all three married, and accompanied by their
wives and children, Of whom the two former
have six each. They at first encamped in a

merry singing of the children.
There were ten little girls sitting on the
grass. around blazing fire, on which were
fea-,iettIes. The song they were singing. was
" Home, sweet home" and as we walked up
We inquired where the hone about which they
were singing? They turned up their eyes,

is here" t''E
We understand the present arrivals are
about destitute of money, but they manifest
no fear or concern for the future. They do moi

lie was then small boy and lived, together
with his mother, in a family where she acted
IN the capacity of a servant. He then stole a
half dollar from one Of the small children of
the family. A disposition on the part of the
gentleman of the family to administer corpo-
raj punishment upon the young thief was
thwarted by the interference of the mother.
They were sent adrift, and this is the first in

If it had been administered, would have saved
the mother many a pang, and her recreant
son from an untimely end.-Troy Budget.
