now,to proceed from the "subiine 10 tile rjdie
ulouS,' every section has It's representatives OF
old bachelors and old Hidowels, always ready,
many OF them, to display their awkward al
iempts at galIantry.
The corps OF Cadets under Col Smith ercamp-
ed AT This place about one week. an! their eve
lutlons on the green attracted the attention as
we'll s The admiration Of all, and reflected the
highest credit on the military skill and instruc
tlon OF those who have the management of the
Institute. Their presence in The ball room al
ways created considerable sensation among tho
! young ladies', who seem To be fond Of M,iiiar,
glory; but the bachelors and widowers, upor
| their departure, almost shouted thanks, as they
had prov ed themselves TO be their very iorm
dable rivals. They well knew that youth ano
beauty should always so together. AM
extremes IN mairlmony never de
si5ned to meet. But enough Of this. To-day
the long looked for rains have at last come ,aut

ment OF large quantity 10 ali sections of III,
country. Stages are constantly arriving and de
parting with persons,and the place presents OF
this very rainy day quite an aniuaring ap
! pearance.
But | have extended this letter To an un
reasonable length, and must close by saying
that you will probably hear from me- again.
Truly Yours,
