At a Whig festival got up in Boston in his honor, at which he and 1,200 other Whigs were present, there were drunk 2,300 bottles of champagne, two bottles to each man.

Mr.Clay attended balls at the Springs.

He had a slave with him to wait on him and hand him water to clear out his throat while he was speaking; and this while he was preaching liberty and declaring what a fine thing this freedom is! While at New Rochelle Susan becomes greatly interested in the culture of silk-worms, upon which the principal was experimenting.

She writes home full descriptions and urges them to ascertain if black mulberry trees grow about there; she herself knew of one.

She insists that the sisters can teach school and take care of the silk-worms at the same time, but evidently receives no encouragement as no more is heard of the project.
