MILITIA PARADE IN CoNNEcTICUr. There
was parade of the militia at New Haven,
Conn. few days ago, and as a similar farce
here was postponed to ''more convenient sea-
son." we give the following account of the way
they edo the thing" among the Connecticut
yankees The New Haven Courier says:


"Of all the farces which we recolect to have
seen upon this occasion, that of yesterday may
be considered ahead. We allude to the "first
company" as we saw no other on duty. We
are informed that several attempts to call the
muster roll, for the purpose of ascertainng de-
lnquents, was summarily defeated by the noise
Of the motley grouf assembled, and their un-
lawful answers TO every name called, whether
absent or present.


Some few streets were paraded through ap-
parently for display of the ludcrous and the
qualification of idle boys and full grown loafers,
beyond which, no earthly good was manifest.
At the time Of dismission, the respect for their
commander was shown, by sauting him with
missiles of all kinds, sticks and watermelon
rhines, which was kept up till he reached his
quarters Who will not unite with the advo-
Gates of military reform IN their endeavors to
wipe out SO foul disgrace from the escutcheon
of our own state, and some sensible men from
the odum of thus ministering to useless and
disgraceful puppet-show and semi yearly farce"
