f1isTREssiNG CASE.

a late English paper gives the parti.
cuIars Of the sufforings Of young man
who received a pair Of boots from the
cordwa amer, where they had been for
some time under repair. lie put the
boots on the next day, TO visit some of
his friends. On walking little distance
the boots soon became so very pain
full that he was soon obliged to "pu,
back" What could cause the pain he
was at ioss to coDceiye---tbe boots fitted
him easily when he put them on, and
the leather was very soft. He applied
several times, with great pain, the boot
lacs--snd succeeded finally, only by
tearing both the stockings and nearly all
the skin from his feet.
The cause Of this unpleasant circum-
stance il win hardly be believed arose
from the shoemaker having neatly lin
cd the boots with--s'cobler's wax" The
gentleman applied to magistrate for
: redress, but it being rare case the ma
gistrate was at loss how to decide, and
the gentlemen and the shoemaker ulti-
rnately settled the affair themselves.
