Tue HERITAGE OF REVENGE. 1t. is assert
ed by the English press that in the will OF the
late Countess of Loudon occurs this. singular
request: ....t.,,i
~ further wish my right hand to be cut off
and buried in the park 1T Castle Donington, ae
the bend of the hill to the Trent, and small
cross or stone over it. with the, motto, i byde
my tyne" II ..3u
The explanation of this is thus given by a
contemporary: This bend OF the hill to the
Trent overlooks country-seat OF the Queen OF
England. When Victoria was yet xlrl, be-
fore her marriage, but after her coronaslon'
younger sister of the Countess OF Loudon was
her maid of honor She was aygay, beautiful
girl, and from her thoughtless gaiety and free,
dom of manner, gossips were enabled to spread
false, but damaging rumors to her fame. The
young Queen, instead of shielding her protege,
gave open couutenauce to the scapdai-mongers
and banshed the young beauty from her court.
A year afterward she died of broken heart,
but not until the scandal was proved untrue:
The evil done was incurabIe. $And from that
time the Countess of -Loudon abjured all love
and respect tor the Queen. She refused to ap-
pear at court, or in public on any royal .fete
day, saying always that her murdered sister 8
wrongs would be revenged. The solemn def
ance provided for in her WILL proves the bitter
ness OF her lasting resentment. &c.

GRAND RIDGE, March J, 1871
Editors Free Tr0dcr-I noticed in Your pa

nunt extraordinary. Now have never c"feu
much to have my name IN print win IeSa'u

knowing (as every one else does, that 'hey
are standards, the gentleman must NOT i''ahc
out, BY blowing with his own DeIio"S' ''"'
his mighty self and common breeds are
above everything else
Without giving the names OF this pack or
describing IN poetical rhapsody their tea'S,
shall simply give the details Of wolf hun'
or chase on the identical day of sad fox
hunt ,
Jacob H. and Clark NJ Moss started Tor
cov;I creek N search of game. On arriving
there the dog eager for the chase iotna Inc
trail ola wolf 1t was soon jumped ana
made of down the Illinois river, running
through the farm of Mrs. Armstrong ana
circlinr back to the starting point. II again
ran down the river, crossing the NermllIloh
near Deer Park then running in circles IN Il
large body of timber, until after the hunters
came I'd. they not being able to cross with
their noble steeds," tied them up and went
on foot. After travelling several miles, the
wolf and hounds again took down the river,
when the hunters throwed up. lnthclr course
the wolf and hounds crossed the farm OF Geo
II. Coleman, Esq, who took up the chase,
Fl
running distance of eight miles west OF
him into The county Of Putnam. The hounds
had the wolf down several times and would
have killed it had it not taken the water, but
the dogs being discouraged at previous futile
attempts 10 kill it, refused to follow IN, and
the wolf escaped,
Mr. Coleman knowing the distance says
they run on an airline twcnty-cight miles.
The time occupied in the race was eight
hours Now to the man who thinks he has
the fastest hounds that ever ran offer Il chal-
lenge to run on any ground or any way that
suits. j. II. VI.

FINANCIAL 81 COMMERCIAL.

Business has been very quiet during inc pass
week, the bad road, preventing the marketing o
grain aud produce. Trade in all branches Ia,
been confined to necessities Of life.
In the money market there is no ma'crl"
change TO note. The supply OF funds Tor lohI
time loans is good, and parties having first class
security find no difficulty in getting what they
need at the usual rate. For short time loans inc
supply is fair and the banks generally accommo'
date their regular customers. The market seems
to be working little easier.
In Chicago the market is reported very easy on
