The waiter with the ham, he spoiled the appearance
ana caused the disappearance OF large plate of fish,
which we piled up for him, plate of veal five poa
toes, the contents OF cucumber dish a piece of
roast beef, and then attempted 10 sacrifice some
DoileG corn, which being partially cold, he POM
pously called another waiter, and ordered him TO de-
scend INTO The kitchen and obtain six ears, all nice

TO lim as soon as possible. AS the waiter returned
win The corn, some gentlemen from Duchess who
SAT near US, and who had not been favored with the
ar'cie his season. took possession of waiter napkin
ana corn, and divided the latter item among Them
selves. while Stone looked on with all the wshful-
ness OF the dog at the brook that lost his meat IN
endeavorng to clutch at his shadow At this instant
up came the waiter with the broied ham, which he
Immediately placed before Stone who commenced
making preparations to devour il, when Judges In.

phlanlhropic motive or other, passed their plates
towards nm, when he was compelled to disgorge
small portion of his sayory dish The dinner proceed
ed with moderation, Stone, every now and then
casting his eyes towards the head of the table TO as
certain whether the champagne, that he had talked
OF and SO warmly anticipated while breaking ground,
had arrived In the vicinity of Mayor Heartt who
presided at the dinner. The dessert was about
being served, and as plate after plate was laid upon
the table, his eyes still continued TO cast that enquir
ng longing glance that is striking in one of the
canine species, when expecting TO be thrown bone
lls anticpatlons were not realized, however as the
Irolans had wisely concluded that in these DAYS of
temperance and hard times, such an unnecessary
appendage as champagne, was uncaled for. Mr.
Heart, the brother OF the Mayor of Trov having
called for bottle of Stones longing beverage, in
compliment to some friend who was present, observ-
ed the anxious eyes OF the valorous Colonel turned
towards his brother AT the head of the table, and in
order TO relieve eltherone the other from the pecu-
larlty OF their situation, poured of the wine from
the bottle, within about halt gill of the dregs and
then sent 1t to Stone by waiter, with his compli-
ments. The look OF satisfaction with which Stone
grasped its neck, and the avidlty with which he
attempted TO appropriate It's contents in rinsng his
outlet, with the expression of disappointment that
followed the last tip of the bottle caused the whole
table, Judges, mayors aldermen, delegates and ct-
Zens, TO shake their sides with shouts of laughter
This was rather too much for Stones nerves to bear
and as the company gradually rose from the table
he at length lintruded himself into the society of
small party gentlemen at the lower end of the OPP
poslte table, who were enjoying little of the grape
ana among whom your representative had been spe-
ciallyinvted There being any giucn quantity in
the Vicinity he Immediately made himself more
than oiiicious, until Mayor Heart, who is an entire
cold water man, entered the room and took his seat
among the company. A partial organization then
took pace when the health of the absent Mayors of
New York and Brooklyn were given by the Mayor
OF Troy, Drunk by himn cold water,) and respond

man Rich, the Vice President of the Railroad
company, replied to toast given complimentary to
the officers, IN the course of which he pointed out
the argumentative fact, that if the Boston railroad
which cost So, 900, Co., would yield, fully evil
dent, handsome premium on that investment

ork and Albany route from receiving a liberal per
centage when their road would not cost half that
amount, nor hall the sum to keep it in constant re-

of New York had been humbugged by the various
railroad schemes of the day. and the course it had

vertlser on that subecl,
Stone again rose and desired an explanation from
Vice President Rich, as he wished him to partlcu-
larise what portion OF the press had pursued such
course, as he believed that the whole of the press
OF New York., with the exception of what he
termed the mushroom part-the penny press had
always sustained this project.
Vice President Rich replied, and reiterated what
he had previously said, when Mr.. Heartt the
same gentleman who had quzzed Stone with
the empty champagne bottle remarked that the
Commercial had rarely if ever alluded to the inte-
rests OF Troy, IN any manner, and therefore there
was not much reason 10 suspect that ii would at
this late day. Laughter

been replied by your representative had he not con-
sldered his remarks beneath notice. several gentle
men lntimated that Stone had changed positions

thathe had earnestly recommended the contempla-
ted railroad route through Connectcut,n preference

in inducing the Legislature TO construct this bridge,
TO the detrment of Troy, and also urging the State

loudesD the whole cash press of New York city

written in opposition to these very measures. Ano-

Stone alone, when he spoke of being humbugged.
as man connected with the press in this country
was easily wheedled, and he cited Maria Monk,
animal magnetism, NC, as evidences OF the strength
OF such opinion. Another remarked that Stone was
reom character like that rich and luxurious We
getabe, their contents were fresh, delicious, deli
cate and gratifying TO the taste and what was MORE
always manufactured over night for the extended
reading market, and served up fresh In the morning
for use. That they differed materially from such
sheets the Commercial and others, that toadstool
like, were days in producing growth, and when ma
tured, were useless, and in many instances proved
rank poison TO all who partook of them.
Charles II. Reed, Esq, the recently appointed
postmaster OF Troy, was called up, and made of
the neatest ohand speeches that it has been our lot
to hear for many days. He was happy argumenta-
nve and eloquent IN every point, and IN sl!ndng to
the feelings OF the enterprising citizens of Troy, he
likened her to the daughter Of the eastern State of
Massachusetts, whose heaving bosom yearned to-
wards the home of her childhood, but ready TO
link her fate with the proud son OF New York, and
share his fortunes, provided the band of marimony
was so firmly fixed that she could add to the com
forts of her noble lord in dreary winter as well as
genial summer, the lack of which at the latter
OF the year was not only detrimental to his health
wealth, and happiness, but ruinous the prosperity
and enterprise of both parties. That as much az the
breaking off of this match was to be regretted on
the part of the youthful bride, yet she would be
PEELED to give her hand and heart to Bosons Wishes
if her intended southern lord did not come forward
like man, and bind her fast with link not to be
broken She had done all that feminine decacy
would prompt-had extended her hand and
profiered all the estate that she could
spare and it the ceremony could not be readily per-
formed under all these inducements on her part, she
would accept of Boston's proposition and throw her
self into the of her school-felow and playmate.
That married she must be to somebody, somebody
she would be married to, dreary winter was fast
on the approach, and her comfort happiness and
depended on settlement in life before
change had rendered her not worth struggling
for. She willing to wait another year for
York las she loved him best but unless he gave some
evidence of an intention 10 prepare for the union, at
