r. Our own experience was, doubtless, like that of others, and as more houses were built the family cow (and pig as well) was crowded out. Now nobody sees the quart measures of those days. After a time the practice of leaving each customer's supply in a small can came in vogue, and this is superseded by the glass bottles, with dealer's name, and of duly prescribed size, all according to law. The Mr. Hadley who preceded J. E. Ober may have succeeded Mr. Milliken. Mr. Ober sold out to Lockhart & Munsey; and there was T. H. Nourse, who also came from the Foot of the Rocks; also a Mr. Hobbs. These were the advance guard of the present army of local milkmen. In Mr. Wait's reminiscences, which follow, there is ample opportunity to read between the lines by comparison with present-day methods, remembering that the first railroad train passed through Medford only ten years before his driving milk wagon, and that the men he mentions relied mostly on their Boston customers' patronage

Federal Court--Judge Halyburton presiding. --In the U. S. Circuit Court yesterday, the Grand Jury returned true bills against Capt. Lockhart, of the "Storm King." for engaging in the slave trade, and against two foreigners interested in the same enterprise. The crew of the vessel were discharged from further prosecution, but detained in jail as witnesses in the case. A true bill was returned against John Gaskins, for purloining letters, and against Frederick Brooks, a negro, for a similar offence. The Grand Jury will meet again to-day, to consider other cases.

Federal Court. --Antonio Fernandez and Joseph Silva, indicted for engaging in the slave trade on board the brig Storm King, were arraigned before Judge Halyburton yesterday. The same jury that tried Calleros were sworn in these cases. But one witness was introduced, and the jury, under instructions, promptly returned a verdict of >"not guilty." The trial of Capt. Lockhart will probably take place on the 25th inst., and we hope the result will be the same. We imagine that under existing circumstances, the most minute points would have to be proved beyond possibility of controversy, to induce a jury to convict a man of piracy because he was found on board a vessel with a cargo of Africans.

The Brig Storm King. --The reason of the delay in Capt. Lockhart's trial, is stated to be that the District Attorney is making an effort to hunt up more evidence. After taking the testimony of all the crew, the persons found in command of the vessel, and in charge of the negroes, were promptly acquitted by the jury. It was proved that the vessel was transferred on the coast of Africa, and the inference is clear, to our mind, that Mr. Lockhart was a passenger, on his way to his home in th persons found in command of the vessel, and in charge of the negroes, were promptly acquitted by the jury. It was proved that the vessel was transferred on the coast of Africa, and the inference is clear, to our mind, that Mr. Lockhart was a passenger, on his way to his home in the United States. Then why should he not have an equal chance of acquittal with the foreigners, who are now at liberty, while he remains confined in jail? We think this is the view the public will take of the case.

Piracy. --Capt. Lockhart and the other prisoners arrested on board the "Storm King," and held for trial before the U. S. Circuit Court in January, are treated as pirates by the United States laws, and as such will be arraigned; but to convict them will be another and a different thing. In no single instance, that we know of, has any man engaged in the African slave trade been convicted, and as long as the Abolitionists of the North keep up their howls and growls at the slavery of the Sout to convict them will be another and a different thing. In no single instance, that we know of, has any man engaged in the African slave trade been convicted, and as long as the Abolitionists of the North keep up their howls and growls at the slavery of the South, none will be. The history of the arrest of the "Storm King," and the position of Lockhart and others to that vessel, will prove interesting to the general reader, when given, and may show that some of them, at least, are not guilty.

ar; seven of them were steamers and three sailing vessels — stood south for Ocracoke, where we put in and landed several persons. Started immediately for Beaufort, but it was too dark to cross the bar when it was reached, and we were compelled to run for New Inlet, which we crossed and arrived safely at Wilmington. Left Smithville at 5 A. M. on Friday, and reached this port on the afternoon of the same day. When off Bull, saw a large U. S. steamer, with a walking-beam, steering northeast, and off this bar found two vessels, not keeping up the blockade — at least, they were unable to keep out the Gordon. Capt. Lockwood deserves great credit for the skill and good judgment which has characterized his management of the steamer, he having successfully run the blockade at several ports, and frequently been chased by war steamers. Mr. Lockhart, the Chief Engineer of the Gordon, it is unnecessary to say, stands at the head of his business, and can make a steam engine do almost anythin

cause, may be fructified and quickened into furious life. Juvenile counselled mothers to ask of the gods for their children, not form, beauty, or earthly possessions, but "a sound mind in a sound body." Dr. Samuel Johnson, whose intellectual and moral structure was alike grand and powerful, passed all his mighty days under the dread of an intellectual eclipse. Sir Walter Scott had a melancholy presentiment of the attack of brain disease of which he died. His son-in-law and biographer, Mr. Lockhart, gives an affecting statement of the slow, gradual, reluctant conviction which forced itself upon him, when writing at the dictation of Scott, near the close of his eventful life, that the mighty mind was losing something of its energy; that, though the faculties were there and occasionally displaying themselves in full vigor, the sagacious judgment and unrivalled memory were occasionally at fault. "Among the cords the fingers strayed, And an uncertain warbling made." Ever

in London. though of Scandinavian extraction, in the year 1816. When seventeen years of age, the Spanish war then attracting the attention of Europe, he volunteered to serve under Zumalcarregul, in the Basque Provinces, and speedily arose to be Captain of Zumalcarregul's body guard, Knight of S, Ferdinandete. The Elliott Convention, the paternity of which is ascribed to Col. Gurwood, the editor of Wellington's dispatches, sent young Henningsen to England, where justice was done him by Mr. Lockhart, in an article in the Quarterly Review, on Henningsen's History of the war in Spain. This work won him the favor and friendship of both wellington and South, who had been rival commanders in the Peninsula war. Returning to Spain, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, before he was twenty, he was indebted to a fortunate accident for his first important command. Gen. Delacy Evans met the Spanish forces near San Sebastian, and offered battle. The Spanish General pretended to be sick; his c

rock at the foot of Price's mountain crossed over the Rich Patch into Alleghany, striking Jackson's river three miles above the railroad depot. They charged Colonel Jackson's small guard at the turnpike bridge, four miles above the depot, crossed it, and burned it behind them, as you know, and continuing their march rapidly through Covington burned also the bridge over Jackson's river at that place. Marching by Callahan's, they left the White Sulphur road two miles beyond that stand at Mrs. Lockhart's. Taking to a mere bridle path, as it were, they fled across the mountain and reached Anthony's creek, in Greenbrier, where they continued their robberies on that and Little creek probably as much from necessity as inclination. The weather was dreadfully Inclement, and their trains and supplies were gone. Many were frosted. Averill himself was reduced to the necessity of clothing his frostbitten feet in sheep skin, the wool turned in. They stripped the country of provisions and horse
