GEN. GRASr's FAmLY.-The following

GEN. GRANTS FAnLY.-The following Is
taken from letter published in the New
York Post,
"The family of Gen. Grant, you viii re
member, some time since took up their resi-
dence in the city OF Burlington. They are
still there, occupying trim little cottage on
quiet street running from the heart Of the
town down to the banks of the Delaware.
The place is Dy no means pretentious or aris-
tocratic, ana mas nothing at all to distinguish
~ IRON its helghbors, having, perhaps, been
Seieeteu ior tnat very reason by the wife OF
our greatest general, who is equally as plain
ana practically minded as himself. At almost
a.y nour OF the day, passing the cottage you
WIN see stout rosy-iaced girl, probably eight
OF nine years of age, trundling her hoop on
tne sidewalk or playing in the yard; and if
you nave seen the Lieutenant General, or any
OF Inc better pictures of him, you will not
need to be told that this robust, laughing girl
Is his child-Nellie Grant. Like him, she is
compactly built, and there is in her face the
same frank, honest look which SO attracts you
in the father. Nellie is, of course, great ia
vorite with the little maidens of her age, and
few children Of larger growth" pass her in
her play without pleasant nod or word.
They remember-these loyal people of this
quaint old Burlington-that the father of this
bright faced loiterer in their midst is carrying
on his shoulders in these solemn DAYS of per-
IL the burdens of a nations fate, and out of
gratitude to him they bestow upon her and
the mother, who lives SO quietly in this mod
est cottage, the kindliest homage and respect,
never weary in exhibitions of thoughtful in
terest and regard.

Marble Work and Grave Stone Manufac-
turinr.

The marble business, in some of its depart
ments, is carried on quite extensively in this
city, but is confined to four or Eve establish
ments. Mr.. J. r. Thompson has carried on
the business in the city about thirty-six years
and has been at his present place of business
corner of Pearl and Federal streets. fourteen
years. The manufacturing has been mainly
under the direction of his son, Mr.. E. M.
Thompson, for three years past, who has a
thorough knowledge of the business, having
served regular apprenticeship in every de
partment. The mantle pieces, fire frames and
table tops manufactured at this establishment
find ready sale, and for beauty of finish are
rarely exeelled. as
There is nothing of the kind this market
demands that cannot be done as well and on
as reasonable terms in this city as elsewhere.

Messrs. Hunt & Jewett, on Congress St.,
are confined mainly to the manufacture of
grave stones. Besides a large home demand,
they have agents 10 every part of the State,
and one or two travelling agents from whom
orders are constantly being received. They
get up some of the best work in the State,
and can sell on as favorable terms as any 9TH
er establishment. Msssrs. FL. Dc j. are inter-
ested in mandatory in Paris where con-
siderable work is done. They also supply the
manufacturers in the State with marble slabs
and other materials, of which they keep
large stock on hand. edA4 BTIfEH
Messrs. II. Hanson & Co. have recently
erected convenient building for their use on
the corner Of Cumberland aud Preble streets,
where they are receiving orders for all they
can do, with their present force. Mr.. Hanson
has been engaged in this business several
years and attends particularly 10 the manu-

Messrs. j. II. Cook 4 Co, have carried on
the business on Preble street about twelve
years, and have sent out some very excellent
work. The business, we understand, is about

Smith, who has been In the employ of Messrs
Hunt q Jewett about seven years, and has
carried on the business in other cities. Mr..

William LLOYD Garrison.

This gentleman will lecture In Mechanics
| Hall tomorrow afternoon and evening. What
NAV be the subject of his discourse In the AFTER
noon we are not apprised; but itnas been sug-
gested that the address In the evening will
have speciaI reference to the state of the coun-
try in this her trial hour. 9#
ofthe ability of Mr.. Garrison it is unneces-
sary to speak. His occasional addresses in this
city during the past thirty years have furnish
! ed abundant evidence in that direction. For
clear, concise, logical usterance he has been
Pexceled by no one appearing before Port
land audience; and we have often heard bitter
enemies declare that his sincerity is beyond all
controversy.
Many of us have differed with Mr.. Garrison.
not on the abstract question of human rights,
but on measures alone. Now, however, among
the real friends of the Union, there is scarcely
shade difference; all fraternize; and among
the supporters of Mr.. Lincoln, none is more
hearty or powerful than Mr.. Garrison-while
II is eminently due to say that the support thus
cheerfully rendered is in no sense inconsistent
with the course hitherto pursued by him in
reference to the administration.
Wisely or unwisely it matters Motive think,
however, wisely--at the advent of the admin
istration the Government was not directly COM
mitted against slavery; but subsequent events
have caused the Government to array itselfin
hostility to that system, as the procuring cause
of the rebellion, and as absolutely necessary to
be extinguished before the rebellion can be f.
nally and efectually crushed. see
In these circumstances Mr.. Garrison, like an
honest and consistent man, takes the side of
the Government; and our prayer is that he
may live to see the Union as it was designed
by our fathers, established upon solid rock,
against which the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail. Hn
Our earnest advice to all is-Go and hear

TROUBLE AMONG CRINoLIEEs.-A little
fracas occurred yesterday afternoon in Cobb's
Court between two females originating in a
discussion as to the best manner of bread ris-

tempers Of both the women, when fists, stones
and pulling hair were used as arguments. A
third female, for interfering to stop the
trouble, got lick on the head with brick,
which induced her to Withdraw and cease all

was going on finely between the two, much to
