We were recently permitted to read
an interesting letter from Hiram l.. Ir-
win, second son of our esteemed friend,
II. NJ. Irwin, of Franklin, written to his
uncle, Judge Irwin, of this place. The
young man is making rapid progress in
all his studies, and as a violinist stands
at the head of his college, all of which is
very gratifying to the Judge, who, as
Prof Coleman of Titusville, once said,
"has the best knowledge of music and is
the worst performer" of any he'd ever
seen. Hiram was recently elected Pres
ident Of tho PhilO society of his college, |
a rare distinction for so young a student.
He is attending Franklin College at New |
Athens, Ohio.
