More American ladies have mar

supposed. The most remarkable in
stance was that of the three daughters
of Richard Cation, Esq, of Baltimore.
grand-daughters of Charles Carroll, Of
Carrollton, who were sent to England
to he educated, and each of whom
knocked down her peer" They mar
ried the Marquis Wellesley, Lord Staff
ord. and the Duke of Leeds. The Ouch
ess Dowager of Leeds is the only survi-
vor of the sisters, and their husbands
are also dead. Besides these, the first
Lord Ashburton married the daughter
of the Hon. Vim. Bingham, of Philadel-
phia, by whom he left a large family.
The eldest, William Bingham Barring,
| the present Lord AshburtOn, held high
| Office. and is very influential, as well
from his abilities as his great wealth.
The second Lord Erskine, 1.-THE son Of

The owners of land can have birds or
they can have destructive insects-it de-
pends upon them to choose which. If
they like vermin on their trees and crops,
on the tops, the branches, roots, every
where, then they will get rid of the birds
of course. But if the pretty, singing,
hoppiDg, flying, brlght-eyed birds are
preferred to cankerworms, curculios,
grubs, and all manner of unsightly
worms and bugs, why then they must
get rid of or punish the boys and men
that hurt the one and cause the other to in
crease and multiply, and deyour. They
will even take particular pains to put up
boxes and houses for wrens and sparrows,
and the like, to live in, and to feed those
who stay among us in the winter.
