since,l resided in Hartford, and one evening,
as usual, was pursuing my business, when my
attention was called II news flying about the
streets, that the great Cen Scott and his aids
had arrived in town, aud had taken rooms at
one If the pubic hotels, where they pat up for
the night after partaking largely Of what was
found in mine host bar and larder: :, In the
morning, after disposiny Of a bountiful break
fas, and other good things which The house Of.
forded, his bill was called for, and presented,
which being q. few shillines more than bis arris-
tocra'ic highness thought was proper, his back
was up at once, and he would "be dit he
would pay it," and left FIR the steamboat !;
which made il necessary for the accommodating
landlord, to his just dues, 10 send a con-
stable aud arrest the Generals and hold him in
custody, until he forked over the change for
bread and brandy disppse6 Of the night before
!, for one, have had bnt poor opinion Of .sOld
Fuss and Feathers, since that transaction and
If live toises: November, shall give my. vote
for gallant Frank Pierce, with 4 COED will.
