We have ne letter this week from James
Redpath, who informs US by private note that
he had not time this week to write. Mr. Red
paths has been one of the leading
minds of the nation from the time of
Bleeding Kansas until now, and next week we
intend publishing a sketch of his history, taken
from the February number of Cottage Hearth,

Mr.. Anton Schmitt is getting ready to start
to California next Monday week, taking with
him his daughter, Miss louisa Schmitt. This

the doctor who cures US of bodily ills. Mr.
Cummings persistence has done something
more for Lancaster than to administer to
spiritual wants There is monument on Mon
roe street that will remind US of him long
wears hence Let him know, good people, that
YOU appreciate him and his labors
