Daniel Webster

Was descended from an an ancestry origi
nally Scotch, but for time resident i'll
England, which migrated t. this country
very soon after the Landing at Plymouth,
and was born in Salisbury, (now Boscaw
en-, New Hampshire, on the 18th of Jan
uary, 1882. His life has therefore been
extended over niue months beyond the
seventy years allotted to man. His earli-
est known progeritor was Thomas Web
ster, who settled a. Hampton, near the
sea coast of New Hampshire, as early as
1886. The Websters were generally far
mers, and Con occasion) soldiers, were fair
haired, of light complexion, and slender
frame. The Statesman inherited his stur-
dy frame, dark features, black hair, &c,
from his fathers mother, daughter of Rev
Stephen Batchelder, aud woman of re-
markable force of character. His own
mother was also a woman of rare intellec-
tual powers. His father, after fighting
well for his King and country, in the
French and Indian wars, obtained, after
the peace Of 1868, grant of land in Sal
isbury, at the head of the Merrimac River,
and there built his log cabin, snd COM
meneed his clearing in l76i-thc farthes,
North of any British subject in New En-
gland. The log house has since vanished, as
did the frame one built beside it, in which
Daniel Webster was born; but the farm
remains in the family, and the trees which
shaded his boyhood, and the we'll whence
he quenched his thirst, still wooed him
with their well-remombered attractions, on
each recurring visit, to the last He re-
ceived his education in the common schools
Of his native town, and at Dartmouth Col
lege, to which his father resolved, unsolic-
tied, to send him-a great undertaking for
poor farmer, in what was still almost n
pioneer settlement. He entered college in
1897, and graduated ia 1901, spending
the next year as principal Of an academy
at Fryeburg, Maine, for $3.50 per annun,
which he saved entire, earning his liveli-
hood by copying legal records. After
spending few months in the law Office Of
Mr.. Thompson, in Salisbury, he went to
Boston, aud entered As student the ofhce

This has been great week in Lancas-
ter. 1t has been estimated that the Fair
was visited by about $4,000 persons. The
Exhibition was, in all respects, far supe-
rior to any ever held in the State.
The display Of agricultural implements
was extensive, not few visitors were sur
priscd at the wonderful march of improve
ment in this noble science. The Rcapins
and Planting Machines alone formed a
very attractive feature, as was evidenced
by the rumbcrs who constantly thronged
around. The variety Of live Stock, too,
was very large, and marked improve
ment was noticed over the exhibition of
last year. The display of Poultry was un-
usually fine and attracted constant throng
of admiring visitors. The ladies were not
backward in adding interest to the occa-
sion by liberal contributions to the Floral
and Household Departments. Mechanic
and Floral Hall were continually crowded,
50 much so that it was with difficulty a
person ceuld get fair opportunity to cx-
anime the various attractions therein ex-
hibited.
The various premiums were awarded
yesterday afternoon. We had intended
to furnish them to our readers to-day, but
Secretary, MIR. Walker, informed US that
he had concluded not to permit their pub
lication in the newspapers until he had
FIRST published them in pamphlet form.
Hon. VIM NJ. Meredith, who was ex-
pected to deliver the annual Address, hav-
ing been detained i'll Pittsburg unexpect-
edly, that part Of the entertained was
dispensed with.
1t gives US more than ordinary pleasure
to record the fact that less intemperance
and dsorderly conduct was noticed at this
Fair, than at any other large popular de-
monstration we were ever at. This fact
has been the subject Of general remark
and commendation among citizens and
strangers, and reflects large measure of
credit upon the improved moral condition
of our city.-Loncaster Express, Oct. %.

The Papers don't Say.

Mr.. Slocum was not educated in uni
versity, and his walk in life has been in
by-paths and out-of-the-way places. His
mind is characterized by lteraLness rather
than comprehensive grasp Of subjects.
Mr. Slocum can, however, master printed
paragraph by dint Of spelling the hald
words in deliberate manner, and he man
ages to get a few glimpses Of men ard
things from his little rocky farm, through
the medium of a newspaper. 1t is quite
edifying to hear Mr. Slocum reading tie
village paper aloud to his wife after u
hard days work.
A few evening since, farmer Slocum
was reading an account Of dreadful acci
dent which had occurred at factory, in

Death of an Unknown Female.

four letters of magical combination, "Ma-
ry" "Home," though perchauce with
in an hours ride, was never thought Of as
a home for her Even the golden mem
ories Of youth we're obscured and lost in
the recollection of present shame. She
saw nothing of the roses that bloomed in
the pathway of her childhood but their
thorns. How sadly sweet to her we're the
thrilling gushes Of the songs of girlhood
that still faiutly echoed throug b the dark
ling chambers of her memory! This sad
record indicates trace of her maidenly
constituencies in the days Of her innocency,
when
unto the ground she cast her modest eye,
And and anon, with rosy red,
The bs,shful blush her snowy checks did dye
In the unimpenetrable mystery which hung
as pail over the place of her former home,
and even the names Of her deares. friends,
whose memories were hallowed by the en-
chantment of too holy spell to be pro
famed by the polluted atmosphere Of that
house of vice. Deep down in her "heart

woman's curiosity, no Establishments Of
the lords of creation" no woman's con-
fdence reposed, not even the gloom Of
lonely hours, the sufferings of disease, Or
the foreshadowing darkness of death itself,
could alright or draw it from beneath its
veil Of unrsvealing silerce.
Who can tell her anguish and her des-
pair? Who can tell from what hei ght she
fell or the magnitude of that circle from
whose centre her very name is for ever
blotted! Who knows what checks are
bathed in bitter brine-what grey hai,s
are there whitening early for the grave!
And where the serpent, perchancc, with
gilded crest and glittering apparel, that
beguiied this fair daughter Of Eve, whose
greatest fault might have been a too con-
fdiug belief that all the world were guile
less as herself? He may be in our midst.
