Hon John II. Littlefield will deliver a
lecture in the First Congregational church |
on Thursday evening, January %, on
Personal Recollections of Abraham |
Lincoln" This Is the second of a series |
of high class lectures to be given during |
crowded by an appreciative public. A |
nominal admission fee of ten cents will be |
charged to help pay the expenses. Speak
ing of the lecturer an exchange says: |
Assuming the prowd and patronizing man
ner of the Little Giant" Mr. Littlefeld |
delivered portions of his most telling |
speeches and then Transforming himself |
into the long, loose ointed but logical at
titude of the rail splitter" he delivered |
the answers which Lincoln had made to |
those arguments of Judge Douglass. This
was undoubtedly a most interesting por-
ton of the lecture, and the accuracy of his |
verbal portraiture was attested by frequent |
applause from the older portion of the |
audience who had heard the debate in |
Freeport.
The further postponement of the hear
ing on the appointment of permanent re-
ceiver for the New York & New England |
railroad gave the sheriffs and their helpers |
at East Hartford an extension of the dis |
agreeable duty they are performing there. |
