Boston, its Female Equestrians, &C.
A letter writer for the New York DIS
patch, in recent epistle from the A" Lit
erary Emporum," says that the vicinity
Of Boston has many charming views and
situations. Among the most delightful
drives are those to Roxbury, Brighton,
Mount Auburn, Brookline, and the ave-
nues leading from Brookline to Jamaica
Plains. On the fremont road yesterday
| saw as Inany carriages, wagons, gigs,
and holsemen and women, az either OF
your famous avenues often turn out The
ladies hereaway ride elegantly and one in
particular attracted much attention yes
terday by her superior skill. There was
symptoms Of shower, and no Field Mar
sha ever sat galloping horse with more
ease than did this elegant romp. She left
all her company far in the distance. Tier
figure was elegant, her attire just as Dl
Vernon's should be: her manners free aud
unaffected: but bless me, am running
into rhapsody. / such are the Yankee
girls, we can excuse the Yankee men for
boasting of them. In all l meet, an IN
teliectuaI cast Of counlenance predomi-
mates. There are few rigid followers OF
" the ton;' and the bellies generally ap-
pear 10 exercise their power in making

frippery Of the creatures, and the dit tales

still abroad, and | verify believe they

that Boston girls are bound to follow fash

ance to any tyranny; and are content
each to dress her own way. There is an
individuality in the costume OF every
woman you meet, which shows to some
extent the character OF her mind.

a general row, all in good humor however.
The facts OF the case being explained to
the Governor, he was infinitely delighted.
and at the dinner table toasted-he Sheria
in full glass for following so closely the
instructions Of the little Lawyer, "say
after me-"
Not long after the above occurrence
the Circuit Court Of Hancock County
came on. The Judge arrived, all things
were ready for Court to be opened; and.
it being the first time this Sheriff had
held court, he did not exactly under
stand what TO say in opening.
The Judge took his seat with great dig
nifty and said, "Open the Court, Mr.,
Sheriff" The Sheriff whipped into the
bar to our little Lawyer and asked him
what he must say to open the Cour?
The Lawyer was busy writing, and
remarked in hurried manner, 90 to the
door and l will tell you" The Sheriff
went to the door and waited minute,
and looked over his shoulder at the Law
yer inqnringly, and said +" ALPS ready"
"Well say'O yes, three times. ~"
go ye.s three tim e-s," repeated
the Sheriff in stentorian voice. .
"There--now you've done it," said the
Lawyer in sneer.
| "T-h-e-r-e dow y.o u-'-v.e dome
it," continued the Sheriff, looking over
his shoulder for further Instructions.
The Lawyer arose in anger saying" !
think in my soul you are the greatest
jolt." !.
The Sheriff repeated 81 think in
m.y"-by this time the Lawyer layed hold
of him violently and stopped him. Our
little Lawyer was heard TO say about thai
time, that he despaired of ever making
any thing Of the Sheriff Of Hancock
County.

Original Anecdote of Washington.

Original Anecdote of Washington. -
General Washington, while engaged in
the arduous duties of the revolution, was
called TO leave Cambridge where he was
then located, to go TO Maiden on some
business of Importance. Accompanied
by his aid .de-camp he mounted his steed
and started for Maiden while the sun
poured down its schorching rays with
more than common intensity. Having
arrived at Maiden, and being somewhat
thirsty and futigued by their jonrney,they
called at neat looking house and iuquir-
ed Of the landlady if she would furnish
them with some beer. Being answered
in the affirmative, they dismounted from
their horses and securing them proceeded
to the house. After they had sufficiently
refreshed themselves with the cooling
beverage, and held quite merry conver-
'sation with The ladies, they again we're
ready to proceed on their journey. But
the aid-de-camp while unloosing his horse
accidentally knocked rock from the wall.
The general seeing that he was not in-
clined to pick it up, kindly asked him to
replace it; he replied that he would leave
that for the next man to do, and then
mounted his horse. The general with
looks Of disappiobation pictured on his
countenance again dismounted from his
steed and replaced the rock himself, at
the same time saying that it was always
his rule 10 leave a tsnce az no found it.
