ANECDorR oF Gov. BRIaas,-A friend has
related 10 us an ancclote Of the late Goverpo
Briggs, which happily illustrates the simplicity
oi nus character and his all-porvading beneyo-
lence. When he was Governor of the stats he
was waited upon IN his visits TO a BARRIERS shop
IN this city by a little colored boy who was ouite
a iayorite with the customers. The boy fell sick
with consumption. The gentleman who relates
nc me story visited him one day at his residence In
brighton street, when his mother remarked that
ier son was more cheerful than usual. Saws
he Governor Briggs has been here this AZ
ernoon, AMI he prayed and talked with him
sautliully; Our informant learned at this
Time that the visits OF Gov. Briggs had been
frequent. Although filling tho highest otiioe
~ the state, and oppressed with its cares. he
hm found time TO call repeatedly upon this poor
little colored boy and administer much needed
spiritual advice and consolation. The little iel-
low died soon after and has gone before" his
