 Twenty dollars more, MT. Clerk
 Fla, ha.' laughed Mr. D. with some bitterness, You are trifling with me, see, sir @but can tell you, I understand no such joking; and by G.. sir, you will do well to make an end ofit.' .=r
 Mir. Clerk said the judge, with great composure, add twenty dollars more to the fine, and hand the account toRhe sher- if. MT. D. the money must be paid im- mediately, or shall commit you to prison.
 The violence of the lawyer compelled the judge to add another fine; and before night. the obstreperous barrister was swear ing with all his might, to the bare walls of the county jail. The session of the court was terminated, and the lawyer seeing no prospect of escape through the mercy of the judge, after fortnight's residence in pris- 1 on, paid his fine of hundred and twenty dollars, and was released. He now breath ed nothing but vengeance.
 'l1l teach the Yankee scoundrel,' said he, that member ofthe Kentucky bar. is not to be treated in this manner with im- punity.'
 The judge held his next court at Frank fort, and thither MT. D. repaired to take revenge for the personal indignity he had suffered. Judge R. is as remarkable for resolute fearlessness as for talents, frm- ness, and integrity, and after having pro- vided himself with defensive weapons, en- tered upon the discharge of his duties with the most phlosophic indifference. On| passing from his hotel to the court house, the judge noticed that man of great size, and evidently of tremendous muscular strength. followed him so closely as to al- low no man to step between. He observ- ed, also, that Mir. D. supported by three or four friends, followed hard upon the heels of the stranger, and on entering the court room, posted himselfas near the seat of the judge as possible the stranger, meantime, taking care to. interpose his huge body between the lawyer and the judge. Fortwo or three days matters went on in this way, the stranger sticking like bur to the judge. and the lawyer and his as- sistants keeping as near as possible, but re- training from violence. At length the cu- riosity of judge R. to learn something re- specting the purposes of this modern Her. cules became irrepressible, and he invited @;..s t~ h:s so~,'sss s..,l ;s.z-.:s-1 l.- and what object he had in view in watcll- ing his movements thus pertinaciously.
 Why, you see,' said the stranger, re- jecting quid of tobacco that might have freighted small skiff. I'm a ring-tail'd roarer from Big Sandy River, can out run, outjump, and outright any man in Ken lucky. They telled mo in Danville, that this 'ere lawyer was comin down to give you lickin. Now l hadn't nothin agin that, only he want a going to give you fair play, so come to see you out, and now if you'll only say the word. We can fog him and his mates in the twinkling of a quart pot.'
 Mr. D. soon learned the feeling with which the champion regarded him, and withdrew without attempting to execute his threats of vengeance upon the judge.
