ages; that in their language and habits, the
entire people of this community were as dis
tinct from the general population of New Eng
land as are Tor were) the pratical inhabitants of
Algiers." He SAYS that the authorities of the
United States have many times taken the census
of the inhabitants Of Seabrook, and four times

| turns show that in no essential particulars do
| the inhabitants of Byfeld differ from the other
