KIDDER.
The Kidder family is one of the most ancient families of England ; and, if tradition may be relied on, they are of the stock of ancient Brit- ons, and existed as a family previous to the invasion of the Romans, Danes, or Saxons, and were not disturbed in the possession of their lands at the conquest. Although the name is found in different parts of Eng- land, it is most common in Maresfield, where a family by that name has resided for several centuries.
James Kidder, who was b. at East Grinstead in Sussex, England, in 1626, is considered as the patriarch of the family, and the ancestor of all who bear that name in this country.

Mr. Lane had many valuable traits of char- acter, and was chiefly remarkable for the intense enthusiasm with which he embraced those view and principles, whether political or reformatory, which commended themselves to his judgment, and the untiring energy with which he advo- cated and enforced them. These qualities made him peculiarly valuable to the Republican party, of which, from the first, he was a devoted ad- herent, and in his connection with it he ren- dered constant and important services. To the cause of public education, Mr. Lane was also devotedly attached, and for many years was influential, as a member of the school-board, in promoting the welfare of the public schools. Next to the cause of education, and not second to it in his estimation, he held the cause of tem- perance, in support of which he labored assidu- ously to the very close of his life. His illness was long and peculiarly painful, but it was borne with a degree of manly fortitude rarely exhibited. His indomitable will supported him, and apparently enabled him to triumph over his disease until near the very close of his career.
