Dean Stanley, the Dean of Windsor and
Principal Tulloch, editor of Fra=er's Nag
asine.
Mr.. FRANCIS f. SHREDDER attained his
majority yesterday and the event was duly
celebrated at the residence of his father,
East Orange street, where number of his
young gentlemen friends were handsomely
entertained last evening.
Mr.. STURGEON, who is at MentOne for
the benefit of his health, is said to be in a
PROSTATE condition and unable to write
his customary weekly letter to his London
congregation. He is not likely to resume
his duties in January as intended.
The receipt of numerous papers with
''markcd'' recommendations of the 1ndi-
ana ENGLISH for vice president leads us
to suspect that w. II. e. has established
a literary bureau to keep his boom BOOM
ing.
Senator CHANDLER's will has at last
been discovered among the papers of the
late Judge Edmunds. Of Washington. 1t
has just been admitted to probate. 1t
leaves the senator's property in equal por-
tions to his widow and daughter.
Up in Luzcrne county it is beginning to
be understood that Judge HARDING, who
retired from the bench of the Eleventh dis
trcta few days ago. will he candidate
for the seat in the United States Senate
now filled by Senator Wallace
\ number of members of Congress, in
drawing their monthly pay, protested
against accepting 10 per cent. of their sala-
ries in standard silver dollars, and among
those who thus protested were some who
had been the most pronounced advocates
of the silver dollar.
S. ii. REYNOLDS, esq, .; this city, who
has been for months retained and active in
conducting the Curtin Yocum congress
siOnal contest. will leave Lancaster Oh the
7th inst, for Washington, to engage in
the argument of the contested election be-
fore the congressional committee on cleo
tiOns.
CONKIING had arranged to so to Cuba
Will "Itilt. GiiC III GuC plo-
grammc compelled him to remain in
Washington. When Grant heard of it he
exhibited symptoms Of the liveliest regret
at the circumstance and wrote a letter to
Conkling, saying that if he had known Of
the honor Conkling proposed to 60 him he
should not have changed his original pro
gramme.
Mr.. SEYMOUR ranks to-day as the most
scholarly, the most comprehensive, the
most finished Of living American orators,
on special occasions. He has grown much,
and is far greater man than when he was
governor of this state. SO long rs he re-
mains on the retired list even Republicans
delight to praise him. But we believe
Sanford T.. Church would be stronger
candidate for prcsident-N. T. SIN.
Won't you tell us why?
Mai. GEIEST, of the Lancaster Inquirer,
erstwhilc stout anti-Grant man, politely
informs Don Cameron that his neck is
waiting for the collar to be buckled on.
The Inquirer thinks the work Of the state
committee ''is over and we must make
the most of iG.'' 1t says further, that local
Republican sentiment is divided almost
entirely between Grant and Blaine, with a
preference for Blaine, but ''shOuld either
of these men be the Republican nominee
he would receive the enthusiastic support
and solid vote of the Republicans of Lam
caster county, Griest may plough with
the Cameron heife1, but he will dream of
Congress ''until the long halt cOmcs," and
never get there.
Mrs. HAYEs's attire at the New Year
reception at the White House will be mat
ter Of interest to female readers. Her
dress was of white brocaded satin, wrought
with gold threads. The V-shaped front of
the waist was filled in with lace and her
sleeves were of duchesse lace with cmbroi-
derry of seed pearls. The court train of
satin was long and square ; rose buds were
worked upon it with threads Of gold. The
plain white satin petticoat was trimmed
with bias folds of satin divided by fringe
of gold and pearls. Broad bands of gold
embroidery separated the petticoat from
the court train. In her dark hair she
wore silver comb and On her neck
pendant-a cameo head of her husband set
in diamonds
