"PETROLEUM V. I , .6.88 Y " IN LANCAS
TER : By invitation of the lecture Committee
of one of the churches of this city, Mr. D. R.
Locke, better known as the Postmaster at
"Confederit X Roads," Kentucky, will lecture
in this city, in a few weeks, on the favorite
theme of "Cussed be Canaan," and we have
no doubt will be favored with a large audi
ence. He lectured to crowded houses in the
Western cities and towns last winter, and is
now on a lecturing tour in the Middle and
Eastern States, and is greeted with much en
thusiasm. The Boston Transcript thus notices
his lecture in that city :
" Nasby's bluff humor, keen political per
ception and wit, fertile Invention, with his
indignant rebuke of prejudice and wrong, re
ceived an enthusiastic greeting at the Music
Hall last evening. His lecture, throughout,
sparkled with humorous passages and witty
sayings. Nothing could have been more in
genious than the description of the relations
of that "old navigator," Noah, to humanity
and the race, and the consequences of Noah's
inebriation, upon the political parties of this
country. The theological opinions held at
Confederate Cross Roads respecting the curse,
and which at one time prevailed extensively
at the North, were so ironically presented,
that their absurdity was acknowledged in
continuous peals of laughter. The pniductiou
will add much to Nasby's fame in this section
of the country. Paradoxical or not, Petroleum
itself struck ile last night that flowed smooth
ly all over Music Hall."
DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN HORSE : A
gray mare belonging to Mr. Lewis Sprecher,
of this city, died on Friday at the advanced
ago of thirty-six years. The mare, known as
"Fan," had been in the possession of Mr. S.
for a period of twenty years, she being in her
sixteenth year when be became the owner.
She was a remarkably sagacious animal, and
in her early days a fast trotter, having made
a mile in 2:40. Years ago when Mr. S. was in
the cattle business, she would follow the
drove and keep the cattle from straying as
well as a man. For years past she had been
very little used, occasionally being driven out
in a light wagon. When not iu harness she
had the freedom of the stables and yards con
nected with the Leopard hotel, a halter never
being required for her. Of late years she be
came somewhat exclusive in her notions, and
would not associate with other horses, with
but one exception. When moving around
she took a wide circle to avoid the horses in
the stables or yards. The exception men
tioned is a spirited young mare belonging to
Jonathan Sprecher, for whom she formed a
warm attachment, and the two would fre
quently eat in the same stall together. An
other whim was never to drink the hydrant
water provided in the stables, but when she
wanted a drink she would go to the pump in
the hotel yard, sometimes making conshier
able detours to avoid any horses which may
have been in the yard. "Fan" wasiquite a
favorite in the family, and her death was
greatly regretted.

BE FRIGHTENED: A card
appeared in one of our citypapers the oth
er day, front a certain Sewing Machine Agent,
warning t he public against "Imposition," insin
uating that somebody was trying to impose up
on the people by offering for sale the A. B. Howe
Sewing Machine. That card says the A.B. Howe
Sewing Machine is a "bogus" Howe Machine.
Now, we are no particular advocate for that
nevertheless it is a good machine,
possessing some merit, and not inferior to the
Simon pure Elias Howe, jr., machine, about
which so much blowing is made. A. Howe is
a brotherof itlias Howe, jr., and a tar better me
chanic. lie is at the head of a Company In
Bridgeport, Ct. ' where his machines arc manu
factured and sold. We suppose he has us good
a right to make and sell machines as Elias Howe.
If not, why didn't Elias stop him. lie does nut
preteial to make Elias Howe machines, but sim
ply his own. lie does not claim tot‘counterfeit"
machines. The agent of the Singer Machine in
this city has one of these machines In his office,
where the public are invited to call and see it
along side of the Elias Ilowe machine. Ho has
not, we believe, offered it to any one, nor has
be ever tried to make anybody believe that it
was the Elias Howe, Ir., machine. We strongly
suspect t hat t he gentleman is really afraid some
body will find out that there are other as good
Sewing Machines fu this market as he himself
is selling. Ile must feel very much like the
Ephestans when they cried out "great is mane."
The world is large, and there is room enough
for everybody in it, so we suppose there is room
enough for us to stay in Lancaster the balance
of our lives if we choose to do so. But we shall
not stay here by telling the people that some
body else is dishonest, &c. Let everybody keel)
their own consciences clean and let others live,
is our motto. W. W. lIEARDeLEE,
Agent of the Singer Sewing Machine,
