MIME .MILITIf.

rR. RUssELL-Hayng lately attended the re-
views Of some Regiments in the District OF Maine,
was remarkably impressed with the precision
and -apidty Of movements with which regi-
ment assembled at Marlborough, under the
command of Colonel ISAAC g. REED, performed
their evolutions. His Excellency the Governor
arrived the ground at quartar past three,
and left at twenty five minutes after five. In the
mean time the following movements, sc. were
made, many of which were repeated.
The Governor passed the regiment in review
the regiment formed in col mn and marched in
reyiew-performed manual and platoon exercise
without ring frings by regiments, by battal-
ions, by grand division, by companies, and by
DEMONSTRATION and deployment Of colpmns

brought forward by direct echelon of platoons

centre-same by countermarch of platoons or

changed-iine tormed-hollow square formed.
within which all the officers of the regiment were
individually presented to his ExcelIencv.
After observations made by the Commando =
Chief, and the communication of them To the
regiment by the Colonel, the colours were re-
turned, the Samp colours collected. the several
guards called in, the regiment dismissed. and his
Excellency, accompanied by the field staff & off,
GERS of the regiment, left the field.
Being struck with the correctness &rapidity with
which the first movements were performed 40.
termined to take a list Of the various exercises
of the day and the more reflect upon il the
more am convinced, that the conduct Of the off,
GERS and soldiers would have honored any re0p-
lar service. believe the militia of our counfrv
cannot furnish an instance in which so MANY ma
nGuvres were gone through with in SO short
time, and without single mistake.

&C public press is like a public fountain-
the streams issuing from it are received and

From the Middlebury, VT. Standard


A few days since, gentleman travelling
from Plattsburg to Middlebury. VT put up at
the tavern Of d. Defiance, Esq. in Essex, N.
Y. and in the night, person entered his
room, took down his coat (Which hung at the
head of bis bed) and after taking from his
pocket book about S25 in bills, was discover
cd he retreated to his room made bis es-
cape through The window, took boat from
the shore, and crossed the Lake. The peo.
pie in the house soon rallied, pursued and
took him, with the borrowed coat on. But
on making search, the money could not be
found. Ii was suspected be had swallowed il
and it was thought proper 10 make internal
search accordingly an emetic was admins
tered but no cash appeared--a secondwas
given with the like effect; but the third
brought 10 view several pieces Of a $50 bill.
He was committed for trial.

The pirit Of Emigration Our shores,
says the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 29th of
September, exhibit one of The most animated
scenes of busting emigration we have ever
witnessed. The beach of the Monongahela

with fiat boats destined for the Illinois and
other districts below the Falls of Ohio. The
great body of emigrants now are Of different

Extract of letter from Havana, dated
hpil &c, 1918.


April a6, 1918.
CT am happy to inform you that we ar
rived here on the Gath instant, after a
long passage, which was owing to the
prevalence of westerly winds. We were
boarded whilst in sight of the Moro Cas-
tie, by Carthagenian privateer ship, and
had seven Spanish prisoners put on board
Of us, when we we're permitted to pro-
coed without molestition, The prisoners
were landed on our arrival.
With respect to the markets, it IS
impossible to give you precise iniorma-
ton, not having beea permitted to sc on
shore until late yesterday.-Rice, think
will bring at least SO so; -four, hams,
lard and shoes, I think will pay some
thing, bu, it is impossible, to say what,
until we have had an opportunity to try
the market; pork is very plenty, and
will not clear cost.
Freights are very low, and difficult
to obtain. Molasses has been taken at
IS per hid. to Boston. The produce OF
the island is high, and in all probability
would not fetch cost if shipped to the L.
States.
Bills of exchange can hardly be obtain
ed on any part Of the U. States, at any
rate; and the little res=cct paid to neu-
trail vessels by the Carthagenian Priva-
teers, renders remittance somewhat IN
safe. yesterday saw the suPerearso OF
a Hamburg ship which had been captured
By them, with cargo of sugar, and he
landed at MataRzas. As yet l have not
heard Of their nolestins any Americans,
and it is to be hoped they vii! not.

A singular though curious & satisfactory
hypothesis, respecting the formation OF
clouds, has lately been published by an
Anonymous writer. He conceives them
to be not merely one continued mass or
body OF vapor, or mixed gases. but in
terspersed with bubbles Of bladders, in
flated with oxygen aud hydrogen gases.
II is known that clouds consist almost
entirely Of these gases. To illustrate
his opinion, he therefore took bladder
full OF oxygen and hydrogen gases COM
bibed, in the proportion Of Sc parts Of
the former TO IA .f the latter, and i'm
mersed the stop cock in soap suds. Tie
then inflated the bubble that hung to If,
by COMPRISING the bladder, and on pass
ing an electric spark through it, it deton-
ed with loud report, and the two mixed
gases we're converted into water, equal
in weight 70 the decemposed easses.
From this experiment he adduces the
argument, that though it frequently thun'
ders without apparent rain, yet it is only
when the thunder is at a distance; and
that invariably, as q clap Of thunder is
heard, rain falls .ander the cloud, In pro-
portion to the loudness Of the report.

says, thinking of his mistress, he fell
into a river, where the heat OF bis pas

it dubbed up and boiled the fish; inso,
much that those who came 10 take him
out, were diverted from their Cbjec' BY
the delicacy of the fish, which were swim.
