country We ought to give them u
cordial welcome, of course, and treat
them with due respect, but anything
beyond that is. in our judgement, alto

get that our nation, with its splendid
form of government and its population
of fifty millions, is among tho grandest
on the face of the earth, and it will
not be long before it is the very first in
dignity and Importance. If this is the
case, as We are sure it is, then does it
not belittls us to bestow undue atten-

Us through mere curiosity or for the

The Marriage or John Hancock or tns
 Continental Congress.
 It has been long legend connected with the old mansion in Fairfield, Conn.,, now oc- cupied by o. W. Jones, Esq. that in the year 1775 John Hancock, flying from the British invasion at Boston, stopped there and was married under it's hospitable roof. The following in reference to that historic event was published in the New York ob- server of May 10th, 1883:
 A Centennial Marriage. e.-On September Is, 1775, the Virginia Gazette, published at Vii iiamsburg, contained the following curious announcement of an important social event: s'FairieId, August 29.-Last evening was married at the seat of Thaddeus Burr, Esq, by the Rev. M Elliott, the Hon. John Hancock, Esq, President of the Conti- mental Congress, to Miss Dorothy Quincy, daughter of Edmund Quincy, Esq. of Bos- ton. Florus informs us that in the Second Punic War, when Hannibal besieged Rome and was very near making himself master of it, field upon which part of his army lay was offered for sale, and was immediately purchased by Roman, in strong assurance that the Roman vRlor and courage would soon raise the siege. Equal to the conduct of that illustrious citizen was the marriage of the Hon. John Hancock, Esq, who, with his amiable lady, has paid as great compl1- ment to American Valor, and discovered equal patriotism by marrying now while all the colonies are much convulsed Rs Rome when Hannibal was at her gates.

 Last evening shortly after 5 o'clock Mir. Charles Read was brought to the hospital dead, having fallen from 8 cherry tree in Orange and fractured the skull near the base.

Big Catch of Menhaden.

Steamer Falcon, owned by Futile & Co.,, of Greenport, L. l., and commanded by Cap tain Edgar Willis, has thus far proved the most successful of any vessel engaged in the menhaden fishery the present summer. Some time since Captain Willis loaded his vessel as full as she would hold and nearly as deep as she would float, with 3, 500 barrels of men- haden, and was even then compelled to abandon many barrels more that he had caught in his seine, but could not get on board. As the Falcon is the largest steamer in the business this was, perhaps, the 'arg- est catch of menhaden ever made 4s sea. The second best steamer in success is the George W. Humphreys, owned by Church Brothers, of Tiverton. These steamers cruiEe from Eastport, Me, to Norfolk, Va.
