PsoR OLD PRIMUs.-The selectmen ofNorth-
ampton sent, last week. the paupers in town,
who are entitled to a support from the Com
monwealth, to the State alms-house at Monson;
and among them was Old Primus," a colored
man, who, according to the best information, is
at least one hundred years old. He has resided
in town from period Of time to which the
memory of few can recur, but yet had not
gained illegal residence" Poor old man
he disliked to leave the dweling-place of SO
many years, and we almost wish that the Sc
lectmen could have felt justified in allowing
him to enjoy the charity of the town for the
remnant of his days. But he has had the
satisfaction of taking his first ride upon rail-
road, and we commend him to the kindly con-
sideration of the accomplished superintendent
