METHODs.-A gentleman who left Richmond
last week for Baltimore seems to have had a
very pleasant time on the train, and in pri-
waite letter to a friend at home describes his
trip from Washington:
I'VE had jolly party On the train from
Washington A base ball club, one of whose
members was very smart and great wag, was
along. He persOnated Dennis Kearney, and
got up on seat and spoke for forty minutes :
pulled OF coat, neck tie, collar, &C.. and rolled
up his sleeves to his shoulders as he warmed
up to his work. He then passed his hat around,
and said he would take anything-chinquepin
chew OF tobacco, match, cigar. or position as
pastor to Brooklyn church. We nearly killed
ourselves with laughlng-mOre fun than We
had at the Richmond Theater.''
