Madam Huntinaton,s AffabiIity.

Hon. Samuel Huntington was not a native of Norwich, but came here early. He married a daughter of the Rev. Ebenezer Devotion of Windham. She was not stylish. but thrifty, neigh bcrly, wise, and large-hearted. Miss Caulkins says: Tt was long remem- bered that in white short gown, stuff petticoat, clean muslin apron, and nicely starched cap she would take her knitting and go out by 2 o'clock in the afternoon to take tea uncere- moniously with some respectable reighbor. perhaps the butchers or the blacksmith's wife"
 Governor and Mrs. Huntington had no children; but at times nephews and nieces were with them, and these at tracted the young people to the home. Social -~n1es in the parlor were often followed by dancing on the oak floor in the kitchen. But when the curfew rang at g o'clock it "sent all visitors quietly to their homes and their beds"
 Governor Huntington was born in Windham, July 3, 1731. His father, Ma thaniel Huntington, gave liberal ed- ucation to three of his sons. who be- came ministers; but he thought Sam uel would be a mechanic, so appren- ticed him to a cooper. Thus Samuel never went to college. He studied by himself, was always learning, borrow ed law books, and became a lawyer.
 He was of fine presence, an eye vivid and penetrating He was emil nently religious, ready in the confer ence meeting or public assembly when called upon to read Scriptures or of- fer prayer He counseled and com- fortsd those near death.
