precious human freight, the large crowd gave
him hearty cheers. Mrs. Duncan and chill

taken to Scanlan's drug store in dreadful

from his lungs, could be heard through the
closed doors out in the middle OF the street,

The twelfth resolve, recommending the repeal
of the liquor law, elected warm discussion, but
it was finally settled by adopting modification
proposed by Mr. Hallet, making it read, recon-
mandatory of the repeal of the statute system of
State and Town agencies for the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors, as having tendency TO promote in
temperance. The resolutions were then unani-

A st. John paper says that the hay crop in
New Brunswick is fair average one, and the
grain crops promise very heavy yield, but the
harvest will be later than usual. The Frederic.
ton Reporter says;
"The injury sustained by the potato crop is
thus far very slight. Only few ofthe fields have
to any extent been affected and even where the
rust has appeared its effects have been trifng.
Throughout the country generally the blight has
not appeared, and the potatoes brought to mar.
ket are as large and as good as in the best years
OF their existence. The reaping season has COM
menced, and the oat crop is full and heavy, al
most beyond precedent"

The QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT ON THE
RoAD,-The official who conducted cores
pendent of the NeD YORK Express through the
stables at Windsor Castle, relates the follow
ing incident:
alt seems Her Majesty, as well as Prince
Albert, loves fast horses, and she never rides
unless her nags are upon the quickest trot.
Well, she had heard OF the speed OF New
York horses, and somehow the story of the
rapid movements of pair of them in Lon
don reached the ears OF the Prince and the
Queen. They were both anxious to see their
movements and try their speed, which being
made known to their American owner. he
challenged Prince Albert to test the mettle of
his animals between London and Windsor.
The royal party were to have twenty minutes
start and change horses on the road, while the
American trotters were to 60 through the en-
tire distance. The affair was wholly private,
and yet what was in the wind leaked out
among the grooms, and all was excitement.
Having reached the half way house and
road, with fresh horses, again for a start, they
all looked anxiously back for the American
horses. The Queen and Prince Albert were
as interested as if their crown was the issue
and remembering the yacht race, where the
America Yves victorious, by wave of her
hand to her Positions, Victoria urged them
forward. But it did not avail. The Ameri-
can trotters were soon in sight, and it was
but few minutes before they were meek and
neck with the royal party; to their utter
amazement they soon passed them, as trotting
horses are sometimes accustomed to do on the
Blooningdale road When the Queen and
the Prince reached Windsor, the American
horses were all nicely groomed, and ready, if
need be- for another start,
This exploit led to the purchase of some
trotting animals; but having jeopardIzed the
lives OF the royal party, they were wisely
abandoned. This is the postillions story, and
there is no cause to doubt its truth"

SUMNER SHOWS. The Valparaiso (lat 80
South) correspondent of the Per,nsyluanian
writes under date of July l6:
"This is mid-winter here, and the weather very
cold and unpleasant. The Andes are covered
with snow. Snow to the depth of several inches
fell in the streets of Santiago one night last week
The oldest settlers unite in declaring that they
have never passed through a more Indictment
Winter than the present. The snow is so deep
on the mountains that wild animals are compell-
ed to leave the mountain gorges, and seek for
milder climate in the valleys"

LEICESTER There was pleasant gathering
of the Sargent family, on Wednesday, Sept LIST,
at the homestead in Cherry Valley, Leicester
Nathan Sargent, the first settler of the name
removed to the town in l74l. His son John sue
ceeded him; who, in his turn was followed by
has son Sewall, the present resident there, and
owner Of the farm; so that the family tree has
been planted there for three generations.
The company of minute men which started for
the American headquarters from Leicester, on the
receipt of the news of the battle of Bunker Hill.
on their way, had breakfast there. Ammunition
was scarce; but while they ate, Mrs. Sargent
melted the clock weights to furnish them with
lead. Such was the fore.7lother of this branch
But the company of which we are speaking
required and received quite other aid. As no
room in the house was large enough, table was
made in the barn, extending from end to end -
H. e. Sargent, Esq, of Boston, presided. Fam
lily "reminiscences, local incidents and toasts were
in order Among those who contributed to the
social and intellectual FEAST were Mai. Gen S
drews of Roxbury, and MI. Aaron Sargent of Som
erville, both Of whom have done labors Of love in
preparing genealogical charts of the family !;
Messrs. David Andrews Of bingham, the veneer
able and beloved head of a numerous branch J.
Sargent Smith, and our host of Leicester; H. A.
Denny, and A. Firth of Worcester; Mr. Cutting
of Oakdale; Mr.. Joseph Buckley, of Boston, as
well as others. What remained of the afternoon
was occupied in visiting the various places which
mad family interest; and the evening--ft close
OF SUCH day-was passed at the house of Mrs.
Asa Sargent
We trust such reunions may become one of our
institutions; and that hearts may be so enlarged
by them that even outsiders, as in this instance,
gladly confess pretty stong family feeling. F.
