" PLYMOUTH RocK.-This rock was brought to this
country in the Mayfower in the year 1892 by the pill
gTims under directions of Elder Osman Brewster who
afterwards removed to Boston, and became alderman
of that city Plymouth Rock put on wharf where
part of it remains to this day. people may see if they
will take the trouble to scratch the dirt away No
son is given for putting the rock up far from the
ter except it was to keep it out OF the wet Dr. n. B.
Shurte was the first to land on Plymouth Rock, which
he did without any trouble because it wasn't very big
one It was on this rock that Governor Carver first
shook hands with Samoset, who said Welcome Eng
ishmenr 1t is recorded that when Samoset came up,
Governor Carver asked him if he real Ingine or
only member of an ingine company. The rock has
long been regarded famous place, and great many
things have been written about It, Strangers coming
on the coast always climb to the mastheads with spy
glasses to see Plymouth Rock.
"The American eagle for great many years, used
to come and whet his beak the rock, but in 1858,
Miles Standish in order to keep it from getting stolen,
took all there was of it, and carried it up and put it in
front of Pilgrim Hail. where il remains at the present
tme invested with great interest and iron fence
The fence bears the of all the Pilgrims in cast
iron letters that can't be rubbed out. On the other
part of the rock the descendants Of the Pilgrims have
landed because they have covered it up with land pro-
baby to it from being out by the illusions
touching it that are thrown off by Fourth Of July ora
tons and other patriots.
Plymouth Rock is the cornerstone in the cellar
wall of republican structure, paragorcaly speaking
and the spirit of Liberty sits upon it with drawn
sword hand and the torch of Freedom in the 9th
er. The monument to the Pilgrim Fathers, commenced
by Mr. Billing, in 1858, upon Plymouth Rock will be
three thousand feet above the level of the sea- and
easily seen from New Haven, the place pilgrims came
from, with the naked eye. Peregrine White, the frs
child born in Massachusetts, born on Plymouth
Rock, and Miles Standish when John Alden swindle(
him out of Priscilla in 1903, sharpened his sword OF
Plymouth Rock is of the paladiums of our liberty
and if foes invade the shores of Plymouth at low tide
the people will throw this rock in their teeth. 1t is
precious legacy from the Past to the Present, and from
it may be reckoned the Pilgrims Progress.

this poisonous stuff purchased by the lower order of

Pure wines and spirits are high in price that we
Cannot make profit upon them and in the next place

But the same writer adds
wines can now be obtained just pure as they
could so years ago. but the prices range much higher
For this reason not crop of good Madeira has been
made since 1851 and for the last five or six years the
