in the town. Neither do I know of any historical or romantic associations that attach themselves to the village. In former times, however, it was inhabited by a number of sporting gentlemen, who raised and raced fine horses, and had a singular fondness for cock- fighting. Situated in the Court house yard, and visible from my hotel windows, is the remains of a cock-pit, where in times gone by these ardent sportsmen matched their mains and staked large sums upon them. I venture to say the old hotel, in which I am now writing, has many a time rung with excited disputes and arguments over a day's sport, and has concocted many a cool mint julep for thirsty betters. Milford station is three miles from here, and at that place we take the cars. The down train passes at twelve and before the night comes, D. V., our journey will end at its starting point, Richmond. At any rate here ends my record of the trip, and once more my pen glides into silence from the signature. Bohemian.
