must at once set out in search for her. He
was told where she was living only slx
months previous, and thither he went with
all possible haste, but she was not there
Only q month before she had gone away.
BE learned the direction it was sup
posed she had taken, and again with all
possible speed he pushed forward But
fate seemed against him, for farther and
farther away seemed to him the object OF
his search. At last, after he had travelled
hundreds of miles, going by night as well
as by day, he found the love OF his youth.
The story of the woman was one OF long
toll and suffering. After ten years OF
welded life her husband had died of lin
gering disease, leaving her with three
children.
One after another of these treasures
were claimed by death, until she was left
alone and friendless. In such circum-
stances she was found by one who re-
newed the pledge of his youthful affection,
and asked that to her happiness he might
devote the remainder of his life. Such
was the grandfather's story at the happy
Thanksgiving dinner, and he closed by
saving that one week from that day he
was to be married to her who>had been so
long lost, but who was at length restored
to him

A Romantic Story.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Jour-
nal writing from Concord, N. H., tells the
following romantic story:
One Of the happiest Thanksgiving din
ners in New Hampshire yesterday, was IN
one of our rural villages, not thirty miles
from Concord. It was the first reunion
for many years of several generations of a
certain family. At the head Of the
table sat the venerable grandfather, now
eighty-one years of age. He had come
alone, thousands of miles, from the West,
to meet his descendants. After the din.
ner, he told the story Of his life. Some OF
its main features we have gathered for this
letter.
The hero of the story was born in the
State of New York, and passed his youth
on fertile farm in the valley Of the Mo-
hawk river. In the course of time he was
engaged to be married. Before the nup-
tiaIs were celebrated he became interested
in anothef young lady, who also proved
to be engaged, but between them there
soon sprung up a strong intimacy, which,
on the part OF both, was carefully con-
cealed from the other parties concerned:
The most solemn pledges. however, had
been made by them, and they shrunk
from the idea of breaking their plighted
vows In vain they waited, hoping that
something might occur which would cause
the other parties to give them release from
matrimonial obligations.
At length they met, as they supposed,
for the last time, and parted. The man
married and emigrated to the West, and
the woman was united in hymeneal bonde
and settled on the shores of the Oneida
lake. These events happened nearly fifty
wears ago. The Western adventurer
proved a good husband and kind father,
and grew into middle age widely known
and influential citizen. Prosperity attend
ed him, and wealth and many friends came
to him. After twenty years of married
life his wife was taken from HIM, but
children remained. By and by several OF
his children married, and one Of them
came to New Hampshire. Years passed
on, but he had never again visited the
East.
After repeated invitations from his rela-
tives he concluded few months ago to
spend with them, in New Hampshire, the
then approaching festival of Thanksgiv-
ing. He reached Albany at the time oi
the height of the great food, and travel
being much interrupted he stayed over q
few DAYS, and accidentally met some Old
acuuaintances of his youth. During one
conversation there was casually mentioned
the name of her from whom he had many
wears ago so sorrowfully parted Eagerly
he asked if she were yet alive. and when
answered In the affirmative tears came 70

n Navy Depart nent.


Tn Secretary Of the Navy, Mr.. ROBE
son, reports that onthe 9TH Of March, fS0o
the NAVY Of the United States consisted
Of 2OS vessels Of all classes and conditions.
These measured 103,4l2 tons, and calcu-
listed TO carry 1855 guns; Isl Of these
vessels were wooden; SO iron clads or
monitors; 30 Of the wooden ships were
sails; 6S steamers with sails, and "A steam
ers without aila The iron-clads are
steamers exclusively. Three vessels havo
been sold abroad, and IS ordered home for
repairs The vessels not in commission
were 40 iron-clads; 80 condemned and or
dercd to be sold, and % which never have
been In commission; and Sc laid up as un-
There are five naval stations over which
this small force is distributed these sta
tions include all the waters of the globe;
Of the IS vessels doing the active on all
these stations only 18 were in condition
for real service. The use of steamers as
cruisers is discouraged as inefficient and
expensive, and as affording no school for
seamen- The monitors were all out of or
der and unfit for service, and many Of
them are 30 now.
In the time which has elapsed since
March, the government has been engaged
in putting this navy into condition for &C,
tive service. Sail power has been added
to all the steamers put in commission, thus
enabling them to cruise, and avoiding the
expensive use of coal Eighty vessels have
been more or less repaired
The Secretary discusses the great inn
poftsnce Of an efficient navy cruising in
al parts of the world, and urges the build
ing of sea going iron-clads, suitable to
cruise on foreign stations; the number OF
these new vessels not to be less than ten;
He advises, also, for home defense, an ad-
dition to the ordnance of the monitors,
and the adoption of the submarine tor
pedo.
He fAvors the building Of ocean steam
ers, capable Of being converted into yes
sells of war upon emergency, by the aid Of
subsidies from the National Treasury; and
he advises the regular improvement OF all
the navy yards, and an increase OF their
capacity.
BE calls attention to the fact that the
supply of seamen for the navy is gradually
dying ont, there being no provision made
for attaching men to the service. BE adj
vises also that every seaman In the United
States be registered, 20 that IN case OF war
he may be called upon to serve In the
navy. He recommends that the minimum
number Of men in the navy be increased
to 1900, instead Of 5000 as now. He.
urges that the question Of relative rank
be determined by law; and that the law
requiring retired officers to be promoted
by seniority be changed.
The pension roll contains the names OF
2,o66 persons, receiving annually 1891 600.
The expenditures of the navy during
the year were $20,085, ,2S5. The appro-
propriations for the present year are $lo,-
100000. The estimates for the year end
ing June 50, 1871, are SIS, s,205,67 .f

Report Of the Secretary Of the Interior.

The report of the Secretary Of the In
terror states that the amount OF public
lands sold during the year was 1866, l5l
acres, about 100000 greater than the
preyious wear. The number of acres en-
tered under the homestead law, which IS
included in the above, exceeds that OF last
wear by 400, 900. The cash receipts were
nearly $4,500,000. =
There we're Is, ,762 pensions issued dur
ing the year, the fees being $213,926 In
excess of expenditures Last year the
expepditures exceeded the receipts. An
apnropriation is asked for the patent Of
fice for the next fiscal year of 1864, 420.
Thirty millions will be required for the
pension service during the fiscal year.
The Secretary urges the assemblage OF
Indians upon larger reservations, where
their numbers will be more aggregated,
and where the more civilized OF them
win influence the others m striving 70

vhen two or three principal Indian ter

The Secretary approves of the labors OF
the Peace Commission, and the policy
now pursued by the Indian agents:
he suggests placing the education Oh
