HISTORY LESSON.
Abraham LINCOLN, the grandfather of the great President of that
name, was killed by Indians on Linkhorn's Run, as the stream in
Kentucky was then called. His blood ran into the stream which
ever since has borne his name. He was found with the strings of
his powder-horn wound around his neck. The powder-horn passed
from one neighbor to another, and finally fell into the hands of
a Mr. BROWN, fowarded it to the Lincoln Memorial Association at
Springfield, Ill. It bore the owner's name and an eagle with
spread wings carved in bold relief.
