a very interesting relic that has been
cherished in her family for a. groat
many yeirs and which is a copy of
the New York Herald of April 15,
1S65, more than fifty-nine years ago.
This paper gives the tletails of the
assassination of President Abraham
Lincoln and the headings of the
paper were very ecnstional for a
newspaper of that day and the heads
represented a large number of fonts
of type cf all sizes and styles and on
the front page the column rules were
turned in mourning for the fallen
leader.
In the copy of the Herald the
dispatches issued by the state and
war departments were given showing
the gradual sinking of President
i Lincoln and his final passing.
The paper also lias tne story of
the fall of Richmond and the flight
of President Jefferson Davis from
the southern capital and .the gradual
crumbling of the forces of the south.
The paper is a real curiosity
both from the makeup anfl appear
once as well as the historical value
