favorite
route"

Mas LiNcoLN When the court chronicler
comes to write the history of our county court,
his eye will rest with sadness on the proceed
iDgs If Wednesday last as he will have to
record that on that day Mrs. Mary Lincoln,
wife OF the late Abraham Lincoln, Ex-Pres
OF the United States, was brought into court
on warrant and venire, to try the question
Of heI sanity, before Judge Wallace. A jury
composed Of DR.. ). q. Blake, g. r. Farwell,
G.. NJ Henderson, S NJ Moore, L. j. Gage
H. c. Durand, ;. h. Parkhurst, William
Stewart, u. X. Cameron, j. A. Mason, J.
McGregor Adams and Thomas Coggswell /,
were empanelled, and the sad trial Of Mrs.
Lincoln was commenced. Several witnesses,
among who was her son, Robert T. Lincolr,
were examined, who testified to the very
singular and extraordinary conduct Of the
unfortunate lady, which caused the most in
tense anxiety among her most intimate and
personal friends for her own safety. The
| jury after hearing the evidence, retired, and
IN short time returned the following yer
dict
We, the undersigned. jurors IN the case Of
Mary Lincoln, alleged to be insane, having
heard the evidence in the case, are satisfied
that the said Mary Lincoln is insane, and Ii

After the verdict was rendered, Mrs. Lin
coin was removed to the Grand Pacific Hotel
from whence she was taken to Bellviev
Place, Batavia, Ill, superintendent by DIR
r. j. Patterson. There can be little doub
but that Mrs. Lincoln has been laboring un
der an alteration of mind ever since tn
death Of her husband, as her extraordinar,
conduct cannot be explained in any Othe
way. Occupying the position she did

The CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. A circular
issued by the Secretary of the State Centen-
NAL Board to the sgriculturists. manufactur-
crs, and scientists Of Illinois. directing then
attention t. the exposition next year in Phil
adelphia, and the necessity of sending in ap-
plications in time if space Is desired, says:
Your particular attention is called to the
fact that it is highly important that this
Board be notified at the earliest possible time
bv all who desire space in which to exhibit
works Of art, inventions, manufactured arti-
cles products Of the NINE, quarry, or soil, Of
the character of the article, space required,

Director General.
Illinois has within her territory almost uu-
limited resources. With soil and climate
capable Of growing all the products Of the
Temperate Zone with vast deposits of coal
and mineral wealth with scientific inventors
and skilled artisans, the Prairie State has
every e. sential requisite to render her depart
ment attractive and creditable. Upon YOU,
however, rests the responsibility and labor
necessary to make a proper exhibit in this
International Exhibition, where the products
of your soil mines, workshops, and studios
may be examined by the representative peo-
pie Of the civilized world, and whereby our
state may invite the capital Of other nations
to and in the development Of your industries.
We close our appeal with an earnest re-
quest that you promptly forward brief de
scription Of the articles you wish to exhibit,
and application for space-blanks for which
can be had, on application, by mail or other
wise. from the Secretary Of this Board who
will promptly and cheerfully forward all
papers asked for, and answer all questions
relating u the International Exposition.
