COUNCTL poi:47
mon Councils:met statedly in. their Chant- .
ber, City:llol;mi Tuesday evening last.
In Select Council, Mr. Evans, : President
presented a communication from the Mayor
on the subject of further - appropriation to
streets, provision of means for the city's
share of cost of East Ring Street sewer
and the spaciral night police • authorized by
renolution of Councils of the sth September
last. The 'Mayor stated that the police have
been on duty since the 7th of September,
and attributes in a great. measure to the
energy, vigilance and faithfulness of these
officers the general good order and freedom
from violence and offence against the law,
which now' prevail throughout the city.
That should it be the intention of Councils
to continue the night police on duty, it
would be necessary at the present meeting,
either'to make an additional, and indepen
dent apprilpriation for their payment, or
else take the sum in the appropriation bill
for City Watchmen in the winter months,
with the billance remaining for Lamp Light
ers—both amounting to about s'2,ooo—and
iise it for the payment of the night police.
This would be sufficient to keep them on
duty for some two months longer—say un
til the 10th or 12th of Decenffier—after the
present appropriation under which they are
acting, shall have been exhausted. The
communication also covered a proposition
of .. Z. Ringwalt to furnish the city with
the best quality ofthrible distilled coal oil
from Nov. 1, 1805, to Nov. 1, 1555, at one
dollar per gallon, which the Mayor sub
mitted for the action of Councils agreeably
to ordinance.
The communication was read, and, on
motion of Mr. Deaner, the contract to fur
nish coal oil, was awarded to Mr. Ringtvalt
at his proposal. Common Council con
curred.
Touching the other matters of:the corn
muriication, Dr. Carpenter moved that the
Mayor be authorized to borrow Etsoo to pay
the sum due from the city on the contract
for building the East King street sewer,
payable in the fiscal year 180 i; that the
night police now authorlied be continued
until otherwise ordered, and that their com
pensation be taken from the appropriation
provided to pay watchmen during the win
ter months, and any balance remaining for
lamp-lighters, which was agr6ol to. Com
mon Council concurred.
Mr. Deaner presented the monthly state
ment of the City Treasurer and Receiver to
date, showing a balance in the treasury for
city purposes of $15,344.80; for bounty pur
poses, $5,059.77, Nv hich was read. Read in
Common Council.
Mr. Lechler presented a petition with 176
signatures of citizens and others. praying
that the hour of opening the markets in
the city be changed from the present time
L., s:o'elook, A. M.
On 111oth,0 of Dr. Carpenter, it was re
solved that the opening hours ol the market
shall be as From and after the 11th
day of October inst., to the Ist day of April,
ISI;G, inclusive, and from the lot day of Oc
tober to the Ist day of April, (both nicht
sive,) in every year thereafter, to be at eight
o'clock in the morning, and for the remain
der of the year to be at sun rise. Common
Council concurred.
on motion, the consideration of the re
port of the Str . eet Committee, received front
Comihon Counctl and laid on the table in
Select Council at the last meeting, was re-
atui the report, with the resolution
undorsed of Common Council voting $5OO
additional to the appropriation of streets,
was read and amicurred in, after amending
the same by adding the words "that no
money for street putposes shall be paid un
less approved by a majority of the Street
Committee." Common Council joncurred
in the amendment
A petition of John Oster, Sr., for the re
pair of the gutter in front of house in North
Atli!berry street, was read and laid on th
In ('ont»ton Clmncil, Mr. Peoples present
ed a petition for paving of a gutter from St.
oseph's Church in Joseph street, to the
Church Cemetery, which was read, and on
motion of Mr. Morton the Street Committee
were authorized to have the work done
forthwith.
( tinnicil, I }pinions were ex pressed
by several 1110111herti of the inexpediency of
doing, the work in the present season on
account of the limited means on hand for
street purposes, and urged a postponement
of the matter.
Dr. Carpenter favored the prayer of the
petitioners, and trusted it would be grunted ;
from his personal knowledge of the locality,
the work asked for was a necessity which
should be 'attended to without delay. In
accordance with the views 01 some of the
members, he moved to amend the action of
Common Council by adding at the end the
words, "provided a ,tajorily of the Street
Committee shall deem the same expedient,
and direct the execution of the work." The
amendment was agreed to, and the action
of Common Council, as amended, concurred
in. Common Council concurred in the
amendment.

