gave us slender entertainment, but MT. Aller- l ton being there, sent his pinnace, rescued us and took of us greate good care, procured us another vessel and started us on our way.'' From the New Netherlands, he came to the then discouraged and well nigh impoverished Colony of New Haven: It is difficult to say | why he should have selected such 8 small l field for commercial pursuits as New Haven offered at the time.
 The exact date of his settling here is unre- l corded. Winthrop speaks of him ln Decem- Der, 1914:
 'Mr. Allerton coming from New Haven in his vessel with his wife and divers other per | sons were taken in a great storm at north east with much snow, and cast away at Scitu- ate bar, the persons all saved" We, howev r, do know that he was resi- dent here in 1646, for at the general seating in the meeting house (which stood just west of where the liberty pole now stands) of that
 year MT. Allerton and his wife were each as- signed seats.
 His grant of land from the New Haven
 court embraced district west of the creek,
 (now the roadway of the Consolidated road,
 bounded on the south by the beach (Water street., and north by the present Cherry street
 At the spot where Union and Fair streets intersect MT. Allerton built his famous house-the house with the four porticoes- so known throughout the New Engand colo nies.
 From New Haven he sent his vessels to "The Bay" ''Verginia,' D Delaware Bay'' (where the New Haven settlers attempted to establish trading stations early as 1641) ''the Manhadoes" (New York; and to t'The Berbadoes." With the latter place he was at one time interested in commerce with Ensigne Bryan of Milford, the owner of the "Big Brigge."
 Mir. AIlerton was engaged in foreign com merce at the time of his death in 1859.
 His financial fate was the same which be- fell nearly all of the early settlers of the Colo ny. He died poor, and so greatly had property depreciated in value that his great house, with several acres of land buildings thereon, were appraised at but e75.
 Isaac Allerton was the only rMayhower Pilgrim" who dwelt or as far as we have any record, visited the New Haven Colony.
 He was buried in the ancient church yard in our Green. His dust lies near-posaibly under the Center church.
 MT. Allerton was twice married. His first wife, Mary, died during the terrible second winter at Plymouth. A daughter, Mary, by the first wife married Thomas oushman,

The st. Martinsville Observer pre-
SCENTS this cheerful picture despite
the predictions of knowing ones, our
crops are now much better than was
expected. The refreshing rains that we
had in September have been OF immense
benefit to both cane and cotton crops.
The opening of the bolls have been acti-
waited by them, and our fields are white
with the staple. Cotton picking is
brisk and the yield is quite as large, if
not larger, than that of last year. The
cane shoots up with vigoI, and the
prospects Of the sugar planters are now
less gloomy, A fair yield is expected,
and the planters are preparing actively
for the grinding season.

The Pointe Coupee Banner gives the
following as evidence of what industri-
Gus immigrants can do in this country +:
ga German settler on the Island cleared
six acres Of woodland last spring and
planted it in corn and cotton-these
crops being alternated, two rows
OF corn and four Of cotton. From
this field he has already put on
the market six bales of cotton and will
certainly get two more. The yield of
corn was very fine, some seventy or
eighty bushels, we did not learn the
exact amount Such examples as this
should encourage immigration"

A correspondent of the American Gull
tivator says ''In my own gardening /
have found a most satisfactory substi-
tute for beanpoles, which latter are not
only expensive, but source of trouble
and care. I plant sunhower seed by
each hill of beans, the stalk answering
the same purpose as the ordinary beam
pole, besides providing an excellent
feed for my poultry. ] have been using
Tor this purpose a mammoth variety of
sunfower seed, many of the flowers of
which measured fifteen inches across
the seed bed.

