AS IT THEN WAS.
In that row OF dwellings on the OPP
pogite side Of the street, in one OF
which ] am now a guest, lived at that
time the first three lawyers OF Ohio,
Thomas Ewing, Henry Stanberry and
Hacking Hunter. / wildly recall
their persons and their Pc
culiaritles. Shortly before that
time there had come home from
West Point tall and very slender
young man, straight a. an arrow, with
n sharp face aud "A full suit Of red hair.
HIS NAME WAS SHERMAN,
and lac had In his pocket an order 10

Cheers. At that time this town
seemed TO my boyish vision
to be the center of the
universe, aud my idea was that
the world was under deep obligations
for being permitted to revolve around
Lancaster Laughter aud cheers
recall these scenes, recall my early
attachment and love for this town and
for the near kindred and the dear
friends that were In IL, some of whom
