Blowin' Hot and Cold.-A corres pone dent of the Boston Post thus gives a sketch ..f Conneclieut characrer. He. must he pronounced impartial, as be presents both the dark and bright ofahe picture: "1 The Connectieut chaps are a nation of traders. Swop. buy, nnd sell, is their whole bisiness. They take iliedisease at three or ottr years old, and only quit it when the breath of life quits their clayey tenemetis. I have no doubt but that a m:jority fr the tpeople of Connecticut irade for their collins. or for boards with which to tmake them before ihey go out of the world. Even the women trade, and T religiously believe nine ont of ten of them would sell their entire wardrobe, includ ing every thing but n sindre gnrment, it by 40 doing they could acquire a penny more than the act nia cost. i have seen thetm in in the market haggle aboul the price of a half dozen apples, as though the salvation of their sonis depended on the nequ'sition of a contested penny.
