WHEN usurpations Of power are
made dangerous, and when encroach-
ments upon my liberty and the llber-
II of my constituents and upon the
Constitution intended to guard the
liberties of US all, are made, | would
have every manhave spirit enough
to declare his opinions and offer his
protests. Without this freedom OF
speech there can be no lasting liberty

A people who cannot
discuss the public measures of the

cannot be free people, and do not

The Prince Of Wales and the Barber.


The Prime. Of Wales and the Barber.
A great many years ago, or some
where there abouts, when the people
Of this country were cat logger
heads with England, and warlike
feeling was tuned up to the highest
notch against the British, by some
means or other, it so fell out that the
/ Prince of Wales, afterwards Will
liam the Fourth, it is probable, be-
ing in the fleet off New York,
thought he would step ashore, take
tramp around, incog., of course,
and see what was going on. The
Prince was u high lark" fond of
fun and fashions, and finally found
/ himself in Boston, where he would
have made a glorious " spec for
someone, had they known and nab
bed his Royal Higness. The Prince
stepded into barber shop-a build
/ ing yet cxtant upon Hanover street,
although the d1'amatlS persona have
all made their cxit-to get shaved
Just like other mctrepolitans. The
barber was ont, hnt his buHom and
p!cpossessinS wife was on hanG and
took OF his Royal IIiShncss' beard
in as ready manner as could any
/ barber or valet in town Tie oper-
satiou over, the jocuIar Prince gave
the woman guinea, and as she was
about to hand over the change, he
! laughingly said-"O! keep it wo-
man, keep it all : by the laws it S
worth twenty guincas to be shaved
By lass, and such a pretty one
too !" and throwing his arms about
the neck ei the barbcr-ess, his Royal
/ IIiehncss youcisatcd her most ne
tural and comedy kiss. The woman

pretty shaver, said the royal custe-
n1er. "and when your husband re-
turns, tell him You We been kissed

embryo king. upon facing the door
way to make his exit, was met by the
barber himself, who hearing what
the Prince said. raised bis p!ebian
foot, and gave His retreating High
ness a most formidable kick, exclaim-
iug-"Ycs, sir, and when you get

step and flashing eye would have
been quite Ineligible to any less
conceited brain.
This he continued to do for mum
Der Of evenings in succession until,
at last, she avoided going out alto
gether, unless upon urgent business:
This unmanly persecution annoyed
her 50 much, that she was several
times on the point Of telling her low
er. But she knew, if she did so,
his fiery spirit would prompt him t?
take such extreme measures as would
be likely to make her the object OF
public notoriety, and, perhaps, in
volve him in some personal difficulty
So she kept silent, hoping that her
persovering admirer would eithssr it'sA
leave the city or give ~ his dishon-
orable pursuit.
One day, Just as it was beginning
to grow dusky, she was retiring from
! the Post Office, congratulat!ng her
self that she had escaped the COM
pany Of her usual attendant, when
he snddenly appeared Tonnd an ad-
iacent corner. where he he'd evident
y had bccn waiting for her.
"a very fine evening, Miss,-Miss
- really cannot recall yonr name,
though | am certain We have met
somewhere, he said, in what he cen

ncr.
Kate did not vouchsafe to give him
the information which he was evil
IDENTIFY 50 anxious to obtain, but she
! hurried quickly along, without re-
warling him b. one word or look for
The fine speeches which he began TO
pour forth in lavish profusion.
At last a happy thought struck
| her; slackening her pace, she seem
/ ed to relcnt, and finally, much to his
joy, began to enter into conversation
with him, though in cautious and
rather ambiguous manner. In the
rcoontima instead ot roino to her
boarding-placc, she turned her steps
toward the house OF acquaintance,
where there were about Il dozen as
merry, roguish girls as herself.
She took her gallant squire round

TIE CONCERT To-N1GiIT.-A fine musical
entertainment is in store for the music-loYlng
people of Worcester, this evening, at Me-
chanics' Hail. On this occasion, Madame
Anna Bishop, Mademoiselle Erba, the emf
nent pianist, NJ. Arbuckle, the celebrated cor
net player, Herr Zoehler, autist, Henri Suck,
yiolinist, and 2. S. Gilmore (under whose di-
rection the concert is to be given), appear.
A concert like this is very rarely given in
Worcester; and the musical attractions Of
fered should cause the hall to be crowded.
The tickets are put at the low price OF 20
cents. Surely, that is cheap enough for such
fine performance as visits us tonight. We
hope to see such an audience as will cause
Mr.. Gilmore to come here again.

We commend to the attention Of our read
entire. 1t is long, but it will abundantly re-
pay the time spent IN reading it carefully 1t
is mainly devoted to state affairs, and to the
relations of the state to the war, and presents
a faithful review of the past executive year.
1t should be read carefully for the interesting
information it gives.
The governor states that the number of
troops sent out of the state for three years
service and for nine months is about 10000,
besides which about 5000 men have been
raised for the old regiments. The adjutant
generals report will give more exact and
particular account OF the troops raised, and
especially the estimates and figures of the
calculation made with view to the draft. We
look for this report with considerable interest ;
and, when it comes, we shall give careful at
tention to its contents.
The state treasury is in very satisfactory
condition. The receipts last year amounted to
S2,947, 1872, and the disbursements to $685.
800. The permanent state debt is $685.
600, for which there is provision to the
amount of So, O96,O25. He states that by pay
ing the interest on the bonds of the Eastern
railroad and the Norwich and Worcester rail
road in coin, and then beiug compelled by
those corporations to take paper money in re-
turn, the state lost $l0,5 The Legislature
will probably give this fact due consideration
| The governor recommends that the state
assume the bounties paid to the soldiers by
the towns and cities sup to some reason
able and liberal amount per capita,
and gives good reasons for this policy
| He has ordered the preparation of complete
and,accurate alphabetical roll of all our mer
who have entered the military service, very
important and much needed document, indis
pensable to the adjustment of questions re
lating to bounty, bounty lands and pensions
hereafter. AS he has given the order, w
may be sure that he will see it faithfully exc
cuted.
But we have not room for a complete sum
mary of the message; nor is it necessary, fo
those who feel just interest in the affairs o
the state, will read the document itself.

The CERTIFICATE TAx.-The commission
er OF internal revenue writes to the assessor
of this collection district as follows =
"tr-Your letter of the 23d ult., inquiring
II certain certificates require stamps, has been
re ceived, and in reply have to say that your
decision, that the certificates of the measure
ment of wood, coal, hay, &C., require stamps
under the executive law, is correct
A ten cent stamp is required for certiii-
cate. This may do very well when man
gets married; but it is rather ''steep' for the
certificate required when he has small lot of
wood or coal measured. The tax law could
be improved by little amendment.

CITY AND COUNTY.

The WEATHER for the past few days has
ponds in this vicinity to be in excellent condi-
ton for skating, and large numbers have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity for that ex-
hilarating and healthful amusement. The
Fox pond and Salisbury pond were yesterday
thronged with fleet footed gliders upon the
ice, of both sexes. Our advice to all is, i'm
prove the opportunity while it lasts.
