SAFE VOYAGE AND RETURN OF HER rAssBN-
OVERWHELMING SERIES (If sERIoUa) OF
RESOLUTIONS.
At the horticultural Society refreshment TIA
bles ON Saturday evening" there might have
been seen, not solitary horseman, but a party
of returned voyagers. whose nautical air, i'm
mense appettes, and generally salty appearance,
showed that they had just been sailing on the
rolling deep. They were the survivors Of the
recent trip OF the 1riplet TO New York, who re-
turned wet. hungry and depressed, but who re-
viyed rapidly under the genial influences OF oys-
ters and coffee, which, if less potential than
eoft-shel crabs and Santa Cruz rum, at least
served a somewhat similar purpose.
As wavelet is little wave, q streamlet q
little stream, and rootlet little root, so a Trip
let must be little trip, and that is what the
party took though not ali some of them took,
as we are forced to believe after reading the
very extraordinary series of resolutions which
are printed below, (and for publishing which, we
beg to state, the price will be ten cents pei
| lne.) These resolution seem to be very inno-
cent of any bad purposes, but they veil an incen-
diary purpose and the Electric line would dc
well to let off few Of its loose lightnings upon
them. as the reader will perceive
