Prof. Canfield has placed in the library this week, the history of the famous Hartford Convention, written by the Secretary, Theodore Dwight. This convention, composed of men opposed to the war of 1812, placed the seal of secrecy upon its proceedings and sealed the secretary's records, thus laying itself open to the accusation of its enemies that it was secretly plotting the destruction of the Government. No answer was made to these accusations for a number of years, until the secretary, Mr. Dwight, placed the books, containing the complete records of the convention, still sealed, in the hands of the State authorities of Massachusetts. The publication of the work has failed to reveal any plot against the government. And the publication of Mr. Dwigt's history clearly explains the action of the convention. This work was issued in 1833, and has long been out of print; but Professor Canfield has had a purchasing agent in New York on the lock-out for it for over a year, and at last has secured it. All students of American History, in or out of the University will be glad to know that we possess one of the four volumes now known to exist, of this famous treatise.
"The Lost Cause Regained," by Pollard, was secured at the same time, and can now be found in the library.
The death of Judge J. P. Usher at Philadelphia, last Monday morning, takes away from Lawrence one of its most true and tried citizens, one who has always stood high in the esteem of his fellowmen, and whose death is mourned by the whole community.

For several years previous to his death he was attorney for the Union Pacific R. R. The Ushe Guards, named in his honor,attended the funeral yesterday, in a body.
