SERVING DINNERS BY NorE.-Many a green

covers from the viands, or when they come in. in
single file keeping step like soldiers marching close
to bend all their legs together in one apparently
compact body, to lay down plate or a knife and
fork or napkin
Serving dinners by note, is thus spoken of by late
vslter to Saratoga. Some of his remarks we'll
put, and taste considerably like common sense:

passed up Pennsylvania avenue toward Georgetown.
When the procession arrived the democratic headquar-
tiers in Georgetown, il received large reinforcement OF
the sterling democracy OF our neighboring town. AT
prominent points along the road salutes fired, and
the country people, horse back and in carriages formed
into line, until it extended a, least half mile as

peaied cheers by the democracy which had assembled
to take counsel with regard to the great questions that

announced the object Of the meeting 10 be the restoration
OF heathful influences in the executive branch OF the
government, the overthrow of dangerous men, and the
establishment of kindly sentiments between the different
sections OF the country. He then introduced 10 the as
semblage Mr. Buchanan, OF Baltimore, Mr. Griffith of
Maryland Mr.. oud OF Georgetown. and Mr. Key Of
Washington, whose eloquent remarks were frequently
interrupted BY loud bursts OF applause
Al late hour in the evening the democrats from
Washington and Georgetown, with reluctance, fell into
line their return, and left their Maryland friends
amidst cheers and congratulations ELECTED by the success
Of the meeting and the bright prospects which arouse
the enthusiasm Of the democracy with assurances OF
victory.
