A few days age, as Mrs. Booth, the hostess of the
Golden Lion Inn, Chester, was crossing the stable yard,
a horse made up to her, and actually bit off one of her
ears.— Chester Chronicle.

M. DENox, the celebrated traveller, though one of
the most amiable, was certainly notthe most handsome
of men. Three or four year: ago, a portrait of him, by
a celebrated artist, was placed hr the exhibition of the
Louvre. Some wag having bribed one of the printers
of the catalogue, a picture rei‘resenting a monkey re-
ceived the number mh:ch was intended for Denim's.
This occasioned a few mistakes and great merriment.'
The story having reached the ears or the Baron, he
went to take a peep at the eel. Mated monkey, and
Sliding the picture to be a good one, he •gave a high
price tor it to the artist, and placed it by the side of his
own portrait ; this good•aatuted behaviour silenced the
writers of epigrams,. and the cutters or jibes and jokes.

GUILDHA

guessers. Silents—'ibis was a proceeding against Mr. Wio,:;%
Sheers for an-assault and battery on the person of Mr. Jas. Hurley.
Mr. \Valiant Sheen is an Englithat :n —Large, bony, aid coadt.s
—or rather whet once was his coat has been shorn of its Las ty
time, and is now nothing more than a sort of sent-jatitet, ur jicktt.
tee, jagged round the bottom at la Vandyix. Mr. J. Hurley sets
once one of Mr. O'Connell's "six millions of the finest peasaatty
on the fact: of the earth ;" and, " Oh !" a finer 'pecimen of those
same beautiful six millions no moderate man would wish to ser;—
a piercing else, a curly poii, a brawny arm, a broad back, a fri,xt
coat, and a glib tongue.
" Tore Honour," said Mr. Hurley, " its oranges I carry, when I
can get 'em, which isn't often, for the orange marchatits
lane (notolph); and so does Misther Sheers, now fore anent 4v..tre
Honour for punching myself, and by the same token the marks are
plain to be seen under my shirt if yore Honour plates."
" I do not wish to see your marks, man," said the worthy Alder-
man. Sir CHARLeS FLowse ; "tell us why heponchcd soon"
Well then yore llotiour," replied the burley Ir. Hurley "chair
jest what toyed( wants to know. List night be comes •a my pla.c
next door to his oun—bad luck to 'ens for harbouring the likes of
him ! and come out o' that ye varmint, says he. Wbat did ye want
Another Sheers? says I. Yure a d—ol rascal, says he. What ft).-
says I. Take that! says he—an och ! faith, but ht gives me a
pa/dojo f tinder my nose, sent my head back against the jntrb o' t!!'
door; and I woubl'nt mind it much neither, but he gives me a
punch in the belly, brings me forrut sgen, and a punch under ae
right ear knocked my head to the left, and a punch under my It!:
ear knocks my head to the right; a.,d, divvfe burn ye! thtns, 4
Misther Sheer:, he kilt if I stand it any longer ;so 1 !iirtied•.l
fore part behind, to get out of hi: way, and he takes me a Lick—
where it would be a shame to naintion to yore Honour, and the:;
walked off to his own place, without so much as I ax yore pard.e,
for it ! So yore Honour, I'll jest be kind enough to bind him dew;,
to tlit law, for I'll be afraid to live in the court, if I don't get bier
under bail, yure Honour."
" Well, Mr. Sheers, what have you to say ?" asked Sir Coapite.
" Why, your Worship, the case is as this," replied Mr. Sheer ,
" there's a great lot of us unticketed porters in notolph-lane ;
little enough there is for us to do; but I'm the only ittiglishma
among them, and that's where the matter hes; for they think,
cause they're Irishmen, they've a right to have all the pottering
themselves; but to my thinking, an Englishman has as good rash:
to keep himself from starving, by carrying a chest of oranges, as as
Irishman has. However they call me a hittlettoper, and yesterdzy
morning the whole lot of 'ens, sonic twenty or thirty, and Master
Hurley, here, amongst the rest, Set upon sae, and gave me such a
toweling, as I shall feel for these two weeks to eo :ie. Only see nay
eye your Worship!"
Och! bad lack to your eye, Mather Sheers !" cried Mr. Her-
ley—* an ye know ye got yure eye among your own kunthrytnea
in Gooldin-lane that day."
" Mr. Sheen solemnly declared that he got it among the Irishmen
in Botolph-lane, and that was why he went into Mr. Hurley's
room to ask bins what he and hi: countrymen meant by knocking
him about so savagely ; but instead of making him a decent answer,
Mr. Hurley gave him "a deal of sarce," and in return he gave Mr.
Mirky an odd thump or two ;" for which he now expreFseclanuck
contrition, and hoped his Worship would overlook it.
" Yore Honour, I'll be kilt if I don't get him under bail!" re.
peated Mr. Hurky, with much emphasis.
" You had better go aside and try whether you carom arrange it
in a friendly way," said the Alderman.
They went aside, and in two minutes they came _back again,
when the officer informed the Alderman there was no chance of an
amicable arrangemeut, as Mr. Hurley demanded ten shillings as
the price of his forbearance—which ten shillings Mr. Sheer* could
not pay.

"Sure, yure Honour, I've a right to git tin shillings out of him,"
cried Mr. Hurley," for I'm afraid I'll get kilt with bins, sometime."
The ALDZILIZAN thought there was no danger of his getting
" kilt ;" and at last Mr. !barley put his fear in his pocket, and took.
Mr. Sheen's word of honour to pay hintfiae shillings " as soon as
possible." _ _
