Jasper County Man In England.

A friend sends us a copy of the Todmorden (England) Advertiser of Feb. 23, containing the following mention of F. E. Lewis and A. W. Law, who have been in England looking up an estate due their family, under the head of “American Visitors.” Mr. Lewis is a resident of Jasper county, residing at Kersey. He left England March 2 and is expected to reach home Monday next:

“Two visitors from America and Canada respectively have spent nearly a fortnight in Tormorden looking up their family history. Both Mr. Abin. W. Law of Toronto, and Mr. Frank E. Lewis of Indiana, U. S. A., the gentlemen mentioned, have great-grandparents buried in the neighbourhood, but it is in both cases a first visit to England. They have been staying at the Queen Hotel, and have made the most of their time looking round the various places of interest in the neighborhood. Mr. Law is a contractor for public highway work in the Dominion, and Mr. Lewis is the superintendent of a new railroad just building in Indiana. He is a Freemason, ■ and attended the of St. John at Harmony Lodge last week. After a visit to London and the continent, our two visitors are booked by Mr. John Speak, the local shipping agent, to return on Saturday week by the “Mauretania” of the Cunard Line,”
