particulars:--first course, a pudding made of Indian corn,
molasses and butter;--second, veal, bacon, neck of mutton,
potatoes, cabbages, carrots, and Indian beans; Madeira wine,
of which each drank two glasses. We sat down to dinner at
one o'clock; at two, nearly all went a second time to
church. For tea, we had pound cake, sweet bread and butter,
and bread made of Indian corn and rye, similar to our brown
home-made. Tea was brought from the kitchen, and handed
round by a neat white servant girl.

The establishment of this political patriarch consists of a
house two stories high, containing, I believe, eight rooms;
of two men and three maid servants; three horses and a plain
carriage. How great is the contrast between this individual,
a man of knowledge and information--without pomp, parade,
vitious and expensive establishments, as compared with the
costly trappings, the depraved characters, and the
profligate expenditure of ---- House, and ----! What a
lesson _in this_ does America teach! There are now in this
land no less than three Cincinnati!

Hogs in New York streets.

Yesterday forenoon, while in Broadway, we witnessed another
instance of the impropriety of suffering Hogs to run at
large in our streets. A highly respectable and most worthy
young lady, was literally run down by a large Hog that was
pursued by a dog. In her fall, her breast struck the curb
stone, and she was considerably injured. After she had
partially recovered, the gentleman at whose store she had
made some purchases, kindly conveyed her to her father's
house in a carriage. The reader may easily imagine the
distressing effect produced on the mind of a fond parent, at
the sight of a darling child, whose pale cheeks plainly
indicated her situation. --> _What would not the citizens of
Boston say of their Police, if Hogs were permitted to run
loose in the streets_?
