According TO a notice published IN your
everlasting, searching little paper, one day last
week, saving there would be protracted meet
ing at Shady Grove, l concluded to take
nice ride to he among the country lasses for
once in my life. Well, we had delightful
trip indeed, and arrived at the appointed Grove
at an early hour. but only to view the magnl-
ficent scenery, the country beauties and their
gallants, some tripping it by short and delight
full walk, with shades and umbrellas, others on
horseback, buggies, carriages, sulkeys, carts,
&c. Well, we had a crowded house, in and
out-a fac discourse from the Rev. Mr.. -
and stirring appeal by the Rev. A. McD-.
Then we departed to our different tables as
per our different very kind invitations. And,
dear Dispatch, nothing have ever seen which
could beat the good eatings we had, surround
ed as we were by such sweet and kind ladies'
as old Hanover had. Richmond city was well
represented on the occasion. We noticed many
married and single ladies'. The whole assem-
bly, amounted to upwards of 500. We ell met
with cheerful hearts, spent the day socially,
and reached home safely, saying in our journey
Wait till next Sunday,

scrbes his own mode of preventing the dis

but certain preventive remedy for the dread
malady, hydrophoba: and no other curative
means would be necessary, and no case of the

u Our readers will recoIlect that we pub
lished, week or two ago, the decision oil a Ne"
Hampshire Judge, in breach OF promise case

being maintained between lady and gentle
man, not related TO each other, ana hoth un-
married, was sufficient to establish the lnten-
zion of the latter 10 ask the hand OF the former

calculated to upheave society, seemed TO us, at
the time. a proper topic for editorial remark,
but we felt then, as we do now, our utter ina
bility to do justice 10 our sense ofits fagiious-
ness. Nevertheless, We feel it due to our amour
propre to express, as strongly as we may, the
bachelor Indignation excited within us by this
fragrant instance of judicial enormity.
When the benevolent and philosophic Pick
wick fell into the tolls of Mrs. Bardell, and
being brought into court, was cast in heavy
damages, for having written to that amIable
lady, in manner following to wit: "Cbops and
Tomato Sauce"-we thought the tyranny of
the law had been pushed TO its farthest posi-.
bic point. Indeed, we had serious doubts
whether the fullest credit ought to have been
extended to MIR. Dickens, the Reporter, upon
this statement of the misconstruction Of eyi-
dence. But our Ne wHampshire Judge goes
beyond it a bow shot, in deciding that any cor
respondence whatever between unmarried per-
sons of opposite sex, must, of necessity, have
direct reference to the tender passion, and pre-
supposes the existence or probability oil an
actual engagement. la the much injured name
of Hymen, we protest against such doctrine.
We consider it equally at war with justice and
common sense, and only 10 be recognised in a
lard where the pettcoat is the emblem of So
vereignty, and the broom stick the wand of all
rightful puissance.
We cannot reflect upon this novel decision
without coming to the conclusion that it was
made with special design to ameliorate the con-
dition of the New Hampshire spinsterhood.-
Perhaps 10 that extent we might commend it,
did we not see the fearful wrongs with which it
is fraught for TIE bachelors. The Judge being
probably man of tender compassion for the
suffering Of the softer sex, and an ant.mal.
thusian in opinion, was, doubtless, moved to
his strange dictum by desire to give the spin
sters another chance for q husband. They

quantance-no matter on what subject, whe-
Their literary, musical, horticultural, or other

come down upon him with an action. The
number of single gentlemen who might be
caught in such a trap as this, and thus be
forced into wedlock, is not pleasant subject
for contemplation TO US. For our part, we give
the ladies fair notice, that not one of them
shall ever get so much as scratch of our pen;
we shall answer none of their rose. coiored bill
