MILITIA TRAININGS

The worse than useless annual battalion
raiLings have just come off in this county,
and lhe.whole Of them have been a complete
scene of burlesque upon the militia system;
or rather a burlesque upon burlesque
sysem. The Legislature, for few years
past, have appeared to Sc, their wits 10 work
TO bring as much conIen pl upon the milili;
system as il was possible for men 10 do
and they have succeeded 10 their heart,
content. We would now advise Them I,
abolish the system altogether, as a measure
far preferable. II is now but liule els,
than nuisance, and should be presented a
such by The grand jury.

with his prisoner. The Mortified wretch clencb-
ed and gri,ted his teeth as the body pressed upon
his; but no grOan escaped his lips. His blood
shed eyes revealed the anguish of his soul; still
he would not speak. In a few minutes the living
and the dead were dashed together. The breath
ing man and putr!d corpse, fostering in corrup-
ton, were as one. When so much of the horrid
work was finished, the trapper stood with folded
arms, and with a fendish smile, surveyed the adj
vancement of his task.
"And now to complete it" said he, lifting the
load lightly 10 his arms, and placing it long ways
on the back of his horse, tethered on the green
sward. The animal snuffed the air, and would
have plunged from his burden, had not the we'll
known voice of his master quoted him. Still
he stood with fiery e~ye-balls and dilated ~nostrils,
ready 10 fly from his own shadow, as he smell

bound together round the loins, ribs and neck of

Jolt nor jar could move it from the firm position.

addressing his horse, "my untamed unicorn, you

grass, feel the effects of the LASH and taking a

NAL sharp, until wrought to a pitch of fury and
pain. Flakes of foam flew from his mouth, and
streams of perspiration rolled from every pore in
the skin.
Leaping in the air, like a stricken nag, he
strove to snap the bond which held him, and at
length, with one terrific plunge and cry of Ter.
ror, broke away with the speed of thought, anC
swept, through forest, swamp and wild, with mad
ness in every stride. On, on he went. The
food was passed, the prairie gained; still on he
went. A wild, piercing shrek broke on the un
bounded waste, and lent new fear to the madden
ed horse. On, on he went. The noon-tide
sun darted his rays, unbroken by leaf or bough
upon the fleeing overloaded stced. His skim.
ming shadow became gigantic In the falling
light; and still he continued on. The pale mool
tipped the thin, feecy clouds with her silver
light; and yet his speed was unabated.

We have the past few weeks been overrun and
surfeited with shows, concerts, DC. DC. Messrs
Hill and Nash, of your city, have the past week
given two concerts in this city to delighted audi
ences; as also in several other towns in this State
the past few wecks.
The Misses Bramson, this evening and tomorrow

The story that have lately seen in different pa
pers that Mrs Sgourney, our. citys gifted and es-
'eemed poetess, was very sick, was greatly over
stated. AS none OF our city presses have put the
matter right, the Herald must do it. Mrs. S. was
confined TO her house only two or three days with a
common summer complaint, such as all other per-
sons IN this section OF country have during the fruit
season, and which is here always termed only the
summer complaint Is it not strange that no person
OF any note can have toothache, toe

The Ball at the Hamilton House.

The ball that took place on last Friday evening at
the Hamilton House, was really most beautiful as
well as splendid affair. We have been at maay balls
and fetes, from that given TO La Fayeue, at Castle
Garden in 1924, up to the present time, yet we feel
bound to say that in point of gentlemany and lady,
like demeanor, elegance of dancing, elegance of
manners and dress, and high responsibility OF COM
pany, we have not seen any thing OF the kind for
the number of two hundred persons that surpassed,
in any way, this enchanting affair, got up by the
terprlslng and gentlemanly proprietor of the hotel,
ing was good, the supper good and the cham
pagne was better, as II sparked in the gentlemens
eyes as beauty, innocence and pleasure sparked in
those of the ladies' The ball room was honored and
graced by Doctor E., of the Army and his three ac-
complished daughters. Alderman B. of this city,
two sons, daughter and niece. Mr.. M. OF Broadway
with his lady and sisters Also ,Miss S. OF Ro-
chester; OH what pretty eyes! Then there was d.
o. r., Esq, and one of the most fascinating wives
on earth oh ! how she renovated the withered
chord OF my old heart but, ''thou shalt not covet,
Nc" She was the belle of the evening, and danced
with great modesty and grace as did all the ladies'
present. We had officers of the army gentlemen OF
the bar, and OF The medical profession, with highly
respectable merchants and Others from the neighbor
hood, among whom were General b. and daughter,
OF Arlington House, Counsellor l.. $. E. ESQ and
z. ID. w Esq Mr.. III. of Washington street. and
Mr. y. OF Front street, were active and efficient
managers.
We hope that Mr.. Reed will give us one or two
