Mary, now the captive Of her own
subjects, was received by the lower
classes with insult and cries of indigna-
ton, while she was escorted through
their midst almost naked, and disfgured
with dust and tears. On the night of
June 10th, she was hastily conveyed to
Lockleven Castle, after being compelled
to relinquish the apparel suited to her
rank, and disguise herself so as not to
be recognized.
Thus did Mary Stuart bid adieu to
Helyrood, the Palace of her fathers,
whose halls were never again to be light
ened by her presence. Her subsequent
career may be told in few words. In
the rude tower of Lockleven, in an islet
where she could scarce walk fifty yards
in one direction, she was detained for
nearly year. While in this abode,
she was waited upon by deputation
from the Lords of the Secret Council,
with demand that she should renouncc
the crown in favor of her infant son.
After a display Of considerable reluc-
tance, she was compelled to sign the
deed of remuneration. On the I'd of
May, 1868, she escaped from her prison
house, and was received by a powerful
band of her faithful followers, who es-
corted her to place of safety. Multi
tudes rushed to arms at the news of her
deliverance. Her army was defeated
on the field of Langride, on the 10TH of
May, and she was compelled to be a
fugitive. At this moment of peril she
might have escaped to France. Unhap-
PLY, however, she preferred throwing
herself on the generosity Of Queen Eliz-
abeth, and fled into England agaips:
the entreaties of her followers-there to
be the victim of one long train of dis
stimulation and vindictivencss and at
length, after weary Imprisonment of
more than eighteen years, to perish on
the block by the cruel and unjustifable
mandate of that

For the Echo and Advertiser.


Mr.. EDIroR!--In your paper of last
week, in noticing the visit of the Kent
ish Guards from East Greenwich, and
Green's American Brass Band from
Providence, you take occasion to say
these words: I'VE regret that our
Band did not extend to them the GUS
tomary courtesies by receiving them at
the depot on their arrival, which we be-
lieve is the general practice on such oc-
casions.' AS you Mr. Editor are neith-
er a military man or musician, l can
readily excuse you for the mistake in
supposing it customary for Band to
meet any and every similar organization
who may find it profitable to visit the
village or city where they reside. 1t is
not customary so to do For instance,
suppose Dodworth's Band made it a
point to receive every Band who visits
New York, they could do nothing else
But when Band visits city where
another Band belongs, among whom
they have particular personal friends,
then it has been customary (if conven,
ient) to receive them on their arrival
and treat them with politeness and at
tention. The American Brass Band
expected no such thing of US, and Mr.
King, one of its members, assures me
they did not know of the existence of a
Band here until the next morning after
their arrival. Yours, &C.,
G. III. DENIsoN,
Leader Wesieriy Brass Band.

nJ~ The New York Evening Post
says, the new -four that comes to mar
ket is of remarkable fine quality, and ia
very superior condition. Prices are
now about two dollars per barrel below
the highest point of the season. The
decline generally anticipated later in
the season is about another dollar
The month of October will probably
be the time when prices will show the
greatest decline Of the year.

JOHN TAYLOR.

Mn. EDiToR:--In a recent number
Of the Echo there is doubt expressed
whether one in twelve of the ministers
of our day ever had any other trade than
preaching. Had The Locomotive editor
asserted the exact opposite of this, that
there were not more than one in twelve
but had learned a trade, be would have
been nearer the truth. AS fact, five
out of the six ministers in this village,
gave up some 'other trade , or profess
ion for the ministry, and the former
pastor of the Baptist Church was car
penter six out Of seven, as the Loco
motive should have known before he
wrote his article, had some other trade,
and this proportion We are prepared to
prove will hold throughout New Eng
land. S