fellow-citizen, Lieut. Col. Henry A. Ham
bright, lith Regiment U. S. Infantry, has
received orders to recruit for his regiment,
the headquarters of which are at present :it

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.—By the new
Schedule, which took effect on Monday, the
2d inst., passengers over the Pennsylvania
It. R. have thead vantage of one traimwest
ward in addition to the trains heretofore run.
The new arrangement will be quite satis
factory to the peopl6 of Lancaster. They
may now leave for Philadelphia by the Erie
Express at 7.52 A. M., amour earlier than
by the Lancaster train, and run through
with only one stoppage—at Downingtown—
arriving at West Philadelphia at half past
10, or two hours in advance of the Lancas
ter train. They may also leave for Harris
burg by the new train at 10.10 A. M„ mak
ing no stoppage a n d :irriviiill--e-t- the State•
Capital an hour and twenty minutes in ad
vance of the Mount Joy Accommodation.
The ears are of the same comfortable and
elegant style as all those used on the great
through trains of the Pennsylvania Rail
road..
Citizens of this highly-favored old town
of Lancaster can now start to Philadelphia
at 4.17, 7.52, 5.55 and 0.50 A. M. ; and 3, 5.10
and 5.35 P. M. Returning, they candeave
Philadelphia at 7.20 and 11.514. M. ; and
2.20, 3.50, 8.20 and 11 P. M. They can also
start to Harrisburg at 1.55, 10.10, 11.15 and
11.20 A. Al. ; and 2.37, 5.53 and 11.33 P. 51.
These arrangments leave us nothing to wish
for in the way of traveling facilities east
ward and westward. We can breakfast at
home, go to Philadelphia and devote five
hours to business or ppasure there, and re
turn in time for tea !
DIED OF 1115 IN.ruams.—Albert Wen
ditz, a young man ii years of age, son of
Mr. Christian Wenditz, of this city, died on
Saturday night last of injuries received at
a bail at Fulton Hall on the night of Sep
tember 28th. It appears that young Wen
ditzqul another young lad, by the name of
Schenck, were having a discussion about a
panic of ten-pins in a corner of the ball
room, during - which Joseph M usketn us, one
of the managers, came up and ordered them
to leave the room, which order they cons
plied with, but returned in a short time.
They were again ordered out - , but on re
fusing to go, young Wenditi vas seized by
Musketnuss, carried to the main entrance
door, and thrust somewhat violently out,
he falling, and his head striking the curb
stone caused a fracture of the skull.
Deputy Coroner Snyder held an inquest this
morning. A yost martens examination was
made by Drs. John L. Atlee, jr., and Wil
liam Compton, who found upon the removal
of a portion of the scalp and skull, that a
small clot of blood had gathered, which
pressed against his brain, causing his death.
The verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts, that Albert Wenditz
came to his death from rough usage at the
. hands of Joseph Musketnuss , on the ocea
.
,sign aboire mentionad.
CnrY Scistoot, BoAnn.--There was a stated

ABOUT S ' TRIKIMO OIL.—We saw a letter
this morning from Ctarington, Jefferson
county, this State, which states that there is a
prospect of the Lancaster and Clarion COM
pany being able to strike oil shortly. They
have bo * red to the depth of 560 feet, and
struck what a committee of gentlemen from
Pit Hole say is oil. The company intend
boring still deeper, and the Superintendent
thinks they will soon get an abundance of
oil. This will be good news -to the stock
holders in this city and vicinity.
It UN A WAY.—A horse attached to a buggy,
and belonging to J. Cadwell, lisq., who was
seated in the buggy at the time with Mr.
Joseph Welehens, being carelessly driven
along Chesumt street, became frightened it
is supposed at the locomotive attached to
the mail train going west, and the hammer
ing in the boiler-shop of Mr. Best, and
dashed off at full speed down North Queen
street, throwing both gentlemen out. le
was caught before going far. Mr. Cadwell
was badly cut about the head, and Mr.
Welchens considerably cut and bruised
about the chest. Dr. Norris, who happen
ed to bit present, dressed up the wounds of
r. Cadwell. The horse was filially quiet
ed down mid taken in charge by Mr. S. Pe
ters, an attache of the Locomotive Works,
and driven home without auy other diffi
culty.
DR.Misitt.Firt IN READlNG.—Theßeading
Thursday contains the fol
lowing .-oinplitnentary notice of a visit of
Dr. :ktishler to that city :
In 'Para.—our old friend B. Misliler,
Esq., proprietor and manufacturer of the
celebrated Mishler's Bitters, was in town
yesterday.
