From the Miner's Journal
Queen Victoria and her Ancestors.
Guelph is the name of the family that has oc
cupied the British Throne since 1713, a period of
136 years.
Victoria, who is now thirty years of age, of a
remarkable youthful appearance, of pleasing and
affable manners, distinguished foi all the virtues
which adorn a lady, a wife and mother, is the
Grand-daughter of George III. Her father, Ed
ward Guelph, Duke of Kent, died January 23d,
1820, a few months after her birth, and six days
before the death of George III. Her husband,
Prince Albert of Saxe Gotha, very nearly of her I
own age, possesses a handsome person and a fine
address,jtnd speaks the English language ingreat
purity, and is distinguished for his social and do
mestic virtues. No man in Great Britian is more
universally popular. Her eldest son, Prince of
Wales, and heir apparent to, the Throne, is about
eight years old. Twelve years since, she as a
sovereign succeeded her Uncle William, who died
June 20th, 1837.
William IV. reigned 7 years. Consequently he
ascended the Throne in 1830, upon the death of
his brother George. His widow, adelaide, the
Qeen-dowager, is still living, and receives from
government a yearly income ol $500,000.
George IV. reigned 10 years, from the death of
his father, George III. in 1820.
George III. reigned 60 years from the year 1760,
succeeding his Grand-father George II. His
father Frederick, Prince of Wales, died several
years before.
George the II. filled the throne 33 years from
1727. He was the son of George I. Both he
and his father were born and educated in Germa
ny. George (Guelph) I, reigned 13 years from 1714
when Queen Anne, the last of the Stuarts, expired
in the twelfth year of her distinguished reign. He
could not speak the English language. He was
the Grand-son of James I.
James (Stuart) I. in whose reign the translation
of the Bible now in general use was made, was
crowned in 1603. He was the first English King
of the family of Stuart. In 1702, one hundred
years after, wanting one year, the last soveriegn
of that family ascended the Throne. James I.
was the Great Great Grand-son of Henry VII, the
first monarch of the Tudor family
Henry (Tudor) VII. began to reign in 1485,
seven years before the discovery of America, and

at his own expense, the first ship of the British
Navy, and called it The Great Harry. This is
the beginning of the greatest naval power ever
known. From Henry VII. to Victoria are twelve
generations, as follows : Henry (Tudor) VII.,
Margaret Queen of Scotland, James V. of Scot
land, Mary Queen of Scots, (beheaded,) James
(Stuart,) I. of England VI. of Scotland, Princess
Elizabeth, Princess Sophia, George (Guelph) I.
George II. Frederick Prince of Wales, George
III. Edward Duke of Kent, Victoria.
From the death of Henry VII. in 1509, to the
death of Queen Anne, a space of 205 years, no an
cestor of Queen Victoria was on the Throne of
England, except James I.
Queen Victoria is a descendant of Henry II.
who through his mother was a descendant of Eg
bert, the first King of England, crowned in 827.
All her ancestors through this period of more than
a thousand years have a place in history, e. d. s.

