A> a ehronielcr ol pas.-dog ^ events, I send yon for publication, a very b faint account of t!:e proceedings of Sa- V turdav last. Love <;f country is a virtue d of the highest order. He must have lost e all sense of duty either to Clod or his feh ft low beings, who has no aspirations for [. his conutiy's good. s, As such, we deem the d<>itigs of S.itur- (> day entitled, as 1 believe they will meet jj with, a hearty welcome in your columns. ^ It being one of the r< guiar muster days o? of the company, lite turn out of seventyfour men in such a rich uniform, as that of the Delvalb Rillo Guards, presented an appearance rarely to be met with in any I'.iri 'if the country. Added to which, is |( liii'ir geucial martial display, spirit and bearing, and amongst the most conspicuous traits manifested by them is, their T* attention and obedience to orders. Es- }| hernials to the discipline of every military 0 corps. The several evolutions performed, u were well executed. As marksmen, their ability was well attested by the perforated, portrait of an Indian chief, (handsomely r; painted by one of the members,) at the n disraucc of one hnndrcd yards. The it! iirstpii/c, a fine Kirte, was won by J. K. ft Smith, the second a plume by J. C. lU'Wil-j0i lie, the third an Indian pouch, by D. \ Dcauford; these tokens of skill were [, awarded by the judges, to ih* successful r. competitors before tlie ciiizm?s and compuny formed in a hollow square. ! After which, all present, partook of ai(| sumptuous and well prepared Barbecue.; nA number of gentlemen were called upon, ^ who responded handsomely, dwelling: upon the peculiar advantage of a Ilillej corps, in time of war, ev incing a lofty pa-: iriotism mingled with a desire iliat sue prin ciples of Sobriety, Temperance, and j obedience, iniglu ever be conspicuous ; c amongst the officers and men of thcDc-jp Kalb Rifie Guards.

[Ncir-Oricans Bulletin, 1 Gth inst. Novel Rat Trap.?A correspondent assent us the following account of a cvvlv invented rat-trap, which has al?ady broil used with success. Take a arrel and stretch a skin of parchment | rer it with a string; cut it across and ath- ( art, nearly to the outside. Take some ripping, and mix it with meal; smear it ' 11 the middic of the parchment. The j its will smell it and treading on the parch-1 lent it will give way, and they will fall, ito the water in the barrel.

Thus in one night the house lay be cleared of rats, be they ever so lanv. Mice and other vermin may be aught in a similar manner. LACONIC BUT TRUE. 'Tie was a hypocrite at first, or a hyporite at last, and the truth is/<e was a hyocrilc bath first and last" This is what llcriry A. Wise said ot Ir. Clay in 18i>2, when the former was eviewing the course of the latter on the ckbratcd Compromise Bill. Did Mr. Vise speak then what he thought to be he truth? If he was sincere then, what Iocs lie think of himself now. He and dr. Clay are both mounted on the same lobby. ? <;:'a barrel of hard cider.' SOUND. In the arctic reagions, persons can converse more than a miie distant, when the hcrmometcr is below zero. In air, sound travels from 1130 to 1142 cet per second. In water, sound passes at the i*atc vt 4708 feet per second. Sound travels in air, about 900 feet for every pulsation of a healthy person, at 75 in a minute. A bell sounded under water, may be heard underwater at 1200 feet distance, j Sounds arc distinct at twice the distance on water that they are on land. In a balloon, the barking of dogs on the ground may be heard at an elevation of three or four miles. On Table Mountain, a mile above Cape Town, every noise in it, and even words may be heard distinctly.? Saturday Chronicle. We^'copythe following "Description of the man who did not pay for his paper," from one of our western exchanges: "You claim to be a human being? \Vhv, sir, if you have a soul, ten thousand of its size would have more room in the shell of a mustard seed, than a frog in the Pacifie Ocean. Nay, more?ten thousand souls like your's might colonize on the point of a cambric needle, and live for fifty years, increasing in a ratio equal to the Irish pea- j sants; and should they then have a civil! war, the vanquished party would have mountains and valleys to retreat to, ten days' journey off. Why, man, neighbor Gripe's soul is as much iarger than your's as a saw-mill log is larger than a thread of a spider's web; and his can hardly be discerned by the aid of a microscope that magnifies a million of times." Temperance Anecdote.?A man was taken before a magistrate for having, while drunk, knocked down in the street a Minister of religion. The prisoner was fully convicted of the offence, but at the urgent intercession <>f the reverend gentleman i whom lie had injured, was liberated on I signing tiie tee-total pledge for a month.! At the expiration of the month he called ! at the house of the Divine, and being in- j troduced, expressed his gratitude for the effects of the pledge he had submitted to, | and concluded with expressing the utmost j sorrow at not having met and knocked ; down his reverence thirty years before. j A farmer about kindling up a fire, bit- j ter cold day, deep snow on the ground, I said to his son, "T un, mv son, can't you i go out to the woodpile and hustle mc up a ! few chips to start this fire?"
