Riz me, Hiram, sez she; an when Id got her easy, she put her old arms raound my neck, an tried to say, God bless you, dear--, but died a doin of it; an I aint ashamed tew say I boo-hooed real hearty, when I laid her daown, fer she was dreadfl good tew me, an I dont forgit her in a hurry.Fust-rate! that harum scarum venter er mine was the best I ever made.

After this there was tilting at the barriers, the young Earl of Essex and other knights bearing themselves more chivalrously than would seem to comport with so much eating and drinking.Then, horrible to relate, came another most sumptuous banquet of sugar-meates for the men-at-arms and the ladies, after which, it being now midnight, the Lord of Leicester bade the whole company good rest, and the men-at-arms and ladies took their leave. But while all this chivalrous banqueting and holiday-making was in hand, the Prince of Parma was in reality not quite so much appalled by the relief of Grave as his antagonist had imagined. The Earl, flushed with the success of Hohenlo, already believed himself master of the country, and assured his government, that, if he should be reasonably well supplied, he would have Antwerp back again and Bruges besides before mid June. Never, said he, was the Prince of Parma so dejected nor so melancholy since he came into these countries, nor so far out of courage.

Three commissioners were appointed shortly after the adjournment of Congress under the act of the last session providing for the exploration and survey of the line which separates the States of Maine and New Hampshire from the British Provinces.They have been actively employed until their progress was interrupted by the inclemency of the season, and will resume their labors as soon as practicable in the ensuing year. It is understood that their respective examinations will throw new light upon the subject in controversy and serve to remove any erroneous impressions which may have been made elsewhere prejudicial to the rights of the United States.
