CITY AND COUNTY.

The SUPERIOR CoURT has been engaged
the last three days in the trial of novel and
interesting case, between John Il. Stowe and
Levi C. Haywood. Both parties reside in
Grafton and are brothers in law. The defend
ant was charged with enticing away, harbor-
ing, and concealing the PLAINTIFF minor child,
Laura NJ. Stowe, from July "a, 1861, to Nov.
81, 1861.
The plaintiff sued for loss of services, dis
tress of mind, and expenses incurred in the
search of his daughter.
1t appeared from the evidence that Laura
was anxious to go to her uncle's to live against
her fathers consent. The uncle was will
ling to receive, clothe, and educate her;
but, after Laura came to his house,
she requested her uncle to carry her to her
aunt's at Marlboro, land since that time she has
been concealed from her parents, going from
place to place, and her parents never saw her,
neither could they find out where she was I'M
til she appeared in court as a witness for the
defendant. The defence tried to prove that
Laura had good cause for leaving home, occa'
stoned by abuse, &c. Whatever her uncle
did was from good motives to assist her. At
ter a trial of three days the jury found YER
dict for the plaintiff of 1888 33. L. b. Stod.
dard and George L. Hoar for plaintiff, George
L. Very for defendant.

KILLED AT FREDERICKsBURG.- "
Kempton, of Blackstone, a member of the
Massachusetts Goth regiment, was among the
killed in the battle of fredericksburg He
was taken prisoner at the battle of Balls
Bluff, imprisoned at Richmond and Salisbury,
and subsequently exchanged. We believe
Mr.. Kempton was a native of North Covent-
ry, Conn. He was member of the Baptist
church. WoOnsocket. Although somewhat
eccentric in his manners, he was devout and
worthy young man. After he was paroled he
told us that he could never be satisfied till he
had ''paid the rebels for their indignities while
he was prisoner" The debt is paid now

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY Three weeks
ago, David Allen died in this town, aged 50
years and months. lie was the last survivor
of the ten children of Nehemiah and Anna
Allen, three of whom were sons and seven
daughters, and all of whom lived to good
old age. Their ages respectively, leaving off
the months, were 90, SO, II, 81, SO, SO, so,
So, 80 and 50 years. Thus it will be seen that
six of the ten lived considerably beyond 30
years, averaging "a years and months and
that the average age of all is nearly SO years,
(SS 49, while the sum of their ages is SSS
years. We think it will be very difficult to
find another family, equally large, of such re-
markable longevity Gazette.

The EMANCIPATION JUBTLEE.-The grand
demonstration in this city, Thursday, at the
fremont Temple, was probably the only pub
lie celebration of the kind in this section of
the country. The proclamation of freedom
was not received at the meeting until just pre-
vious to the adjournment in the evening, when
it was read by Mr.. Charles w. Slack. The
joyous enthusiasm manifested was beyond de-
scription. Cheers were proposed for the pres
ident and for the proclamation, the whole au-
dience rising to their feet and shouting at the
toms at thor ,re.;nas, .i-0''inS up IIIvIr Iats,
&C., and indicating in every conceivable
manner their symptoms of qualification,
that the hour of deliverance had at length
arrived. When the cheering had some
what abated, the whole audience stood up and
joined in singing the jubilee song. elbow ye
the trumpet, blow" and then followed beau
tiful prayer of thanksgiving by the Rev. Mr.
Waterston, which moved many to tears, and
was frequently interrupted by shouts of
