Night had set in deep, and in a 6mall log cabin, situated a few miles from Trenton, New Jersey, sat five men, four of whom were seated around an old oaken table in the centre of the room playing cards, while 'they frequently ! moistened their throats with large draughts | from an earthen jug that stood on the (able. They were heavily bearded, coarse looking men. and from their dress, which somewhat resembled the British uniform, they were evi dently tories. The other was a stout bui t young man, clad in the continental uniform.— j He sat in one corner of the room with Li3 fact buried in his hands. “ Tom,” said one of the torirs. rising from the table and seating himself near the young prisoner, for such he evidently was, “ Tom, yon and I were schoolboys together, and J like ton yet. Now. why can t you give up your wild notions and join us. Y ou are our prisoner, and if you don’t we shall hand vou over to headquarters to-morrow; while, if you join us. your fortune is made, for w ith your bravery and talents you will soon distinguished your self in the royal army, and after this rebellion is crushed out, your cause would be rewarded by a knighthood and promotion in the army. Now, there are two alternatives, which do you choose ?” “Neither,” said the young man, raising his head and looking the Tory steadily in the eye. | “ 1 am now, as you say, your prisoner, but : when the clock strikes twelve I shall leave you j —1 shall disappear in a cloud of tire and smoke, and neither you nor your comrades, not even myself cm prevent it. Y ou may watch me as dose as you please^ tie me hand and foot if you will, but a higher power than yours or mine has ordained that I shall leave you at that time.” “ Poor fellow, his mind wanders,” said the i lory, “lie’ll talk different in ihe morning.”— ! And he returned to his sent at the table, leav- j ing the youth with his head again resting in j his hands. j When the clock struck eleven, the young j prisoner drew a pipe and some tobacco frojo his pocket, and asked the tory leader if he had any objection to his smoking. “None in the least,” lit said, a lding with a laugh, “that is. if you'i! promise not to disap pear in a cloud of tobacco smoke.” The young man made no reply, but immedi ately filled and lighted his pipe. Having done which, he arose ami commenced pacing the floor. He took half a dozen turns up and down each side of the room, approaching nearer the table each time, when, having exhausted the contents of his pipe, lie returned to his seat and refilled it. He continued to smoke until the clock struck twelve, when he arose from his seat and slow ly knocking the ashes out of his pipe, said: “There, boys, its twelve o'clock, and I must leave you; good-bye!” Immediately all around the room streaks of fire ran hissing and squirming; the cabin was filled with dense, sulphurous smoke, amid which was heard a clap of thunder. The tories sat in their chairs paralyzed with fright. The smoke soon cleared away, but the pris oner was nowhere to be seen. The table was overtimed, the window was smashed to pieces, and one chair was lying on the ground outside of the building. The tory leader, after recovering from his stupor, gave one glance around the room and sprang out of the window, followed by his comrades. They rau through the forest at the top of their speed in the direction of the Brit ish encampment, leaving their muskets and other arms to the mercy of the dames, which had now begun to devour the cabin. The next day two young men dressed in the Continental uniform, were seen standing near the ruins of the old cabin. One was the pris oner of the night previous. “ Let us hear all about it, Tom,” said the other. “ YY'ell,” said Tom, “last evening as I was passing this place, two tories ran out of this cabin and took possession of me.

Capt. A. M. Thruslier, tor the prosecution, followed in a spicy speech, showing the ridic ulousness of the case at issue. He said he entertained the highest regard for Mrs. Speed, that he did not believe her possessed of any unkind feelings towards Dyar, or in the least disposed to be unfair, but that she had been misled by witnesses, and that she was perfectly honest in claiming the turkey, but he thought it too plain to admit of a doubt as to the tur key belonging to Mr. Dyar. After the argu ment had ended, the Court decided that the turkey should be loosed in the street and if it went to Dyar’s it would be sufficient evidence that it belonged to him : but if not that it should be returned to the Court for final de cision. The prisoner was thereupon released and allowed to go at large and choose his home; this, however, he failed to do, but at night perched himself on the fence in rear of Dr. Ogilby's office on Araine street. He was re-ar- rested and lodged in jail the secoud time to await the further action of the Court.

Root, and a Chaplain McCabe have immor talized themselves—the former by setting to music, and the latter by singing at the Chica go Convention the first campaign song of the j b ummer party. We t ike their word for it.— Bummerism is one of their elements. The bummer party song has been endorsed by the New York Tribune, and it is rarely that we see the naked truth so free>y exposed to the gaze of the world. Three groans for the “bummer party.” Hear the beautiful refrain : “Then rally again, then rally again, With the soldier, the sailor and bummer; We will fight it out here, on the old Union line, No odds if it takes us all Summer.” Now, there is a spark of open, unblushing rascality and bold frankness in this declaration of “ bnmmer" principles, which the New Y'ork Tribune endorses by publishing, that we do not hesitate to thus put upon record for their benefit. Hurrah for the bummer flag of Grant which he had worn two cr three vears longer aa ^ Colfax. A bnmmer is a thie f , a prowling, sneaking, I druken, debauched cur, who hangs upon the i tail of an army.

He prescribed j this anil that, and thus days rnn into weeks, and weeks iuto months. The cure, however, was still coming. The physician tried to con sole her. One day the patient hit upon a curious ■ scheme, and she waited not long to carry it j into effect. She procured for herself a very old and poor attire, put a hood of tremendous size ! upon her head, took an old umbrella and a i market basket in her hand, and in these habil- | intents she visited her physician, selecting for I the purpose a very rainy day. She bad so j well succeeded in distorting and disguising ; herself that the pye evert of a lover could ! scarcely have recognized her. She was oblig- [ ed to wait for a long time in the ante-room of the phy.-ician, with many others who, like her, were seeking relief. At last her turn came “ YY el!, mv good woman, what have you to complain of?” •• Y'ery bad eyes, doctor,” she nnswpred He took her to the light and looked into her eyes, but failed to recognize his patient.
