Severo and exacting toil, on a salary of one-third, or one-fourth of the income from his profession, and the earnest remonstrance of friends, were no bar to bis acceptance of, and protracted service in that office. After devoting 12 years to the schools of his state and thehe was elected to Congress, toI*omlt;of exhibiting to our citizens the style and execution of musilt;? in the good old days of yore—not with an idea to bring reproach upon the revered sougs of our ancestors, but to recall and revivify in the memories of the aged those soul-stirring hymns in which they were wont to engage in youth. To make it more acceptable it was proposed to represent, al«o, various modes of adorning the person then in vogue. Accordingly the garrets (the receptacles of all cast-off garmenu;)most HH to were invaded and the desired relies in-troduc 1 ti» the light once more.The hall was densely crowded, not withstanding the lowering clouds appeared throughout the entire day as if aboutj0 | chanictowu. He was at first supposed to be in a state of stupor, and was taken into the house to revive. When it was found that lie whs dead, the body was •gain placed outside, and it is said that the inmates of the house absented themselves. which fact gave rise to various surmises and rumors, which subsequent investigation showed to he entirely unfounded. A Coroner's .lury was summoned by George Houston, Esq , consisting of I. O Beattie, Stephen Sayer, Win. E. Haggerty, Lcander Crawford, J. J. Kirkpatrick, Hudson M»ller, A. N, Mills-paugh, 0. B.

I wished you could have **een the grand entrance of the singers, headed by the conductor. It was almost impossible to distinguish any of them, they were dressed so ludicrously. Here were all the styles imaginable. Among the gentlemen were represented the Continental costume, the down-east Yankee, a German character, and that of an Irishman (who wore a wee bit of a garment that actually came across old oceun years ago,) and various other articles of antiquated wearing apparel were exhibited to advantage. But the ladies were more attractive as far as dress was concerned. Hoops were discarded for the evening, and you would have been astonished to see how little space they (the ladies) occupied. The pillow sleeve seemed to rago ; the hair was combed back and decorated with monstrous shell combs. Three bonnets were worn on the occasion—one of thema wedding bonnet, another which had attained to the age of 36 years, and had its origin in Connecticut. About nine of the present sized hats, I should judge, could be made from the three, (one might court a girl under the shadow of one of them without fear of deteotion.) One assumed the character of a flower girl, another a gipsy, and a third that of grandma, whose eyes required the aid of glasses.Some of the most noted tunes were selected for execution, such as Old Windsor, St. Martius, New Jerusalem, New-burg, Sherburne, and others of like character. The ladies sang the upper staff in those days, now termed the tenor, and the gentlemen the air—which causes quite a differeut effeot from that of the present system of singing. A quartette was sung by Miss Cadwell, Miss Newcomb, and Messrs. Kellogg aud V an Cleft, in the latest style, with credit to themselves. Mr. Kellogg favored us with a song entitled “ The Grave of Napoleon.” B. V. Wolf gave us two German songs with guitar accompaniment, aud we regretted that we were uuable to translate them, but those preseut who were acquainted with the language were manifestly pleased. Mr. Wallace imitated a lady whose voioe had become some* what impaired by age.
