\Ve are indebted to Quartermaster General
I). N. Couch, for a copy of his annual report
to the Legislature. It is in pamphlet form
and contains full statistics of the Department.
We condense a few items: Cost value of
servicablc material at State arsenal, about
$570,000. The State artillery consists of six-
teen pieces, but with only sufficient . harness
for afourgun battery. Eight hundred ex-
cellent new Springfield breech loaders were
received in August last from the U. S. Ordi-
nance Department. Whole number of mod-
ern arms owned by the State, 3,384. Camp
equipagc 715 tents, &c., in fair order, suffi-
cient for a force of 3000 men. The cost, to
this Department, of last Fall’s Encampment
at Gregory’s Point, was $2,878, including
transportation of troops, baggage, equipage,
etc. Thirty-seven armories, head-quarters
and band rooms are leased for the use of the
military. Last year 1,223 pairs of pants and 9
coats were condemned. Clothing has cost $10-
000 on an average for the past five years
The General closes his Report as follows:—
I earnestly recommend that a State uni.
form be provided for at this session, to be.
come a law when those now in use and well-
worn shall revert to their companies. It
should assimilate, for many reasons, to that
of the United States, of which several mil-
lions of suits have been issued in the last
sixteen years, giving general satisfaction. I
estimate that for about twenty-one dollars a
complete outfitcould be furnished by this
department. _
The day has come when one Of two meas-
ures should be adopted. The organized mili-
tia will have to be brought to such a slate of
efficiency as to give full confidence in their
reliability under all circumstances that may
arise, or the force done away with, and the
State lean upon the General Government
whenever internal commotions threaten the
peace and well being of our commonwealth.
If the former is decided upon as the wisest,
there is no reason in the world why the Guard
. should not be made as efiective as those regi-
ments sent out during the Rebellion, when it
was proved that Connecticut’s sons of this
age are not one whit less valorous than their
ancestors were, who fou ht so gallantly in
the Indian, French and evolutionary wars.
There are ofilcers in your National Guard
who have but little faith in their men; the
reason of this is that these gentlemen have no
faith in themselves, and I respectfuliy recom-
mend that laws be enacted which shall purge
tho Guard of all such persons.
Our Legislators.
We copy from the Harlfm'd Post‘s Bio-
graphical Sketches of the members of our
present State Legislature, those only for this
county which we have not before published.

Ride on the Black valley
Railroad.
BY REV. l. N. TARBOX, D. D.
You have heard of the ride of John Gilpin,
That captain so jocund and gay,
How he rode dowu to Edmondton village,
In a very remarkable way.
You have'heard of the ride of Mazeppa,
Bound fast to his wing—footed steed,
How he coursed through the fields and the
forests,
At a very remarkable speed.
But I sing of a trip more exciting,
In a song which I cannot refrain,
Of a ride down the Black Valley Railroad.
Of a ride on the Black Valley train.
The setting-out place for the journey,
Is Sippington station, I think,
Where the engines for water take whisky.
And the people take—something to drink.
From collisions you need fear no danger,
No trains are ever run back,
They all go one way to perdition,
Provided they keep on the track.
By the time we reach Medicine village,
The passengers find themselves sick,
Have leg-ache, or back-ache, or head-ache,
Or some ache that strikes to the quick.
We are pious, and hold by the Scripture,
With Paul and the Apostle agree
To take "wine” instead of much “water,"
For our “often infirmity.”
In fact we improve on the reading,
By just a slight change in the text,
Say “often” where the Scripture says “little.”
_And leave “little" for what may come next.
We brake up at Tippleton station,
To try and get rid of our pain,
At Topcrsville also we tarry,
And do the same over again.
Our spirits indeed may be willing,
But very weak is the flesh,
So oft as we stop for five minutes, '
We use all the time to refresh.
Now we come to the great central station,
The last stopping place on the line,
Drunkard‘s Curve—where is kept the chief
store-house,
Of rum, whisky, brandy, and wine.
From this place on to Destruction,
The train makes no break or delay,
And those who may wish to stop sooner,
Arc kindly thrown out by the way.
A full supply of bad whisky
For our engine isitaken in here,
And a queer-looking fellow from Hades
Steps on for our engineer,
From Drunkard's Curve lo Destruction,
The train is strictly express,
And will not be slowed or halted,
For any flag of distress.
And so when all things are ready,
From Drunkards' Curve we set out;
Let me give you some flying glimpses
0f the places along came route.
First Rowdyville claims our attention,
Then Quarrelton comes into view,
Then Riotville breaks on the vision,
And the filthy Beggartown too.
As we rush by the village of Woeland,
There wretches were thrown from the train,
We can see them rolled over and over,
Through the darkness, the mud and the rain.
Our engineer chuckles and dances
In the wild lurid flashes he throws,
Hotter blaze the red fires of his furnace,
As on into blackness he goes.
0 the sounds that we hear in the darkness,
The laughter and crying and groans,
The raving of anger and madness,
The sobbing and pitiful moans:
For now we have entered the regions
Where all things horrible dwell,
Where the shadows are peopled with goblins,
With the fiends and the furies of hell.
In this steep and stygian darkness,
Lost spirits have made their abode ;
It is plain—we are near to Destruction,
Very near to the end of the road.
Would you like, my young friend, to take
passage
To this region of horror and pain?
Here stretches the Black Valley Railroad,
And here stands the Black Valley train.
New England Fox-Hounds.
Our hounds, not so carefully bred as they
should he, cannot'be blessed in any partic-
ular breed. They are more like the old
Southern fox-hound than like the modern
English; and tor our purpose, are incom-
parably superior to the latter. They are not
fleet, like him (fleetness here being objec-
tionable, as will be shown), but of the great
endurance, and unsurpassable scenling pow-
ers,——for they will follow a fox through all
his devices, from dawn till dark, through
the night and for another day. Our bi st dogs
well described by Shakspcre in “Midsmmer
Night’s Dream ;”
.. My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
$0 flew’d, so sanded; and their heads are hung
iVith ears that sweep away the morning dew;
lrook~knccii,and dciv-lapp‘d like Thessalin bulls,
slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells,
Each under each.”
l‘heir colors are blue-mottled, with patches
of black and tan or yellow, with tan eye-
patches! white; flocked with yellow, termed
by old-time hunters, “pumpkin-an-milk”;
white and black and black and tan, with
variations and admixtures of all these colors.
It is an old saying, “that a good horse can-
not be of a bad color,” and the color of a
bound is more a matter of fancy than an ex-
cellence. Aloudand melodious voice is a.
most desirable quality, and this many of our
native fox-dogs possess in perfection. A
hound with a weak voice is a,conslant worry,
and one with a discordant voice vexes
the car. When the game is startcdthe dog
should continually give tongue, so that you
(and the fox as‘ well) maLalway know just
where he is. The wrinkled brows and fore-
heads, and long pendent ears and flows of
many of these dogs, gives them an extremely
sad and troubled expression from which,
One might suppose their lives were “fu' 0’
seriousness.” Perhaps (who knows ?)‘ this
solemn cast of visage comes of much pou-
dering on the knavrsh-tricks of the wily fox,
and of schemes for circumventing his many
artifices. Their tails are not at all inclined
to be bushy, like those of the English fox-
hounds of the present day, but are almost
as slender and as clean as the tail of the
pointerz—Rowland E. Robinson; Srz'bner
for Jon.

Sister, the Countess de Paris, has sent a wed.
ding gift of a beautiful suite of jewels. The
