A CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACr.-During
the reign of Charles I. a country girl came
to London in search of place as servant
maid, but not succeeding she hired herself to
carry. out beer from warehouse, and was
one of those called tub-women. The brew
er, observing good looking girl in this low
occupation, took her into his family as a
servant, and after a short time married her.
He died while she was yet young woman,
leaving her the bulk of his fortune. The
business of brewing was dropped. Mr..
Hyde was recommended to the young wo'
man as most skilful lawyer, to arrange her
husbands affairs. Hyde, who was after
wards Earl of Clarendon, finding the
widows fortuLe was considerable, married
her. By this marriage there was no other
issue than daughter, who afterwards be-
came the wife of James II, and mother of
Mary and Anne, queens of England.

ed and is by far the best number OF that al
ways excellent paper. It seems to increase
in interest as the organization it represents
grows in popularity, but we imagine that
the Journal is now about as good as it can
be. whilst the Valley Association is every
day extending the sphere of its benefits The
success OF the company has certainly been
marvellous. Ere the first year uf its exis-
tence is completed the amount of policies
issued exceeds twelve hundred thousand. and
every DAY brings in additional members. An
organization so well conducted and admira-
bly, managed, deserves the success that has
attended it, and we should like to see every
man in the State, espe cially men whose fam.
lies are dependent upon their personal exer-
tions, a member of is.
The October number Of the Journal will
be double edition numbering over 5000
copies, and will be designed for special dis
tributon at the Fair. 1t will be sent to
every neighborhood of the county, and adj
