Washington— -The : following : are recollec

opportunities during the three last years ol

pltythre, of strung-muscular fralifc, without
fullness of. covering, --well ■■ formed and
straight. - He was a man of extraordinary
physical strength. In 1 his house his action
was calm, deliberate and dignified, without
pretensions, to gracefulness or peculiar man.

thinks it should he in such a man; When
walking 'in the, street, his r movements had
nul the soldierly air which might be expect

, .At ths age of sixty-five, time had dime
nothing "towards bending hini, out' ot hjs
natural erectness. , His .deportment was
invariably grave, ft was sopi-iety that stop
ped short ol soilness—liis presence inspir

mode of speaking was slowjind deliberate,

used-to throng around him, in .conversation,.
There were some of the well remembered
belles,of tliat day whom! agiiied themselves,
to betiiivurites .with. him. As, these werp
the oiily opportunities they had of conver
sation with him,they were disposed fo use
them. One would think that a genflcmaip
and a gallant soldier, if he could ever laugh,
or dress liis countenance in smiles, would
du so when surrounded by young and ad
mii'ing beauties/', put this was never so:
the countenance of Washington, never

softened or changed its habitual gravity.
Une vvho had lived always in the family
said ( that his manner in public life, and in
l|tp seclusion of most rented life,, was al-
ways the same. Being asked whether
Washington, could laugh, this person said
that this was a rare occurrence, but (!jat
one-instance was remembered, \yl(en lie
laughed most lieurtily at her narration of
an incident in which- she \yas partly con
cerned;- and in \yli.ich |ve applauded her
agency. The late General Cobb, ! who was
long a member of his family during the
war, and \yl)q enjoyed a laugh as myelins
any man cupld—said that lie never saw
Washington laugh, excepting..when Col.
Scamniel—if thisvyas die -person—rcamu tp
dine:,at head quarters, Scamniel had a
fund of ludicrous anecdotes, and a, manner
iof telling them which, relaxed the grayity of
1 the'.c'uin rounder' in chief. - . .
! General Cobh also said that.the forms of
proce'edings.athead quarters were exact and
precise, orderly and punctual. "At the apr
pointed momeitt, Washington appeared, at
I the breakfast' table, ffe expected to.find
ail ipeiqhersofliis family—pobb, Hamilton
and. Humphreys werel.jt,njpng;thein—await
ing him. He came dressed for the day, and

From 'Alexander's We'elt[y.'Masmg&,
A Burglary preventid; 4y a Courting
Match,—A. few nights since some„ rascals,
attempting tp break into; a house in Kensing
ton, attracted the attention of a : couple of
Ipvers difthe house opposite,’ who wei;6 en
gaged; insome amatory exercises, andwlibse
appearance at the door startled the r'obbers,-
.who fleilf carrying away i|othilig b.u't a pad?
lock which'(hey had broken hit' the grating.
Jd.Burglary aided, by a Courting Match,
Uninvited ■—Qn the same ‘night as
the above.agentleinati residing in Kensing
ton was alarmed, fromhis suimbprS by a
gfrange noise,and stating Soto liis'wife, was
to|d that it was their daughter, a sweet girl
of seventeen, whom fhty'hid lyft doing»the
agreeable to 3 yoMnggentleman who had ex-'
hibited 'violent symptoms of matrimony.—
Satisfied, with tins assurance, "they address
ed 'them, again'to sleep,” from which they'
were agaiiv startled byarepctitioiilpf
tjie same noise, whichthey thought was
rather louder than .two lovers would make,
though .a poet once told-of a whole "wood
tremblihg-to a" hiss.” Determined to satis. l
fy.jhis doubts, "the gentleman softly stole
dpiyh stairs to .the -back-.parlour,-and. there
WaS astonished by seeing jjozeiv
"gal lows looKing” rahcplsj vvhpAyere hiking
up what -might-be. Rrhphioafly styled" Vthe
devil's dcright.’t ahd with a-perfect abandon
that'showed they considered themselVes,“at
home.” Naturally .surprised, and not re- '
iishihg 'such'in'tTuderS; "thc host wciit'b p'
stairs, and, getting 1 his pistols, returned—
when at the last step, his ‘fiiot'cntcl’.ing in
the stair rod.-tripped him up. and, in thej
fall. the pistol - waS discharged in the direc
tion of the\pobbers, wounding one of them
(as was afterwards seen by the blood,) and
demolishing in its courses plaster of pans
Cupid, r and shatfei ihg ihto fragments a large
and costly looking glass, the scamps in the
confusion doing some jumping and running
that would, reflected credit on .the most
famous professor of the lofty art. 1 Lights
were brought, and the gentleman had'the
pleasure of lboking at as pretty a picture of:
ruins as was ever.got up. Pies, cakes, pre
serves, and nicknacks of all kinds| yvere |
strewed in a most melancholy mannpr over
the room; lumps of butter werp thrown iipon j
imd trampled into the'Torkey carpet; piles
of-napkins and table lipeii were’ trampled
together, and the contents of several dozen.
wine bottles emptied upon them, and the ap- j
pearances around indicated that the rascals
had emptied as many more down their throats |
—costly cpt glass dishes were in pieces, and!
the phafrs, sofas, ottomans. &c., cut in a must
shameful manner. The silver plate,' spoons, j
and other valuables' wpre done tip rn rolls to
be carried away* which watffrustrated by the |
arrival-of the gciiilpnian. The'fault 61 the
whole affair rests upon the youg lady or gen
tleman, for hat) they not been courting in
the early part qf the evening, the "old folks
would have had a- proper apprehension of
tlfp noise and taken steps to stop the rpis
’jcbief and to catch the robbers.,
