Eof the Cadets went through the Battalion
drill, 6rings, &c. with an accuracy very

Of his former lectures.
After this, the exhibition in Fencing
took place. Here was seen very plainly,
the effect of exercise upon the bodily pow
ers. Some little lads showed vigour of
muscle, and capability of enduring vio-
lent exertion, which to us was truly aston
ishing. In the. evening, splendid ball
was given by the Cadets.

should support the present administration in
their wrong measures is nat at all surprising.
II Others pursue the same course, we cannot
help It; but shall express our adherence at
all times of their conduct, and our regret that
they are located among us. Duplcity, and
the fulsonne aduation Of sycophants may be |
pleasant to some; but great majority of the |
American people would despise the creature
who should be guilty Of it, and dctcst their

We have reason to fear starving from want
of patronage, when we read such denuncia-
tons as the above in the Hartford Times. !
Surely the republicans Of Litchfeld County
will execrate orr conduct, and where they
have yielded hearty support to our establish
ment, they will speedily withdraw it, as being
| applied to an unworthy object.-Butt to be SCI
rious upon the subject, we have no reason to |
doubt what we have often heard repeated, |
that Mr. Wells is quite young man, and but
little acquainted with men and manners. With |
