Good Fine; "The Alleghanian," Ebensburg, May 11, 1865. Four page, folio. Mentions Lincoln's burial, offers an article on "The Presbyterian Church and the Rebellion," and correspondence "From Our Soldiers." A few trivial spots, Fine; and "The Vermont Chronicle," Windsor, VT, May 20, 1865. 8 pages, folio. Details of the "Capture of Jeff. Davis", mentions of the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination, Jeff Davis being brought to Washington - "not expected to be tried with the assassins," reports of discharged soldiers, listing of the enrollment of names upon the colors of Vermont Regiments per Gen.