His sale of Bitters throughout the country
is immense, and increasing rapidly. It is
hut a short able since the article has been
tiny introduced in this city and county,
and all who have given it a fair trial pro
nounce it everything that is cl.•aimed for it
by the proprietor. We were present yes
terday-when Mr. Mishler was introduced
to a citizen of this county, who stated that
the use of a bottle by a female or his fanti•
after lunch suffering, imtored--the pa
tient to perfect health.
WE.votEn.—The nights And morn
ings are getting decidedly cool, and give us
a little idea of October weather. Autumn
has already begun to breathe upon us, and
the to•es of the grove and the threat will
soon be putting on their russet and fading
into the „ sere and Incll anti we
shall' soon realize the time and scenes so
beautifully described by the poet :
`• The u u days are route,
The saddest of the year;
Or wailing winds and naked woods
And meadows brown and sere.
" Ileal.ed in the hollOivs of the grove
The withered leaves lie dead ;
They rustle to the eddying gale,
And to ;he rabbits trmd.
"The robin and tln wren have flown,
And from the shrub the jay ;
And front the wood top culls the crow
Through all the gloomy day."
N EE.I NT ABobiTioN LEcrultEns--A
N I'ISAN , • E.—The following timely remarks
from that sterling Democratic sheet, the
Manchester (N. II.) Daily Uniaa, so fully
•necord with our views on one of the most
intolerable nuisances of the present time,
that we freely endorse them, and trust that
our Democratic and conservative friends
will profit by the excellent suggestions
thrown out. In all conscience we have had
enough of these itinerant Abolition lectur
ers, who as our cotetnporary says, have
"contributed largely to the procuring causes
of the late war :•'
Tracellint, Ledurers.—lt is With a party
as with an individual,—if it would secure
the respect of others it must respect itself.
For many years past, a few people of this
qty, partly for personal gain, and partly to
propagate political heresies, have engaged
:eine of the most distinguished buffoons,
'anaties, and lunatics of the country, to en
ertain us with occasional lectures. These
lectures lire elaborately prepared for repeti
tion all over the country, and for the pri
mary purpose of creating a sensation, and
thereby enhancing the author's fame, so,
that Where he gets $.50 per night this year,
he may demand XlOO next year. Working
for pay,
and with a view to an increase of
wages, he is very careful to pander to the
predominant follies and errors of the times;
and thus, in promoting his own good, he is
almost certain to aggravate the evils and
dangers of the public condition.
The principal use of the lecture system
for the past fuw years was to demoralize the
public mind in regard to national politics.
Parker, Phillips, Beecher, and other mad
men of lesser calibre, made annual tours
through the Northern States on a mission
of treason and blood. They knew very
well what they were doing; and the people
were abundantly warned of the tendencies
and purpose of their harangues. Yet they
continued to travel, because men who held
their doctrines in abhorrence, contributed
to their support. We would not deny our
selves the exhilarating luxury of the
draft, though we knew that a hual poison
was mingled with it.
We ought to learn something by experi
ence.
,We know that these itinerant lectur
ers contributed largely to the procuring
causes''of the late terrible win*. Two mil-
lions of premature graves testify against
them ; vet they still travel, with greedy
hand and unblushing cheek.- What new
heresy they will ride, it is impossible to say;
but whatever ec(lentricily, absuftlity or folly
is more prominent than the rest, is certain
to receive the sanction of men whose liveli
hood dep,•nds upon ministering to, rather
than ',Milk ing popular errors.
These 1;1 n haw alWayS NV:trre.l
the Demo, .aic party,and yet,the Democrat
ic party has always given them more or less
suport. It is time to stop. The procession
of venal sensationists, with Gough at its
head and Ben. Butler at its tail is already
announced for the coming season. Let them
come and go; but all conservative men
should have self-respect enough to resist
those impulses of curiosity, which have too
often led them to patronize these moral,*so
cial and political guerrillas. You can put
your quarter to a better use.
