when he saw party CT huntsmeu

field which he was especially anxious
they should not ride over, as the
horses hoofs would greatly injure the

told him to shut the gate, and keep
watch there, and on no account to
let any one 90 through it.
The boy went, and had scarcely
taken his post there before the hunts.

that he meant to obey them. They
threatened him, but he did not mind
their threats. They offered him mon.

said in commanding tones
my boy. you do not know me,
but am the Duke of Wellington, |
am not accustomed to be disobeyed,
and now l command you to open the
gate, that l and my friends may pass

The boy lifted his cap, and stood
uncovered before the man whom all
England delighted to honor, and an
swered, firmly:
"I am sure that the Duke of Vel.

orders. l must keep this gate shut

The brave old warrior was greatly

The first of the week reminded us

Monday we had considerable snow,
which lay to depth of about three
inches; but it was said to have been
six inches on the mountain few
miles from here. 1t has cleared up
again, and we hope we will have
some fair weather again.

for few days on account of the in
clement weather.

We hear of great Sunday school
interest being manifested in the
neighborhood of Highland, which
has resulted in thorough organiza-
ton as we understood. We are glad
to see an interest of this kind in every
settlement. 1t is so much better for
children, and men too, to be thus en-
gagged, than lettering around at fish
ing places, playing marbles anddoing
many other things that is contrary to
the laws of our country, and the laws
of God. / know that it is argued by
some, that this will sectarianize and
poison their minds; but | am inclined
think, that the neglect of these things,
would be more likely to bring about
such results. We now havean Inter-

The public roads are very muddy,
almost impossible in many places
with loaded wagons. COuldnot each
farmer and land owner spend few
days in ditching and filling the
marshy places with stone, and by
this means soon have good roads in
every community? Let everyone
try the experiment, and see what an
improvementcan be reached.
Every land owner ought to have
good roads on his lands; it would ma
terially add to the value of his lands
and would alsobe a great convenience
The time spent in idleness would dc
all this work. As common thing
under the present system of law regu-
lating public roads, the poor that
never travel only on foot have nearly
all the work to do that is done on our
