Rarely has an audience in this city
been favored with more deeply interest
ing lecture, or one claiming such marked
attention, as that delivered few even
ings since by Rev. W. W. Miner, D. D.,
of Trenton, his theme being, Personal
Recollections of Abraham Lincoln" For
eight years near neighbor and personal
friend of the lamented President, the
speakers retrospect of the home and
public life, character and ultimate death
of Mr.. Lincoln, embodied a degree of
originality, freshness and pathos, exceed
ingly impressive, able and instructive.
The many noble traits and virtues Of the
martyred President, recorded on history's
page, and familiar and cherished by all,
were fully Endorsed by the DIR. and based
upon his intimate relations with the
deceased, Itmay not be generally known
that the pension CT SIS, 900 recently grant
ed to the widow of President Licoln BY
Congress, and which she drew from the
Pension Agent at Washington on the
18th of this month, was secured to her
principally through the fundamentally
of DR.. Miner. Should he visit your town
we most heartily commend his lecture to
your good people.
Young Drew Jones of this city, return
ed home few days since after his first
eight months experience in railroading.
DESTROYS of employment, and with fine
physique, Drew accepted the novel posi-
ton Ito him) as a topographer on the,
to be, Pittsburg and Rochester Railroad,
as one of the pioneer corps in effecting the
preliminary survey Of this new road. His
work was arduous, and living more a
matter Of conjecture at times, than he has
ever been accustomed to. Bound, how
ever, to succeed, he..has shown a spirit
worthy of imitation, having passed
through severe ordeal with credit to
himself, he has now opportunities fol-
advancing in the line Of his profession.
We wish him that success his energy d
richly entitled to. ~

Law and your neishbor with You. II will
be rare treat.
