Horace Greeley would be delighted could his labors in this line excite a similar commotion in New York. We dined to-day at the Duke of Argyle's. At dinner there were the members of the family, the Duchess of Sutherland, Lord Carlisle, Lord and Lady Blantyre, &c. The conversation flowed along in a very agreeable channel.
Joseph Anderson's classical volumes on Scotland in Pagan Times tell us something, indeed all that can now be known, of some of them, and in the Royal Commission's Reports and Inventories of the Early Monuments of Sutherland and of Caithness respectively, Mr.
Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The whole population of the great county of Sutherland is hardly so much as two-thirds of the population of Wimbledon, and, except for some minute portions, was, prior to certain recent sales, a single gigantic property.
About a dozen of our men, chiefly Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders with a lieutenant of the Fifth Fusiliers for an extraordinary intermingling of various units took place in this engagement rushed the house. Two of the Highlanders were shot down but the rest took a speedy revenge.
"No, sir; your sister's sneers, and the petty slights and persecutions for which I am indebted to her friend, Miss Sutherland, have not sufficient importance to affect me in any degree. My decision is based upon the unfortunate fact that I do not love you." "No woman can withstand such devotion as I bring you, and time would soon soften and deepen your feelings."
'You who come from a new country will not haf heard of these things, he kept telling me, but by that peat fire I made up for my defective education. He told me of evictions in the year.

She took him away in her car to her apartment for supper with her and Clélie, who was in the company, and Sperry. She kept him hour after hour, questioning him about everyone and everything in the old town, drawing him out, insisting upon more and more details.

That key she holds should open both these drawers." "Then let it be made use of at once. It is important that we should know whether theft has been committed here as well as murder." And drawing the key out, he handed it to Mr.
I don't seem to recollect you. You like the country?" "Yes." "Sho! You're just sayin' that. You want to live in town. Well, so do I. And as soon as I get things settled a little I'm goin' to take what I've got and the two thousand from your Uncle George and open up a livery stable in town." Susan's strange eyes turned upon him. "In Sutherland?" she asked breathlessly.
Robert, Willet and Tayoga with a dozen rangers went into a long boat, whence they looked up at the tall ships that carried the army, and waited as patiently as they could for the order to move. "See the big fellow over there," said Willet, pointing to one of the ships. Robert nodded. "That's the Sutherland, and she carries General Wolfe. Like the boat of Cæsar, she bears our fortunes."
