The regular meeting Of the Lyceum, on
Friday evening, was attended by very
large and interested assemblage. The
well arranged program was admirably
carried out and all participating repsived
hearty plaudits for their efforts and sue
cess. One new feature, and causing much
merriment, was the prize awarded Vice
President Wilmer Reed, for the anagram,
the word being "Lyceum." President
Prickett stated that two Of Coopsr'a inter-
estjng works would be presented to the
successful competitor. The committee
after examining some fifteen different
manuscripts announced their decision as
above. Placing carefully wrapped
package on his table, the President spoke
of the merits and popularity of Cooper's
works, and then with some congratulatory
remarks to Mr.. Reed handed him little
child's wooden toy tub, and a wooden
pail. 1t was some minutes before the APP
plause which followed the presentation,
subsidized sufficiently to permit the genial
recipients acknowledgements. Tender
ing his thanks to the Lyceum, and pay
ing just tribute to the dead novelist, and
living Coppers, he said he had no use be
believed, for this special Cooper's work,
exhibiting the tub, and presented 1t to
young Secretary Haines, the second best
competitor. Though accepting it with
thanks, the Secretary reminded the donor,
that perhaps he (Mr. b. would find a
place for it much sooner than himself.
The pail the Vice President reserved for
his own keeping, if only as memento OF
the hilarity Cooper's works occasioned at
the Burlington Lyceum. One person sug-
gested, that Mr.. Reed might show gener-
osity and progressive spirit, by presenting
the pail to the Drainage Commissioners.

A RELIC,

A Relic
Lying unticketed in a miscellaneous
tumble of watches, rings, lockets and trim
kets in the window of s. L. Newberry's
jewelry store in Newark street, Hoboken,
is big and clumsy silver watch, the rims
of whose cases are studded with big gold
knobs. On the back in fine script is this
inscription in French:
"In remembrance Lafayette to his
dear friend Wayne, General of the Fed
eral army, Fredericksburg, Va, June 5,
1871.
"Is that watch one which the Marquis
de Lafayette presented to Mad Anthony
Wayne" was asked of the jeweller.
Tt u.s." he replied. "Gen. Wayne's
daughter Mary, lived with a family
named Coles, in Moorestown, and, dying
there, left the watch. A school teacher
secured it and sold tito me. I have been
offered $40o for it, but think It is worth
more"