A MISTAKEN IDEA.—One of our cotexii
poraries most truthfully remarks that a
popular idea among our people is that all
of their sons should adopt clerkships, and
the adoption of the business of book keep
ing as a means of obtaining their livelihood,
:111(1 every effort is made to give them an
education to that end. So far as the educa
tion of their children ill the science of keep
ing proper accounts is concerned the idea is
a good one, as every young man should
have a sufficient knowledge to manage his
own books, should he ever embark in busi
ness, but to make book keepers and clerks
of all our buys is a grand mistake. Better
place them in a workshop, mill or foundry,
where they can learn independent trades,
which at all times will secure for them em
ployment, and the pecuniary compensation
for which will be at least as much, if not
more, than the business of accounts. We
earnestly advise all parents to teach their
sons trades, no matter what, so that it is
an industrious pursuit, and let us in the
future be spared thepain of seeing so many
stout, able-ITodied young men out of em
ployment, and seeking situations where the
pen can only be used. There is dignity in
labor, and honest trade is the best legacy a
parent can bestow upon his child, for it will
secure his bread where all else may fail.
We base our remarks upon the fact that
nearly one hundred applications from young
men were received by a firm in our city,
who recently advertised in our columns but
twice for an assistant book keeper. This
fact alone taken in connection withthe well
known scarcity of labor in the'mechaniCal
branches of industry, speaks volumes in
condemnation of the popular error of mak
ing book keepers of all our boys.

Gen. 'Robert E. Lee was to day In
stalled President of the Washington
College. There wnkno pomp of parade.
The exercises of installation were the
simplest possible—and exactand barren
compliance with the required formula
of taking the oath bythe new President,
and nothing more. This was in accord
ance with the special request of Gen.
Lee. It was proposed to have the in
stallation take place in the college
chapel, to send invitations farand wide,
to have a band of music to play enliven
ing airs, to have young girls, robed in
white and bearing chaplets of flowers, to
singsongs of welcome; to haVe congrat
ulatory speeches, to make it a grand
holiday. That this proposed programme
was not carried out was a source of
severe disappointment to many. But
General Lee had expressed his wishes
contrary to the choice and determina
tion of the college trustees and the mul
titude, and his wishes were complied
with.
TAE INSTALLATION CEREMONIES
The installation took place at nine A.
M. in a recitation room of the college.
In this room were seated the faculty
and the students, the ministers of the
town churches, a magistrate and the
county clerk, the last twoofficials being
necessary to the ceremonial. General
Lee was inducted into the room by the
Board of Trustees. At hisentrance and
introduction all in the room rose, bowed
and then became seated. Prayer by
Rev. Dr. White, pastor of the Presbyte
rian church, directly followed. To me
it was a noticeable fact, and perhaps
worthy of record, that he prayed for the
President of the United States. Alto
gether it was a most fitting and im
pressive prayer.
J UDGE BROCKE:•IBROUGH'S SPEECH
The prayer ended, Judge Bracken
brough, chairman of the Board of Trus
tees, stated the object of their coming
together, to instal General Lee as Pres
ident of Washhtton College. He felt
the serious dignity of the occasion, but
it was a seriousness and a dignity that
should be mingled with heartful joy
and gladness. Passing a brief eulogy
upon General Lee, and -congratulating
the board and the college, and its pres
ent and future students, on having ob
tained one so loved and great and wor
thy to preside over the college, he said
he could say a great deal more, had it
not been voted against speech making.
During the delivery of these few words
—and they came, despite the prohibito
ry voting, very near culminating to the
dignity of a set as well as eloquent
speech.
GENERAL LEE'S APPEARANCE
General Lee remained standing, his
arms quietly folded and calmly and
steadfastly looking into the eyes of the
speaker. Justice William White, at the
instance of Judge Brockenbrough, now
administered the oath of'office to Gen.
Lee. For the benefit of those curious
to know the nature of this new oath to
which the General has just subscribed,
and as it is brief, I give it entire. It isas
follows:
I do swear that I will, to the best of
wy skill and judgment, faithfully and
truly discharge the duties required of
me by an act entitled " An act for in
corporating the rector and trustees of
Liberty Hall Academy," without favor
affection or partiality. So help me
God.
TILE KEYS GIVEN TO TILE YEW PRESI-
To this oath General Lee at once
affixed his signature, with the accom
panying usual jurat of the swearing
magistrate appended. Those inquisi
tive enough to seek further light than
that revealed in the copied oath can
look at the act therein referred to, and,
when found, make a note of it. The
document in the form stated washanded
to the County Clerk for safe and per
petual custodianship, and at the same
time the keys of the college were given
by the Rector into the keeping of the
new President. A congratulatory shak
ing of hands followed, and wound up
the day's brief but pleasing, impressive
and memorable ceremonial. President
Lee and those of the trustees present
with the faculty now passed into the
room set apart for• the former's use—a
good sized room, newly but very plainly
and tastefully furnished.

