gentlemen of public spirit have been
making in behalf OF this most important
centre of wholesome influence

could almost have been selected from the
directory by one familiar with Lancaster,
but it does not include all the good names
that would be here had it been found
necessary to increase the amount. Four
of our best-knOwn citizens are down for
five hundred dollars each, and gentleman
of the county, Mr.. Samuel! Miller, who has
shown much interest i'll the association
and whose continued generosity towards
it has been heartily appreciated, cortri-
butes like amount. Our leading bust.
