MARINE DALTON Saturday afternoon a large
number OF ladies and gentlemen were the delight
ed witnesses Of the drill of more than one hum
drod marines, from the Washington barracks
which took place on the Capitol grounds. The
fine appearance of the men, their admirable disci
pline, and general soldierlike bearing, elected
the warmest laudations. They were commanded
by Major Reynolds. The Marine Band, so highly
appreciated by those who have enjoyed ts instru-
mental performances, varied the entertainment
with martial music.
EASTER Eods.-Tbe origin of the connexon of
eggs with Easter is lost in the msts of remote an
uquity. We learn, however, from writer's upon
old customs, that eggs are "rifc at this day in
Russia as N England;" and may include
America, though in the last manned country chill
dren especially claim them their own preroga-
tive for sport. Formerly, the King OF England
had hundreds prepared TO give his household. In
roll OF the expenses of Edward l. there occurs, in
the accounts of Easter Sunday, in the eighteenth
year Of his reign, "iour hundred and a half Of
eggs, eighteen pence" The custom is supposed
to have been originally Jewish.
The MASONIC FRATEssITy, accompanied by the
Light Infantry Band, yesterday afternoon followed

He was from one of the western States and, al