General Lee was dressed in a plain
but elegant suit of gray. His appear
ance indicated the enjoyment of good
health—better, I should say, than when
he surrendered its army at Appomattox
Court House, the first and only occasion
before the present of my having seen
him. His looks and bearing have been
often and minutely described, and I
will not dwell upon them here. Most
pictures of him on exhibition come up
to the average of fidelity of this class of
likenesses.
Turn we now from the installation
exercises and our half-way pen and ink
sketch, made thus by public familiarity
with the subject of the new President
elect, to a description of the college over
which he is to preside. It is an old and
venerable and most worthy institution.
It first came into existence in 1774, but
then as Liberty Hall Academy. A
quarter of a century later General Wash
ington transferred to it State stocks to
the amount of fifty thousand dollars,
given him by the State Legislature, at
which time its name was changed to
Washington Academy. In 1813 the
charter was again modified, giving it
the name of Washington College. Very
soon after the Cincinnati Society of
Virginia, donatedsome twenty thousand
dollars, which has since been followed
by a bequest of forty thousand dollars
by John Robinson, a wealthy bachelor.
This constitutes the principal endow
ments of the college. The college build
ings are five in number, in a row, and
built of brick, and from two to four
stories in height. On the central build-
Mg surrounding the cupola is a fine
marble statue of Washington. The
buildings are a light brown color, with
massive white *pillars extending along
the whole front. All the buildings have
been freshly painted outside and inside,
giving the whole a new and neat ap
pearance throughout. The situation is
on a commanding height on one side of
the town, and looking down upon it,
and for beauty and extent of view un
surpassed. The towering heights of
House Mountain and Hog's Back in the
rear present acounterpart view to the
old Duuderberg and Crow's Nest in the
rear of West Point. Then there are the
Green Hills and the Sallings Moun
tains, with the rest, parts of the famous
Blue Ridge so renowned for theirgrand
undulations and the emerald beauty
and richness of their waving woods.
In all its glorious loveliness, as far as
the eye can see, stretches the expansive,
fertile and gorgeously magnificent Kan
awha valley. But I need not dwell on
the scenic beauty. Meantime there
have been a thousand graduates at the
college. Many of these have been dis
tinguished in the professions, in the
world of letters and art, in mechanics
and war.
HUNTER'S RAID AND THE COLLEGE.
General - Hunter's raiding party, or
army rather, that paid this section of
Virginia a visit in June, 1864,
important
grain
addi
tion to the destruction of mportant
grain mills, the Virginia Military In
stitute and other public buildings, man
aged to leave the college disagreeable
tokens of its belligerent advent and
presence. Happily, they burned none
of the buildings, but the books of the
library were nearly all taken away, and
the chemical and philosophical labora
tory completely destroyed. Not satis
fied with this, the invading wearers of
Uncle Samuel's blue walked away with
their pockets full of mineralogical and
geological specimens it .had taken half
a century to collect, and said to be the
finest in the country. The main blame
of all this I however, charged upon
the rebel General McCausland, who,
with fifteen hundred men, had the au
dacity to try to keep Hunter's army of
thirty thousand from entering and tak
ing the town. This General McCaus
land will be remembered as the one
who has since been indicted for setting
fire to Chambersburg, Pa. Although
the shells flew about pretty lively for a
time, none hit any of the college build
ings, although one hit Prof. Campbell's
house near by. It is a singular fact that
this shell passed through the roof and
two floors into the parlor, where it
harmlessly terminated its erratic mis
sion by severing the cord by which was
suspended a likeness of General Wash
ington. The picture fell several feet,
but neither it, the frame nor glass was
in the slightest degree injured. Prof.
Campbell, who told this fact, spoke of

has suffered other losses by the,whole

termediate and natural neglect of its
buildings and grounds. - The college, in
fact, has to begin over again;although,
fortunately, with General Lee at its
head, under auspices bright and encour
aging.
THE PROSPECTS OF THE COLLEGE.
