CORRESPONDENCE.
Ludlow. Oct. 8, 1850.


Well, We from this locality have
"bccn. saw, and conquered" or in other
words. the $3.50 delegates to Burr's
Mirror havc been all the way to Boston
and returned, and are now engaged in
detailing TO those who tarried n. home.
the wonders Of the city und the numer-
Gus incidents by the way.
Some Of the party were disappointed
in not seeing the elephant, as the boy
who had the key to his trunk was out
and could not DC found. And the gen.
tleman who at starting, wondered, j.
he should not get tired walking seven
miles to view the whole length Of the
Mirror, has returned with the color Of
his eyes changed from Green to Blue.
Some Of the party, we understand,
whose perceptive faculties were in a
high state of cultivation, had q glimsc
of Boston Charles, and the mirror Of
q Boston Watch House painted 70 true
to their wondering gaze, that they
thought "discretion the better part of
valor," and concluded it was best to quit
the warblings Of their musical voices,
or they might have to pay premium
for lodgings at public expense.
Those conquered who did not yield
to the sparkling cup. Good men and
true, returned home as they left, with
principles un,arnishcd, and strange TO
say, had no occasion to journey to and
from the Baggage Room in the dark!
Please advise Mr. Burr to have large
Checks prepared for similar occasions,
that individuals may feel safer about
their luggage, and not be obliged to
spend so much time in the baggage
room, hunting up their traps in the
dark. lfthis course should be pursued,
gentlemen would not encounter the
Horned Horse. A word to the wise is
sufficient!
The bridge connecting the two por-
tons Of our village, which was washed
away by the late disastrous frcshet, is
in process of erection, and the street
leading to the Depot has been repaired
and beautified, by our townsman, Geo,
Wood. Is it not strange that our good
people should not pay more attention to
their streets, in making them more COM
Portable and pleasant?
On THURSDAY evening we had visit
from beautiful meteor, and by the APP
pearance Of the heavens something was
put out Of place,as for long time after
wards its trail was visible, and it final
ly curled itself up like a. huge snake
and gradually faded from view. More
anon. Truly, Yours. q.

A BEAUTIFUL INcIDrNT.--A few
days since q couple of Monks were
introduced to Jenny Lind, BY q cler,
gyman Of this city. The two pious
fathers seemed very much pleased
with the interview, and towards the
close Of it they presented her with a
beautiful specimen of the Lords
Prayer in Arabic. She requested
the reverend gentleman who accom-.
panied the Monks to translate it,
which he did. After doing so he
commenced reading it, when she. rose
from her seat, with her eyes turned
upwards, gracefully clasped her hands
and remained in that posture until he
had finished. Boston Bee.

RUTLAND AND WASHINGTON RAIL
ROAD. BY reference to the advertise
ment. in another part OF this paper, our
readers will perceive that this road is
now open from Rutland to Castleton,
the cars running in connection with
those on the Rutland and Burlington
road. No thoroughfare in Vermont, we
venture to say, has for the last ten years
been more Travelled than that between
Rutland and Castleton, and with the
additional business which railroads al.
ways create we can see no reason why
this portion Of the road, ut least will not
be one Of the very best in this par,
Of New England.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL,-Two of the five
prisoners confined in our Jail, attempted to
break out on Friday night. They procured
a large bolt of iron, which by heating, and
applying to the logs and oak boards forming
the roof of the Jail room, they entirely burnt
through, and thus provided themselves with
an aperture fer escape. But unfortunately
for them, Sheriff Terry had been anattentive
observer of all their operations, and when he
thought they had taken enough exercise for
their health, quietly stopped proceedings
They are now in irons. The Jail of Wander
burgh county, is an antiquated, and insecure
affair, utterly untitled for the safe keeping of
experienced jaiI-birds, unless they be closely
watched.
