Mr.. Misunderstanding you have no New-Haven
correspondent, thought it not unlikely you would
be pleased to hear from our City of Elms. AS peo
pie you know we quiet and domestic, partaking
but little in the fashions and fashionable amusements
of the day-preferrng the enjoyments of cultvating
bles of untutored passion. sa f
When left alone to ourselves, we have sources Of
comfort and enjoyment within ourselves, and are a
neighbory, Industrious, and public spirited people
Less than two years since we began the improve
ment of our cemetery Now it is inclosed on three
sides. by wall of solid masonry nearly ten feet
high, and front fence oil iron of the same heighth
is under contract-the whole expense Of external
walls and fence, together with internal improve
ments, is about fifteen thousand dollars-nearly oil
of which is betrayed by private subscriptions. Of
this interesting and sacred spot will speak at
Their time.
Our city has been cheerful and lively since the ad-
iournment of the Legislature. 1t so long in
sion, we thought it never would leave us, and our
faces were getting quite long,
During the session of this body of Legislatures,
they extended their benevolence towards us rs a
city-informing US Of the great trouble and incon-
venience from having but one place for holding eec-
tions. Therefore they would divide US into wards !;
and thus regulate us-prevent disturbance disorder
ly conduct, &c. These points were urged very hard
upon us, particularly by those members who never
before saw our city
Now it so happened that during the session, our
City Election took place in the State House base
ment, as usual, and too, while this subject was I'M
der consideration in the House. 1t was my misfor-
tune to be fellow hoarder with about twenty-five Of
these wise men-and at the tea-table, was asked
- Where did you hold election 7 Why said l,
did not you see the and at the polls
No, not man saw it-ovcr twelve hundred votes
were poled beneath them, and not man knew
al ~la
that we had clean wing majority of6OO votes.
My next will speak of Old Yale-her progress
and prosperity-the Alumni Society-New Library
building, &C.. should il be agreeable and meet your
views. Yours, &c. JAY.
LETTERS FROM" DOWN EAST"
Boston, Medical -Thompson and Thomp-
sonism---Choriatans-M odesiy Of Impudsaee-iOr-
eign Influence, &e. ....-.
1t may not be known to the multitudes who resort
Boston for purposes Of pleasure, and health spec
ally, that the veteran manufacturer Of Thompson
ism is still living there. Reproachful this igno
rance at first appears, it is accounted for by the no.
torious fact that men of richest genius are always
modestly silent and secusive. Now it is presumed
that one half Of your readers profoundly gno
rant that they cannot tell whether the said Ihomp-
son was born in Cambridge or Squantum, with many
other particulars of his history intensely interesting
to the folks of this sphere While passing through
Salem-st. one morning. our attention was suddenly
arrested by flaming sign-board bearing the magni-
ficent cognomen of Samuel Thompson the Original
Founder Atthis early hour the Infirmary was free
from the devotees who are said to c0ngTegate there
to be touched and healed. We stood moment con-
tempating the various bulletins of Immortality that
are benevoently arranged for public inspection, and
bowling with all the reverence consistent with our
croyeling nature, entered this modern temple of
Hypeia. This is room about twelve by thirty feet,
and is used as the General Depository. Dispensato
nv. and Publication Office Of the fraternity. There
was magnificent display Of Buttler6y-weed. Bur
dock, Nerve Powder Green Emetic,' and the in
comparable index to the whole My Principles
This is also the shrine where men come. even from
the old countries to buy Book and take Right,
which last them for books and rights, and surplus
too. for considerable life. Over the desk hangs
portrait of his prime Dactorshp. who is represented
with fresh plant Of Lobelia in his right hand, and
in his left generous corymb Of plump pepper-pods
On the walls were presented sundry- bills and set
tings forth of hair breadth escapes; Of thanks rem
dered, and diseases rent. One seemed in all re-
spects bill of fare with other important infoyma-
ton which is here transcribed for the benefit Of such
