These two Organizations will give joint
entertainment, in Odd Fellows Hall this city,
on Easter Monday evening. The entertain
ment viii consist of lecture on The Battle
of Gettysburg by W. L. Seabrook, Esq and
a concert by the Westminster Band. While a
student at Pennsylvania College, from which
institution he was graduated in 1877, Mr..
Seabrook began the preparation of the lecture
which will be delivered for the first time on
this occasion. During the past ten years the
lecture has been rewritten number Of times,
the author having read nearly every published
account Of the engagement, and brought to
the work thorough knowledge Of the field,
besides, by numerous opportunities of inter-
course with those who were actors in the great
battle, having secured much information,
which has never been published.

The value OF tho cry "civil service re-
form" had ceased to be Of any estimation
in the minds OF the leaders OF the Demo-
cratic party. Its canvasses would here

influence of the administration would be
as penetrating as controlling in all the
States, in party management, as II had
ever been in the old palmy days OF Democ-
racy before the war. WELDING and con-
trolling that influence, marking out the
paths OF the party, shaping its course,
breaking down opposition, enforcing disci-
pline, deriding and defying the orders

would be called upon to add his vote to

There was no device, no plan Of campaign

which would not be resorted 10 this year.
