above Water Lane in the town of
Bridgewater. Mr.. Bloods attention
was divided between his task and the
stream of humanity in the narrow
street below; a stream which poured
for the second time that day towards
Castle Field, where earlier in the aft
ernoon Ferguson. the Dukes chap
lain, had preached a sermon contain
ing more treason than divinity.
These struggling, excited groups
were mainly composed of men with
green boughs in their hats and the
most ludierous of weapons in their
hands. Some, 1t is true, shouldered
fowling pieces, and here and there
a sword was brandished: but more of
them were armed with clubs. and
most of them trailed the mammoth
pixies fashioned out of scythes, as
formidable to the eye as they We're
clumsy to the hand. There were
weavers, brewers, carpenters, smiths,
masons, bricklayers, cobblers, and
representatives of every other of the
trades of peace among these impro
vised men of war. Bridgewater. like
Taunton, has yielded so generously of
its manhood to the service of the
