The history of any great and succes ful undertaking is always interesting, therefore at the risk of being accused of violating personal confidence, we tell our readers of the origin of a fam- ous story of the late war The publish. ,ers of the Chicago LEDGER wanted a story which, besides being a love story of great merit should vividly describe the thrilling events of the battle of Gettysburg and the siege of Richmond. One author after another failed in the work, and at last the famous St. George Rathburne was approached on the sub ject. He demanded a fabulous price forthe work, but it was paid, and the story was actually written to order. It is, however, printed under the pen name of "Hugh Allen." It is declared by critics, who have been shown the advance sheets, to be the best story of the water ever written. The first in- stalment of it appeared in No. 3, Vol xx'iii of the LEDGER, and at once at tracted the greatest attention. A pri vete letter from the editor informs us that in order to reach all class of peo- ple, the publishers of the LEDGER will rnail the opening chapters of the story free of charge to all who send in their names at once. The LEDGER is a great paper,and each week gives story matter enough to make a dollar book. Address THE CHICAGO LEDGER, 'CHICAGO,' ILL. Council Proceedings.

The entertainment given in Drew's Opera Hall, on Friday night under the auspices of he Ladies' Aid of the Pres- byterian Church was indeed "a grand success, and despite the stormy and disagreeable weather the audience was large as well as critical and enthusias- tic. Miss Knox, the gifted elocutionist, was the principal feature of the even- ing and her recitals were rendered to the great delight of all who were pres ent. It can be safely said, that Miss Knox has few equals and no superiors in this country 'to -day, She is possessed of a remarkable flexible voice which she handles to perfection, From the start to finish of each selection she held the people with unabated interest, carrying her audience with her, now with tenderness moving in tears. then again convulsing with laughter as she indulged in the humorous. She has a marvellous power in facial expression along with alt even, well trained voice, which she uses with surprising effect. She is without a doubt one of the most versatile reciters and imitators on the stage, From start to finish the entertainment was of the hiehest character and won for the tal- ented entertainer repeated applause. The local talent also did credit to them- selves, and the committee in charge deserve credit. The proceeds amount- ed to about $70. EXETER ER PORK PACKING HOUSE.
