The local postmaster has received
a warning from the Postal Depart
ment, to be on the lookout for an
alleged swindler, named Cohen,
who has practised frauds by means
of money orders. His plan is to go
to a small post office and purchase
a money order for a sum less than a
dollar. Frequently the postmasters
forget to mark over the dollar mark
and Cohen takes advantage of this
to insert sums up to $40. He then
visits a store, makes a purchase
and tenders the order in payment,
receiving the change.

The lecture delivered last Thurs
dav cveniusr by Mr. Howell of
Scranton, at the Normal Auditor
ium, called forth a storm of indig
nation, and he is fortunate that he
escaped being hissed off the stage
His subject was Abranam l,m
coin," but he took occasion to criti
cise Gen. Geo B. McClellan very
severely, calling him a coward and
otherwise alludiuir to him in terms
that aroused the ire of a large
number of people in the audience
Mr. Howell was not on the regular
course of Institute lectures, but was
put on for Thursday evening be
cause there was nothing else ou
hand, and he was permitted to fill
in the time for want of something
better. , It is due to Surrt. Miller to
say that he was not acquainted with
Mr. Howell's lecture, and if he had
been, Mr. Howell would not have
had an opportunity to deliver it.
The memory of Abraham Lincoln
needs no defender in these days,
and much less does it need to be de
fended by an attempt to detract from
the character and services of anoth
er who figured so prominently in
the events of those stirring times.
If Mr. Howell will only come back
here and deliver that lecture at a
time when eggs are plentiful and in
a thoroughly ripened condition, he
will probably have an interesting
time.