About one hundred students are al
ready on the ground. It is confidently
believed that within a very short time
there will be as many more here. Al
together, the prospects of the college
were never brighter. Professor White
soon starts on a tour to solicit contribu
.tions in its aid. Already the two lit
erary societies—the Graham Philan
thropic Society and the Washington
Literary Society—have taken measures
to make up the losses their libraries sus- I
tained by the invasion of the Yankee
troops. There is the fullest confidence
that the people of the Old Dominion.
and the South generally, will liberally
respond to this call for substantial aid
about to be made- on them. General
Lee's name, of course, will furnish the
staple of appeal, as it now furnishes the
base of bright expectancy. It is not the
first time General Lee has been an in
structor of youth: As commandant at
West Point he had a two year's appren
ticeship, which may now stand him not
only in-good service in his new posi
tion, but furnish special basis of appeal
for pecuniary aid.
GEN. LEE'S FIRST ARRIVAL IN TOWN_
On the 14th of last month Gen. Lee
made his first appearance here. He
came on horseback, alone and unattend
ed, and riding the dark gray horse he
rode most of the time during the war
and at his surrender. A soldier's af
fection he evidently has for this favorite
steed. This horseback ride extended
over a hundred miles from Cumberland
county, where he and his family have
been staying for some time, and where
his family is still sojourning. What
must have been his thoughts on this
ride, and what a theme such a veritable
and distinguished solitary horseman
would have been for novelist James !
It was the intention to open the college
term two weeks ago, when Gen. Lee
first came ; but the backward state or
repairs prevented it. All the trustees,
nineteen in number, were then present,
and postponed the college opening till
to-day. These returned to their homes
again, while Gen. Lee went to Rox
bridge Springs, where he remained till
yesterday.
THE GENERAL ON NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
A gentleman with whom I have con
versed, and who saw General Lee and
heard him talk and express freely his
opinions about national affairs nearly
every day of his sojourn at Roxbridge
Springs, spoke of him as the most mod
est"ancrunassuming man he ever en
countered, and yet, while frank, most
firm in giving his views. He counsels
cheerful submission to the government
and earnest striving to bring about the
old state of peace, industry, thrift and
content. He has the greatest confidence
in President Johnson and the good and
equitable wishes and intentions of the
government and the Northern people
in carrying out the scheme of recon
struction.
L"FCRE RESIDENCE OF UENERAL
A fine two story brick house, with
massive portico and pillars in front and
on the same row with the College build
ings, is to be the future residence of
General Lee. It has a capacious yard,
beautifully shaded with oak, elm and
locust trees, and a fine hedge-row of
cedars. It is a fitting place for scholarly
ease and philosophic contest. At pres
ent the General is stopping at the Lex
ington Hotel in town. It is expected
that he will move with his family into
his new residence about the last of this
month. And here we leave him in his
home that is to be, secluded and'shaded
and hedged about by imposing moun
tains, and miles away from railroads,
and with never a longing thought,
doubtless, for the great outer world and
its more enticing and splendid prizes.
Letter from Alonzo Ward to his Brother.
SHEXILAGO, March 11, 1865.
To the Edytur of The Sunda Times:
4 years ago, while in indianoples, in
jyana, 1 wrote to Mr. Prentiss, of the
Losevill Jurnal, regarding the where
abouts of my brother, Artymis Ward,
off hoom i have not heetd sinst;; he was
a boi,
"And we roamed the fields together,"
happe as a Makeral in Kashmeer Sox.
There were four off us berothers, all
bola. Thee follering is a pedagog of our
famile. Our parents, of which there
was 2, konsisted of our father and
mother, namely : Hanner and Erysipe
las Ward. The latter (my father) was
given hevily to plug tobacker, of which
he chawed incessantly, though boiled
Bakon, clone rair, waz his best holt. He
was a man that could not go long
between drinks; the Kamil did not
predominate in him, and G. Hover took
him at the age of sicksty, and after 3
dais cickness. The followin iz applika
ble to hiz case :
" Oakum ! Oakum!"—S. Spear.
After the old man's tieth, our muthur
was left with the four bois aforsaid,
whizz, namely, i. e.:
Erysipelas, named after father.
Artymis, the Long Lost.
Rodney and my self.
Olonzo, named after Olonzo of pizzar
oneau celebrity.
My eldest berother Ery, went into the
wool business, while Rodney went out
to Orrigonne terrytory and Mbarked in
the Fur traid. Ery did poorly at the
wool, and busted, but Rodney is still in
the Fur, coining money.
Artymis, at the tender age of eleven,
waz suddenly missed from hoam. In
this konnexshun I would remark an old
stocking belougin to my mother, coo,
taining fore dollars in Cilver and fifty
two censt in hopper, disappeared about
the same time. There was a party of
Akrawbats, of double proklivitys, in
our naburlool a few days preevis, and
