FAREWELL" These were the words Sc
lected by the Rev. H. c. Buckholz
Wednesday at the prayer-meeting SER
vice as the basis of his remarks, which
were most appropriate and earnest
Though it was the farewell address OF
the pastor, it was full Of encourage
ment for the flock that is left for the
time without a shepherd. The congre-
CATION was much moved by the words
of the pastor who for nine years had
spent his energies in the most self
sacrificing labors in Chester. Mr.
Buchholz will leave for Baltimore this
evening. His family will be here a
week longer. I'VE often wonder why
the people of Chester county don't
make some effort to secure the free
rural delivery service in the county
A few routes have been established in
York county and these are to be fol-
lowed by others. The people Of this
county should enjoy some of the bene-
fits of the rural delivery, and we have
reason to believe that If the proper ef-
forts are made we can secure it. Let's
study seriously over the matter. Why
should we be behind the times when
we have the opportunity to improve
the situation?.. Mr.. Monroe Min
ter, of Olive, aged about IS years, call
ed at The Lantern office Tuesday and
gave us a few items from the past.
He. says he is getting lonesome now, as
there are few around him who are in
terested much In the recollections that
chiefly occupy his mind. Messrs. E.
B. Robbins and NJ. M. Jonsey are about
the nearest of the men of his genera
ton, and he does not see them very Of
ten. Mr.. Minter says there is a fine
prospect as yet for abundance Of fruit,
including old-field plums. Mr.. Minter
says, substantially, that he has vest
that can knock the rag off the bush
decorated with Judge Williams old
coat. It is the vest he was married in,
in 1852, and it hasn't all the new worn
off it yet-but he doesn't wear it every
day. He mas another relic that is old
er than his vest. 1t is powder horn
that was carried in the Mexican war
by the late Mr.. VIM. Brown, who gave
it to Mr. Minter. He used it for many
years as hunters horn, and it is now
serving as a dinner horn. AS a result
of it's having been carried, both by the
warrior and the hunter, on the side,
suspended by a strap over the shoul-
der, it is worn through at one place,
where it rested against the body. 1t
is necessary to place hand over this
spot while blowing. 1t is not known,
at least to us, how long it was used as
a powder horn before the Mexican
war. Our old friend told us of a
venerable mule, belonging to Mrs.