Chased by a Catamount.
A THRILLING SCENE IN TtlE LIFE OF A PIONEER.
I was once told a thrilling adventure of the
first settler in Paris, Maine, wiih a catamount.
Although I cannot relate, it with that lively ef
fect with which it was lold ma, still I have, em
bodied the facts in this sketch.
1 had been on a hunting excursion, and as 1
was returning, I fell in with that oft-described
personage, " the oldest inhabitant." He kind
ly accosted me, and I gladly entered into con
versation with him.
Young man',' said he. ' when I first visited
this town, there were only three families living
in it. You, who now live in ease, can never
know the hardships and perilous scenes through
which the earlier settlers passed. Come with
me,' he continued, 4 and I will show you the
exact spot on which the first hut ever erected
in this town was located.'
I followed silently, until the old man reached
the bottom of the west side of Pari3 Hill.
' There,' said he, 4 on this spot was erected
the hut. I shall never forget the first time I
visited it, and the story I was told.'
4 What was it V I asked.
'I will tell you. When tho first settler
moved here, his nearest neighbor lied twenty
miles distant, in the present town of Rurnford,
and the only road between the two neighbors
was a path that he had cut through tho woods
himself, so that in case of want or sickness, he
might get assistance. One spring, L think it
was the third season after he had settled here,
he was obliged to go to Rumford after provi
sions. He arose early one morning, and siart
ed for his nearest neighbor. People of the
present day would think it hard 10 make a jour
ney of twenty miles for a bag of potatoes, and
on foot loo; but such was the errand of the
first setiler. lie arrived before noon, was suc
cessful in getting his potatoes, got some re
freshments, and started for home. But it was
not very easy to travel with a load of potatoes ;
and, finally, at sundown he threw off his load,
and resolved to make a shelter, and spend the
night. 1 have been with him to the exact lo
cality of it ; it was situated just the other side
of ihe stream on which are mills, in the village
now known as Pmhook in Woodstock. He
built a sheltor, struck a fire, and took out of his
pack a piece of meat to roast. Ah; young
man,' continued the narrator, 'you little know
with what relish a man eats his food in the
woods ! but as I was saying he commenced
; roasting his meat, when he was startled by a
I crv so bnn11 lhat ne kew at once it could
' come from nothing but a catamount. 1 will
now relate u to you as near as 1 can
in the
language of the old settler himself :
1 listened a moment,' said he, and it was
repeated even louder, and it seemed nearer than
before. My first thought was for my own safe
ty. But what was. I to do ? It was at least
ten miles to my home, and there was not a sin
gle human being nearer than lhat to me. 1
first thought of self-defence; but I had nothing
to delend myself with. In a moment I con
cluded to tart for home, for I knew the nature
of the catamount too well to think I should stand
the least chance of escape, if I remained in
the camp. I knew, too, lhat he would ransack
my camp, and 1 hoped that the meat which I
left behind might satisfy his appetite, so that
he would not follow me after eating it.
1 I had not proceeded more than half a mile
before I knew by the shrieks cf the animal that
he was in sight of the camp, I doubled my
speed, content that the beast should have my
supper; although I declare that I would not
have run if I had had my trusty rifle with me.
But there could be no cowardice in my running
from an infuriated catamount, doubly furious,
probably, by being hungry, and I with nothing
that could be called a weapon, save a pocket
knife.
' I had proceeded, probably, about two-thirds
of the distance home, and hearing nothing

had left behind two pounds of meet, beef and
pork, which I hoped had satisfied tho ferocious
monster. Just as I had come to the conclu&inn
that I would run no more, and was looking
back, astonished almost at the distance I had
travelled in so short space of time, I was elec
trified with horror to hear the animal shriek
again.
1 I then knew my worst fears wore realized.
The beast had undoubtedly entered the camp,
and ale what he could find, and thon had scent
ed my track and followed after me. It was
about threo miles to iny log cabin, and it had
already become dark. I doubled my speed; but
1 fell ihat I must die. And such a death! The
recollection of that fooling comes io my mind aa
vividly as though I knew the animal was now
pursueing me. But I am no coward, though to
be torn in pieces, arid almost eaten alive by a
wild beast, was horrible !
4 1 calmly unbuttoned my frock, with tho de
termination to throw it off before ihe beasi
should approach me, hoping thereby to gain ad
vantage of hTm by the time he would loose in
tearing j.t to pieces.
4 Another shriek, and I tossed the garment
behind ,cne in the path. Not more than five
minutes ejapsed before I heard a. shrill cry as
he came to ij. How jhai. shriek olectrified
me! I bounded like, a deer, J3ut in a mo-
ment the animal made another cry, wmcn toiu
me plainly thai the garment had only exasper
ated him to a fiercer chaso.
! Oh God !' said I, 'and must I die thus-! I
can, I must live for my wife and children,' and
I ran even faster ihan"I had done before, and
unbuttoning my waistcqai, 1 dropped it ip .the
path as I proceeded,.. The ihouglits of my wife

In a moment j the whole eveftts of my lif-

crowded to my brain. The hot blood coursed
hrough my veins with a torrent's force ! The
catamount shrieked louder and louder, and as
fast as I was running, ho was rapidly approach
ing me. Nearer and nearer he came, until I
fancied I could hear his hounds. At last I
came to the brook which you see yonder, and
it was double the size which it is now, lor ii
was swollen by recent freshets, and I longed
to cool my fevered brain iiiit ; but f knew that ;
would be as certain death to me as to die by I

sained tho onuosite bank, and then I could
opposite
cleat !y see a light in my iog cabin which was
not more than one hundred rods distant.
4 1 had not proceeded but a short distance,
before I heard the plunge of the catamount be
hind me. 1 leaped with more. than human en
ergy, for it was now life or death. In a mo
ment the catamount gae another wild shriek,
a8 though he was afraid he should lose his prey. (

back to my mind. The catamount was not so
far from me as I was from the house. I
dropped my hat, the only thing I could leave
to stay the progress of the beast. The .next
moment I fell prostrate in my own cabin.'
Here the old settler paused and wiped the !
big drops from his brow, ere he continued :
