The London papers describe a curious
commemorative monument that is to be
witnessed in one OF the most trouuented
thotonghtares Of the English metropolis.
An obseryant spectator will notice that
the first floor windows Of large house at
Lhe cornerol Howard st, present peculiar
appearance. The shutters are up, and
and they are covered thickly with dust,
while through the chinks can be seen the
blinds, also thick with dust, and moulder-
ing away with age These shutters and
binds have been in exactly the same po-
Sitlon, untouched. tor about fifty wears.
During that time no human loot it is
believed, has entered that room. And
the reason is this; Fifty years ago a GER
tam nobleman was engaged to be married,
the day was fixed, the wedding morning
arrived, the breakfast was laid ont in that
~paciouS and handsome room, the bride
groom was ready to proceed to church,
when it was discovered that the bride
was missing; a note in her handwriting
was found addressed to the bridegroom,
briefly informing him that she had eloped
THAT morning with his chest man. Il gay
and gallant captain of Dragons The tilt
ed bridegroom did not say much but he
went alone TO the room in which the we'd
ding breakfast was laid out, with his own
hands put up the shutters and drew the
blinds, locked the doorand took the key. lie
gave orders that the door should be nailed
up and barred with padlocked bars, and
mat no one should enter the room again.
When the house was let it was stipulated
that the room in question should remain
untouched, and sum OF goo per an
mum was paid to the tenant to compensate
him for the deprivation Of the use of the
room. The nobloman has been dead some
wears, but il is believed the room has
never been entered since he closed it. and
there are the % wedding meats mouder-
mo silently away, and the ornaments
r1mblin2 into dust in the funeral gloom.

Oregon has cereal which looks like
wheat, rye, and barley, and isn't either OF

A WEALTHY YOUNG MAN. The Boston
journal announces that on Christmas Dav
Of this year Joshua Montgomery Sears at
tanned his majority. The father left an es-
tate valued at his death in 1857 at about
one million six hundred thousand dollars,
which he placed in the hands of Alpheus
Hardy, uoratio Harris and Hugh Mont
gomc1y to hold in trust. The education
OF the son has been carefully looked after
by MI. Hardy, who is known to many of
our citizens as summer visitor at Bar
Ilarbor, where he owns cottage; and
the business OF the estate has been SO iu-
dlciously managed that its total valuation
is now estimated in the vicinity of nine
millions. The investments are largely in
real estate, and the city Of Boston is in
debted to the good taste of the trustees of
the Sears property for the erection of
its noblest business structures. The will
of the late Mr. Sears was somewhat pecu-
liarly worded, but the son has large for
tune to start with and it is likely that the
whole property will fall into his hands
