MORE PERSONAL.

There was another old family present at the circus to-day—
the Leicesters, from Ballston Spa. They descended from either
Lord Leicester, Earl of Dudley, or from C. Edwards Leicester
of New York, who afterward became the “glory and shame of
England.” They made a good
thing supplying the English army
with eggs and milk during their
march through Saratoga County.
They live on a princely estate, and
furnish squash and spinach daily
to Congress Hall.
