Among Old Friends.
Mr.. John J. Hambright, formerly Of this
city, but for the past sixteen years engaged
in the drug business in Chicago, arrived in
Lancaster yesterday afternoon on brief
visit to his friends and relatives East.
Mr.. Hambright, who is 4 brother of our
well-known townsman Washington F..
Hambright, Pennsylvania railroad ticket
agent, reports things flourishing in the
great Northwestern metropolis, where
during his residence he has thrived so ma
terially, and he mentions with great salts
faction the success that is attending the
fortunes Of all the Lancasterians now en-
gagged in business in that city. They arc
all apparently on the high road of prosper
ity, and while their thoughts frequently
turn with pleasure to their old home in
the East they do not feel any inclina-
tion to sever the ties formed in the
new, where they are progressing 30 salts
factorily. Mr.. Hambright says there is a
great demand for labor in Chicago, with
remunerative compensation, and all
branches of trade are in an encouraging
condition. He proposes, however, to
shortly make a new departure, and to
move still further westward, having COM
pleted arrangements to engage in the
wholesale furniture business with his
brother-in-law in San Francisco. He will
remove thither on the 5th of May, and the
cordial good wishes of his many friends in
this locality, which he has always held
during his residence in Chicago, will at
tend him in his sojourn to the far. off gold
en- shores of the Pacific. Mr.. Hambright
will remain in Lancaster about a week.
