The fifth lecture of the Susquehanna Colle

evening May 3, by the Rev. C. n. WRIGHT.
The subject of the lecture was "CHARLES

fluences which moulded his character were
admirably portrayed. The lecturer very elo
quently told us of SUMNER, the reformer,
the statesman, the martyr and ot his place
in history. AM who heard this able and in
teresting lecture were highly entertained,

HALF A CENTURY AGO.—L. 11. SCOTT has
handed us a copy of The Bradford Settler,
'• printed and published by 11. A. KERR, at
Towanda, Bradford county, Penn.," dated
February 10, 1831. The sheet is a trifle larger
than the REVIEW, and although tiic paper is
of inferior quality and faded, the ink is still
jet black, showing that a good quality of
printer's ink was made and used fifty years
ago. The first page is filled up with articles
on the " Indian question," and certain laws
before the legislature, with one short adver
tisement, that of JOHN E. GElGEß,gunsmith,
father and predecessor in business of our
valued townsman J. V. GEIGER. The latest
news is dated New York, Jan. 31, two weeks
before publication. Now we can got nous
from all parts of the civilized world, and
have it printed in less than two hours.
