A certain Captain M—, hale, good hu
mored man, beloved by all 'who knew him,
and a certain Dr. R—, one of-the hand
somest men alive, and a gentleman all over,
met a few years ago in Trenton.
It was during the session of the Legisla
ture, which, as every body knows, is, when
it happens, a great feature in Trenton lily,
I and a pregnant item in the history or New
Jersey.
Both the Captain and Doctor were bo
rers—lobby members—not for the ben
efit of their own pockets-lint for the pub
lic, comprised within the limits of Camden,
which, ns you know, is a great city, located
opposite to the red red hamlet of Philadelphia.
The Captain was , boring' for Camden as the
seat of government, court house and jail, for
the country of Camden. The Doctor was
boring for Long-a-Coining, being a large
city, composed of a blacksmith shop and two
frame houses, arid located somewhere be
tween the extreme limits of Camden county
and the Atlantic ocean.
In a word, the site of a county Court
[louse was a disputed question—the citi
zens of Camden wanting it in Camden, the
voters of Camden county just to spite the
Camden people, wanted it in Long•a-Coin
ing.
Well, the Captain with his hearty honest
face, and the Doctor with his honest very
handsome lace, came to Trenton as lobby
members, to press the respective merits of
Camden and Long-a-Coming, upon the no-
poetical Qepatturnt.

Lice of the L-gislature of New JoNev. A
week, two weeks. three weeks, a month pas
sed, and vet the Legisho tire took no action,
and Camden county was still without a seat
of government, curt house or j til.
The Doctor grew quite impatient; meet
ing the Captain one by, in one of the pas
sages of the :login:10y pi cidtar Capitol of
New Jersey; he slid to his friend :
.You arc !lure fur Camden, 1 for Long-n-

dancing attendance on this cur5,..11..p-.Jskt
t u re. Why don't they—the asseml.;ed
dom of Jersey,—say Camden or L!:,ng-a-
Coming, and let us go home ?'
The Captain thew his yr,ung, friend into
the recess of a corridor, and looked at him
queerly. with one eye half shut, and his
mouth liked on a decided 'pucker.'

• The Doctor confessed that he was aware
of prone of these points, but dark as to oth
crs;—he had some conception of hr:w the
.Icthyreauras—a big animal with a hard
name, known to geoltTo•ts, which had th e
whole world to itst•ll, a law millions of years
before Adam,—how the Ictlivouras looked
when he was about, but Jersey Legislation
was an animal he had looked at on all sides
but could not understand.
The Capt. took the DJctor good humor...ci
ty by the atin, and held him into a retired
oace, where a InAtcd candle shone upon
the countenance of a but 11 , 2 of chi inpagne—

Over this bottle the Captain proceeded to

which fell frtru his lips.
'Albany is 0 great place,' so the Capt.
began ; 'llarrisborg is another groat place
—legislators can he had there in great T ian.
tines at reasonable prices, but Trenton is
the place.'
'Expound I' said the Doctor. Upon
which the Captain illustrated his text by thi.
following narrative :
One whiter there came to Tr.mton two
men named Smith and Junes, who had bath

ty women—be wished to bo di vorc:•d fro:n
the bad wife, so that he might inrry the
pretty woman, a ho, by the by, was a wi
dow, with black eyes, and sti,th a bust !
Therefore, Jones came to Trenfon fur a di
vorce.
Smith had' wifo, plump as a rob
in, good as an angel, and the mother of ton
children, and Snul6 did 1101 Want to be di
vorced, hut did want to get a charier for a
turnpike, or Idank ro id, to extend from Pig's
Run t I Terrapin 11 Mow.
Well, they with those dilT•r:mt errands
came to 'Fronton, and ad.lr.-ssed tier assem

Ist. Suppers, mainly composed of oys•
tors, with a rich h.lek ground of steak and
venison.
2d. Liquors in great plenty from 'Jersey

at full speed, reduced in liquid shape—to
Newark champagne.
To speak in plain pro3e, Jam's, t!: , ' divorce

the turnpike titan, Wowed by a champ:ll.mc
break fast—.under the mollifying influence
of ivhich, the assembled misdain passed both
the divorce and the turnpike bills, and Jones
and Satitii—a copy 01 each bill on parch
ment in their pockets—went rejoicing Noma,
over miles of sand, and through the tribula
tion of many stage coaches. Smith arrived
at home in the evening, and as h t down
e
in the parlor, his pretty wife beside him—
how pretty , she did look! and five of her
children asleep overhead, the other five stu
dying their lesson 4 in a corner of the room,
he was induced to expatiate upon the good
result of his mission to Trenton.
'A turnpike, my dear. I ani ono of the
directors, and will be president: it will set
as up love ; we can send the children to
boarding school, and live in style out of the
toil. Here is the charier, honey.'
, Let one sec it,' said the pretty wife, who
was one of the nicest wives, with plumpness
and goodness dimpling all over her face, 'let
me see it ;' and she leaned over Smith's
shoulder, pressing her arm upon his own, as
he looked at the parchment. But all at once
Smith's visage .grew long. Smith's wife's
visage grew black. Smith was not profane,
but now he ripped out an awful oath:
.D---a it, %vile, •thesei 'nfernal scoundrels
at Trenton have divorced us!"
It was too true. The parchment which
he held was a bill of divorce, in which the
name of Smith and Smith's wife appeared
in frightful legible letters.
Mrs. Smith wiped her eye with the cor
ner of her apron.
.1-leee's a turnpike.' she said,' , and with
the «hale ten of our children staring' me in
the face, I aim your
'l.)—n the. pike and the legidature,

