The Romance of Bird. Brook.

It is not generally known that the settle
ment Of New London was commenced under
the authoriry os Massachusetts,. John Win
throp, its 70 under bore a commission from
the governu ent of that colony. 1t was first
called ''The Plantation of Nameaug," and its
bounds extended on the west to a small
stream two miles west of Mantle, now Man
tic Bay, which was called by the Indians
Sunkipaug. 1t issues from a pond of the
same name and falls into the sound between
Black Point md Giants Neck
During thu first winter after the settle
ment-the winter of l646-at a time when
the whole CO intry was covered with a deep
snow, the incident that caused the naming of
this stream and lake Bride Brook and Lake
occurred application was made to Mr..
Winthrop IT, 60 to Saybrook and unite q
young couple in marriage, there being in that
place no person duly authorized to off1ciate
on such an occasion; but he had been COM
missioned by Massachusetts, and could not le-
gally fasten the nuptial knot in Saybrook,
which was under the jurisdiction of Con
necticut He proposed therefore to meet
them half way on the brink Of the little
stream that was his western boundary The
proposition vas accepted, and there Win
throp, accompanied by party from his plan
tatlOn, met le Drldal uain from Saybrook
and the rite was performed In conclusion
Winthrop gave the name of Bride Brook to
the stream, ty which it has ever since been
known. The pond is also called Bride Lake.
The annals of history can furnish but few
incidents more striking than the Bride Brook
marriage Al the accessories of the scene
are picturesque and impressive. The little
company stood in the midst of a dreary waste
Of snow, from any human habitation at
this time excepting the huts Of savages. An,
cient forests and immense solitudes were
around them, beyond which in shadowy
magnifcence vast and indefinite, lay the un.
explored wor Id, on whose brink they stood.
We might ptrchance add to these features
the stalwart forms of natives, a tribe Of whom
dwelt not far from the place, darting among
the trees or looking On at q distance. The
Sound Breeze.

admiration of all. His arguments were
full and convincing. infusing an inter

objections which we hear, by mauy,
urged, against free public schools,
were met, discussed and set at naught
with force which facts. eloquently
stated always creates and with an ease
worthy and orator of ripper years and
experience. Every member of the

none other, upon the same subject,
lately heard in our midst. We con.

A. daring act has Just been performed
at Montlucon by a young woman Of 10
Mademoiseue Jobard, who is the dauGh-
ter Of cafe keeper. She had manifested
a deep interest in Pezons menagerie
since its arrival in the town, and it ap-
pears that the lion. tanner, either through
pure fun or because MademOiselle Jobard
made light Of his exploits among the
wild beasts, defed her to enter the
largest of the dens with him. The chal-
lenge was accepted with a light heart,
and all Montlucon turned TO witness the
spectacle.
Principally at the time appointed the
daughter of the cafe keeper appeared on
the carpet attired in her best, and escorted
by PezOn she entered the cage amid the
plaudits of those who had assembled in
the vague hope OF witnessing her demoli-
ton. Mademoiselle JObard was slightly
nervous at first, but after few moments
she walked around the cage with PezOn,
the lion and lioness watching her lazily
from their corners. Finally the intrepid
young woman stepped cut of danger
without a feather in her hat being
damaged, and the spectators instantly
dubbed together and presented her with
two splendid bouquets.-London Teie-
