DUxBuRY AND Irs ROMANCE.

Duxbury, now that the French cable
is landed there, has assumed an impor-
lance before unknown, anl the newspa.
per correspondents are all doing IL
up.' One Of them gossips rs follows:
The chief business in town Of late years
was shipping; but even this has now
almost entirely died out. The absence
Of a railroad is the cause, and this
agent Of civilization having penetrated
the neighboring town Of Falmouth, the
business has gone over there. The popu-
lation here is less than 1000, and dur
ing tho past few years it has decreased
at tho ratio Of about loo per annum.
Farming is about all that is carried on
here to any extent, and next to agricul-
ture ranks the clam and lobster bust.
ness. With q railroad, which must GER
tainly com within a year or Two, it
would seem that the natural resources
of tho town must be developed. The
beach along tho coasts seven miles in
length, and the surroundings are pecu-
liarly adapted TO render this a watering,
place second to one in tho country.
The additional attraction OF mountain
scenery also exists here, and within "
radius of a few miles there are 365 fish
ing ponds-oue for every day in the
year.
The village is pleasantly located, on
elevated ground, in full view OF the
broad cxpanse OF ocean, and beyond It,
about two miles distant, is Standish
Hill, part of the farm of the renowned
Captain Miles Standish, the hero ofNew
England. There is an oft-told story
floating around here about the gallant
| Captain aud a handsome Mr.. Alden and
n lovely Miss Mullins. IL seems that
soon after Captain Standish became a
widowcr, he was led to believe that If
he could obtain the heart and hand Of
Miss Priscilla Mullins, daughter of Mr..
William Mullins, the breach in his fami.
ly would DO happily repaired. He there
fore, according to the custom of those
times, sent to ask permission of the old
gent to visit his daughter. John Alden,
the messenger, went and faithfully com.
municated the wishes Of the Captain.
The old gentleman did not object, as no
might have done, on account Of the re-
ccncy Of the Captains bereavement. Ho
said il was perfectly agreeable to him,
but the young lady must also be con
suited.
Tho damsel was then called into the
room, and Mr.. Alden, who is said to
have been n man Of excellent form, with
q fair and ruddy complexion, arose, and
in a very courteous and preposscssing
manner, delivered his errand. Miss
Mullins listened with respectful atten.
ton, and after a considerable pause,
fixing her Dyes upon him with nm open
and pleasant c%ountenance, said {:
" Prithee, John, why do you not speak
for yourself?" He blushed and bowed,
and took his leave. with a look that in.
dictated moro than his diAidence would

renewed his visit, and it was not long

Many sorrowful scenes take place stthe
jail in this city between those incarcerated
there for crime and the relations and
friends who are permitted to visit them.
But few more melancholy meetings have
ever occurred within its dismal walls than
was witnessed there on Tuesday last be-
tween Patrick Murphy, charged with muir
der, and his wife and little boy, who had
come from their home at Mt Pleasant TO
visit the unhappy husband and father.
After the first paroxism Of their grief had

sired 10 make some communications to the
TAILOR and others in regard TO the condi-
ton of her husband, but being unable
to do 90 in English that could be under

should interpret between the mother and

and child yesterday returned to their

hands of a brother of the late John Perry
a few moments after the murder, are heals

On both nights the house has been crowd