Well, the fact is, that Solidi reduced to
single bltsse,lnes, and .en:ictedP into a
Strang or to his own wile, swore terri'oly.
Althou7ll the tliJit was dark, and most
of thl? denizens of village had gone

of the session, wi n o legislators and clerics.
were laboring under the effect of a cham

breakfast. Smith's name had been put
where Junez , ;' name ought to have been, and

This is in substance, if not in words, The
Captain's story.
.110 you mean to say that that is a fact
asked the doctor, smoothing his whiskers
and gnzing round the restaurant 'box' in
which they were seated, and finally at the
three-quarters empty champagne.
'This is a sample of Jersey legislation,'
replied the Captain.
.
The doctor' sat'd ldng time tn a deep
thought, absently playing with the cork of
the three-fourths exhausted bottle, and at
last said in a calm decided way--
‘Long-a-Coming and Camden may go to
blazes!. This very night I will repose in the
bosoin of my family. The next train starts
at 5 o'clock, and I'll take it.'
Whether this story is true or TIC we can
not say, but bath the Captain and the doc
tor are men cf truth, and. the latter, one
bleak autumn night, when we were belated
amid the pines, at the very Jerseyest ofJer

OS TUE PRAIRIES OF OHIO.
The penis but a feeble instrument when
employed to describe the charms which the
wild forests and extended plains of the %Vest
possess to the sportsman, or
. to the simple
admirer of the kLeauties of nature. The lor
tner in the exercise of his de;truetive pr..)-
pensities, may sally out in the morning, gnu
in hand, and be sure of returning with
abundant spoils. 'lime latter will never lack
food for contemplation in listening to the

except' as now and then seine adventurer
straggles into this ancient home of the rcd
man. 'There are a few sly old hunters,
however, in the back towns, who are, well
informed as to the locality of these (their fa
vorite) retreats, and allude to them only in
winks and low whispers—knowing well the
advantage of preserving to themselves what
benefits may result from exclusiveness of
possession.
A party of these knowing ones has jest
planned an excursion against the deer.
which are now coining down plentifully
front the North, as the cold season approach
es, and are scouring the prairie which Lass
about ten miles back of Maumee City, or
twenty miles from the I ice. The prairie
many irides in extent, and is sprinkled over
with clumps of trees and shrubs of various
siz , s, which are sometimes called , islands.'
Tile appropriateness of the term is very ap
parent, for, surrounded by a sea of waving
grass, a. scene like that presented by the
• ['thousand Isles' of the St. Lewrence, .is
very readily suggested. At all these is
lands, the deer rosin c miparatively umli,-
turbed, rearing their youog. Tilt! usual
mole of capturing them, is to take advan
tage of their natural keenness of scent,--one
per-em going between them and the wind.
driving them out of the thielret, while anoth
er holds himself in readioess Ma the oinro•
site side, to shoot dow-i the minim] as same
as ho shall emerge. My knife blade is sti
reeking with the blood of a noble buclr,
which Ben and 1 of the party aforesaid, took
in this way. Alter reaching the edge of the
prairie and fastening the horses, we struck
from the surrounding timber land, taking a
direct course from an old dead tree to the
nearest islands. A few prarie chickens and
woodcock, started up by the dogS, and lo 1-
ged in the capacious pocket of 13 m's game
coat, were the only results of an , hour's
plodding through the long grass and spo igy
ground. Several thickets were beaten--
Ben and 1 keeping close to the outer verge,
on either side, while the dogs traversed the
intermediate space. As we approached a
largos chimp of trees and brush, where it was
likely deer would resort for water, a more
vigilant look-out was kept. * * 11,st !
there is n crackling Of sticks in the under
wood ! * immediately the report
of a gun is heard. -1 have "him !" says
Ben, and a splendid buck was seen to roll
in the tall grass. As he leapt from his lair
he came out on Ban's side, and at the third
bound, received ten buck-shot behind 111,,
shoulder. A few spatters of blood on his
sleek hide showed where they had entered,
The eye was still lustrous as in life, but the
shot produced instantaneous death. 4 knife
blade • inserted at the throat, finished the
murderous deed.. Ile the about two
hundred pounds. In the course of the day,
a doc and buck were driven out from an
other island, and the 'former wis struck by
shot, but not captured. She at once plun
ged into the thicket, leaving - only traces of
blood. ller mate was soon after driven out,
and succeeded in escaping across •the open
ing, to a piece of timber. lie was seen to
break out Irma the brush, but was beyond
the range of shot. Laying back his antlers,
he struck across with a few graceful bounds,
eluding further pursuit. The doe was un
doubtedly disabled and had probably strag
gled off to die. Five other deer were seen
in the timber but kept out of harm's way.—
Louis de C. twenty-eight deer last
season in this way, six of which were ta
ken in one day. He is just commencing
his fall operations, and last week dropped
two fine deer in the course of as many mi
nutes, giving each one the contents of a
barrel. Some may tell larger stories, but
this will do, as . a record of actual experi
ence.
•Fire hunting" is a mode of taking deer
often adopted. The animals come down to
the Maumee river, after dark, in warm wea
ther, and immerse themselves in the water
to escape annoyance from musketoes. A
boat having a candle placed in the bow,• is
rowed in the direction the deer are suppo
sed to be, and the latter, dazzled by the
light, are easily approached,—the boatmen
being concealed from view by a perpendic
ular piece of board used as a shade. • Now
is about the time to watch the "runways,"
which the deer folloW from year to year.—
By laying concealed, fine shots may be had.
The season for wild pigeons is just over,
