esq, of the Louisiana (Mo.) Journal, was
an apprentice in Lancaster, Pa, with Jim
my Anderson, the East Feliciana parish
election canvasser, in 1853, and relates the
following Of him in a recent issue of the
Journal

On Monday morning last, when he went
to his work at the Philadelphia North
american office, Mr.. j udereon was notified
that his services as night editor of that pa