The troubles in Ireland are telling Sc
verely upon the landlords. A London
letter says: "a peers fine house in Pic
cadilly bears witness upon half dozen
pl&cards to monetary straits of those
whose fortunes are locked up in Irish
acres, Whilom the household was
large; thirty three servants tended up
on a noble master, and feasting went
on within the walls. Now all is desc
late. The said noble master has no
further occasion tor the services of his
ancient aetainerS. He is recuperating
ON the Continent, and the legend TO he
sold is written over the front door. At
6s years of ageit is hard for the de-
scendant of kings to be waiting Cd
foreign soil for the return of depart
ing prosperity

I
Would it be wise for our State
Government to let 60 the Capitol
warrants in the Same manner, in
stead Of providing to save that loss
to the people who will have to pay q
dollar for q value received Of perhaps
sixty cents?
It is a we'll known fact that the de-
cheney in the revenues lies mainly in
the present schedule Of licenses,
which, if intelligently remodeled,
would, withoutoppressing the people,
furnish ample means to bring State
warrants topaz, in the future, and put
an end to the brokerage business
which has been curse upon Louisi-
ana during SO many years.
In connection with the license
schedule We would observe that the
municipal and parochial govern
ments, being limited by its provisions
are subjected in turn to a loss of rev.
enue from that source, proportionate
with that Of the State.
As there is no license schedule for
1881, how are the paroehlal and mu-
nicipal governments, to be limited as
the constitution Provides
Will these have to wait until June
or July next, before they, like the
State, can collect any licenses, and
thus be subjected to a loss all around,
Of thousands upon thousands of
dollars, through temporary license
payers whose business will have
ceased ere the collectors have receiv-
ed their Instructions?
We could say much more to show
the existing necessity tor an extra
session, but we deem the reasons we
have already advanced sufficient to
convince Of their error, Senator
Leake, the Democrat, and others,
who have not looked at the matter
as carefully as we have taken the
trouble to do.
In advocating an extra session we
have only been actuated by that
sense of duty towards the public
welfare, which should guide every
journalist.
Having called the attention Of the
public to the existing condition of
affairs, our duty has ended.
1t now remains with the Governor
and such faithful servants of the peo-
pie as we cheerfully recognize Sena-
tor Leake to be, to say, whether the
great difficulties which surround the
public welfare, can be overcome
without the suggested extra session.
The responsibility for any error
committed, will certainly rest upon
the shoulders Of the guardians Of the
public interests and not upon ours.

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO GOV.
ERNOR WILTZ.


est shown by Gov. Wilt toward the
welfare of the University, it's distin-
guisled President, Col. Johnston, on
the sad occasion of the lamented Gov
eInOr's death, issued the following
eloquent order to the Louisiana
State Cadets, a fit tribute to an exec
utive who wisely looked upon the
establishment of the University, as
the base on which would rest the
glory and greatness ofour State:
Order No g.
La. State University g. A. & NJ. College. {
October 18th, 1881.
|. The Governor of Louisiana is dead.
His Excellency, Lonis A. Wilt, the
Chief Executive OF this State, has, after
a period Of suffering, borne with I'M
tlinching courage and christian resigna-
ton, succumbed to the insiduous dis
ease which has SO long threatened him,
and will to-day be borne to the tomb.
While the strong purpose and nndeviat-
ing devotion to the interests of his peo-
pie, which marked him for selection as
their leader, will long be remembered,
all the asperitles Of political collision are
already forgotten in "a general sympathy
with the suffering which chastened and
the fOrtitude which sustained his de-
Ginning hours.
However great may be the grief of
others, none can feel his loss more Sc
verely than the authorities, students
and friends of this University, OF which
he was the chief pillar and support
For, as President OF its Board OF Super
visors, he brought to its administration
wisdom, zeal, and thatfne business IN
telligence which made him so useful in
all the departments OF life.
Gov Wilt claimed that he would re-
gard the establishment of the University
upon Il secure and ample foundation AS
the prondest monument he could leave
of his administration. The hand of Prov
idence has prevented the fnlfllment Of
his cherished wish but the gratitude
and sorrow Of the University can at least
claim the mournful privilege Of Joining
in the general grief at his loss, and of
paying the tribute Of respect to his mem
CRY.
II. This, the day of his burial, will
be observed in this University as day
of mourning, and classes and military
exercises will be suspended until even
ing call to quarters. Cadets will attend
the Chapel services and other memorial
exercises to be held in the Churches of
this City.
Ill. The officers and students Of this
University will wear Grape on their left
arms for thirty (30) days as a badge of
