' , ., A Rare Coin. Mr. William Goodman, on Market street, has an old and rare silver coin which has considerable historic interest. It is about the size of one of oar silver dollars and was coined by the City of Xuremburr. in the Kingdom of Bava-! ria, in 1694, when that city was an in dependent republic! On one side in a circle is the legend, "Moneta Nova Reipub. Norimbergensis, 1694," and on the other side in a circle surround- ing a representation of the city of Nu remburg, is the legend, Svb Vmbra Alarvra Tvarvru," undeaneath the cen tre of which in Hebrew characters is the name of the Ixrd. The coin is in a remarkable good state of preservation the letters, figures and other represen tations being plain and distinct, al though 189 years have passed since it came from the mint of that then thriv ing republic. j Rev. Dr. Milburn. One of the worst storms of the sea son prevailed last night. It had rained at intervals with more or less severity during the entire day and as nifrht annroached it continued to -o r i , . I - . '. grow worse, the wind increasing in force until when the hour arrived for the commencement of Dr. Milburn s j lecture on the "Life and Character of Aaron Burr," at the Opera House, it rained in torrents and the wind blew a furious gale. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the night, however, which would seem to deter any one not actu ally compelled to be abroad from ven turing into the streets, quite a large number were present at the lecture, drawn thither through storm of wind and rain and darkness and mud to (lis ten to the magic eloquence and wonder ful descriptive powers Ot the speaker. His lecture, upon the theme we have named, occupied about two hours in its delivery, and was listened to with the most profound attention and interest hroughout. It was a remarkable por traiture of the life and character ot a most remarkable man in which the few bright tints were made to show out th multitude' of darker shades & v k. t . . . .1 with the nicest discrimination anu rnthfulhess. 1 was a painting in which the pencil was wielded by a mas- er hand. j Dr. Milburn will lecture, again to- 'RichardT Brinsley Sheridan," onejof the famous mpn of Endand in his time wit, ora tor ana pmyw unt n i : ,.l.f Tf is a sunject interest, not reDlete with instructive r,iw frnni Sheridan's own remarkable gifts, but as It pictures a time m .ng- IJ . v - - ish history noted for the great, number of brilliat minds both men and wo- 1 . .n.nianann:: with ojen wno were wnw:iiiHuia"vu"j him.
