Colonial Relic.

Miss Hitchborn daughter of Chief Naval Constructor Phillip Hichborn, has recently come into possession of an interesting colonial specimen. It is a desk that was in the possession of the Hichborn family at the time of the Boston tea party. Many years ago it it was taken to Sandy Point, Me., by an ancestor, and has only lately been shipped to Miss Hichborn’s home in Washington.—Boston Herald.
