We are Indebted to Mrs. Morse for a souvenir edition of tbe New York Herald. An enterprising patent medicine man has reproduced wbat purports to be part of tbe New York Herald of April 36,1865, in which tbe assassination ol Lincoln Is announced, and tbe surrender of Lee is told. The proclamation of Jefferson Davis In reference to the evacuation of Richmond and the reasons therefor, with a patriotic appeal, Is published. The paper Is full of war news, and other Items of interest. Tbe Raleigh Confederate Is quoted as saying on April Tth : "Our marketon the arrival of tbe Weldon train on yesterday became overstocked with shad. Tbey went off slowly at $50 per pair." "New Orleans, via Cairo, April 14,1865. Tbe New Orleans markets are at a standstill. Low middling cotton is quoted at 42 cents per pound, and good superfine flour at 89 per barrel." There is much In that paper that would be Interesting, and as time goes by It will be more lnterestlne than It Is now, bat tbe patent medicine man made himself very manifest, and his certificates sh to the efficacy of bin medlolnes were of date 1895 andUS96. Wben the larmers of today note that cotton was selling at 42 cents in 1865, tbey will no doubt be sorry that tbey have held their cotton for Scents. 1 In K ui Hutiu t&L per pair, auu cuuuu bales $20 a piece.
