I Tear- ine- in New Haven that ' time roils o ',' I was thought peihaps that mv waieh that stolen from me on the S.-!eci:er street cars might have rolled :1 in iles from New Ha ves? and gone to Hartford, sol rolled up to llailfoid. and after drinking two mugs of pork and moUi.sses, I gazed a g ize upon Hartford. Hartfoid is bounded on the north by Hartford, on the south by Hart foid. on the east, by Hartford, and on the west by Hartfoid, and Hartford folks think if it wasn't for a steamboat connecting Hartfoid with "ew York, New York wouldn't amount to a tin cup. Hartford ow! s llaihii's ay, the Straits f Gibraltcr, the Faci.'lo Ocean, ami seeral smaller water lots, and she owns the land adjoin ing, and holds a lirst moitgage on the equator, ar.d rents the frigid and torrid zone at so much a zone. '1 lie lirst man who ever lived in Hartford was a fort the Dutch built in lCil;!. and the oldest living inhabitant. The Dutch as cended the (btoncktacnt river in Hat-bottom boats until it got aground and then they landed at Suckeggs, (Indian name.) Hal t fud was then Suckeggs. and its citi zens are suckeggs to litis day. There is a Slate liouse in Hartford and a, stage road to Midd'etown. and a colt makes horse pis- ti ls there. When the dew is heavy the j river is uavie-able for sloons of t went v tons a oil dupois weight. The people a re spruce as though they were weaned on one cow's spruce Urn-, uud they are more tidy than the river is. The river isn't tidy. Socit ty in Hart ford is elevated, anel a ft iiow might us well try to bore a hole through a bar of iron with an auger made of buttermilk, as to try to gf t into that society w ithout lie has the stamps or a pedigree long enough to go twice around the Hocky Mountains and lap two varels. If Guy Fawkes and St. Paul were to visit Hartford, Guy would get an entree into society quicker than St. Paul, provided Guy had ten cents the most. I tlo believe that iff?. Washington was alive to-day he couldn't be elected inspector of fown iiumns for Hartford. ti in .,.. l,.,hl of ll.irlfot d 2o vears ao and folks used to wrap themselves up j nto ten yards of bleached muslm, climb ! apr.ie trees, and, thinking they were going torly, stretch out both hands and say, "I dime," and they elul come; nicy came kerslap to the ground, injuring their spinal columns and getting their nasal organs bicd. 'Tain't so easy swimming in the air I with 173 pounds of llesh and bones for bal : last. The legislature meets here every other nr. The. members are calleel "shatl eat- vear. 1 lie menn.eis aie ers" beca-ase they meet when shad are rije. I wcit when shad are ripe toi. I don't like 'em. A shad reminds me of a boileel paper of pins. The pink paper is the meat ami the pins are the bones. Fish balls are selling iu Hail ford for 10s. a basket. Hartford regrets having to import her coel fiih from New Haven, and the city has planted a hundred acres of them this sea son and hopes to pick them and secure the crop before the fr ost sets in, instead of cul tivating "rapes. Thev raise baked beans as The buckwheat lartre as watermelons. cake crop is doing finely, ami the turkey cron for next Thanksgiving is already in V..,,.. ... 4- ..,?. loS-nrn off nod 1UU UlU-.ii'lll. iv t.. tho fcportsinen have been Muniting cucum bers since the first ef the memth. I saw a natural qrioniio to-day a man who liveil thirty years in a saw "mill. He inhaled so much sawdust that wheu lie died and turn- I eel to dust, lie turned to sawdust. His widow rallied lam oft, anel now he stands in front of a cigar store playing wooden Indian. His widow invested the money realized from the rufiie prudently ; and is therefore in more comfortable circumstan ces than he is, especially when it rains. Hartford is not a watering place, but it is a whiskeying place. The hens lay scrab pmc and chickens aie so scarce that children are never allowed to have the ch'.ckcnpock, and the boys are a'd named I Henry. The cook where I stop has auburn I Lair. She fell in love with me and sent me I a lock of hair beautifully cncWed in hash. I stepped into a church.

A com mon punishment wrts that of going in procession through the streets of a town or a village in a thesis covered with imago e.f swojels. whips, roels and other instru mentsof corporal chastisement. in Htsse, women who had Ua'vii their hu: bands were made to ride backwards on a don key, h oitling his tail, on which occasions the atiimul was led through the'stieets by tl" husband.
