Make your homes radiant within with every social virtue, and beautiful without by those simple adornments of which nature is everywhere so prolific. The children born in such homes will leave them with regret, and come back

in after life as pilgrims to a holy shrine; the town on whose hills and in whose vales such homes are found will live forever in the hearts of its grateful children.

The foregoing records the facts, so far as I know them, in the direct line of our family; but some, if not all, mentioned in the following sketches are probably remotely related to us, and therefore, it seems to me, that the incidents narrated can scarcely fail to interest all bearing our name.

HION. JOHN GELLIBRAND HUBBARD, F.R.S.

Eldest son of the late John Hubbard, born in 1805, early devoted himself to commercial pursuits, and is the head of the firm of Hubbard & Co., Russia merchants in London. He is a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire, a director of the Bank of England, and Chairman of the "Public Works Exchequer Loan Commission," and represented Buckingham in Parliament. He has written able pamphlets on monetary questions, a vindication of a fixed Duty on Corn, published in 1842; The Currency of the Country, in 1843, which the late Mr. McCulloch called “a valuable tract in favor of a single bank of issue."

Mr. Hubbard was Deputy Governor of the Bank of England two years, from April, 1851. He was then elected Governor, and served two years; thus nearly all his time and thoughts were occupied with the government of the Bank for four years; but he had always taken such an interest in the working of the institution that the vast responsibility was most agreeable to him. He lost his seat in Parliament when the last Reform Bill took from the borough of Buckingham one of her members.

He now waits a general election to present himself as a candidate for the representation of the city of London, in response to a requisition signed by the leading conservatives.

W. E. HUBBARD, HORSHAM, ENGLAND,

deserves honorable mention here, though known on this side of the Atlantic chiefly as a munificent annual donor to that noble institution, the British and Foreign Bible Society.

BURNING OF GROTON.

We may imagine the exposures and perils of our forefathers from the fact, that on the 13th of March, 1676, nearly all of Groton, Mass., was reduced to ashes by the Indians.

I have never known a Hubbard that was not patriotic and ready to defend the liberty of his country. Captain Joseph Hubbard commanded a company of fifty, sent from Groton to Boston, in 1746, to repel an expected attack of the French Fleet, in command of the Duke D'Anville. In May, 1787, Isaac Hubbard was chosen the representative of the town of Concord.

THE HUBBARD HOUSE.

British troops were very expeditious in destroying all the public stores. A considerable quantity of flour was stored in the malt-house of Mr. Ebenezer Hubbard. They beat off the boards of one end of the house, and scattered the flour in the street.

I visited the house in which he lived at the time of the Concord fight, and found it occupied by a son of the above, bearing the same name, about ninety years old, who pointed out to me the site of the old malt-house, a relic of which I brought away. I am also indebted to him for much. valuable information. The present Ebenezer Hubbard is known as the first manufacturer of lead-pencils in this country.
