e epce in Ea>ton Col. HambletOn and his family
c were absent from the County, and his house
o closed except to his servants, who remained

s some other prominent members of the Confer
d ence, with dinner aud had thrown open tn
!. dining room and parlOrs, and probabl
n thought for the nOnCe that they were the GOnt
,e fde owners of the mansion and all therein
h At all events, the coachman exhibited tn
le ColonePs horses and carriages with more of a
n air Of pride and OstentatiOn than tn
he owner would have ever thought of doing to an
