visit to Marlborough the other day. It
was pleasant thing to meet with the old
friends of other days. We regret much to
learn that Chief Judge Brent had left the

Judge Ford, and the obliging and indus
trious Judge Magruder." He dined with
them at the hospitable residence of friend
on Sunday. We say nothing of the con-
servatism put aside and the industry much

Times man was sorry to leave Marlborough,

however, did not equal the sorrow Of his
arrival, for the latter brought On the Mo-
doc attack, and a charming beauty was
rescued from our mans care.
