 On Friday night last, some romantic youths treated the village to q serenade. They were assisted by two Italian pro. fessionals who did the instrumental and played accompaniments. The performance was very creditable to all concerned. As . musician we have no criticism to make but as 2 sectarian. slightly inclined to. Universalism, we do object to the eternal torture of Captain Jenks of tie Horse Ma rines.
 In the Superior Court in the case cf Norris os Rose the jury rendered verdict for the pf. to recover $10O. The Court is trying criminal busi ness, this week.

 NEW HAVEN CORRESPONDENCE. 3s | MR. EDIroR:-With your permission will again occupy short space in your columns concerning matters and things in this locality And first will speak of sfa9nsa rti 6w9 &ti zur. THE LATE ELECTION. Fl !a l1!H : : "We have met the enemy and we are theirs P was the implied admission of our Democratic breth ren, as the returns came in from various sections of our noble Commonwealth, on the even ing of the first Monday in April. New Haven was the decisive battle ground of the Second Congress sional Districts as also, of the whole State-for by the large democratic majority of this city, only, havethe Democrats secured, and kept partial con trol of this state for the past two years To New Haven, therefore, were the longing and expectant glances of tho Democracy throughout the country directed; and how terrible was their rage and dis appointment when they learned that even this their stronghold had failed them. .,., 1r ,.,r.4f T The campaign on the part of the Democrats was an attenuation between hope and fear After Mr. Babcocks nomination, under such adverse circum. stances, and his subsequent failure to satsfacto- | ly define his position and place himself right on the record at the Music Hall meeting, it was 2evi- dent to the most casual observer that his chances for success from the first were small and rapidly growing beautifully less. And as the campaign
 advanced they did grow less;-for by his trsnspa- rent political hypocrisy combined with the able de- nuuciaton of Rev. Dr. Garmelyl endorsed, by, all the catholic clergy of the city, and his association with the other sJims and nominees of the ssRiEg, they were all defeated. and the State handed over to s'better men" under whose control we trust it will remain. It is needless for me to further con-
 tinue this subject, Your readers doubtless fa- miliar with the facts in the case. Let me simply congratulate the Republicans of Connecticut on the glorious victory they have achieved,s and may it serve to stimulate them to renewed efdris for the safety and prosperity of our Republic and Commonwealth sat zsfs@1 a4 v a@4ao 3ca Fs1'3 34' vELoc1pEpEs, > s4sNa-ta oo
 4 The velocipede excitement reached it's height, when, on recent Saturday afternoon, the feelings of the better portion of the community were shock ed and the eyes of the curious grat6ed. by the appearance on our Green of "a female, whose nirn- ble gyra.ions. as she scientifically sat astide of that nondescrlpt vehicle called 8 bicycle" at tracted the attention of hundreds, and the general denunciations of those of her sex who witnessed the disgusting display. This occurrence, togeth. CT with the fact that the fast increasing number of velocpedes and the universal carelessness of their riders were rendering them a dangerous nuisance, brought this subject to the consideration of the Common Council, who promptly passed an ordi- nance for their suppression, after few days grace This actionon the part of the Council has called forth much discussion in the papers, both laudato- ry and otherwise but the better portion of the community feel perfectly satisfied. -a2i,"2 Eei : THE WEATHER, ETC. 29 lf-I81I | For the past few days, the weayher has forcibly reminded us that summer is near. The sun shines hotly on the payements, and the streets are so dusty to require liberal of the water-works The grass on the Green begins to assume it's yer- dant hue, and our noble elms will soon follow the example.

 At the present writing, April is in hersmi. ling mood. We have had few days of positively delightful weather for the sea son., An almost cloudless sky, a hazy at mosphere, the warm, sunlight smiling On snow drifts, and the birds (apant comriers),
 making melodious proclamation of Spring, merit passing remark. Thegod- dess of twilight appeared on the eve Of the l5th,s with her .t aurora borealis. z ana illuminated the sky, commencing in1 the east, and ascending in streams toward the zenith, and floating, spreading. and chan sging in color, till it nearly formed a circle,
